BISHOP OF PETERBOROUGH'S EXAMINATION
QUESTIONS.

MR. EDITOR—I am sorry that a temporary
absence from your horizon has prevented me
from the sublime and beautiful sight of the
balloon, which has lately ascended from it with
such majesty, to the amazement, if not to the
admiration, of your literary spectators. They
must wonder at least to see this machine inflated
with so much gas of spleen and indignation
against a man, whom this towering aeronaut him-
self calls, with the same breath, a perfect
stranger. Hitherto the very name has, in all
civilized society, been a shield from personal
abuse, which has been till now chiefly confined
to familiars, who are too apt to claim their pri-
vilege, such as it is, of railing at one another.
I howeier shall hope to keep within the rules
of good breedings and shall not follow his
example of personality, as it neither suits my
taste, nor falls in with the general plan of your
invaluable Paper; which, open to all parties, and
belonging to none, stands forth so pre-eminent,
with a noble and disinterested spirit, in the cause
of truth, and consequently in the support of the
Established Church, which you believe to be
founded upon that rock of adamant, against
which the gates of hell are never to prevail. It
is part of that Church of which our Lord him-
self speaks, and to whom (in reply to F.D., by
the way, I mean to contend) the Apostles al-
lude, as long as I believe that it is founded on
the truth—as every Church that is founded
upon the same principle has the same right to
contend.

To return, however, to " Justus," I am not a
little concerned that our correspondence should
begin under such unfavourable auspices, as no-
thing but the greatest rancour and hostility could
palliate the imputations, which, stranger as he
professes himself, he would throw upon my cha-
racter. These I shall pass by with the silence
of contempt, which is perfectly reconcilable
with pity for his ignorance ; and shall only _ad-
vise him, if he is not too passnatc to take ad-
vice, to look over my letter-orte4iore, and he
will'find that the chief stress of his complaint is
not so much against what I deliver of myself, as
what I quote from an eminent paper, which,
whatever ,may be thought of the use which it
makes of its information, is in general esteemed
one of the best informed in the real history of
the times of any in circulation.
Ofthe facts so quoted, I am well convinced, by
my own observation ; and no man, much less an
anonymous correspondent, for the first time of
his introduction, can have any right to call for
authorities, nor will I ever bring forward indi-
viduals to bear witness to a fact, even though it
were not so notorious. Neither shall I consider
myself at all exposed to any such interrogatories
when I declare another fact, in confirmation to a
degree of the former, that there is the same party
spirit presiding, as I learn from most undoubted
authority, in a particular College at each of the
Universities.—ln one of them the members in
general devote themselves to the service of what
are called Evangelical Preachers : and in the
other its members actually train up young men
for that purpose, partly, and sometimes wholly,
at their own expense ; and in their zeal to make
proselytes begin, as it is reported, even in some
instances with their pupils as soon as they can
lisp, and teach them to ring the changes from
morning to night upon their favourite terms of
grace and justification, faith and election, &c.
This, however, is certain, that such pupils are
trained up in these particular Colleges at Cam-
bridge and at Oxford, but especially in the latter,
where the leading Fellows, and indeed the mem-
bers are almost all to a man of the same spirit ;
and, like the famed votaries to animal magnetism,
seem to be struck with the same electric spark
with their fellow Evangelicals, though at 200
miles distance.--These pupils so trained and
admitted, are strictly watched and their characters
thoroughly sifted, to know of a truth what spirit
they are of, lest in the changes and chances of
this world, notwithstanding all the care and zeal of
their fraternity at the College, any spark of that
holy fire should escape, which is so necessary to
keep in full play the devout passion of the elect.
When once they have passed this fiery ordeal
they are thought properly qualified for kindling
the same godly flames _of devotion through the
land, and are candidates for orders and then for
livings in the presentation of this holy family : the
first of which is fortunately as yet note so much
as the last at their own disposal, as no Bishop
that I know of, however he may he suspected to
favour them, bas openly joined this assio'ciation
in the trade of Simon Magus.
No: thanks to Heaven, as yet Candidates for
Orders are to be judged by a more sacred and
intelligent Tribunal ; by one too wise to be im-
posed upon, too just to be bribed, and too mer-
ciful not to allow for infirmities, as far as they
can be allowed for, without prejudice to the
truth. The venerable Bishops that compose this
tribunal feel that they are placed on high to pro-
, test the Church from the contagious influence of
all such as would seek under this covert and insi-
dious form a refuge in its bosom : they are seated
