SCHOLIUM.

Since as well might it be asserted, that an ana-
tomical writer or demonstrator is immoral, when
describing the unseemly parts of the human
body.

AXIOM, 8.
God is infinite and perfect in his nature and-his
attributes.

COROLLARY.

Therefore Inows what is best at all times, in
all places, and for all persons.

AXIOM, 9.
Man is imperfect in his nature, and finite in his
capacity.

COROLLARY.

Therefore totally disqualified both by nature
and capacity for forming a correct judgment with
respect to any of these.

SCHOLIUM.

Hence we may fairly infer the folly and impiety
of those who assert, that either the whole, or any
part.ot Divine Revelation is unnecessary, as it is
presuming to dictate to an infinitely wise God

creatures.

Having considered the principal objections.;
recently and so daring!), urged against both ft°
ligion and Law, I shall now close this Letter 0,
a brief application of the subject.
Let us, then, my Fellow-subjects, seeing
GOD is infinite, and that we are finite, Cce„
quently cannot compreLend infinity, never
tempt to scan the inscrutible designs of
intelligence, nor thus aspire to impossibilities•
prying into the arcana of Gon. Ever reeollecii
ing how fir ile, how absurd, how piesiimpttodfd
must be, to endeavour to scrutinize the poreyo
and designs of that infinitely glorious Being %i
fills immensity with his omnipresence, surveYffoi,
%lib his omniscience ; whose Throne is the
verse, and the period of whose reign is Etertll,lo,
But on the contrary, let us check the first!

These complaints are truly alarming to every

DREADFUL SUICIDE.-011 Wednesday mor.lll,

the third floor back window into the yard of 0
adjoining house, and by the fall was dashed

trade, to which she meant to devote a li•tlC fed

to have been the primary cause of this rash
