Another point which is

whose Mouth is full of lying, and in whose wayi

that they profess an attachment to,compoiitionS,
which (although they cannot be equalled for piety
and exellency) are nothing more Ihin bunion.
they silently confess that alt veneratian far Divine
Revelation has evaporated, and provided a passagd

never hear these pseudo religionists, s!th(i sir fre
quently transform themselves into Mini.sieri of ,
lights inculcating on their hearers either a-pas,•ive
and humble acquiescence in the puoVidentird ad•
ministration of affairs, or a patient sithmit•sion to
the Constituted Authorities. They rather tvll.

them that the ways of God are not equal, or en-
courage them not to abide in their several callings.
I suppose they possess a kind of expurgatory con-
cordance, such perhaps as Tom Paine would
have compiled, otherwise, in their frequebt re
ferences to their religiotii Code, they must occa-
sionally hit upon a passage or two favourable to
loyalty and good eitienship.. However; Mr..
Editor, I will .not be too hard, and I promise td
give them credit, as soon, as these Moralists shall
change their tone, when I hear them, in the words
of the Bible, commanding and enjoining their
converts to render moo God the things that are
God's, and unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's,
then,' and not all then, shall I shish them success ift
their plans of Reform. Turn may ve expect that
they will nut he long before they discover, that
it is the part of true Religion, amid its insepar. •

It cannot bedonbted, that when these. tealone
reformers are fully convinced in their minds
that the sanction of Scripture requires all
men to fear God and konotir the King (evert if
Nero were the reigning Efuptior, as I believe' he
was at the time St. Peter wrote his Epktle), that
it teaches' them that the po\vers that be are or-
dained of God (1-s-ayitt,tvA, air; Sd &se), thty will
then endeavour to instruct others in these great,
but much neglected truths.. When these times of
