ORIGIN OF THE TERM PROTESTANT.—OiI the
19th day of April 11520, a felv of the Electors and Princes of
Germany, joined by the inhabitants of StrasbUrg,. Nuremberg,
Ulni, Constance, Hailbron, and seven other cities, published a
I'ROTESTATIoI agairst a Decree of the Diet, (the Assembly
of the States of•the German empire), and petitioned the Einpe-
ror to have it revoked. 'Hence, the name of Protestants was at
that period given to the Reformers of ReligiOn in Germany:
and it has since beconie the general denomination of Sects of
every description, • who, continuing to profess Christianity, ab-
jure the errors of Popery;whose adherents Ronanists, Catholics,
Roman Catholics, or more properly, Papists, because of their
subjection to the Pope, whom the greater part of them receive
and honour as Christ's Vicar; and Universal Bishop.

they hein,r second-coasiris, are, in the 4th degree-; F marriesdangliter I, who have issue, a son K ; anti G marries F's
daughter 11, who have issue, a son L. The Question is What
is the degree of consanguinity between these. two sans ?
Answer. They stand in the second degree ; for F's daughter
by his first wife, and his son, K• by the second wife, Are
brother and sister ;• and U's daughter I by his first wife, and
his son Lby his second wife, are also brother and sister. n being
the daughter ,of F, and K the son of F If 11, the daughter of
F, has married U-her cousin, their isstre L will' be a nephew to
K, because K is. the brother of L's rmither, -and L the son of
U and II is also the grandson of F, because.ll is F's daughter,
and vice mr,,, K the nephew of L, and the grandson of G.
So in every point of consanguinity, they are in the SECOND
