it as our prit,itege, nor interest, or astir duty, nay
merely as a matter of political expediency, as'es-
sential to the -moral government,of a State, is cer•
tainiy a suliject of the higlicsi_ importance, not
'only. to Nai ions and States collectively, bu't to man-
kind int!PriduMly. This is 'elearly"&docible from
the, 'wore, tendency, and excellency of Religion.
itself, and also the history and religious' obser-
vances of all nations, whether Christian, Pagan,
or Ai ahometab yet, in a country like this, s'o re-
nowned for the poky of itstfaitAi, and the fervour
tif its devotion, to occupy
,the, time and attention
of mV fellow-countrymen, in attempting tO
since them of what each must or ought to be duly
sensible, I aitotild,consider,an .41.sult..botli:to their
ondersiancliogs.and their piety, since even a Turk,
an Arab, or til'ersian; would resent such ,an at-
tempt the big'hest indignation, as, he deems:
the Religion of the great Prophetimas'he is styled,
his proudest brtast, and his. Worship his noblest
employ. Can I then suppose that Britain, si land
of professing- ldhristians, where-the beitigu Stin
of Righteousness has shed his brightest beams of
truth and puritly, will feel less zeal and devotion
in her Divine-Master's set vice ? Christian charity
torblds me evef, for a moment to entertain such a
suspicion.

, Wtierefore,Aeeming the importance of Religion
admitted, I proceed to remark, that if Religion, as
it certainly is, he of the highs-'s: InOthebt to our
feli-
cilp here and our felicity hereafter, it is the tubst
'ironer topic for discussion oiz any and everr.oc•
rasion : more especially so at the present period,
when truths the most clear and sacred are contro-•
verted and impugned, theYlares •of God and man
set at defiance, and God's infinite and incommu-
nicable attributes arraigned and adjudged at the
inadegnate (Hisao-al of finite reason; when infide-
lity not only overspreads thCnnturored regiotis

sitiobsof the phashpher, the elegant effusions -of

and amusement, are now ton .frequently the de-
structive vehicles either of atheism, sceptidsm,

versive of every principle of a religious establish-
ment ; consequently dissolving 'every fie wli7ch

becomes not only every Minister or, Christ, but
eVery. friend to oider and morality,
carefully to detect and, duly to miose 'the per,-
nicions etrors .and glaring alisnulities of the
pretended Illuminati of the pr;sent day, who are
ever on' the alert to poison. the Minds of the
unwary, seduce them froth the pail's 'of duty and
allegiance, rob ithem of theirpeace, and claiken
and embitter the evening of their. days thus in-
stead of proving ,their friends, as they profess,
they ultimately prove their assassins'!
Deeply impressed with these•truthi, I - shall
now, in order to preventmy,Fellow-suhjects from
being led astray by their delusive theories, and
Wining their b ightest hopes on the treacherbds
basis of such fatal hypothesis, proceed co consider
the Evidences, both Natural and Revealed, in
support of our Holy Faith, and which God, in his
abundant mercy, once delivered-to the'Saints, and
which, as Britons and as Christians, it is our pri-
vilege and our duty to practise and defend.
First, then 1 shall notice the evidence in sup-
port of Christianity, which the life and death of
the Atheist affords, since this is taking him on his
own ground, coneetioently leaving hint without.
excuse. When. Under the term Atheist, I appre-
hend,' may be included must of the more daring
Deists of thi day ; for, hoWever, tinder, the plea
of Deism, they may evidelhe Law', appease their
consciences, lull their judgment, and satisfy _the
reason by beWildering it ; still, as far as volition
goes, they are decided Atheists, and that at heart ;
while farther titan this they cannot be, as no one
was ever yet an Atheist front the convictions of
reason, but from the'corrupt bias of a vitiated vo•
lition, which, aided by the impetuosity of the pas-
sions, dethroned his reason, and subdued and laid
desolate the nobler empire of the mind.—" 'Azo
zu,l,Kccorcov etvroxi eitirycocrscri at)res."--said the co-
equal,. co-eternal, and ineffable Son of God, where-
fore, higher authority than thia we cannot ha've.

First, then, let sis view the Atheist in the busi-
ness and bustle of life, immersed in all its cares,
anxieties, difficulties, and 'embarrassments ; can
he, with all his boasted endowments, superior at-
tainments, acumen of diseeinment, luminous
powers of reason, min presumptuous independence
of his Gud, cats he, 1 say, command health and
strength, when, and wisert; he pleases, for the
management of his affairs ? Os., can he ensure suc-
cess its Isis complicated undertakings ? Is the din)
light
.of his own finite and depraved reason suffi-
cient to illuminate Isis path, and to secure bins
against those innumerable casualties and contin-
gencies which every where await him ? Can he
say to the functions of life, ye shall not be imped-
ed; and to Disease, thoU shalt not assail my fratne ?
Can he say to misfortune, 1 defy thee, and" to
prosperity,
,thou shalt crown every enterprise
,As well might be, my Friends, bid the thunders
roll, the lightnings
_to glare, the clouds to with-
hold their rain, the stars their shining, the sun to
retire into primmval obscurity, the seas 'ty be
dried,up, or the earth to be hurled from its,ba.
lance, and crumbled into invisible
.particles ;, jor

own vitiated opiniOnc• they !must-lor existence,
as he disallows, the being of a Guth; the:absurdity
of which opinion is too: glaring to need fin-thee
rem,trk ; I therefore pass on to inquire, can he
ensure their health, strength, end improvement
during the tender and uncertain•morning of life
or their success, happiness, and respectability,
when they mingle with its busier scenes, any
more than he.can his own ? He is convinced that
he cannot: Does he never betray:stich.a convic-
tion by the ardent wish, anxious hope., which he
vxpresses, ot by the fervent prayer 'which' he se-
cretly offers., that GVid would grationsly inspire
the minds, gnine the pursuits, Knit bless en•
deavours of Isis .nottitored offspft; I can I sup-
pose, nay, will charity suffer rue to conchnle he
does not ? "Yet, if he be consivent with himself,
be tanuot ; yet, I think, we may fairly infer, that
inisucli a case, Atheistical consistency would :odd,
to parernalati,eion, and thus he another argu-
ment in linpfro:l of out Holy iiclilwion.
Thirdly, let us view hint on he bed of sickness,
writhing with tob;,ony aria towing with disquietude';
linable for a single,moinent to abate c h.e vir=ilence
of the disease, allay his pain, or flitter himself
with the hope of recoVery singe the skill of the
physician is vain, medicine yields no relief, end ex-
hausted natu,re'appearto tsink under the acen-
inulved pressure 0t dise!ise. Does he then, my
frjends, never raise an imploring eye, a suppliant
'glance, nor offer a''repentant prayer to the gracious
-Father of mercies. for relief. and.f6r.recoyery is
.Yet here again, if,l4e he consistent with himself,
he cannot,
,since ltc professedly' denies the exist-
ence, disallows -the? attributei: and despises the
'mercy of the only Being who could afford him
relief. Still, however daring he 11)(17 be, in health
and strength, here I think 'bat infidelity mnst

who may surround his bed, that Ileigirin. is not a

of God, and the wisdom of Gotiv to,cat.vatiou to
every one who belie%eth."

Lastly, let,ps vjew in. the solemn moments
of expiring lonnipity the icy hind of death
is aoto to draw-the dtirtain of life for ever ; when
las votaries can.no.looger Hid kri:s.Soppose.tl triumph

mory, tenacious of tie past, recalls each pla-ce,
each act, and each methiol, where and by which he
set God at tit fiance ; while the finger of conscience

the radianceof,a suO-Ifeam, each wait un, each

its firmness to:act or to stiffer in the cause of
Atheism, Deism, and Infiddity, now shakes with
horror, and While.the eye', which once flashed de-
fiance at the Ministers of God,. now fears to be.
hold the light ! Here pity entreats me to cancel
the sequel, yet truth imperatively enjoins me to
disclose, the whole. Let us then, my friends, ere
'the last gasp claie the awful scene, appro!,ch the
wretched couch of expiring infidelity, and catch
the last tremulous confession as it escapes Elton
his lips. What does it import ? That he has de-
spised the gracious oveitures of Divine- mercy,
and counted the blood of .thecovenant an unholy
,thing, and therefore is without hope :--tint he is
convinced of the harmony of the Divine Attri-
butes; of the Divinity and Mediatorial Office of
Christ, 'of the Divinity of the Holy,Spirit, and of
the authenticity of the Holy Scriptures. When
todescribe Ore.:closing scene would require an
Angel's pendeath preying on his vitals, 'the
1 vultures of misery preying on his conscience, anti
Ha theadfol Eternity yawning tti..his view,,rendee
the scene too terrific any longer to support ! Let
us then drop the tribute of a tear to his 'misery,
and retire, convinced of the truth of our Holy
Religion how the life and death of the Atheist.--
Yet had be biter:_ a sincere believer in Christ, in-
stead of the horrors whiCh thus surround and over-
' whelm him, all the ineffable glories of a future
world would burst upon his view !
Hence we may fairly inter the.palpable absur-
dity why) the conduct of"these deficri of God,
despisers of Christ, and re'vile-rs• of every thing,
moral ant) religious, displays, since their life e.(41!.
tradictr their assertions, and its miserable close
sets their seal to tie testimony. Wherefore, my
Friends' and 'Fellow-subjects; veliateVi+ may be
their conduct, let it be our highest ainbition tt
tear God, honour the King :. nor ever let us blush
to wear the epaolet of
.our God on one shoulder,
_and epaulet of King, on the other : thus let us
defend tire ramparts- of Old England, guard- the
gates of Jernsalem, and protect the Ark °low GO.
