LITERARY REVIEW

A REPLY to a PAMPHLET entitled the LEGALITY of
the QUESTIONS ptoposed by Dr. HERBERT MARSH,
L?r,rl Bishop of PETERBOROUGH, to Candidates for
H9ly Orders within that Diocese, considered. By a LAY..
MAN.
- -

Tie Writer of this sensible Tract is entitled
to the thanks of the .Members of the Church and
of the Christian World in general. Ile intro-
duceS the subject with the following objections,
which are highly creditable to his feelings and
motives :
I ant too well aware of the eminence on which the Reverend
Prelate is placed, whose peculiar mode of examining the
Candidates for Holy Orders, hat been violently attached is a
Pamphlet entitled, the Legality of the Questions proposed
by Dr. Herbert Marsh, &c. &c. considered,' nut to be consci-
ous that any appearance of defending that Prelate, would
justly lie coudemned as presumptious. It, therefore, becomes
me briefly to state the reasons which have induced me to at-
tempt a reply to the above-mentioned Pamphlet, and to put
the intentions of Dr. Marsh in their proper light.
in SeVetai societies in which 1 hare lately been, the Pam-
' plavt allutled to was favourably spoken of ; on farther inqui-
discovered, that the Calvinistic Methodists were sedu-
lously disseminating it ; and my own observatiou informed
rue, that it had gained considerable and unturrited influence
swermany inconsiderate minds.
Zealous for the interests of the Estal►lisped Church. and
unacquainted with any of its members to WI I could pro-
pose the task--1 determined, being conscious of the rectitude
of my intentions, to take it on myself, though fully satisfied
how little qUalified I am to such an undertaking. The tear,
and almost breathless baste with which it h,ts unavoidably
been-written, will, i oust, be a sufficient apology' for the at-
tempt, when the Motives are considered which urged use to
enter the field of controversy.

A LAYMAN.

A REPLY, &C.
The writer of this extraordinary production presumes to
accuse the learned and indefatigable notate, Dr. Herbert
Marsh, of invading the established institutions of that Church,
which he has so long, so zealously supported, by his writings
and example. And of having taken a step, (hy proposiug
certain questions to the candidates for Holy Orders, to ascer-
tain if their belief is
_tainted by the petrifying doctrines of
Calvinism) which will inevitably '' undermine the fabric,
and 'ultimately occasion its dissolution." That the learned
Prelate has, in defiance of law and custom, proposed a test of
bit own, usurping the place of the authorized Articles of the
Church. And that the moral character of the candidate is a
secondary consideration with his Lordship, so that he unequi-
rocally subscribes to the propositions in question.
The " unfeigned concern ' expressed by the writer of
this accusation, and the purity of intention he admits in prd
Marsh, after preferring " charges of so grave a nature"
against lint, art uneeorthy of farther notice.
It is stow my intention to shew, that be has no foundation
for thus accusing the Learned Prelate; and that the questions
proposed by Dr. Marsh are only interrogatory elucidations
of the established test, which are admirably calculated to as-
certain that the candidate for Holy Orders has, in Ito respect,
% leaning to a belie( in those Calvinistic Doctrines, which
are fraught with moral and political evil, and which, from
their epidemic character, threaten consequences of evil im-
port, both to our religious and civil establishments.
The Writer of the Questions considered declares himself
" as being desirous to confine his arguments to the illegality
of superseding the use of the only authorized And established
test ; and after filling many pages With abstracts of edicts,
and " royal ratifications," thus sums up Lis labouis ; " These
various extracts sufficiently prove in what numerous instances
the Peterborough Articles infringe upon the provisions of the
law ; how they usurp the place exclusively belonging to the
Thirtp,airse Articles, and their direct tendency to produce all
entire change in the established and wily authorized mode of
proceeding.
This, assertion is supported by no comparisons of the
Questions with the Arti.les, and where they deviate from the
established test, fairly pointed out, and then, the Proclama-
tion or Edict, immediately referring to the ;mints brought
forward, to shew that the question proposed is an infringe-
- menton that Edict. Neither is the assertion deduced by a
chain of connected reasoning, but actually dependent on t

decimation of the accuser.
However exalted or conscientious his nwitires might have
been iu bringing forward these charges against lie. Mash, he
seems to have had no reasonable foundation for htiog
compelled " by a regard to higher obligations," at least I
conclude so, because he offers 11011 C.
After carefully comparing the propositions of Dr. Marsh,
with our Articles, I deny, that in any one instance, there
exists " the least difference ji.ont the said 47.th,1e5," or that
the learned Ptelate has either directly or indirectly at.
tempted." to draw aside the Article in any way ;" and this is
the utmost extent to which Rfiy of the edicts, or 44 royal ra-
tifications" go; and to which he seems to assent, by having
• pillar"A the above quotations in Italics as they ale here.
If then, as I assert, no difference exists between the Ques-
tions and the Articles; and which the writer of the Legality
of the Questions considered dues not himself state,. except in
one instance, (viz. that of Original Sin, which I will pre-
sently examine), his accusation is groundless.
His tootle of reasoning on the assent to these propositions
being. required from every Clergyman, on his becoming a
resident in the Diocese of Peterborough, is equally weal;,
the conclusion, if such it can be termed, Orson!. Because
the Prelate requires such assent, he asserts " that there can
be no basitat' its stating, •iiat the Peter.borough proposi-
'loos may justly he denominated a Nog test, and considered
as forming New Articles of Faith for the Clergy of that Dio-
cese." Before he came to so positive a conclusion, it would
have been consistent with reason to have first shewn, that the
Propositions differed so widely from the Articles, as to form a
new code. and that this co,:e was proposed, which wool()
then have brCOllle a New Test, its opposition to law and CUs-

tort.
But he has concluded, that because an assent was required
to certain propositions, that Vie required assent had the ma-
gical %Maw of converting the propositions into New Auticles,
and that these New Article, thus magically obtained, be-
came a New Test.
Of the insumations towards the end of the question con-
tattered, where these amhignous phrases are used. " if the
Octet borough propositions sere all tie," "and though
they were liiih;e to no charge of fake &Jennie, yet their evil
tendency, titc..5,1c."1 I shall take no notice, hut proceed to
'EX: 111611 e Iris tikjitClll,ll to the questions on Original sin, and
declaration of" total CqUCUlitioll arid dCofetVity."
The learned writer then enters on the doctrine
.•
of Original Sini and its complex nature, but our
limited space prevents us following hint through
this branch of his subject, which he treats most
satisfactorily, and proves the attack. on the ve-
nerable Prelate to be unwarrantable, and with-
out any foundation whatever.—This Writer then
observe,

" I pass over the gross assertion, that the irreproaehabb•
moral coton,et of ihr candidal es fur fluty Ordvi s, is not lirlsl
by the Bislini• of Prterbor,iugh 71.,. a (within.; ion

does not exist there responsibility cannot be—which teaches
him that no exertions of his own can procure him the favour
of his Maker. - That unless he feels himself called by some
secret. even momentary impulse, he it lost and must consider .
himself a predestined child of endless misery. And a due-.
trine which destroys the efficacy of prayer, since it sets forth
that before he became a living soul he was predestined tea
bliss or misery; and reduces religion to the performance of',
established ordinances, which have no effect in procuring for
him either bapriness or misery in a world to come. Whet
are the probable effects of such doctrines on the mass of man-
kind? I answer, to render them inactive in their duties—to
excite melancholy and superstition—to lead them as being
passive agents. to the commission of sin, with this excuse on
their lips, that they are predestined, not yet called by the
Holy Spirit; and what is, if possibly, more detrimental to the
well being of society, n conviction, that if they have a firm
faith in the efficacy of atonement of um Lord and Saviour
that works Ci. e. the fruits of the spirit) arc not requisite.
'' It is to prevent the promulgation of such petrifying
doctrines, that lower the dignity of man, without exalting
our estimation of the Creator, which threaten the establish•
ed religion, and the bonds of social union with destruction,
that has induced the excellent arid learned Pi elate to propose
his sifting interrogatories to the Candidates for Holy Order.,
and I trust that his labours may be crowned with success,.
and that his energy may inspire the ministry with still greater
exertions to eradicate the weed of Calvinisti-c Methodism,
which flourishes too strongly among the middle and lower
orders of the community, and has even appeared among the:
highest:* .
We have with great pleasure availed ourselves
of the first opportunity of noticing this short
Tract, in defence of one of the most distinguish-
ed Churchtfien of the present day, whose Learn-
fing, Piety, and Virtues, pre-eminently entitle
him to the distinguished situation he hohLs in the.
Hierarchy—and who_ is one of the recent in-
stances of the disinterested disposal of Church
Patronage by his Majesty's present Minister, the
Earl of LIVERPOOL.

CURSORY THOUGHTS, &c.

It is very ingeniously put forth in The Times,
thus admitting the fact to a certain extent,lhat
it was MADAME DUMONT, and not the P of
W— who accompanied BERGAMI as her mis-
tress to the masquerade. But The Times does
not tell us how a servant maid is to personate her
mistress, in a disguise such as she does not ap-
pear in in propria persona. A Dame d'houneur
may dress herself up like a Princess—a maid may
dress herself in her mistress's clothes, or a vul-
gar Woman, as we now see every day on the road
to 'Hammersmith, may dress, herself up like a
female chimney-sweep on Mayday, and.try to
pass for a lady—but it is the rust time we have
heard of a woman disguising herself unlike her
mistress, in order to pass for her.
Young TIMBER, it is said, intends to bring over
from Italy the Carriage in which a certain person
sat upon BEnuAmes lap ! But will that prove
the decency of the custom, or prove that the
parties did not ride in it. Perhaps, however, it
is intended to throw the blame on the coach-ma-
ker! or, perhaps, upon PADDY'S principle,-who
having broken an elegantly cut decanter, was
asked by his master whilst bringing a second,
" how he broke the first ?" " Just so ! plase
your honour !" said PAT, suiting the action to
the word, as if he had read SHAKSPEARE!
The Times, last week, proved its right to lead
the politics of Europe by the elegant accuracy of
its translation from the French.. Giving an ex-
tract from the examination of the young Princess
Royal before • a Revolutionary Committee, it
very cleverly translates " Parens," or Relatives,
by the near sounding English word Parents,
though the unfortunate Louts had perished some
months before, and although the extract itself
expressly referred to the QUEEN and MADAME
ELIZABETH Yet this is the Journal which pre-
tends to draW parallels between MARIE Ayrot-
NETTE and somebody else !

Some well-meaning people are staggered at the
sight of the numerous processions to Hammer-
smith, considering them as tests of public opi-
nion ; but forgetting that other motives may exist,
4nd that perhaps more than half of those who
swell the train never travelled so far before in
the course of their lives

The Chronicle and Times call upon us to look
at the processions, and ask, " are they not all
living creatures who attend theirs?" Just so, does
the showman at the fair exclaim—" Here they
are, all alive, and striffed with straw ! You would
think them alive; but they are no more alive
than h am!"
The Sailors' _Address- to his Majesty at Cowes
was not half so grand as that to nv.a. MAJESTY
at liammersniit!i—they had neither their wives
nor fiddlers!
There is reason to doubt the fact, as stated by
Mr. TiELwALL, that Alderman Woon is a Lord
of heaven's own making; we saw the Worthy
Alderman, only a few days ag), " as tall 'and as
strait as a popular tree"—hut those who are
Loids by nature have their backs broke!

will an annuity of ten pounds a-year to the Pa-
rish of Sherborne, in I)orsetshire, on condition
that the large church bell should be tolled an-
nually for six hours, on the return of the day on
which he died ; and thirty pounds to the Vicar,
to preach a funeral sermon on the same day. The
sermon was preached c.n Saturday se'nnight, but
the ringleaders abridged the time of tolling _to
one-third, to the great satisfaction of the in-
