From general observations, Mr. Crowleg descends
to a particular examination of the articles them-
selves. Though this it is not our intention to fol-
:cm. him, as it would lead us greatly to trespass our
limited bounds. Tile popish dotirine of auricular
confession to the priest, (which, indeed, forms one
of their, sacraments) is founded on a passage in the
genera al epistle of St, James. Confess your faults
one to another, and; pray one for another, that ye
may be healed ; the elleClual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much." The translators of
:lie Douay bible, not satisfied with a misinterpreta-
tion and misapplicttion of this passage, ,have given
a false translation of it ; for instead of faults or

offence; (a rafo;irrtuu,x-r e) they render it sins ;land in-
stead of heeled (ra:97*,-11,) they render it saved. And
(bey (16iitend, that the confession was to be made
to the pries!, whom St. James ordered to be brought
to the sick.

The ohjea of the cpntesaion,_ however, was to

be cured of the disease with which the hick person
WAS afflicted ; and the ati of sending for. the elders
of the church, who were gifted with the miracti-
lous po •er of healing, ,at that time, proved the
elt.titen,ce of thatopenitence which was essential to
the attairdnent of such interposition. The conies-
sion, therefore, was not to be made by a person
.in health, 'to order to his obwiroing eternal salvo.

Lion. Thus the popish doetrihe elauricislar con-
fession, has as hole foundation here, as other of their.
(latrines have in other parts of Scripture.. From
this direction of the apostle, confess your faults,

Christians confessing all their sins to a priest,
that they may obtain his authoritative absolus

people into a blind subjeation to, and slavish depen-
dence .upon, the clergy ; by this means they have
enticed women to lewdness, and taught vice to the

to the direcoon of the.aposile, the 'same persons are

who, it) the next senlener,:ate ordered to pray one

to the people, tied desire their players-and absolu-
tion ; as v. eh as .the people to the plies', in order to
have his prayer and sbsolution ; fur,it is said, Con-
fess your faults one to another, and pray etre fur
atiotber.
Mr. Crnwlev makes some sensib:e observations
,on the listings ,and. abstitteYce prescribed by the!
church of Beaty, Oita he ,proires to be
wholly unwarranted by those. passages in. Scriptures, •
on which they are professedly founded. Indeed,
sse wonder, as the Papists are.so fond of eoeverting
inetaphotical into literal expressioes, that their •
priests should not imeose on them the duty of
washing their faces, and of anointing their heads,
fur which they have precisely thessme authority.
M to rasing fish notes(' of flesh," says Mr C.
" during 'Lem, :because, Christ are nothing at till ter
forty days,' our teeth, if indeed there be any merit
in the practice, must depend entitely eon our re-'
beehive tastes; tor 1 apprehend there are
.some ef
us, who hate at least as great a relish fur fish as for:
flesh, As to abstaMing twin flesh on .Fridays and
Saturdays (which, Observe, the Apostles do not say
one went abriut), the reason assigned for requiring
us to do so is le:Illy as silly as can well be conceiv-
ed. We ere told that we should abstain Irtim flesh
on those days, because our Saviour was crucified on
the first, and lay in the earth during the last. :Now

eating the flesh of buttocks, sheep. or swine, on the
day of his , crucifixion, I. am suite is would puzzle
Thomas Aquinas himself to prove to the satistac-
tion of any rational Christian." • That tast-
ing may be wholesome and-proper, from a
Christian motive, and for the Christian purpose
of bringtng the flesh under sUbje;:lion to the spirit,
is not to be dioreted, and the peattice,.aceordingly,
was enjoined by our Sasiour, and observed by the
primitisteChurch. , Nut so, however, the papish
abstinence from particular food., ,

of the fourth chapter of the first Epistle of. St. Paul
to Timothy, the apostle observes..--" Now the spi-
