tro THE EDITOR OF TEE STAR.

Siot—lt gives me great pleafure to find by your
paper of Saturday latt that a Bill is now before Par-
liament more effeaually to enforce the relidence
of the Clergy. We have not feen our Vicar Mice
he came to take potfeffion of the living about fix-
teen years ago, although here is a good parfonage
houfe, and about fifty acres of very fine rich land,
pleafantly fituated. The houfe and garden is let,
to.one man, and the lands to another, notwith-
handing the Curate, who ir one e the kit of mm,
and has a fmall property of his own, has fre-
quently expreffed a wills to have both on fair
terms. The value of the living is nearly 2001. per
annum, out of which the Curate is now paid 301.
for double duty every Sunday in the year, befides
holidays and occaGonal duty. The prefent Gen-
tleman has been Curate about ten years, during
which time he has generally faid grace at my ta-
ble on Sundays. When he aril had the curacy,
his (Upend was only 251. On the palling of the
Lift Curate's Bill he applied to his Vicar for an
increafe of fa/arv, but this was refufed. He then
applied to the liifhop, who, licenfed him to the
Church at 301. This gave offence to the Vicar,
which, when the Bilhop (who is more willing, if
we may judge by appearances, to be thought well of
by the richer than the poorer Clergy) found out,
I believe he left off interfering at all between the
incumbents of his diocefe and their Curates.
My reafons, Sir, for troubling you with the
above faits, are in hopes that you will think them
worth a place in your ufeful Paper, in order that
they may be made more public ' • (fhould other
Journals copy them from your's fo much the bet-
, ter)---which, perhaps, may fwmA, a hint to the
Legiflature in framing the bilrthat is about to be
paffed into a law.
It appears to me, that when the refidence of
any Reftor or Vicar is difpenfed with, the Legif-
lature would do well to fix what portion of the
profits of the living fhould belong to the officiating
Minifler. If this is not done by the bill about to
be pa (fed, but left Rill in the bands of the Bi(hop,
I am perfuaded very little good will ante to the
inferior Clergy. • CONSTANT READER.

PUBLIC PRATER for the NEW CENTURT,

WHICH HAS BEEN ORDERED ST THE REGENCY OF
HANOVER. TO DE READ IN ♦LL THE CHURCHES,
ETC. IN THAT ELECTORATE.

Impreffed with the warmeft fentiments of devo-
tion, we lift up our hearts to thee, the infinite and
everlafting GOD, far exalted above all change or
fbadow of turning.
We are deeply penetrated with fthe recolleCtion
of the countlefs mercies we have experienced, and
'with which thy benevolence has bleffed the whole
world, our country, and our father, during the loft
age..—Thine is the prefervation and furtherance of
the true faith. Expofed to fo many (harms which
threatened to weaken its efficacy upon the minds
of men, thou only has preferved its powerful and
Caving influence upon the hearts of its votaries,
for the increafe of their virtue and the common
good ; and thy power alone has glorified itfelf in
bleffing all thole who confefs the faith.
`Co thee we impute the amelioration of man-
kind, fo manila throughout the whole mat's as
approximating towards that goal, which fooner
or later, in the prefent 4icceeding centuries thou
has determined it (hall attain unto.
To thy Welling. we owe the happy advances of
the German Continent in the genuine formation of
the human mind, particularly that part of it we
call our country ; and alfo that fincerity of devo-
tion, thofe civil and domestic virtues, and thankful
contentment, by which means the efteem of our
happy conftitution has been promoted, and the
Came preferved.
Particularly thankful are we in the remembrance
of the three paternal and truly upright Regents
with which we have been bleffed in the course of
Vie fall century, and the particular benefits derived
by our country from their wife and impartial ad-
miniftration of affairs. For themfclves, therefore,
and the bleffings they have procured fOr ii, we
thank thee as the only Gyms of all goad.
To thy bounty we afcribe the eitablifbment and
the continuation of fo many well-endowed public
foundations.—To thee is due the acknowledge-
ments from all ranks of youth and thofe of mature
age, for the numerous occafions that offer for their
improvement, and the perfeCtion of the heart and
mind. From thee the diligent meet their reward,
and the grateful alleviation of the labours, of all
thofe who are &Clive in their vocation, with the
affurance, and the increafc of the good things of
life. Through thee the orphan, and the needy arc
preferved from want, and anticipate from thy
bounties, their future enjoyments. To thee we
owe our being, and all we polies; life and health,
*very faculty and power of our minds by which we
appreciate any wholefome truth, or acknowledge
and aka any known good.—All our bell views;
all the focial virtues; all that promotes our common
comforts and the Cum total of all good, all the pro-
(peas of the new century which we promife our-
taws ; all, are wifely bound and find their reward
in the performance of our known duties.
LORD, thou haft done wonderfully for us, we
are not worthy of the leaft of thy mercies.
Thy
_paternal love under all the changes thou
haft fuffered in thy wife providence, bath Bill con-
cluded and proteded us. Even under the fiery trial
of the licentioufnefs of the late times, our minds
have been tried and exercifed, and our virtues
flrengthened and exalted. Under all there trials,
tbou-hall 'till remained our molt tender father.
It is there paft mercies that encreate our confi-
dence in the future. Thou can't not ; thou will
not hereafter forfake us. The world hill groans
under trouble and affliftion,fnfficient to move every
one fympathiring with the fate of mankind. But
thou wilt put the wifhed-for peried to the evils of
this long and bloody war. Thy providence will
introduce happier times and circiimftances more
aufpicious, and under thy difpenfatien the Sun of
Rightcovfacfs Shall aria with healing is his r,

and then wilt bind ip the wounds of long fuller..
lag humanity.
Accept our molt humble prayers for the happy
return of a general peace, that devaftation, and
the (bedding of human blood may mil longer con-
tinue ; but may the inhabitants, of all the earth
again enjoy thy bleffings.
Grant, gracious GOD that religion and virtue
may ever dwell in our land—righteoufnefs and fide-
lity ; authority and obedience ever unite. Let us,
and our children,ever have the molt lively fenfe that
lin deftroyeth a people, and that righteoufnefs only
exalted' a nation; that godlinefs it the molt weighty
concern of our lives, and the molt certain means
of advancing the public and domeftic happinefs,
and that which alone can cull"' e the welfare both
of nations and individuals.
Let all who are in authority meet their reward
in the adminiftration of their government with
wifdom, righteoufnefs, and mercy. Let the efta-
bliffiments of churches, public fchools, and every.
ufeful inftitution, remain Inviolate, and let every
fotmdation for the propagation of religion and mo-
rality, increafe and extend their benefits.
With returning peace bring back the welfare and
content of all orders of mankind, and that fatisfac-
tion which ever attends upon integrity of heart ;
but let the righteous, in particular, in whom thou
art peculiarly manifeficd, receive the bleflings of
peace with joy unfpeakable.
In faith we refign ourfelves and all our expec-
tations into thy hands. Thou wilt do all things
well. Full of confidence, we commend to thee,
Loan of Lords, and KING of Kings, our general,
beloved, and honoured Sovereign. Already haft
thou (hewn thy gracious and almighty proteftion
of his facred person under many dangers that have
threatened his valuable life. Long continue to
blefs him, and all that are put in authority under
him. Him who loves us as a father give him
peace and length of days, and vifit him every
morning with thy goodnefs.
Glorify thy truth in him and his royal contort,
the faithful fharer of all his joys and forrows.—
Let her long (pine as an example of a connubial
union the molt propitious, that ever graced a
throne, and may their example create an emula-
tion in all ranks and conditions of men. Biers the
Prince and the Princefs of Wales, and may their
fuceeffors enfizre a bleffiog to our late ft pofterity.
All the reft of the princes and prineeffes of the
royal houfe we commend to thy molt fatherly
proteftion. Be with them all, and let them be in-
heritors of the fhining qualities, the public and
domcltic virtues of their royal parents—And may
this precious inheritance be preferred in the royal
houfe, and its bleffings handed down to the Jateft
pofterity.
To thy fatherly protettion and conduct we re-
commend the fupreme council to which the go-
vernment of this country is committed, and all
thole aaing in authority under them.—Blefs their
wife, upright, and aaive exertions for the public
welfare with the happieft confequences, and the
molt undubitable proofs that thou halt made them
thy agents for the good of the country, and that
thou has chofen them for the initruments of thy
goodnefs to us and our children.
Oh thou who ruleft the world with infinite wif-
dom and evcrlafting love, thou can'ft and wilt hear
our prayers, and grant our humble petitions for
CHRIST'S fake. Amen.
