'were a sett, to `sera] every where spoken against
(xxviii. tn. -ne tenets of any sect might be
or bad,; 'their quality could' only be gathered Cndt
something else coupled with the term lactate. In this
way it was employed by the Orator TERTULLUS,
when pleading against PAUL before FItLIX, (Acts
xriv. 5.) " %% re have found (his man a ringleader of
. the sect [ali:tat:of] of the Nasarenes." The crime
charged was not that he was a sectarian, but that he
belonged to what was deemed a dangerous sect—the
Nazarenes ; and therefore, PAUL admits in his an-
swer (v. 14.) that he was a sectarian, $ but denies
that he maintained tenets contrary to the toleration
granted by the Romans to the Jews, since he wor-
shipped the Goo of his fathers, believing all things
written in the law and the Prophets. An argument
which would be as convincing with FEux as that of
PAUL'S accusers ; for he could not fail to consider
them both as equally superstitious, and, as a Roman
Magistrate, he was bound to ,give equal protection
to all sects among the Jews, whether old or new, if
not daugei ous to the State. ii
These is one passage in Prrint's second Epistle
(IL, L) in which, according to the common English
.talon, the word appears to be employed to express
gross errors—" There shall be false teachers among you
who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying
the LORD that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift
ekstruction," but in the original the censure is not im-
plied in the word alfEtrEicT, but is applied to those
men who should be so wicked as to make divisions
in opposition to that love and unity enjoined to
all the followers of Jesus, teaching doctrines subver-
sive of that faith which he and his Apostles taught.
A maker of parties is a heretic in the 'scripture sense
of the word. Christians are admonished to be on
their guard against all such, and not to,sufferthern
to remain in their fellowship. " d mat, shat is an &-
retie [ai,o. /row col fccroy] after theirst lagui wad adina
nition Tett, knowing that he that is such, it saiticitCdaiegi
sinneth, being condemned of himself."—(Tit. lii. 1,13, U).
Schism and heresy, standing opposed to that hive
and unity j 8 strenuously enjoined to the ,belieteers,
'and being marked as crimes of great enormity, it
is no wonder that those who paid proper deference to
the authority of the Apostles should have been ex-
tremely fearful of falling into them. Those bishops
who sought to make a property qt their parish, did
not fail to turn this to their pwa advantage.--
« What ! separate from the communion of your
bishop's chnrch, under pretence of cqnvenience—lt is
schism even to propose it—To db it is kap." Such
was the kind of arguments employed to lament die
formation of new congregations within the 064841
bounds of parishes already established. The presid-
ing Presbyters haying made themselves =a iivAafir,
to the exclusion of the rest, it now became fashionable
to tal)c in the following manner : " GOD is °ay Ostitiss
is one, t 1 chiwch is one, the seat [xx9elpa now appro-
priated to the bishop] is one, the rock on which the
church u founded is one. To set up a new altar,l
and make a new bishop, besides the oNg ALTAR
and the ONE BISHOP, is impossible ; •WhOsa-
ever gathers together elsewhere [than with the
one bishop] scatters ; it is adulterous, it is impious,
and contrary to the divine disposition.(a) " Obey your
bishop as JEWS CHeor did the F.tviste, and the Presby-
tery as the Apo; tles."(b) "iffy soul be security for theirs
that obey their bishops, presbyters, and deacons." (c) " The
more silent any one finds his bishop, let him reve-
rence him the more ! I for whomsoever the master of

the house receives into his own household, we ought
to receive as him that sent him. It is therefore
evi-
dent, that we ought to look :lion the bishop even as we
would do upon the Lord hinuelf."(d)
If any opposer of the unchristian encroachments of
the Bishops, counting it his duty to obey GOD rather
than men,dared to turn a deaf ear to this perversion of
words, and presumed to call ihe attention of his bre-
thren to the Scriptures of truth, as the only rule to
guide their conduct, he then became a sower of dis-
cord among brethren—a perverter of the order
of the house of Gon--an enemy of the peace of
account of the Jewish rich, conforming to the heathen notions of
the term, considers them as parties attached to diferent systems
of thi/./.phy. Epiphanius, a Christian writer of the • 4th cen-
tury, reckons among the Jan [slp:rsi] which arose in Greece before
the coming of CHRIST, the Stoics, the Platonist., the Epicureans
and the Pythagoreans. lie even numbers Judaism, which he yet
acknowledges to have been derived from Goa—among the origi-
nal heresies, which he could not have done had be used the word
in its modern acceptation.

t " After the way which they call Atm.', My Myr,iv awn, ss war.
AO I tke God of soy father.." The propriety of the Apostles plead-
ing cannot be seen in the English version, in which the same
word is rendered differently in the accusation and in the answer
of the prisoner,
II The Jewish Religion had not only received the sanction of
the civil powers for the continuance of its establishment in Judea,
but a toleration in other parts of the Empire. The Apostle,
therefore, employed the best possible argument to silence his ac-
cusers, for Felix knew that the Jews consisted of various stets or
parties, and that their different sects no way destroyed the privi-
leges secured to them by the Roman Laws. They had the Pha-
risees, the &adman, the Saasaritans, the Essenee—and Paul waia-
tains that the Nasarenrs, the new sect, were entitled to the same
protection as the others, since they held the doctrines taught by
Moses and the Prophets, and, which was of more importance in
the eye of a Roman Magistrate, walked without offince toward Goa
end toward won.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

THE Advantage the Public mast always derive
-h• from regularly educated professional men directing almost
exclusively their studies to one species of nialadyons novernicre
clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success width Las
attended the administration of their neyr rt•medy, and theettraors•
dinary trues It has performed. Poe along seriesof part, Messrs.
Crams and Co. Surgeons, iormeriyirt his bilajetig's service; have
made the Venereal Disease the partleolax object 'of their hives*
Tation, and are happy in having disoovered a medicine superior to
mercury in the cure of that comislalnt.; kis sdfficlent to obserre
that the -effects of this remedy sire diametrically opposite tallow
of mercury, for though it minplately eradicates every vestige of
the virus, in Its must qoallemsakstegeo,•yee it doe, not in theleast
injure the constitutice ; on the contrary, it eaovates the system
kr all its mutual functions, promotes appetite, .sad facilitates di-
gestion : thus instead of reducing a strong and -vigorous COlllttittl.-
uoti to the frightful condition that mercury does, tt not only pre.
serves that constitution in its primitive state, butiestores a weak
and debilitated one to hat amoral strength and vigour. Number.
less instances are on recent record of the superior efficacy of this
medicine, its inherent and specific virtues acting as a perpetual
corrective to bodily debility, whether. proceeding Irma ita este*
of cooppl or illicit pleasure, or from the more *idiom, though
not km destructive, indulgence of inemitioas youth of both sexes
in a certain pernicious habit. Amidst the melancholy variety of
disorders which arethe consequence adds solitary vice, there ate
sane mere sidlictiag than that distressing state of debility sod de-
fielency which prevents or embitters the mucisenial state; the
unhappy sufferer broods over his misfocteno, athamod to seek re-
lief, until he is reduced to such a sate of weakness as to render
life oppressive. To such persons it Omit be i consoling reflec-
tion to know, that they may sow, bY a sew Infallible mode of
