more than the character of a well.bred, humane, and

This, the Bishop said, should rouse them to the most

On the subject of attention to their Roman Catho'ii:
parishioners, his Lordship referred to the Setae pan.-
h% in which the anther says, ••• We have known

him to attend at Chinch, and having won his good will

would breathe the spirit and cultivate the feelings, and
Instil the doctrines, which are not of the Church of ling-
land, or of the Church of Rome partictlarly. but of the
Church of Christ."

'emphasis on a passage. which we believe we Ore ,0 7.

will do good; it will break the soil, and prepare it for

Let them have the written word of 60,1. This is new

pamphlet referred to) be opposed, but not always'; amt
