Melt together in large earthen pipkin,
two pounds and an half of common pitch,
and half pound Of turpentine when they
are melted, put in three quarters of an ounce
of powder of aoes, Rir them all together, and
then fet the matter on FIRE when il has
famed moment, cover it up clole, and it
will 90 out, then melt it well, and fire il again
in the fame manner This muif be done
three times it muf be done in the open
air, for it would 6ie houle /; and there
mulf be cover for the pipkin ready. After
it has burnt the lat time, melt it again, and
put in three ounces of yellow wax, fired very
thin, and fix drains of maifick, in powder. -
Let it all melt together until it is perfectly
well mixed, then train it through coarGe
cloth into pan, and fet it by TO cool.
I" When this is to be ufed, piece of il
muh be broke of, and fet over very gentle
fire, in a fnall pipkin: Il muf fand until
it is foft enough to fpread upon the part of
the cutting where it is wanted, but it mutt
not be very hot. Il is the quality of this
drefing to keep out wet entirely. The part
which is covered with it will never decay,
while there is any principle of life in the ref |;
and this being fecured, nature will do the
buGneIs of growing. This | have found

:" An American epifcopate is cestanly
wanted, land if we have not virtue and lenGe
of religion enough to. caabliih one, it may
be apprehended that, our chailifement may,
by the fecrst conduit of Gods providence
and grace, turn to your fpiritual advantage !;
and our civil feuds, diiiEeiles and emigrations,
hereafter fupply your wants in this particular.
With NE however, doubt not but you will
readily join in .carneh wilhes that heaven
may avert the judgments we juRly deferve,
and that the rcdFeis Of your grievances may
not req on this precarious iaue. There is
rea(on to think youl cafe will not be taken
into confederation the iubject indeed was
dropped during the hea, of our late party rage,
but is now more talked of than evcr.., Ii is
the opinion Of many, tibet tending bfhops to

coed policy, as we'll as of juHce and ,pie,y.
rhefe you may be alfred ire the fcnt;mcnts
of feveral leading, judicious men here, Of
fome in the nIniRrv, and ofo,hers who have
no connection with them. You do me but
jufice when you iuppole that | heartily with
fucce!s to your endeavours for procuring an
Epifcepate. Hook upon i, as the want of an
eilental aud cannot conceive how any
peffon who is friend to religious libcr-
ty, can oppofe your ichcme, when the BIZ
fhops you defire are not to be vcfed with any
temporal powers, but with fuch only as are
fpiritual. Biihops of this fort can make no
innovations in civil matters, nor can they
politely interfere with, or endanger the rell-
gious rights or privileges of others and it
will be found very difficult to afign any
good reafon, why the national church fhould
not have that full federation which all other
denominations are INDUCED with in the plan
tations, and thereby be raifed to an equality
with them. You have my bef wilhes in
this affair, which 70 nearly concerns the well
fare of the church of God nor fhall my en-
deayours be wantingto fecond yours, when
they can be lerviceable."

By Capt. Coffin from Nantucket, we

noop Paoli, belonging to Mr.. Gerrilh of Ha-
lifax, commanded by Capt. DaiIap. The

fouls on board, and on the 9Th in terrible
fnow form, it being very thick, hc ran a.
lhore on Nantucket, and ftove to pieces.
the mater, and mate named AmosO Dts, were
both drowned; but their bodies were after
wards taken up, and decently inferred in one
grave. One Cokran, paGenger, having a
great quantity ofmoney with him, was iiiIl
miaing, and thought to be drowned. The
other eight perfons got fate alhore.

that dureis is over, the acton can be recalled
The law iyppoies, though the peffpn con

feverely felt through every pat of the Brinlh

The FUN of the whole argument is this,
it is a maxim ehential to the exiilence Of

OF the EngIih contribution, as we have col

That thefe initructions are thus illegal,

Some rays beam through the rubbiih that
iurround them, and fparkle amid the ruins
of freedom. To allude to a great writer,
IS the fame Fill burns, though the altar has
crumbled to pieces. Even UIPiaD, famous
writer on the imperial laws, though bred in
high notions of prerogative, has yet declared,
&c IF prince fets about any public work, it

Lib. 5. fec. z. Hadrian and Alexander Sc
verus, both writers on the fame fubjeGf, are
of this opinion. The latter in explaining
the Lex Regia, which it is faid, initiates di-
re6y with the doctrine we are upon, has
rhelc words, "M;bil tam k|sntialis eff impsrii
guam kgi5Gs gabera4rt." Nothing is 70
eaential TO prince as to govern by law"
Lib. 4. Before | quit this mead, | cannot
help tranfcribing paGage from MIR. Selden,
relative to this point. See p. II. "Ouc may
ooferve, fays he, very plainly by the fIag-
ment of the Lex Rtgia, which we have, that
the people of Rome did not pretend TO au-
