This Theatre will be laid out on new
plan, and will consist Of Pit and Gallery
ouly /; and contrary to all others, the Gale
~ is fitted up for the reception OF people
of high Tor heavenly birth; and the Pit tor
low Cor earthly.l N. B. The Gallery is
very. spacious and the ri. without bottom
{ To prevent inconvenience there are sepa-
rate door. for admitting the company and
thew are SO different, that none can mis-
take that are not wilfully blind. The door
-hich opens into the Gallery is very mar
row. and The steps up to it appear some
wha, difficult; for whicL reason there are
seldom many people about it. But the door
giving entrance into the Pit, is very wide'
/. and seem. commodious which causes such
numbers to flock to it, that it is generally
crowded. N. B. The'straight door leads
towards the right hand, and the bread one

.inseIled coat and borrowed language to
personate one of high birth, in order to get
admittance into the upper places: tor there

dual: and all who are not savingly convert
ed. hut die in their sins and all who have
NOT learned tie language Of Canaan, and
al who cannot sing the song Of Moses and
the Lamb: all those who are not born a
gain, and taplised with the Holy Ghost; all
who have Aot received white stone and
a new name written therein, all these must
be turned 10 the left hand.
