Peculiar considerations have induced US TO
insert the communication Of x. r. I; while
at tho same time We deprecsie becoming en-
guged in theological dispute with amy sect
or denomination. We believe that many tru
ly good people may be found in every branch
of the protestant church. Andj.we strongly
fear. that all sects:. embrace some who arc
shrouded in hypocrisy, and actuated in their
profession by unholy motives. This truth
.hould teach charity of Judgement TO every
one. TX Y says in. objection to the ex-

this time, been tho admiration Of all scern
ing persons throughout succession of many
ages. The bible, for instance, TO say nothing
of the Greek and Roman classics, will suffer

MR RANDALL,
That such absurd ideas in theology
as is contained in "QuaIle's Emblems'
published in the Star of27lh ult.should
haze obtained in the darker ages Of
King Charles 1. uf England, is not
strange but that you should have an
Z" esteemed friend III Bristol" Who
wishing TO give "a correct, touching
and impressive view of some Of The
leading features Of the plan Of redempt
ION )" and who to effect that object
should procure the republication Of
said emblem in this more enlightened
age, TO your humble servant is passing
strange The first ilea which pre-.
.ents itself worthy Of notice. is that
God is filled with wrath toward the
sinner, determined to be satisfied with
nothing short ofvengeance. And jus.
ticc IS introduced into The scene with
her uphfted sword ready 10 strike the
fatal bluw, but with this wise precas- :
ton. his eyes blinded for who could
believe that justice could b. induced
to plunge her weapon in,o the bosom
ofhim in whose mouth was never found
guile except he was blind ? 1t is cen.
fessed that there are in that best Of
books, to wit, the bible, words meta
phoricaIIy used, which represent God
as being angry with the sinner evely
day. 'ees ft9.J
But that such expressions are not to
be taken in tLeir literal sense, UPON
the least Investigation is obvious I; for
|. 10 said his tender mercies are over
all his works. John in his first epis
tie, says IN this was manifest the lous
Of God towards us &c. Aud the whole
Tenor of.he scriptures represents Him
