oi. r a 7? Hunce, IT WOULD be pleafingtoeve rv benevolent heart, if the duty of the Clergy could be so conduced by itspro iefibrs a-; to preclude the needfity of inter ruption or reply. Providence, who knows ofcitancy of our zeal lias not afttd so j irtialiy ns to leave us no other than cleri i r.l correction, but has thickly incorpora t'd iour exift.mce, ufefui mementoes and admonitions and inch falutarv shocks as r-cnls us a>- every instant to feif recollec iion and fileut remorse. The operation id these correctives wiil ever be propor *;nned to the degree of principle inculcated in the mind bv early education, having therefore been taught to regard pulpit lec tures with that reverential awe infeperable from the contemplation of the great om uifeient; it becomes a source of corroding pain, when the enufe of religion is there a t' ’.doned and erroneous and pompous j’.inegyiic o.u a mm or a nation, flows from the lips of one to whom we look for an impartial vindication of “ the ways of G 'd to mm.” When 1 fee parochial dignity thus railed in rebellion against the feelings of every American, and against that government h affords equal protection to all its cbizens, I am tempted to repine at the diftinftion paid totheprofeffbrs ofreligion, rt.d almost regret the poflefGon of an in strument, so easily handled to our destruc tion. it would be stretching my thouglits over too wide r field at present, to colleft together the different affirmative qualifica tions neceflary to constitute the good cler gyman ; J therefore recommend that he jurnifha striking example of the tranfeen dant happiness of c hrifiianity, by a con duct dignified without ostentation, virtu ou; without feclnfion from the neceflarv enjoyments of life and a tula! rejc&ion of transatlantic prejudices.
