prevailing opinion that al
tho’ we ara to have two ad*
ditionaL members,, yet it
requires the interpolation
ol,this state by an ad or
resolution of the Legtfli

authenticity to the voting
for m ire than our farmer

appropriate clause, (viz.)

To tfft editor:
A Divine hot lon* Gnce
in .the hearing of a number,
of your readers, laid, in
the course of ha firman,
** T'Wt the firft clay of
itu i’s life being the favepth
from the creation of the
world, was the Sihbpith,
whicli was orderly obferv*
cd bv the anti dituoian peo
ple.” .
It his long Gace been ac
knowledged by divines,
tor feripture will not war
rant them in believing any
thing to the contrary, th'if
the days of the Patriarchs
were spent without the ob
fervaaoh of any day, as -a
tiivio: iajlir.iri'*'*. Nor
’ * ■ #
was there made toman any
institution bearing the flight*
elt relemblance to ietung
apart as holy, a periodical
portion of time, until the
palling of the children cf
lfreal through the wilder
nels. At tms time they,
were commanded to g idl
er a double portion oi’ rai’ ;
na on the morning of every
ftxth day, and to abHain
from any prdvifion of the
kind bn the seventh. Soon
after this, the Sabbath was
inliituted according to Vhe
fourth law cf tlic Mosaic
decalogue; ’
Thele inftitutionn. hap
pened many years after the
flopd.
IV e all Acknowledge,
that the seventh day from
the beginning of time, was
hakowed, aiid confecrat-.
ed for divine purpofeg,
But pointedly deny,
that fever It wars /? xiedly kept,
as ftcred. by mankind, du
ring that tpace of time
which elapsed before the
deluge ; nor for many years
alter. If the divine ip able
to lubflanthste hisalfartioos,
as true in this iullaitce, we
will give hun all the credit
of an original thinker; or
he mull certainly procure
aid from fbme caraaoltgifi
of whom no mao.; bntbun
fdf: has ever heard. This’
we do not think probable-

unequivocally and pererna.
tortiy gives the poor Jews
the lie 5 as well as all who
lived from the fettling of
Canaan to the refurredion
of Chrill. We believe the
divine arrogitecl
to himfelf. the knowledge
of things, entirely out of
the circle of hum, in know
ledge, and for this realon
we will not be f ofoo'ijh as
to aik him upon what he
grounded his calculations.
When We conlider that his
dtta were conceived in the
womb of JiippofUijn, we
can but believe his deduc

th* probability of error in
