tedI now come to the second part of your
letter, on which I lhall be as frank withyou as you are with'mc. "But (say you)vhen I heard you had turned your mindto a defence of infidelity, I felt myselfmuch aflonifhed, &c." What, my goodfriend, do you call believing in God in-
fidelity ? Vor that is the great pointmaintained in the Age ot Reasongainft all divided beliefs and allegoricaldivinities. The bishop of Landaff, (dr.Watson) not only acknowledges this,but pays rue some compliments upon itH
h!3 anlwer to the lecond part of thatwork. " There is (says he) a philofo-phic- al
sublimity in some of your,ideaswhen fpraking of the Creator of theUniverlV."
What then (my much efleemed friendTor 1 do not lefpedt you the less becauftwe and that perhaps riot much inreligious sentiments) what, I aflr, is thisthing called infidelity? Is wc go backtoy'ouranceftors and mine) three or sour
alhundred years ago, tor we nluit havehad, fathers and grandfathers weshould not be here, we fhalPfind thdmpraying to saints and virgins, and believ-
ing in purgatory and traiifubftantiation,and therefore all of us are infidels ac-
cording to our forf fathers belies. Is weback to times more antient ve ftiall
again be infidels according to the beliessome other forefathers.
The case, my friend, is, that theWorld has been over-iu-n with sable andcreeds of human invention, with fe&a-rie- s
of whole hatiorts, against Dther na-
tions', and sectaries of those fedanes ineach of thent against 'erch other.
sectary, except the quakers, has beenperfefutor. Those who sled fiom per.
lecution prrlecutep in their turn, andthis confulion of creeds that has fil
led the world with perftcution and deluged it with blood. Even the depitda-tio- n
on your commerce by the Brbarypowers, lprang trom the crulad.es ot thechurch anunlt those powers. It was awar,of crted against creed each boafl- -
mr ot God tor its author, and revilinceach other withthe nams of infidel. Is
do not 6elieve asyow believe, it provesthat you, do not believe as I beheytf, &that is all that it proves.
ThTe is howerer one point of unionwherein all religions meet, and that is inthe first article of every man's creed, &
every nation's creed, that has anycreed at all, I believe in God. THofewho rest her, andthereare millionswho
cannot tye wrong, as fair as theircreed goes. Those who chufe to go fur-ther maybiwrdng, for it is impoffiblethat all c?n be right since, there is so
much contradiction among them. TheSrft, therefore are in my opinion onthe. fafe'C side. .
I presume yob are. so far acquaintedwith ecclesiastical hiflory as to know, andthebillop whq has answered rne hasbeen obliged to acknowledge the fact,that tie books which c5mpofe the NewTeftame'nt were voted by Yeas & NaysroTjr the word of God you npw vote

As you iiave triveh me one fcrinturephrase,! will give you anotherfor thoserammers. It is said in Exodus, chapter22, verse 2S, "Thoh (halt not revile" Gods, cuife ihe ruler of thy' people'." But those "such Imean as dr. Emmons, curse ruler and
