"But (say you) vhen I heard you had turned your mind to a defence of infidelity, I felt myself much aflonifhed, &c." What, my good friend, do you call believing in God in- fidelity ? Vor that is the great point maintained in the Age ot Reason gainft all divided beliefs and allegorical divinities. 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 that work. " There is (says he) a philofo-phic- al sublimity in some of your,ideas when fpraking of the Creator of the UniverlV." What then (my much efleemed friend Tor 1 do not lefpedt you the less becauft we and that perhaps riot much in religious sentiments) what, I aflr, is this thing called infidelity? Is wc go back toy'ouranceftors and mine) three or sour alhundred years ago, tor we nluit have had, fathers and grandfathers we should not be here, we fhalPfind thdm praying 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 we back to times more antient ve ftiall again be infidels according to the belies some other forefathers. The case, my friend, is, that the World has been over-iu- n with sable and creeds of human invention, with fe&a-rie- s of whole hatiorts, against Dther na- tions', and sectaries of those fedanes in each of thent against 'erch other. sectary, except the quakers, has been perfefutor. Those who sled fiom per. lecution prrlecutep in their turn, and this confulion of creeds that has fil led the world with perftcution and de luged it with blood. Even the depitda-tio- n on your commerce by the Brbary powers, lprang trom the crulad.es ot the church anunlt those powers. It was a war,of crted against creed each boafl- - mr ot God tor its author, and revilinc each other withthe nams of infidel. Is do not 6elieve asyow believe, it proves that you, do not believe as I beheytf, & that is all that it proves. ThTe is howerer one point of union wherein all religions meet, and that is in the first article of every man's creed, & every nation's creed, that has any creed at all, I believe in God. THofe who rest her, andthereare millionswho cannot tye wrong, as fair as their creed goes. Those who chufe to go fur- ther maybiwrdng, for it is impoffible that all c?n be right since, there is so much contradiction among them. The Srft, therefore are in my opinion on the. fafe'C side. . I presume yob are. so far acquainted with ecclesiastical hiflory as to know, and thebillop whq has answered rne has been obliged to acknowledge the fact, that tie books which c5mpofe the New Teftame'nt were voted by Yeas & Nays roTjr the word of God you npw vote lav, by the pnpifh copncijs of Nice and Ladacia, about 1450 years ago, , With reject to the fact there is no difoute. neither do I mention it for the sake of tjuiruvcriy. 1 nis vote may appear au- thority enough to some, and not autho enough to others. It is proper how- - ver, that every body should know the fact. . f o With refpedt to the Age of Reason, which ypu so much condemn, and that I believe without having read" it, for you only that you heard of it, I will in- form you of acircumftsnee because you cannot kno,w it by other means. - I have faid.in the first pige ot the.firft of that Work, that it had longjb'een intention to publish my tho'ughttup-o- n religion, brit that I had reserved it'td later time of life.

It is not a secret that there has been a party composed the leaders of the federalifls, for I do not all federalifls with their leaders, who have been working by various means for several years pad, to overturn tedeial conltitution eitablifhed on the representative lyftem, and place go- vernment in the new woild on the cor- rupt system of the old. To accomplish this, a large (landing army was necefTa-r- y, and as a pretence tor luch an army, the digger of a foreign invalion must be bellbwtd forth, from the pulpit, from and by their orators. I am not of a difpolitton to suspicion. It '15 in its nature a mean & cowardly pafFion, and upon the whole, even admitting error into the case, it is I am lure it is more generous, to be wrong on the side of confidence, than on the side of fulpicion. But I know as a fact, that the Knglifh government distributes annually fifteen hundred pounds ftejling among the Prefbytenan ministers 111 England, and one thqufand among those of Ireland, and wheal hear of the strange discourses some of your ministers and profenors of colleges) I cannot, as the quakers say, find in iny acquit Their doctrines invite sus- picion even against one's will, and in fpitetif one's chanty to believe well of them. As you iiave triveh me one fcrinture phrase,! will give you anotherfor those rammers. It is said in Exodus, chapter 22, verse 2S, "Thoh (halt not revile " Gods, cuife ihe ruler of thy ' people'." But those "such I mean as dr. Emmons, curse ruler and both, for the are, pbliti tne peopie it is tliole Who have chbfen the ruler wjioiii they curse.

" Uo we want to contemplate his powi-- r ? Ve see it in the immensity the creation. Uo we. want to contem- plate his ?

We see it in hU not abundance even from the unthankful." , As I am sully with in your first pirt, ftiat refpecticg the Deity, so am I in your second, that of universal philan- thropy ; by which I do not mean mere- ly the fentimenta! benevolence of wish. ing well, but the practical benevolence of We cannot serve the in the manner we serve ttinfe who mnnnr do w "that service,' He, needs no service from us.

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

The case, my friend, is, that theWorld has been over-iu-n with sable andcreeds of human invention, with fe&a-rie- s

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

much contradiction among them. TheSrft, therefore are in my opinion onthe. fafe'C side. .
