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, &

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