per, by declaring so expressly that these accusations were unjust reproaches, invented to blast the memory of Austin, that "they were prodigious and blasphemous lies," that they objected to him impious and profane opinions, not one of which ever came into the heart of St. Austin," sufficiently shews that neither he nor St. Austin ever held any of those doctrines, and that he looked upon them as impious and profane opinions. See Dally, p. 856. Lastly. As for the article of the Saints' final perseverance, the Doctor had not the confidence to cite one Father for it, Vossins having so expressly told him, "that all antiquity impugned the indefectibility of the saints, and that they only could deny the contrary to be the common doctrine of antiquity, qui in antiquitate. plane sunt hospites, 'who are mere strangers to it.' (Hist. Pelag. 1. 6. p. 566.) Now from what hath been thus established, two. things do evidently follow, viz. 1. That all the members of the Church of England, are obliged, by the express precept of the Church of England, not to teach or propound to the people, as an article of faith, any of those doctrines which Dr. Edwards hath so zealously maintained in his late book upon these Five Articles, they being such as the Catholic Fathers and ancient Bishops did never gather from the holy scriptures. For that the generality of the Fathers taught the contrary to these doctrines from the holy scriptures, hath been fully proved. · 2. Whereas it hath hitherto been thought, and by the divines of the Church of England religiously maintained, and to have been the glory of the Church of England, that both in her doctrine and discipline she kept close to the sentiments of primitive antiquity: if these doctrines, which I have shewed to have been the common sentiments of the church of Christ, do contradict her avowed doctrines, it must be owned that in these doctrines she hath departed from the common sentiments of the best antiquity. o Imprimis vero videbunt (episcopi) ne quid unquam doceant pro concione (concionatores) quod a populo religiose teneri, et credi velint, nisi quod consentaneum sit doctrina veteris et novi testamenti; quodque ex illa ipsa doctrina catholici patres, et vcteres episcopi collegerint.

BY JAMES NICHOLS, LEEDS, AND SOLD BY OTHER BOOKSELLERS. Octavo, Price 1s. 6d. stitched. 1. The CHURCH OF ENGLAND DEFENDED, in a PREFACE to them that seek (as they term it) the Reformation of the Laws and Orders Ecclesiastical in the Church of England. By RICHARD HOOKER, A.M. Formerly Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and Author of "The Laws of ECCLESIASTICAL POLITY, &c." In Two Volumes, 8vo. with a Portrait of the Author, Price 12s. boards, 2. THE POETICAL WORKS of JOHN BYROM, M. A. F. R. S. Some time Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, &c. To which are added his Life and Notes by the Editor. "He had a strength of imagination that was capable, if fully exerted, of the boldest flights: he had also taste to embellish and refine the offsprings of his fancy; and to these qualities he added a happy facility of versification which has seldom been excelled. This lively and pleasing talent seems never to have forsaken him. He was also, in a singular degree, unambitious of distinction. He seems indeed to have written rather for amusement than for fame; and never to have stopped to correct or improve that which he did not subject of his own accord to the test of criticism." Monthly Review for Jan. 1816. 3. THE POETICAL WORKS of the late Rev. JOHN GAMBOLD, A. M. formerly Minister of Staunton Harcourt, Oxfordshire, and late one of the Bishops of the Unitas Fratrum, or United Brethren. To which is prefixed the Life of the Author, with an Account of Ignatius and Polycarp. Price 38. in boards, with a Portrait. Mr. Gamboid was a man of a fine imagination. An air of sensibility, and the traces of a refined soul, are visible in all his poetical compositions; and at once discover christian discernment, and the genuine spirit of poetry. The specimens here exhibited of his genius, are not, indeed, voluminous; but their attractive sweetness amply compensates for their paucity, and induces a regret, that he who was thus exquisitely qualified to succeed in the higher departments of poesy, should have left behind him but few specimens by which to appreciate his excellence. "The Martyrdom of St Ignatius," the chief piece in this collection, is a sacred drama of a high order. It appears to be capable of a little brighter polish in its style; but in this, as well as in the disposing of its parts, the author had an eye to what he regarded as the simplicity of the ancient drama. He has kept strictly to the relation of Facts contained in that fragment of early christian history, “the account of the Martyrdom of St. Ignatius." In one vol. 8vo. with a portrait of the Author, a new edition, 4. A KEY TO THE PROPHECIES, or a concise VIEW of the PREDICTIONS Contained in the OLD and NEW TESTAMENTS, which have been fulfilled, are now fulfilling, or are yet to be fulfilled in the latter Ages of the World.
