Dict. iv. 29. note F.-Ed. † The following liberal and conciliatory passage I find quoted in 1750, from Mr. Ollyffe's "Third Defence," (1706) pp. 131, 132. "We must needs say, after all, that we cannot but heartily wish, that our Governors would not continue to insist upon the use of, or exert their power in several of these things: but that, for the promoting of the public peace, and because of the different apprehensions that many pious and good men have thereof, they might be conceded to them. "One would think, that external indifferent modes and signs, that might be well spared, without any detriment to the religion, worship, discipline, or government established among us, should not be of that value, as to be retained in distracting circumstances. Religion is never advanced by being embodied in externals. It, then, only becomes a shibboleth and distinction; which those only have a zeal for, that have least of the vital flame of true love to God or man; which is the true spirit of Christianity, and which wise and good men only value."

"I thought I needed no more than to confirm the truth and certainty of the evidences for the text, which are produced by Dr. Mill, and to clear objections and difficulties, which the author of the Inquiry brings against them; and to show that the authorities and arguments for this text are of greater weight, to determine our judgment for its being genuine, than all the exceptions of the author are to prove it spurious. "After all, if I have given you any satisfaction, as to the main thing, and if these few papers might be any way serviceable to the establishing of the ous; and an explication of it, upon the supposition of its being genuine.

"To Mr. Calamy, at Mr. Warner's, upon the Long Bridge, Leyden.”— Ayscough MSS. 4275-71.

By Edmund Calamy, DD. (supra, p. 533.)* scribes as "a work of prodigious industry and labour, and which is alone sufficient to transmit the author's memory with honour to posterity; as it has supplied the learned world with a noble collection of memoirs, which otherwise, in all probability, had been dissipated and lost."-Biog. Brit. iii. 142. "In 1775, the Rev. Samuel Palmer published in two vols. 8vo. The Nonconformist's Memorial;' an abridgment, with corrections, additions, and new anecdotes, of Dr. Calamy's four volumes, concerning the ejected and silenced Ministers." Ibid. p. 145. Mr. Palmer, who died in 1813, (see "Monthly Repos." xiv. 65, 73,) had published in 1802, an improved edition, in 3 vols. 8vo.-ED. I have there incorrectly supposed this Sermon to have been in Latin. Four such were delivered in the spring 1732-1737, by Earle, Lowman, Burroughs, and George Smith. Six English Sermons were delivered in the autumn 1731,-1736, by Calamy, Bayes, W. Harris, Grosvenor, John Newman, and Neal. These ten discourses are in Dr. Williams's Library.—ED. THE END. LONDON: PRINTED BY SAMUEL BENTLEY, |
