old mumpjlm^s for a new fumpfimus, T HAVE lately beguiled a winter's
and take up arms for the corr.mon X evening by reading an account of
good. It would be an honourable oc-
cupation, and keep them out of mif-
chief, and the rifle of perverting our
Protellant principles — ill juftihed by
the maxim that, "when minifters have
wei*;hty reafons for giving a preference
to their own fyftem, they ought to en-
deavour to make convertsvjn a prudent
and peaceable way." (See before,
p. 651). Bur, there are woife enemies
than thefe in the bofom of our own
Church : men who, having fwaitdwed
lYerK^reeds and Articles in order to
obtain her emoluments, are now try-
ing every method to diij^orge their ob-
jedtions ; and, inflead of fighting un-
der her banner, labour to leduce her
truer fubjefts to delert. If luch men
will net fight for her, let them defer t
at once, and take with them all v.ho
have the refolution to follow ihtm.
The numbers oa each fide will then be
fairly -known ; and, we truft, a good
conlcience and a good caul'e will oul-
vveigh numbers. There is yet another

For what are our lounging, drelfing,
