we were conscious of having stood forth in the attitude of rebellion, but on a hope built upon man's native and cherished fitness for God's eternal presence and favor, which at once sweeps away the fear of eternal wrath, from every soul that has been brought under the protection of High Church ordinances. It is owing to this fact, we conceive, that Unitarianism has always made so little progress, in a community where High Church and Arminian principles, are prevalent. There is no demand for Unitarianism in such a community. Are any offended with that kind of preaching which shows man his utterly depraved and ruined condition, and which sends him for relief to an almighty Savior? they can find a refuge from such humbling and painful admonitions, under the soothing messages of those, who treat all their hearers as made "heirs of God" in baptism, and as needing only the steady culture of inherent grace, to prepare the soul for heaven. It is not, to any great extent, the speculative question of the Trinity, which makes men Unitarians: it is a settled disgust for the doctrine of man's entire want of holiness by nature, and his dependence on special and distinguishing grace for the renewal of the heart. Where these doctrines can be escaped on easier terms, few will find ment to become followers of Arius or Socinus. any induce

We have already intimated, that the foregoing remarks are applicable not to the Episcopal church as such, but to a portion of its members who have departed from the catholic principles, and selfabasing doctrines, of its original founders. Concerning this defection, many of the most pious and devoted members of that church, both in England and America, have publicly spoken in terms far stronger than any which we have used. Believing the principles in question to be unscriptural and dangerous, we cannot be expected to see them urged industriously on those of our own communion, without occasionally expressing our sentiments. But the present remarks, prepared as they were originally some months since, and at quite a distance, have no reference to any recent events or discussions, in the vicinity of their publication. They were made, we are well assured, with feelings of entire kindness towards those from whom the writer differs. It is against principles, and not men, that he has spoken; and our earnest prayer is, that all parties, on this subject, may feel with the excellent Hooker, that "ten words spoken in the spirit of meekness, are better than volumes of controversy."

The remarks of PROTESTANT or reply to the Biblical Repertory, are necessarily deferred to our next number.
