ten with no ordinary talent, spirit, and controversial skill. In fact, in various instances these writers have left little of consequence to be added by their successors in more recent times, But they did not conceive that their principles laid them under any obligation to come out of the church. On the contrary, they even pretended to prove the agreement of Unitarians with the Catholic church; and availed themselves with great ingenuity of the controversy at that time prevailing between Sherlock and South, and their respective adherents, to shew that, while the former were no better than Tritheists, the latter, whom they represented as constituting a great majority, differed in nothing essential from the Unitarians; so that they themselves were to all intents and purposes good sound orthodox churchmen. In all this, it must be confessed that logical dexterity is much more conspicuous than honesty or consistency. If Mr. Biddle, to whom they sometimes profess to look up as their mas

And the bodies of believers being the temples of the Holy Ghost, (1 Cor. VI. 19,) are the temples of God, (1 Cor. III. 16, 17,) and yet, to us there is but one God, the Father, of Whom are all things, 1 Cor. VIII. 6. Mr. Peirce gave his creed in the following terms; I am not of the opinion of Sabellius, Arius, Socinus, or Sherlock. I believe there is but one God, and can be no more. I believe the Son and Holy Ghost to be divine persons, but subordinate to the Father; and the unity of God I think is to be resolved into the Father's being the fountain of the divinity of the Son and Spirit. Three others, when called on, denied the authority of the meeting to require of them an account of their faith, and positively refused to make any declaration; and Mr. Peirce, in the account he has left of these proceedings, expre
