 United Btates.to the Bisbopa ; but there 
 •re speoial reasons why I cannot do so, 
 and ibase are manifssted in tbe thoughts 
 whiob 1 here attempt to convey* 
 
 The conplexion of tbo times is such 
 M Bishop Hall foresaw when he p^n^ed 
 theee lines, "There needs no prophetical 
 spirit to disosm by a small cloud that 
 there is a siorm coming towar^ our 
 Ohuroh ; such a ono as sh«ll^^i(ot Only 
 drench our plumes but shake our 
 peaoe,already do we see the sky thicken, 
 and hear the winds whistle hollon' afar 
 off, and feel all the presages of a 
 lampett. I see every msn ready lo 
 r*nk himself unto a side, and to draw 
 in tho quarrel ho affeoteth. t see no 
 man thrusting himsolf bntweei. them, 
 •ad tilhor holding or joiAing ihAr

 thankless, oftce, I have here boldly 
 undertaken, ahowing how unjnslly W%^ 
 are divided, and by what means wt , 
 may be made and kept entire. Let U 
 
 be no dls|ianigmfnl lo m InimrUnl 
 
 a mtition thitt it falls from %o nimin a 
 band" 
 
 When we find DiNhops, and thoos > 
 who would be Bisho|Mi of tbe Ohuroh, 
 ranking themseivea in hostile array 
 "unto a tid« and draw in tA« quarral 
 wKieh ia going on," and has been raging ' 
 for these forty years 'past, when wo ' 
 find amongst thom and other preebytera ' ' 
 of the Ohurch a determination to throw _ 
 off the principles oi the Reformers and 
 lay aside the Scriptural character of tbo . 
 Articles of the Churchy «> When we find 
 such mon as "TKuroro^' and <7i/m> 
 oomfrs" wrangling and coming to an ^ 
 open contention through the publio 
 prees as to what doctrines tbe Churoh - 
 does or does nol teachj When we ose • 
 Presbyter of the Ohuroh openly declare . 
 it he could be convinced that the 
 Ohuf oh holds the dodcrine of Baptismal 
 Rsgeneration, he would leAve hor polo 
 and ministry forever, and then when 
 shown incontestible proof of it which 
 no candid mind oould resist, ineoastimlly ,
