Printed for the EDITORS; and Published by ALEX. HOGG, No. 16, Paternofter-Rowj by whom Letters to the EDITORS, Poft paid, are received.

UMBER XII. for the enfuing Month, among a variety of other inftructive and enWells, embellished with an elegant portrait of his Lordship.-Alfo a celebrated Pfalm tune, as fung at the Magdalen and Foundling Chapels, and set by an eminent mufic master.

A Paraphrafe on the Firft Article of the Church of England is received, as are also the fa vours of a new Correfpondent I. C. P.; Georgius; James Watson; A. B.; Verax; Z. C; Amevicanus; Granville; Origin; R. Knowles; A Chriftian Barber of Barbican; B. Wilkins; Pacifcus; and twenty-feven poetical pieces with different fignatures; each of which, if ade miffible, thall appear in turn without delay.

The Verfes referred to in an introductory letter from James Coates, which letter is received have not come to our hands.

We are much difpofed to ferve H. J. or H. T. yet cannot in the way he defires. A litele reflection will convince this Correfpondent that his Acroftic Epiftle is not adapted to the Chriftian's Magazine: but if he will turn his thoughts to a fubject of a ferious nature, we are ready to give proof of our willingness to oblige him; and in our opinion, by doing this, he will be more likely to be happy in the returned kindefs of Mifs W-l-f-d.

Mr. R. Nu will be pleafed to accept of our thanks for his information refpecting the miftake of one of our Reviewers. The price of Mr. Wibaw's, 2 vols. of Sermons is 85. fowed.

The gentleman of Cardiganshire, whofe letter is dated May 31ft, requesting-an Effay on the great fin of Sacrilege fhall be particularly attended to.

If W. H. will acquaint us with article and page in the review of which he fpeaks in his letter, dated May the 30th, we will endeavour to comply with his withes,

Queries from Verax thall be inferted the first opportunity. We do not recollect to have Leen his fignature before; but it is not in our power, at present, to determine any thing abouṛ the Pfalm fet to mufic; the fame we are obliged to fay to Z. C. whom we have before particularly noticed in our anfwers to Correfpondents.

[ocr errors]

Having been charged, in the courfe of last month, with the expence of fome letters from diftant parts, we are under the neceffity of reminding our Correfpondents of the late new act, which has augmented the poftage of Letters above eighty miles; and we beg leave to obferve, that, for the future, no favours will be in the least noticed, which come not to us agreeable to ancient and modern ufage, PoST PAID.

INDIGNATUS, from whom we have been favoured with a very long Epistle, is not to be blam'd, for ftanding forth in defence of his friend; yet we cannot approve of his stile and fpirit. Ira brevis furor eft. We are not refponfible for the unguarded expreffions of our correfpondents, in whofe copies, unlefs defired, we prefume not to make the least alteration: but,on the other hand, Indignatus fhould not render railing forfrailing, "Anger, as is obferved above, is a fhort madness," and will not ferve a friend, or any caufe. The writer of this article is as well acquainted with, and no lefs a friend to Dr. Prieftly, than Indignatus can be; and he is certain the ftrictures of our Reviewer upon the Doctor's corruptions of Christianity, will not in the least affect his benevolent feelings. Dr. Priefly is, equally with ourselves, friend to religious liberty; he cannot therefore be offended at our combating his private api nions, and not admitting them into that Repository of Divine Knowledge, which will teadily maintain, defend, and preferve, as a moft facred trust, the fundamental doctrines of the Church of England, well known to be founded upon Trinitarian principles. But fhould the language of Chriftian have really offended Indignatus, he muft anfwer him through fome Other channel; for we muft decline a conteft which common fenfe will tell that enraged Gentleman, can neither be agreeable to ourselves, nor entertaining to our readers.

On the 16th of laft Month was published, (Price only Six-Pence.) The SUPPLEMENT

to VOL. I.

Embellished with an excellent PORTRAIT of the celebrated BISHOP BEVERIDGE, and alfo a fine Head of that ornament of Chriftianity, Sir MATTHEW HALE, Lord Chief Juftice of England :And containing a variety of pieces, in Profe and Verfe, too numerous mention,
