'The generation of the modern worldly Dissenter was thus:-Presbyterian, Arian, Socinian, and last, Unitarian. "Is it not most extraordinary to see the Dissenters calling themselves the descendants of the old nonconformists, and yet clamouring for a divorce of Church and State? Why-Baxter, and the other great leaders, would have thought a man an atheist who had proposed such a thing. They were rather for merging the state in the church. But these our modern gentlemen, who are blinded by political passion, give the kiss of alliance to the harlot of Rome, and walk arm in arm with those who deny the God that redeemed them, if so they may but wreak their insane antipathies on the national church! Well! I suppose they have counted the cost, and know what it is they would have, and can keep." ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. Name. ORDINATIONS.
