ADDENDA

ADDENDA ET CORRIGENDA.

GRAY is spoken of in the 69th page as a believer, and on the

307th page, as a deist. His character seems to have been
ambiguous. He was an ingenious, but whimsical man, yet a
poet of no ordinary rank.

The Methodists are mentioned in several parts of the fore-
going pages; particularly on the 77th there is a general account
of the state of their societies. I add here, that AIKINS in his
Tour through North Wales, page 148th, has paid that body of
people a very high compliment. Nor has Mr. PALEY done
less in his Evidences, vol. 1, page 38th, where he says," After
men became Christians, much of their time was spent in prayer
and devotion, in religious meetings, in celebrating the eucha-
rist, in conferences, in exhortations, in preaching, in an affec-
tionate intercourse with one another, and correspondence with
other societies. Perhaps their mode of life, in its form and
habit, was not very unlike the Unitas Fratrum, or of modern
Methodists."

Mr. CECIL, in his pleasing Memoirs of the honourable and
reverend W. B. CADOGAN, pp. 29-36, has given a pretty
fair account of this body of people, which is every where spoken
against, and has honestly and ably defended them from the ob-
loquy which is usually cast upon all seriously religious charac
ters by the world. The single circumstance, of their being ge
nerally, I might almost say universally, reviled and abused by
all other denominations of professing Christians, is to me a cer-
tain sign, that there is something peculiarly good and excellent
among them.
The criterion, whereby to judge, which our
SAVIOUR has given us, is, If ye were of the world, the world
would love his own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have
chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you, John xv. 19,
