NOTICE OF The ANTI-DEIST: being a Vindication of the Bible, in answer to the publication called The Deist. Containing also a Refutation of The Erroneous Opinions held forth in The Age of Reason, and in a recent publication, entitled, Researches on Ancient Kingdoms. By JOHN BELLAMY. Author of the New Translation of the Bible, from the O riginal Hebrew. Pr. 2s. OUR readers will recollect that the controversy between Mr. Bellamy and his opponents respecting the Hebrew text was first carried on in the Classical Journal. But all was fair discussion, without personal invective. But he has lately been assailed by the weapons of bitter hostility, and nothing but his utter ruin seems to satisfy the wishes of his enemies. We are as far as any of them from assenting to every part of his Translation; but we must, in the spirit of candor and humanity, deprecate every attempt to injure his interest and his character. Let them strike at his arguments, but let them hear his defence. The present work is written, with the same intention of defending the Holy Scriptures against the artful insinuations of infidels. Some articles in his Vindication have been already published by other writers in the cause of truth and revelation. But many are either new, or placed in a new light. As the work is rapidly running through a third edition, we shall present our readers with only one extract. OBJECTION. "The DEIST brings two solemn charges against David when he was on his death-bed: the first is absolutely false as it stands in the authorised versions; the second is not true according to the Hebrew. He says, "But what shall we think of this Nero of the Hebrews, this man after God's own heart, this idol of the Christians, when we see him die in a manner uniform and consistent with the whole course of his life? What will be our reflections, when we find him with his last accents delivering two cruel and inhuman murders in charge to his son Solomon? murders, still farther aggravated by the included crimes of ingratitude and perjury! One of them to be executed on his old and faithful general Joab, who powerfully assisted him on all occasions, and who adhered to him in all his extremities, till the last, but who, notwithstanding, had not appeared in actual hostility against him, but only drank a glass of wine with the malcontents. His other charge was against Shimea, who reviled David at his retreat from Jerusalem, during his son AbsaTom's rebellion, but who made his submission when he returned victorious, and whose pardon David had sealed with a solemn oath." ANSWER. I will beg the attention of the reader to the included crime of ingratitude" toward Joab. In the first place, Joab had been guilty of the crime of murder; be had murdered two captains of the host who stood in the way of his glory, and thus "shed the |
