S., for about two years; and at length G. S. received an anonymous book, being an attempt to set aside the two first chapters of St. Matthew's Gospel, (from whence the evidence was principally drawn which confuted the Doctor's former work). G. S. was too much engaged at that time to undertake an answer to this; but two very able replies very soon appeared-one by the Rev. Mr. Velthusen, of the Savoy Chapel, a very learned German Divine; and the second by the learned Dr. Caleb Fleming, who, though a Socinian, very ably and zealously defended the sacred text from this calumny, under the feigned name of Theophilus ;-and neither of these gentlemen were at all aware of the original cause of this controversy. By the latter, some very strong proofs were given that the Magi did not come to Jerusalem to inquire for the Messiah, until the beginning of the second year after his birth, by which many difficulties are removed in comparing the accounts given by St. Matthew and St. Luke. And this explains the wicked motive of Herod for extending his murderous cruelty to all children under two years of age; for "he had privily called the wise men, and diligently inquired of them what time the star appeared.” (Matt. ii. 7.) For otherwise his murders might have been limited to children under two months old, instead of two years. . 1775 No. 11. A Declaration of the People's natural Right to a Share in the N. B. A few years afterwards the Irish Parliament repealed the obnoxious Acts. This change seems to have prompted the English Administration to procure the Union of the two kingdoms, which they rendered extremely dangerous, by permitting Irish Papists to vote for Representatives; for which trust they are utterly unqualified, because their principles and practices have ever been contrary to the two first foundations of English law.

Even Dr. Franklin (bred a Dissenter) and Dr. Rush declared their approbation of it in letters to the Author: and the two first Bishops that were sent to England for consecration, declared that they should not have been sent, had not the Author's endeavours prompted the business. + Memorandum.-Partly from the last-mentioned Tract on Frank-pledge (No. 23), and from the seven Tracts on a Free Militia (No. 22), a plan was drawn up by Dr. Lanthemas, M. D. at Paris, to establish the rights of the French people, and their national representation by annual elections, in a similar effectual mode of frank-pledge and free militia, without martial law. The whole system is most compendiously included in about twenty-three pages, octavo, though extracted from more than five hundred pages. It is entitled, x "Necessité et Moyens d'établir la Force publique sur la Rotation continuelle du Service militaire, et la Representation nationale sur la Proportion exacte du Nombre des Citoyens."-Printed at Paris, in 1792. This little work was approved by Monsieur Rolland, who sent fifty copies of it as a present to G. S., under his official seal as Minister of the Interior. But that worthy and able Minister, and the other true friends to a limited and legal Government, were horribly persecuted, and either driven from their country or murdered by the Papistical Jacobins, who acted under a deceitful cloak of liberty and infidelity, that they might restore the baneful power of standing armies, and an uncontrolled despotism, without which the Papacy could not be restored again to its supreme establishment in France. But if this plan of frank-pledge and legal militia had been adopted a little sooner, so that the majority of the people might have had time to have felt and perceived their own ability and true interest in maintaining justice, law, and peace, among themselves, they might at this time have been a free people, instead of being rendered an enormous and most dangerous band of martial slaves, acting under the irresistible compulsion of a military despot, as a baneful scourge to all neighbouring nations.
