Some of the ablest writers on church government, communicants of other church es, have advocafed, with profound ability, the views already adverted f to." Men of exten. sive erudition and deep research have admit led the truth of this position, v'ith a candor characteristic of true greatness, of mind.- Among ihesa it would not be amiss to regkon StiUingfleet.

Whilst ho contends that it is proper to have some form cf . church government) he contends that a diversity of forms may comport with thewill of Christ, , And who, having matured ! the subject well, can deny it? And again; the fact recurs that if Christ had intended to in. stitute but one lorm, he -wuld. have made somo positive specifications upon the subject. Certainly a question involving such great im portance would have been clearly and satis- faclprily expressed, either by J Christ or some of his Apostles.- ; T ; In connection wim this point, I will intro. duce a few remark of Mr. Wesley's: j" I read over," says he, lj Lord iKinjg's account of the primitive church. I In spile of th ve nement prejudice of my education, I was rpa. dy to believe that this was a fair and impar. lial draught. But if so, t would .follow tUt bishops and preibyters are essentially of one order; and that originally every, christian congregation was a church independent of all others." Again: u,As to niy pwn judge. ment, I still beljevsj the i episcopal form 'of church government to be icripjural and opos tolical.' il mean, well agreeing! with the! pra'c tica'and writings of the Apostles., .But-that il.li prescribed in scripture, ! dp. not believe. This Opinion, which I once zealously espousr cdj 'IJ have been heartily ashamed of evir sineb I read Bishop Stillingfieel1s Irenicon. I think that he has unanswerably proved that neither Christ nr his Apostles j&rcjcn'iei any j particular form of church government, and that the plea of divine right fof diocesan e- piscopacy, was never heard of,! in the primi- live church." He likewise makes the follow. ing remarks In reference to the Lame subject1: " Concerning Diocesan Episcopacy, there are several questions 1 should be glad to have an swered.! I.- Where is it prescribed in scrip. turel 2. How aoes it appear that the Apos- ties settled it in ajl the churches 1 hey planted? 3. How does it appear thatlthey!,. settled it in any, as to make it of perpetual Obligation X- It is allowed Christ and his1 Apostles did put the churches under some form of government or other. But, .1. Did they put all churches under the same form? . Ifiheyfdid. 2. Can we prove this to have been the very same which now remains in the Chilrch of Engi land?" These are rational questions? and I am of the opinion that it would puzzle the Church of England to prove that ,j: if there was a prescribed form in the primitive church, she now has that form. This, however, she cani not do. ' 1 . I !'. I Hence upon this ground (but not upon this alone, be it'remembered,):we argue the pro priety of r. Wesley's trourse jin ordaining men and sending them to America. . It was not essential to the constitution of theM. Ej Church that it derive, its amhorijly and pbw4 ers through an unbroken succession from Sti Peter down to the present period - or . adherei to that form of government '.regulating thej ProtestanVE. Church ; for, from this churchy she was differently situated. .Circumstances,! of a very strong character, required that ejt dsrs and deacons be appointed by, tho author.. ity of Mr. j Wesley.' These xircumtahces were previously alluded tot. r The fact has already been hinted at that Mr. Wesley - was constituted Presbyter (you have-! it proselyte please correct it,.for my, meaning is greatly perverted,) by a body bfj'resbyler of the Church of England; -' buch ,,was the case. . And Mf.
