A ll these jarticulars were substantially confirmed by David Williams; whose tes timony in regard to the searching of An dre, beingtmore minute than Paulding s, is here inserted. . " We took him in the bushes," said Williams, "and ordered him to pull off his clothes,; which fm did baton searching him narrowly we ! could not find ,any sort of writings, t We told him to nulloff'his boots, which: he seemed to be indifferent about, but wp got one bootofl. and search ed in that boot, but could find nothing.

After be had held forth the doctrine of justification by faith, he powerfully insisted on a c hange of heart, without which it was im possible for any individual to arrive at heaven. His boldness and earnestness surprised and alarmed the courtiers of his Majesty, who had not been ar-cus-toiried to such plain dealing. All were looking for a reproof from the 'sovereign fur the boldness of the preacher; but tho' his sermon was -a. - subject of general conversation, his Majesty alono retained a total silence respecting it, neveralluding to the circumstance for several months. o Durmthis time, the archbishop of ArmagD, rriraate. ol Ireland, died, and Right Rev. Lord John Beresford. arch bishop of Djb in, wa appointed to suc ceed him. The See of Dublin being the gift of tho crown, a list of candidates was nominated to his Man-sty, for each of whom' powerful interest was made. Dr. Magee, not being a favourite on ac count of his evangelical sentiments, was neglected. When his Majesty provreied to make the appointment, he inquired the name ol. the faithful, able and eloquent preacher who had delivered a discourse before him inJDublin. . He was told it was D Magee. -Then," said he, the man that fears not to preach the whole truth before the king, thall be honored, and Dr. M igee. shall be archbishop of Dublin."
