Commendatory Notice of Dr. Wayland's "Notes," r The great principle of Dr. 7 Wajland's book, b, a spiritual worship : and an actice chur -hl This may ba regarded, as: being properly its tiilesy motto. To this issue be considers Baptists as committed by their principle ; and he regards them as departing from their princi pies, to the extent, in which tbey vary from this standard ; thus evidently identifying "their principles with those of the New Testament. Id thus exhibiting the principles of Baptists, and insisting upon conformity to them, in their practice, Dr. Wayland's book is, in fact, noth ing h-ss than a discussion of the spirituality" of religion. It is an interesting and lively practi cal commentary upon the great truth, t; (God is a Spirit, and they that Vworship him, "must worship hrm in ppirit and in truth.". The wor ship of the heart,, offered up to God, in the ic i " wuicu ue nim- Bilf has appo nted for this purpose, lY the im portant lesson, Which the book of Dr. Wayland was evidently deigned, and is admirably calcu Jated t6 teach . Whatever tr. Wayland com. ?.?s Le commends as tributwy to this end Whatever he coudimns, ho condemns as of a totcign and ndveisc nature.
