"THE doctrine of the Church's Infallibility," says the excellent JACKSON, “ dermines the very foundation of the Church's faith,-those of merit and justification, and the propitiation of the mass unroof the edifice and deface the walls, leaving nothing thereof but altar stones for their idolatrous

THE Romish system is to be taken from its authorized records, and its established practices. From books which have been examined and re-examined, revised and corrected, and finally approved and licensed by Qualifiers, Inquisitors, Provincials, and Heads of Orders, not from such books as an Englishman sets forth at his own pleasure, and for his own purpose.

Doyle, and Co. I take it as it appears and is, at Madrid and Rome, not as it is in Great Ormond Street.

I suppose he hath met with sharp rebukes from his wiser bre- | thren what penances or censures they have inflicted on him, I know not, but the effect is visible, and the man is brought to a recanting strain. And that he may have some colourable palliation for it, he pretends that he was misunderstood, and never meant to deny infallibility to the Church, save only in the most rigorous sense that the term would import, and therefore he roundly asserts that the Church can neither deceive believers that follow her, nor be deceived herself.-Exomolog. sect. 2, c. 21. POOLE'S Nullity of the Romish Faith, p. 244.

"CONCERNING this glorious text of not erring, the case is easy, and the issue short. If the true church, which can never err, be the visible church, then that visible church which often hath erred, and doth still err, cannot be the true church."-JACKSON, vol. 3, p. 841.

See the Anti-Coton, English translation, p. 30-2, for the Kakodæmon's justification of Garnett. Garnett and Oldcome are both by him and by Bellarmine called martyrs, and their names are in the Jesuits' Catalogue of their martyrs printed at Rome.

PERMIT me, sir, in my turn, to ask if you have read it, or if your allusion to it is built upon the interpretation given to it by that foul slanderer James Laing, whom I thank Sir Egerton Brydges for introducing me to in one of his erudite volumes, and for designating him as a furious and calumnious bigot.

THE Armenian Bible Christians, commonly called Briantes, have female as well as male itinerants. The female preachers, described in the Pulpit, No. 6, p. 91, were dressed like Quakers.

She belonged to the London Circuit, and was No. 11 of the place.
