Excerpt: ... NOTE D. The following correspondence, relating to a period upon which Mr. Hall has dwelt at much length, will be read with interest by all. It is the state of tilings as viewed by the parties themselves. We thought it better to permit the men of that age to tell their own story for themselves, than to make a formal answer to such a tissue of absurdities as Mr. Hall has penned concerning the men of those times. In 1646, Charles I. fled from Oxford, and took refuge with the Scottish army, then at Newark, and afterwards was conducted by them to Newcastle. Clarendon, in his History, &c., vol. III. p. 31, gives the following account of the circumstances connected with these papers: Then they employed their Alexander Henderson, and their other clergy, to persuade the King to consent to the extirpation of Episcopacy in England, as he had in Scotland; and it was, and is still believed, that if his Majesty could have been induced to have satisfied them in that particular, they would either have had a party in the Parliament at Westminster to have been satisfied therewith, or that they would thereupon have declared for the King, and have presently joined with the loyal party in all places for his Majesty''s defence.

ROMISH VIEW OF THE CHURCH. The Romish system teaches that "the visible Church of Christ is the Son of God himself! everlastingly manifesting Himself among men in a human form, perpetually renovated and eternally young, the permanent Incarnation of the same."
