such, and so far forth as they are distinct from those Scripture facts, which Arians and Socinians hold as religiously as himself, to be "a system of technical theology by which we are guarded" only "in some measure from the exorbitance of theoretic enthusiasm," a system of phrases borrowed from those who differ from us, and useful only in excluding their use of them.

It may be excused the present writer, in the wording of these last remarks, to have shown his own sense of the theology which has occasioned them. What may be the issue of the present anxious conflict of opinion in this place, He will order according to His wisdom, who has promised that all things shall work together for good for those who love Him. But should it end in the appointment of Dr. H. to the Theological Chair, he believes that ten years hence, those who are in no way protesting against his appointment now, would, if then alive, feel they had upon them a responsibility greater than has been incurred by Members of this University for many centuries.
