between Christ <strong>and</strong> BcUal or vjJiat part has<br />

" <strong>the</strong> believer with an injidel <strong>and</strong> what agree-<br />

It Yv'ill be highly gratifying to Protestants, to<br />

hear that Papists have believed St. PauL We<br />

would recommend it to <strong>the</strong> R., when he begins<br />

this noble exercise, to believe him not merely<br />

according to <strong>the</strong> sound of his words, but to take<br />

<strong>the</strong> sense along with him. There will <strong>the</strong>n be<br />

some hope of his forsaking <strong>the</strong> idolatry of <strong>the</strong><br />

Romish Church, <strong>and</strong> commencing Protestant<br />

reformer. By turning his attention again to<br />

<strong>the</strong>se words of St. Paul, he wdll find, that he is<br />

nei<strong>the</strong>r speaking of infallibility nor errors of<br />

faith. He is merely cautioning Christians against<br />

an intimate connection with<br />

persons who rejected<br />

<strong>the</strong> truth, <strong>and</strong> adhered to <strong>the</strong> worship of<br />

images <strong>and</strong> oilier hea<strong>the</strong>nish practices. " Be<br />

'•<br />

ye not," says he, " unequally yoked toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />

" with unbeliLvers ; for v, hat fellowship hath<br />

' righteousness with unrighteousness, <strong>and</strong> what<br />

" communion hath light with darkness V &c. j<br />

ahd <strong>the</strong>n he adds, " Vx^herefore, come out<br />

" from among <strong>the</strong>m <strong>and</strong> be ye separate, saith<br />

**-<br />

<strong>the</strong> Lord, <strong>and</strong> touch not <strong>the</strong> unclean thing."<br />
