But if the Logos, that high and exalted spirit, in the Arian sense, was the soul of Christ; this part of his humiliation, in clothing himself with a human body, would have been frequently represented and described, in the clearest and most emphatical expressions." Here the Doctor goes into close reasoning on the subject; aud after considering many other passages which have been thought to have more or less bearing on the point in question, (which occupy about sixteen pages,) he adds: "We must now be able to perceive the true character of our blessed Saviour, and the great propriety, with which the Apostles and evangelists speak of him. the people of Israel, were gathered together, "From all that has been said, it appears, No. 31. are entitled to many blessings and privileges: but Jesus, as the Messiah, is "the Son of God," by way of eminence and distinction.

See Whitby upon Rom. ix. 5.'-Dr. Jortin's Discourses concerning the Christian Religion, p. 17. Which indeed, is well shown in the passages of ancient authors, alleged by Whitby in the place referred to.

The proposed method of preparing the oil is by heating it in an open vessel until it gives out an inflamable vapour. The gas evolved is then to be burnt as it rises, until the quantity of the oil becomes reduced to two-thirds of its original volume: it is then to be exposed to the action of the air for one month previous to using, and may be employed as above, instead of bees' wax. These materials, having been melted together by the heat of steam, as above directed, are then to be submitted for three or four days to the action of chlorine gas, for the purpose of bleaching, and to be frequently stirred up during the operation; this is to be performed in a close vessel, having glass windows for the admission of light into the interior. The marine force of the allied powers, compared with that of the Turks was small, being composed of all classes of ships of war, of but twenty-six sail. The Turks seventy sail of vessels, of various armaments were moored in the harbour of Navarino under the protection of strong batteries. "There were besides, about forty transports and other vessels formed behind the Turkish fleet. The result is: one Turkish line of batthe ships burned; two driven on shore, wrecks -one double frigate sunk; one on shore, a wreck; two burned-fifteen frigates burnt and sunk; three on shore, wrecks; one on shore, masts standing-fifteen corvettes burned and sunk; four on shore, wrecks-nine brigs burnt and sunk; one on shore, masts standing-six fire ships destroyed, and three transports. So that it appears that of the whole seventy vessels of war. only eight of the smaller classes were afloat, which is probably to be accounted for from their small draft of water, enabling them to haul in close under the batteries ashore, and which appear to have been very formidahle." of whom, generally, are lay members?
