For JUNE, 1812.

Rolvenden, June 1. A$ SI consider your Miscellany to be a general depository, or shrine, of literary relicks, I transmit to you the enclosed Reply of Dr. Young, to an Enquirer respecting, if I may so speak, the Scripturality of the Doctrine of Final Perseverance. From the manuscript, now in possession of the Widow of the Gentleman to whom it was addressed, I transcribed it. It has never been published hitherto. Without pledging myMr. URBAN, Blandford, June 3. self, on either side, as to the sentimented in a strong impression of HE following observations origi

which it contains, I entrust it to your
disposal.
J. G. DURHAM.

DEAR SIR-The Scripture only can
give us light as to our final acceptance
with God. Our own fancied impulses
may deceive us. No man can have a full
assurance of salvation, for this plain rea-
son, viz. "Because the end can never
be certain, when the means of attaining
that end are uncertain." Now, though
for the time past a man may have lived
well, yet he is not sure that he shall do
so for the future. And the Scripture has
cautioned us against flattering ourselves
with full assurance of salvation, when
it says,
"Let him that standeth take
heed lest he fall."

That this short and plain consideration may restore your peace of mind, is the hearty prayer of, Your affectionate E. YOUNG.

humble servant,

To Mr. Wm. Slade, at Deptford, in Kent, Sept. 11, 1757.

Mr. URBAN, Harwich, June 2.
HE late much-lamented Prime
Minister's
(see

500) was Member of Parliament for
this Borough, and contributed to the
erection of the Workhouse here; as
appears by the following Inscription
on a white stone in the West front of
that building.

"This Workhouse was erected and fitted up at the expence of the Right

Hon. John Lord Viscount Percival and Sir Philip Parker, bart. representatives of this Borough, (for the encouragement

Since the period mentioned in the above inscription, this Workhouse has been considerably enlarged; and it now forms about one-third part of the present building used for that R. R. BARNES. purpose.

those feelings which were excited by a late most tragical event; an event of public notoriety, and of a nature so affecting, as, at the instant, to divest Party itself of its accustomed violence, and to unite in the utmost possible degree all the respectable members of society, in the expression of their heartfelt concern, together with their avowed abhorrence of the atrocious act, which was productive of so direful a result. Many and striking indeed are the lessons it affords us. While, in common with other instances of mortality, and especially of sudden dissolution, it demonstrates the instability of sublunary things; it likewise reads us an instructive lecture on the necessity of self-government, and manifests the destructive effect of evil passions, when suffered to gain the ascendancy over the nobler powers of the mind, There is one object, however, to thoughts

to paper, I would more particularly direct the reader's attention; an object to which it appears to me capable of being applied, although it may not, in all probability, have entered into the minds of so many persons, as the foregoing reflections, which are indeed what every rightly thinking man must inevitably form. The use 1 would willingly make of the afflicting circumstance, distinctly from the
