In regard to R e lig io n , there is no need
to ufe m uch A rgu m en t to p rove, th a t it
is neceifary for th e P oor, becaufe an O p i­

great and the fafh ion able h avin g little
O ccafion for it.
So far as the princi­
p a l Purpofe o f R eligio n (that o f each

concerned, th e O pinion is untrue, and th e
L an gu age irreverent. Salvation is to a ll o f
equal, th a t is o f infinite Im portance, and
th e M ed iu m of Salvation is to a ll the fame.
B u t in an inferior Senfe, and as the P ro-

upon pu b lic Peace and O rder, tliere m a y

In one

In the other, the dete& ed

T ru th w h ich is m ixed w ith it. One Effe£t
w o u ld fo llo w from the fober E xercife o f R eafo n ; the oth er w e have to fear, from D ifg u ft
a t Im poûtion , and from the natural P rid e
and Intem perance o f the hum an Underftanding.
One Effe6t is as m uch to be
deiired, as th e other is to be dreaded.
It feems therefore a feafonable Precaution
to form in th e v e ry Bofom o f Popery, a
Species o f E ducation , w h ich preierves the
G rain, w h ilft it rejeóts the C h aff; which,

enable and teach the Y o u th fo edu*

and Abufes, w h ich deform and difgrace the
origin al Inftitution, taken aw ay.
B ut w hatever there m ay be in this Ofrfervatxon, it relates on ly to one Part o f our

The Contributions o f private Perfons, both in Great-Britain and
Ireland, have alio been very confiderable ; as may appear by the an­
nual Account of Subfcriptions and Donations received, for the Ere&ion
and Endowment of thefeveral Schools. From the Commencement o f
the Inftitution to November, 1787, the Sum of 62,029/. 15*^- 2 ^ . hath
been remitted by the Corresponding Society in London, for whofe zeal­
ous and moil ufeful Endeavours for promoting this Charitable Inftitu­
tion, as well by communicating their Sentiments and Advice upon
all Occafions, as by contributing and procuring Benefa&ions, the
Society are highly indebted, and return their moil hearty Thanks.

vefted 40,000/. Stock in the 4 per Cent. Britijh Funds, in Robert

Approbation been appropriated to particular Purpofes o f the Society,
and was in Dec. 1796, transferred to the Society. And in M ay

The Society, at a General Meeting, 15th March, 1775, agreed to

W h e r e a s it has been the confiant Pra&ice o f this Society, not to
