PREFACE.

ON the completion of another Volume of this Mifcellany, the Editors feel themselves impelled to exprefs their grateful Satisfaction for the very liberal Patronage which it has received, from the Friends of pure Religion.

To the generous contributions of their numerous Correfpondents, must be attributed principally the Success which has crowned the ORTHODOX CHURCHMAN'S MAGAZINE; and among these the Editors may be permitted to name, without offending others, the Indefatigable INSPECTOR, the LONDON CURATE, and the Reverend Mr. COMBER, whofe valuable communications have certainly given a degree of confequence to this Work, which at an early period of its publication could not have been expected.

To thofe worthy coadjutors, as well as to their other kind Correspondents and well-withers, the Editors beg leave to return their grateful Acknowledgements, and to folicit a continuance of their Support. Much depends upon the united efforts of the zealous Members of the Established Church, especially of fuch as ferve at her Altar, to preserve her interests secure against the conflicting elements of fchifm, infidelity, errour, and enthufiafm.

By a timely exposure of the artifices of the enemy, and by a clear exhibition of the pure principles of catholick doctrine, and church order, it is to be hoped, that confiderable good may be done in opening the eyes of those who have been deceived by the fnares of the crafty, and in guarding others from being entangled in the fame devices.

This Work was inftituted for no other object, and, therefore, the Proprietors and Editors cannot be confidered as prefumptuous, in calling upon every friend of our Ecclefiaftical Establishment, to aid their labours in the Common Caufe of LOYALTY and ORTHODOXY.
