have been wishing to make the Presbytery of Spring-
field their king, and wot not what is now become of
it, betake themselves to the rock of ages, and follow

Item. We will that the Synod of Kentucky examine
every member, who may be suspected of having depar-
ted from the Confession of Faith, and suspend every
such suspected heretic immediately, in order that the
oppressed may go free, and taste the sweets of Gos-
pel liberty.

Item. We will, that Ja- -, the author of two
letters lately published in Lexington, be encouraged in
his zeal to destroy partyism. We will, moreover, that our
past conduct be examined into by all who may have cor-
rect information ; but let foreigners beware of speaking
evil of things which they know not.

Item, Finally we will, that all our sister bodies, read
their Bibles carefully, that they may see their fate there
determined, and prepare for death before it is too
late.
