look for evidence of the best of materials-and never give your vote for a drink of grog-but conduct yourself as a member of the community ought to do; as you expect to answer to the Great Jehovah for the deeds done in the body; and as a friend to society, and to the rights of mankind! If the opinion of an European is the law, and none but lawyers have it, how can a citizen know when he is safe? Does not this show the need of simple and plain acts of legislation, and afforded cheap to the people, that they may know the laws of their own. country? A certain man was indicted for assault and battery; the Jury, not knowing the meaning of the words, brought in a verdict of man slaughter, were reprimanded and sent out again, concluding, if it was not man slaughter, it must be something worse, so returned a verdict of wilful murder; but the Judge had to turn Juryman virtually, and explain what man slaughter was, and what they must bring in. Another set of Jurymen, as the birds say, would unanimously have acquitted a prisoner in their conscience, but thought that by their oaths they were bound to bring in such a verdict as the Judge dictated! A man is what God made him, and why should any Judge remark on the looks or appearance of a prisoner, to prejudice a Jury, and so harden their feelings against him. CONCLUSION. COURTEOUS READER: The foregoing Exemplified Experience in Miniature, exhibits the dealings of God and Man and the Devil, in the various and trying scenes of Life through which an individual hath been called to pass, while upon the Journey of Life, in a period of nearly fifty years. The travels and incidents attendant, are but hints, comparative. to what might have been said or written; but they serve as a specimen, a part for the whole, which admits of section to a contemplative mind! Observations Folemical Divinity and the subject of the inhere and unalienable Rights of Man, &c., &c., are given for the benefit of those who may come after me, in time to come, as well as for those now upon the stage! We must soon part, therefore as I take leave of you, my request is, to lay aside prejudice, sacrifice SIN-sink into the will of Godtake him for your protector and guide by attention to the sweet influence of his spirit on the mind, that you may be useful in your day to your fellow mortals here; and as an inward and spiritual worshipper, ascend to God, thus it may be well with you here and hereafter. AMEN. Adieu till we meet beyond this life! Farewell, LORENZO DOW. APPENDIX. GREAT BRITAIN, To the Church of God in every place: Warrington, April 16th, 1807. This cometh in behalf of Lorenzo Dow, itinerant preacher of the Gospel of God our Saviour, We, the undersigned, ministers and members of the people called Methodist Quakers, late in connexion with the old body of Methodists, do testify, that although his appearance amongst us was in much weakness, many suspicions, good and evil report, his word was with power and the Holy Ghost sent down from Heaven. From the time we have been favored with his labors, he hath conducted himself on all occasions, as one whose sole aim is the glory of God and the welfare of mankind, far beyond his strength, in labors more abundant, travelling night and day for the accomplishment of his vast desire to preach the gospel of the kingdom to many perishing for the lack of knowledge: and we are witnesses his labor hath not been in vain in the Lord: Many of the stones of the street hath been raised to be sons and daughters of Abraham-backsliders reclaimed, and many of infidel principles shaken. From the impressive manner of his life, many, sunk into Laodicean ease, have been stirred up to glorify God with their body, soul and substance, whom we trust and pray will remain stars in the church militant, and afterwards from one part of his crown of rejoicing in the day of the Lord. Amen. Being about to depart from this to his native land, we pray that the guidance of the same Holy Hand, which through a train of Divine Prov. idences cast his lot amongst us, may conduct and protect him over the great deep to the American shores in peace and safety. Amen. R. HARRISON, Preachers My Dear Brother Dow: Dublin, October 18th, 1806.
