lished by Mr. Rees.

X. The UNITARIANS have no symbolic book. To Doctor Lardner's _Letter on
the Logos_ they shew universal respect.

XI. The symbolic books of THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND,--are,

1. _The Theological Oaths_,--containing a Declaration of the belief
of the Monarch's spiritual supremacy;--and Declarations against
Transubstantiation,--the invocation of Saints,--and the sacrifice
of the Mass;

2. _The Thirty-nine Articles_.

XII. The symbolic book of the ENGLISH AND SCOTTISH PRESBYTERIANS,--is

"_The Articles of Religion_ approved and passed by both Houses of
Parliament after advice had with an assembly of divines, called
together for that purpose." These were sent into Scotland, and
immediately sanctioned by the General Assembly, and Parliament of
that kingdom; and thus became a law of the Church and State.

XIII. The symbolic books of the Anabaptists may be said to be,--

THEIR SEVERAL CONFESSIONS OF FAITH:--Five were published at
Amsterdam, in 1675, in one volume 8vo.

XIV. The symbolic books of the Quakers,--are,

1. _Barclay's Catechism and Confession of Faith_, published in
1675;

2. His _Theses Theologicae_;

3. His _Apology_,--a logical demonstration of the propositions in
the Theses. It was translated into almost every language and
presented to all the ministers assembled at Nimeguen;

4. But some persons assert that the real doctrines of the Quakers
are more easily discoverable from _The Christian Quaker and his
divine testimony, vindicated by Scripture reason and authorities
against the injurious attempts that have been lately made by
several adversaries_.--This work appeared in 1674; the first part
of it was written by Penn, the second by Whithead, one of his most
distinguished disciples.

XV. It may be added, that the symbolic book of the Jews,--is

_The Schelosch aikara ikkarim,--the Thirteen Articles of Faith_
framed by Rabbi Moses Ben Maimon in the 12th century: it is
frequently inserted in the Jewish prayer books. Sebastian Munster
published it with a Latin translation and an abridgment of the
History of Josephus, in one vol. 8vo. at Worms in 1529.

Many Christian Catechisms have been translated into Hebrew for the
benefit of the Jews.
