l'Unite des Cultes_, of M. Bonald, is written, with great ingenuity.
That Essay, and several others by the same author, were inserted in the
_Ambigu_ of Peltier, and deserve the attention, of every reader. Though
they contain some things, to which a Roman Catholic writer, would
object, they are evidently written, by a Roman Catholic pen.

The first point to be considered, by those, who meditate the project of
reunion, is, its practicability--those, who are disposed, to contend for
the affirmative, will observe, the number of important articles, of
Christian Faith, in which, all Christians, are agreed, and the
proportionally small number of those, in which, any Christians disagree.

All Christians believe,

1st. That there is one God;

2d. That he is a Being, of infinite perfection;

3d. That he directs all things, by his providence;

4th. That it is our duty to love him, with all our hearts, and our

5th. That it is our duty, to repent, of the sins we commit;

6th. That God, pardons the truly penitent;

7th. That there is a future state, of rewards, and punishments,
when all mankind shall be judged, according to their works;

8th. That God, sent his Son, into the world, to be its saviour, the
author of eternal salvation, to all, that obey him;

9th. That he is the true Messiah;

10th. That he taught, worked miracles, suffered, died, and rose

11th. That he will hereafter, make a second appearance on the
earth, raise all mankind from the dead, judge the world in
righteousness, bestow eternal life on the virtuous, and punish the
workers of iniquity.

In the belief of these articles, all Christians, the Roman Catholic, all
the Oriental churches, all the members of the Church of England, all
Lutherans, Calvinists, Socinians, and Unitarians, are agreed. In
addition to these, each division, and subdivision of Christians, has its
own tenets. Now, let each settle among its own members, what are the
articles of belief, peculiar to them, which, in their cool deliberate
judgment, they consider as _absolutely necessary_ that a person should
believe, to be a member of the church of Christ; let these articles be
divested of all foreign matter, and expressed in perspicuous, exact, and
unequivocal terms; and, above all, let each distinction of Christians,
earnestly wish, to find an
