"48. Though Adam had not sinned, he had died a natural death.

"49. The image of God, in which man was created, was in his countenance; therefore, wicked men have this image as well as saints.

From the above catalogue of errors, we may see that the deceitfulness of the human heart, and the cunning and malice of Satan are much the same in every age. Almost every form of error prevalent in our times, has existed centuries ago; in heresy, it would be hard to find any thing entirely new.

Our author next proceeds to give a list of blasphemies which had been uttered by one and another, either in writing or with the living voice; but it would not be for edification to repeat them, or in any way to perpetuate their memory.

He also has collected numerous facts to show the impiety and extravagance of the sectaries; and also letters from clergymen and others, confirming the facts, which he charged upon them.

This book was animadverted on by John Goodwin, on a work, entitled "Cretensis," which gave occasion to the writing the second part of the GANGRæna, in which he deals very sarcastically and severely with his antagonist. This John Goodwin was a very remarkable man, learned, acute, violent in temper, exceedingly abusive in controversy, and a great enemy to Calvinism, and to the Assembly. He was known by the name of the Red Dragon of Colman street. He was often engaged in public controversy, and on one occasion, challenged all the Presbyterian ministers in the kingdom, whether in the Assembly or out of the Assembly, to dispute with him. He is often confounded with Dr. Thomas Goodwin, the learned, orthodox, and pious member of the Assembly, and leader in that body of the Independents; but it would be hard to find two men more opposite in their views and characters. The one was a thorough-going Arminian, in every point; the other a high-toned Calvinist: the one was a man of an humble, meek, and conscientious spirit; the other was a fierce and abusive polemic. It cannot be denied, however, that John Goodwin was a man of extraordinary talents. Perhaps his "Redemption Redeemed," is as able a defence of the Arminian system as has been published
