SUPT. /5. sa)s Mr. C. " s he can never repair ; but in the criminality Of that," he adds, " some of the bigots, who have surrounded her, are deeply infp!icated—must stiffer," and ought forth with to he openly tried. Sooner or later, and it cannot happen too soon, " there must be a complete disclosure of all delusion and deluders; for if she herself be not oneof the latter, she has been surrounded by some persons who have made her the instrument of widely disseminating the former. Had she coutinutd the simple character she originally scliA she would never have fallen into this deplorable snare ; but, as it Ss, he believes what she writes--that she is pregnant, and that she will bring forth this miraculous Son !" Granting. that the " delusion" of the prophetess is, like her assurance and ignorance," to be suffered to protect from the puniliment that her writings would otherwise have called down, this defence will certainly not apply to those abettors by whom she is surrounded; and by whose exertions the delusion is propagated, if not counselled. tier military champions, Colonel 11"w"cl and his Major ; her Northern Neptune, who declares that " be expects to nurse the child as he did the stool" he procured for its mama ; her Re verend Friend, Tom ; her purser, Miss 7 60 0*y ; her secre tary, Ann Underwood the god-mother, Mrs. F"s"r her new Medical Monitor ; her amanuensis, o'n; her Sleeping Partner ; her Counsel Learned in the Law ; and, though last, not least, her " hiecius doecius," William T*er ; thee, surely, with many more, are not likewise labouring under a strong mental delusion, which incapacitates them, each and 201, from seeing morally clear I Joanna may have gone mai ; but it is rather too much to believe, that she has incurably bitten so many rational and sagacious indivi duals as are to be found among her chief supporters. Though it is evident that the Preacher of the House of God still hankers after the Prophetess, hoping that " God will humble her heart to repent," and that " in the midst of her sorrow, when convinced of her errors, she will be glad for the man, whom she and her mad followers have so per secuted, to pour a little balm into the wounds the enemy has made," yet he does not pretend to apologise for her " hic6us doccius," or for any others who are " disguised as friends to the cause." Punishment is that which in this case he prescribes. Why, indeed, should the accomplice of Joanna Southeott be exempted from the penalty that has been inflicted on the publisher of Thomas Paine? Eaton was not long since condemned to stand in the pillory, besides being imprisoned in Newgate, for the circulation of al itings less dangerous, because less operative, than those of the pro phetess. This case is within the recollection of every one, and comes expressly to the point. Spiritual adultery is, according to Mr. Carpenter, " the mixture of the works of God with those of the Devil ; and they must make that mixture, for the charge to apply to them. So," however, he adds, " has Joanna Southeott. Fier confederates boast that 40,000 are in full faith and ex pectation of this imaginary Child, whose mother impiously says—if the child do not so CODIC, then Christ Jesus never came, as recorded by the Evangelists, and the Christian world has been imposed on for 1800 years! Consider," ob serves Mr. Carpenter, "ye who are the Principals in this § " The woman (meaning Joanna) was as ignorant as can possi bly he conceived : she could not write, for any one to read ; nei ther coa!d she spell a word of two syllables, nor, indeed, many souni,syllables.

The emosecutor became suspicious of their intentions, and ran away hastily ; thee pursued him, and he had not run as hundred yards befere, he fell down. The prisoner and the two others came up 1 to Limn, and demanded his money, which he gave theta ; not satisfied 1 with this, they dragged him through the hedge, and across a field, 1 where they stripped him of every article of his clothes, and left him in a state of nakedness, %rah Ids hands and legs tied ; one of theca Iwas however appointed centinel over him, while the others went nwav, but retained in an hour, and after having examined his legs and hatreds ito see teat they were secure, - left him, threatening his lee if he pre isettled to make any alarm. After a !drone appeal to their eh metear e they condescended to give him an old pair of truwsers.
