"Easy, my lad don't start the timbers. In trouble hey?" I nodded. "I thought as much, when I shipped ye. Sit up, and tell me; but first listen to this.
"We don't want old Principle's sermons here," exclaimed Dudley, having recovered his good humor. "Aren't you awfully hungry? I'm sure tea must be ready." They went to the terrace where a most elaborate repast was set out, which they thoroughly enjoyed.
But if the whole Church be the dispenser of the mysteries of God, what shall be the object of this dispensation? How shall the men, who maintain the principle's of the Independents, clearly help themselves out of these perplexing absurdities?
