GENTLEMEN,

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS TO CORRESPONDENTS. June 21, 1810. LOOKING the other day into your xxxiiid vol. I found a note at page 393, in which you fay that " you know not on what authority the incomparable tract, entitled The Trial of the Witneffes of the Refurrection of Jefus, has been usually attributed to Sherlock, afterwards Bishop of London."

In 1747, Abraham Le Moine, Rector of Everley, in Wiltshire, publishedan elaborate" Treatife on Miracles," which he dedicated to Sherlock, who was his diocesan and friend. The book was principally written against Chubb, who lived at Salisbury, and it feems was angry with the bishop, for having faid fomething fharp about his difrefpectful treatment of Archdeacon Stebbing. On this Chubb, in his Difcourfe on Miracles, ventured to attack the incomparable tract above-mentioned, and Mr. Le Moine, in his treatife, has the following remarks on his conduct.

"There is another thing in Mr. Chubb's Difcourfe, &c. which I cannot pafs over unobferved. Amongst all the learned produc tions that have appeared of late in defence of chriftianity, none has met with a more general applaufe than the Trial of the Wit nees of the Refurrection of Jejus, &c., and therefore Mr. Chubb muft needs attack it; though I believe the true reafon of his doing? fo is a fecret refentment of what the very great man, who is the author of it, was pleased to fay of him, that he was come to peres fonal reflections with respect to Dr. Stebbing, (who had published a Charge. ie the Clergy of iKilts,. againit his True Ged, &c. b
