As far as domestic co: corned, we presume that such marriages are like i I others, some of them happy, and others the re-I verse. That all, in this n-speet re happy, requires better proof than the naked assertion of a few of the advocates of these improper connexions. The major proposition consists of two members. The first of which, viz "every marriage attended with happy results, lias the divine approbation," rests on the utterly fallacious principle, that

in the present world, God manifests his approba- j sor righteous. And this inability in the law, arose 'ion or disapprobation of human actions, by visi-I from the inability of the transgressor to meet its Lie tokens of his providence, visiting every viola- I claims. ''It was weak through the flesh;" that is, ion of h:s law with corresponding misery, and be- j through human infirmity. Sin was the author of stowing on the obedient, external comfort and j a new c'aim which now rests upon the transgres-pr-isperity. In some such manner the friends of j sor, which he cannot, as already proved, meet, and Job reasoned; with how much truth and conclu- j in relation to which he never can be righteous by sivenes'S, every one acquainted with his bible can his obedience.

In the same way, every prosperous and law continue in all their sacred force, but these wickr-d man might reason, and infer, with as much the sinner can never meet, by reason of his moral certainty as in the present case, that God approves depravity. Tut the apostle shows us that what of his course of life, and consequently that it is a the law could not do for the sinner, God had done righteous course, because "God does not approve for him, by sending his son in the likeness of sinof any violation of his law."

i - t ----- t this, scarcely mr-nts a serious answer; yet, we have answered it seriously, because we have heard it seriously urged by members of an ecclesiastical judicatory. It might have been answered more bri.-fly, by simply stating the major proposition r.i'Eitiv tuu.- ' every marriage .-u . i-.n unhappy results, is under divine disapprobation, and is a violation of his law," which is so evidently false, that the futility of the objection appears at once. Tut we thought the method in which it has been met, more likely to be satisfactory. A far as recollected by the writer, there are no ether objections, which have even the merit of plausibility; and as the three which have been -considered, are manifestly untenable, it follows, that the doctrine ofour Confession of Faith, on the present subject, is that alone which agrees with the word of God. Having placed the determination of the subject upon the basis of the holy scriptures, where alone it can securely stand, we might leave it there. Eut a? different kinds of testimony are at hand, and one kind of testimony more deeply affects one mind, and a different kind, another; we shah briefly avail ourselves of one or two sources of convict on, viz: ILstory and Reason, and with these- conclude the investigation. ( To be concluded.) For the Standard. ATONEMENT No. III. j 3.) My third argument, to prove that the atone- i nen'. of Christ is a real satisfaction to penal justice, is irav- j! j'rom his name, or title, " Rcd( cmer." The orig-nr ! Hebrew word is gaal, ct gocl the verbal or radical signification of which is, "to vindicate or n.deem a lost or Jot f tiled inheritance; to recover it fir i pnee to its proper owner.'' As a noun, it signifies a kinsman or Px-di-enier; one who, according to law, acted the part of a kinsman, in doing for another what he could not do for himself. The kinsman, or near relative, according to the Mosaic law, was to marry the widow cf his deceased kinsman, in order to redeem the memory of his brother from oblivion, (Ruth iii. 9,) "to raise vp seed unto his brother.''' This kinsman Redeemer was also to redeem the mortgaged inheritance of his brother who had waxen poor; (Lev. xxv. -25;) he was to ransom his poor kinsman from bondage, by paying the price of his redemption; (v. 47,) ccc. Christ is our kinsman ; because he is possessed cf our nature. "It behoved him to be in ail things like unto his brethren to make reconciliation f,r iniquity;" and thus he redeems from the. curse of the law. He "made re concilia ion. or satisfaction ly the blood rf his cross, and thus he "obtained eternal redemption for j." The race of man is in a stai of bondage; the prisoners of divine justice. They baye sold themselves by transgression, and are unVr tne curs of the broken covenant of works; winch is death. They are under liability to the loss of soul and holy in hell forever. But Christ redeems by giving his lit'.; a ransom for them. They have forfeited the inheritance of eternal life, but Christ red oms, or buys back, that forfeiture, .y rendering that obedience to the divine law for them, which they had failed to render and are now utterly and forever unable to render. Tims the govt, under the Mosaic law, who bought back the inheritance ofhis brother, i:ia6tate of bankruptcy, who redeemed him from slavery, was an eminent type of Christ, our Redei mrr.

But let us, before we pass from this argument, j

' examine a little the import of the word redeem. It ;

Thus "we ; i have redemption through his blood, even the forc. );.. ., -:t, u: ! ieiit'?3 cusui, ciccuiuiri lu uie ntiiea ui ina i "race." ! (4.) My fourth argument is derived from that j passage, (Rom. viii. 4,) where "the righteousness of the law'' is said to be fulfilled in regenerated persons. In the preceding verse, the apostle gives us to know what the law (or our best obedience to it.) could not do it could not make the transgrcsr .' -- the punishment of it falling upon Christ, as a substitute, acting in the sinner's place. The design of 'condemning sin in the flesh" is remarkable "that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after ti,.. - -: Our first inquiry here is, what is the righteousness of the law! I answer the term righteousness signifies conformity tortile. "The righteousness of the law," can signify nothing more nor less than obedience, or conformity to the claims of law. In a state of innocence, man's righteousness consisted in obedience, or conformity to the precepts of this law. Such, we may understand to be the righteousness of holy angels who always kept that law. The smallest deviation from any precept of this law is inconsistent with righteousness. The obedience required, from the nature of the case, must necessarily be perfect. Tut let it be remarked, as before hinted, that when man transgressed, his obligation to the precepts of this law was not impaired, while a new (viz.- a penal) obligation then rested upon him. To constitute him a righteousness now, which shall not only exempt him from the curse of the law, but also fully restore his right to eternal life, both these claims must be fully met. There must be an obedience, a conformity to the law, covering both these claims. Eut we have seen that the transgressor is not able to meet either claim, by reason of that infirmity which necessarily belongs to a state of sin. To suffer the penalty, will be his eternal ruin his moral alienation from the divine law, in heart, renders him utterly unable to obey the precepts of that law. But, thanks to God, what the law could not do, or what the sinner could not do by his own obedience to law, God has done by "sending his Son," ccc. It is on this account, that the obedience of Christ is called "the righteousnes of God," and "the righteousness of God, without the law." And this righteousness, in the economy of grace, is imputed to the penitent, believing sinner, according to Roman iv. 2-2, 24. Thus, it becomes his prop erty for being, by faith, made one with Christ being brought into a state of fellowship with him being made a member of his body hebecomes interested in his righteousness, as the member ofa firm is to the common stock. Hence, he is said to be "crucified with Christ," (Gal. ii. 20,) as if he had personally met the penal claims of the law. He is in Christ Jesus, and therefore free from condemnation. Christ constitutes the end of that claim; because, as a sacrifice for sin, he is the believer's righteousness. Hence, we have a clue to all those passages where believer's are said to be dead with Christ to be crucified with him,Jcc. (5.) My next argument is drawn from those scriptures which represent Christ as bearing our sins as being delivered for our ollences as laying down his life for his people as dying the just 'or tne unjust and, as giving Ins lite a ransom tor them. The reader is referred to the follow ing: Who his own self bare our sins in his own lvdy, on the tree-." (1 Pi ter ii. 24.) "Surely he hath borne our oriel's and carried our sorrows and lie was numbered with the transgressors, and ho We the sin of many." (Isa. liii. 4-12.) "Who was delivered for our otfencr!"-.'' (Rom. iv. 25.) "When we were yet without strength, in due time Christ dicdf,r vs:'' (Rom. v. 6.) "For I deli vered unto you, first of all, that which also I received, how that Christ died for our tins, according to

the Scriptures:" (1 Cor. xv. 3.) "Even as the
