HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
[To no EDITOR Or Tar .1321.-1 Sni,—In Baker's Chronicle, under the year 1660, I find the following pa eeege. After detailing the exceptions from Charles's Act of Indemnity of that year, Sir Richard adds
"This last exception, as to the Churches in Wales, was inserted by the Parliament in this A-ct, upon Information, that some Factious People had, in the time of the late Usurpation, procured to themselves an Authority to Sequester all those Revenues, upon pretence to employ them more equally to illiterate Preachers, for the better propagation of the Gospel in those parts, but kept the greatest part to their own use, leaving most of the Churches unsupplied."
History indeed repeats itself. "For their own use" we need only substitute "for secular use," and it might almost have
been written to-day.—I am, Sir, &c., 11. S. CRAWLEY
