[Our correspondent will find much that is to his purpose, both in
the way of statements and of reference {187} to original
authorities, in Lardner's _Jewish and Heathen Testimonies_, chap.
xiii. of the Heathen Authors; vol. ii. p. 125. of the original 4to.

_High-Doctrine_.--In the Cambridgeshire fens there are a great
number of Dissenters, and I believe Cromwell's Ironsides were
chiefly recruited from those districts. On the higher lands
adjoining are the old parish churches; and in conversation it is not
uncommon to hear the tenets of the Church of England described as
_High land Doctrine_, in contra-distinction to the _Low land_, or
Dissenters' doctrine.
The thing is amusing, if nothing else, and I heard it while staying
some few years ago with my brother, who lives on the edges of the
Cambridgeshire fens.
