74   In closing our critique on this pamphlet, we shall, once of all, refer to the practice of the insurgents with regard to the word used for God. Having compared all the books printed by them, and brought by the Hermes from Nanking, we have drawn up the following list of the number of instances in which they have used words bearing any affinity to Shang-te, and T'heen for God; as contrasted with those in which they have employed Shin for God, or gods. We have also adduced the instances in which other terms are employed to designate the Lord of all, besides those that have any relation to either Shang-te or Shin; and we close our list by showing in how many cases the word Shin is used for angel, genii, and spirits.
