This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover.

One  volume^  odavo.    812  pp.    Priee^  doth,  $S,00. 


Thb  Ponn.AB  Biblical  Ctclopjedia  or  Litbbatubb  Is  dednied  to  (brnish  a  Dictioxabt  or  thb  Biblk,  em 
oodjring  the  products  of  the  beet  and  most  recent  researches  in  biblical  literature,  in  which  the  scholars  of  Europt 
and  America  have  been  engaged.  The  work,  the  result  of  immense  labor  and  research,  and  enriched  by  the  contri 
outions  of  writers  of  distinguished  eminence  in  the  various  departments  of  sacred  literature,  has  been,  by  universal 
consent,  pronounced  the  best  work  of  its  class  extant,  and  the  one  best  suited  to  the  advanced  knowledge  of  the 
present  day  in  all  the  studies  connected  with  theological  science. 

This  work,  condensed  by  the  author  (torn  his  larter  work  in  two  volumes,  is  not  only  intended  for  ministers  and 
theological  students,  but  is  also  particularly  adapted  to  iMtrenls,  Sabbath-school  teachers,  and  the  great  body  of  the 
'eligious  public  It  has  been  the  author's  aim  to  avoid  unparting  to  the  work  any  color  of  teOarioM  or  deuominatiimai 
kiss.  On  such  points  of  difl^rence  among  Christians,  the  kzHorieal  mode  of  treatment  has  been  adopted,  and 
care  has  been  taien  to  provide  a  fair  account  of  the  arguments  which  have  seemed  most  otHidusive  to  the  ablest 
advocates  of  the  various  opinions.  The  pictorial  illustrations  —  amounting  to  more  than  three  hundred— «r»  of

**  Kitto's  Popular  Cyclowdia  of  Biblical  Literature ''  is  by  for  the  most  valuable  boon  presented  to  the  Christian 
public  for  many  years.  The  condensation  of  the  work,  published  by  Gould  tc  Lincoln,  at  little  more  than  a  third 
nf  the  price,  is,  what  it  professes  to  be,  a  condensation,  a  reduction,  not  of  ideas,  but  of  words,  without  in  the  sMght- 
est  decree  obscuring  the  meaning  of  the  gifted  nuthoM  whose  Joint  communications  make  up  this  verv  beautiful  and 
roost  useful  volume.  There  is  no  hazard  in  predicting  for  such  a  volume  (eight  hundred  double-columned  pa<:e<<, 
with  three  hundred  and  thirty-six  pictorial  illustratltms,  for  three  dollars !)  a  rapid  sale  and  constantlv  extending  cir- 
culMion.  J.  J.  Camithers. 

From  Rev.  W,  B,  Sprmgwe^  D.  D.,  Pa4or  ef  Second  PreebjfUrian  Chtrek,  Jllbanjft  A*.  T, 

I  have  no  hesitation  in  saying  that  I  regard  it  as  the  most  important  auxiliaiy  to  the  studv  of  the  Scripcnree,  among 
the  treat  msBs  of  people,  of  which  (  have  any  knowledge.  As  many  of  the  greatest  biblical  scholars  ot  the  age  were 
put  in  requisition  for  the  production  of  the  original  work,  so  the  substance  of  what  they  have  written  —  at  least 
nearipr  everv  thing  that  could  be  advantageously  appropriated  by  the  common  reader — has  been  admirably  preserved 
in  this  condensed  editicHi.  Every  Sabbath-school  teacher,  and  indeed  every  Christian,  who  is  able  to  do  so,  ought  to 
possess  himself  of  the  work ;  and  the  fact  that  such  a  work  is  in  existence,  may  well  be  regarded  as  one  of  the  fa- 
vorable signs  of  the  times  in  regard  to  the  progress  of  evangelical  knowledge.  W.  B.  Sprague.

Prom  Rev,  J.  B.  Waterbury^  D.  D.^  Potior  of  Bowdoin  StreH  ( QmffregationalJ  Ckurek^  BotUm, 

It  is  a  mofit  valuable  bock,  suited  to  the  wants  of  cleifyroen,  and  well  adapted  to  aid  Sabbath-school  teachers  in 
tiicir  responsible  work.  Every  family  that  can  afibrd  it,  would  do  well  U>  possess  themselves  of  so  important  tutd 
it  teresting  a  vqlume ;  to  which  they  migjit  refer  in  elucidating  the  Scriptures,  and  rendering  their  study  not  only 
[  rofiiable  but  delightfuL  J.  B.  Waterbury. 

From  Rev.  Cyrus  A.  Bartoly  Potior  qf  West  Congregatiatud  f  Unitarian  J  Ckureh,  BoHr-n, 

It  is  a  most  uscftil  and  valuable  work,  containing  very  important  information  on  subjects  of  the  highest  interest 
and  well  worthy  of  a  wide  circulation.  C.  A.  Bartol. 

From  Rev.  S.  W.  S.  Dutton^  Pastor  qf  Jforth  Congregational  Churchy  Jiem  Hoven^  Ct, 

The  Po{mlar  Cyclopedia  of  Biblical  Literature  is  admirably  adapted  to  the  use  of  parents,  teachers  of  the  young, 
and  of  the  community  generally  ;  being  a  Judicious  abridgment  of  a  larger  and  very  able  work,  written  fi^r  critical 
students  in  theology.    It  is,  in  my  Judf^ent,  altogether  the  best  book  for  the  purpose  which  has  been  published. 

S.  W.  S.  Dutton. 

From  Rev.  Z.  S.  BarstoiOj  D.  D.,  Pastor  of  Congregational  Ckurcht  Keene,  A*.  H. 

I  find  it  well  adapted  to  aeeomplisk  its  objeet.  It  brings  into  a  convenient  form,  in  a  single  volume,  what  must  b« 
■fought  f)r  in  many  volumes  without  it.  And  it  is  hereby  recommended  to  pzirents,  Sabbath-echool  teachen,  and 
uthors,  as  doing  a  good  service  in  aidmg  them  in  the  study  of  the  Scriptures.  Z.  S.  Barstow 

From  Hon,  Thomas  S.  WUliams  Harlford,  Cu 

It  Appears  to  me  to  contain  a  mass  of  information,  in  a  condensed  form,  highly  important  to  those  who  regard  the 
sacred  volume ;  and  to  Sabbath-school  teachers  it  will  prove  a  most  raluable  assistant.  I  hope  it  will  receive  an  ox- 
teiiaivo  circulation.  *  Thomas  S.  Williams. 

Firom  Rev.  Epkrahn  Ptabody^  D.  />.,  Pastor  q/*  Sior.e  Chapel  Congregational  (Unitarian)  Churchy  Boston. 

It  appears  to  contain  the  best  results  of  modem  itcholarship,  prcfcntod  in  a  clear  and  condensed  form,  and  may, 
without  hesitation,  be  recommended  as  a  valuable  work  to  families,  to  Sunday-school  teachers,  and  indeed  to  all 
readers  of  the  sacred  records.  K  Pcabody. 

From  Rev.  Baron  Stow,  D.  JD.,  Pastor  qf  Rowe  Street  Baptist  Church,  Boston. 

I  have  examined  it  with  special  and  unalloyed  satisfaction.  It  has  the  rare  merit  of  being  all  that  it  professes  to 
be ;  and  very  few,  I  am  sure,  who  may  consult  it^  will  deny  that,  in  richnesss  and  fulness  of  detail,  it  surpasses  their 
ex])ectation.  Many  mint'^tere  will  find  it  a  valuable  auxiliary  ;  but  its  chief  excellence  is,  that  it  funiishes  juf:t  the 
fncHities  which  are  needed  by  the  thousands  in  families  and  Sabbath  schools,  who  are  engaged  in  the  iiimurtant 
business  of  biblical  education.    It  is  in  itself  a  library  of  reliable  information.  Baron  Stow. 

JVom  Rev.  j9.  L.  Stone,  Pastor  qf  Park  Street  Congregational  Church,  Boston. 

I  have  fonnd  it  a  thne-saving  and  labor-saving  helper  in  investigating  the  significance  of  the  sacred  writings, 
which  I  could  never  consent  again  to  bo  without.  I  had  occasion  to  ccmnicnd  it,  a  few  days  since,  to  a  young  man 
r.f  my  people,  lately  interested  in  the  study  of  the  Scriptures,  who  desired  access  to  sources  of  knov.lcdpe  in  respect 
to  biblical  matters  beyond  what  he  possessed ;  and  this  work  seemed  to  him  iust  what  he  had  been  looking  for  in 
vain.  Penult  me  to  express  the  hope,  that  not  only  clercvmcn  and  Sabbath-school  teachers,  but  e\'ery  person  who 
would  bo  at  all  a  student  of  the  Bible,  may  avail  tlkimselves  of  thu  Judicious  and  timely  contribution  to  popularizeo 
»cred  literature.  A.  L.  Stone. 

From  Rev.  John  Richards,  D.  D.,  Pastor  qf  Congregational  Church  qf  Dartmouth  College,  Hanover,  A*.  H. 

In  my  opinion  it  is  a  verv  useful  book ;  particularly  to  heads  of  families,  Sabbath-school  teachers,  and  all  other» 
interested  m  the  study  of  the  Scriptures.  John  Richards. 

From  Rev.  Thomas  Ltwrie,  Pastor  qf  Congregational  Church,  West  Roxbury. 

I  would  heartily  recommend  it  to  all  who  wish  a  tnistworthy  compendium  of  biblical  science.  Not  to  compate  ii 
invidiously  with  other  excellent  Bible  Dictionaries,  there  is  one  excellence  of  this  work  that  must  render  it  su|>erior 
to  all  others,  and  that  is,  that  while  others  were  "^oJ  up,"  lhi«i,  If  I  may  so  express  it,  wns  ** reduced  dovm."  OtJiei 
Bible  Dictionaries  are  compilations  expressly  got  up  fur  Sabbath-school  teachers  and  Bible  cla^asos.  But  this  is  a 
work  of  much  higher  character,  the  result  of  fer  greater  labor  and  research,  prepared  originally  for  the  use  «.f  the 
most  advanced  biblical  scholars,  condensed  into  its  present  form  that  the  frtiits  of  that  labor  and  research  micht  bo 
brought  within  reach  of  a  greater  number.  Still  wo  have  the  largest  Popular  Encyclopsdia  of  strictly  Biblical  Lit- 
erature that  exists.  Some  of  the  abbreviations  also  are  decided  improvements  on  the  larger  edition.  It  is  anothei 
excellence  of  this  work,  that  it  embodies  the  most  recent  discoveries  on  the  field  of  biblical  science.  Previous  works 
of  the  kind  have,  to  too  great  an  extent,  merely  retailed  the  conjectures  of  past  ages,  and  perpetuated  their  blunders 
in  sacred  geography.  No  one  who  has  not  travelled  in  the  East,  and  consulted  them  on  the  spot,  has  any  idea  of  the 
mass  of  rubbish  they  contain.  I  know  of  nothing  better  than  the  work  before  ua.  It  fills  up  a  gap  that  has  long 
existed  in  our  helps  for  tli^  study  of  the  Sacred  Scriptures.  T.  Laurie. 

From  Rev.  J.  H.  Kennard,  Pastor  qf  Tenth  Baptist  Church,  Philadelphia. 

No  Bible  student  should  be  without  this  important  assistant.  Those  who  have  but  few  books,  will  find  in  this 
volume  the  essence  of  many  standard  works  j  and  those  wITolijive  buulittle  tinje  for  reading,  will  here  find  a  ridi 
■*—  ,f  irwnnrindfla  for  their  Immediate  use.  •**•-•.•.  J'^*  Kennaid.

A  constant  ofe  of  tbe  whole  work,  for  Mrera]  yeus,  has  led  me  to  believe  tbat  it  ia  the  best  Biblical  Dictionary  in 
the  English  languace.  The  abridgments  made  m  your  edition  do  not,  so  &r  as  I  can  jadge,  lessen  its  value  to  the 
minority  of  those  woo  need  toch  a  volume;  and  I  cordially  wish  you  success  in  your  enterprlae.  T.  S.  King.

I  feel  greathr  obliged  to  you  for  the  volume  of  Kitto  abridged.  I  have  not  had  time  to  examine  it  as  an  abriig 
nenL  I  am  free,  however,  to  speak  of  the  original,  which  I  have  had  in  use  for  several  years,  and  which  I  regard 
.  a»  an  exceedingly  valuable  work.  In  my  own  studies  it  has  superseded  all  other  works  of  a  similar  nature,  as  I 
think  it  will  wherever  it  is  known.  Albert  Barnes. 

From  Rto,  Samwd  M.  Ifbreestar,  D,  D.,  Pastor  of  the  Tabemade  (Congregational)  CftarcA,  Salem, 

I  have  a  copy  of  "  the  larcer  woric,*'  which  I  am  disposed  to  think  is  reallv  less  valuable,  and  therefore  less  wor- 
thy to  be  recommended  to  aunoet  anV  class  of  readers,  than  the  edition  which  you  now  offer  for  the  patronage  and 
the  benefit  of  the  Christian  public  Fiom  the  examination  which  I  have  been  able  to  make  of  some  important  arti- 
cles, I  shall  not  be  surprisea  if  your  edition  shall  have  a  decided  preference  with  thoee  who  desire  to  have  as  much 


wheat,  with  as  little  as  possible  both  of  chaff  or  tares.

From  John  DowUngf  D,  D.,  jtntkor  of  "  Historff  of  Romanism,^*  etc,  and  Pastor  qf  the  Broadtoay  Statist  Ckurckf 

Jfew  York* 

It  is  Incomparably  the  most  valuable  work  of  its  kind  that  has  ever  been  published  in  this  countiv,  inasmuch  as  It 
embodies,  besides  all  that  was  valuable  in  the  older  Cyclopasdies.  the  most  recent  researches  in  bibUcal  literature  of 
the  ablest  scholars,  both  in  the  old  world  and  the  new.  It  is  Just  such  a  work  as  every  minbter,  Sabbatb-echool 
teacher,  and  Christian  father  of  a  fkmilv  ou^t  to  have  constantly  at  hand,  side  by  side  with  his  Bible,  to  answer  a 
thousand  questions  which  will  constantly  occur  to  all  who  desire  to  furnish  their  own  minds  for  the  work  of  instruc- 
tion in  the  truths  of  God's  word,  and  who  study  to  show  themselves  workmen  that  need  ftot  to  be  ashamed.  I  do 
most  cordially  thank  the  enterprising  publishers  for  presentmg  this  valuable  woric  to  the  .Atnerican  public  in  so  at- 
tractive a  form,  and  sincerely  hope  they  will  be  rewarded  by  a  sale  commensurate  with  its  merits.   John  Dowling. 

From  Reo,  IF.  T,  Dwighty  D.  D.,  Pastor  of  Tkird  Parisk  Congregational  Ckurek^  Portland,  Me, 

I  regard  It  as  fkr  the  most  valuable  work  of  the  kind  which  has  been  published  in  thb  country.  The  price  of  the 
work,  which  Is  three  dollars,  is  very  reasonable  for  a  book  which  contains  so  many  engravings,  and  an  amount  of 
letter-press  sufficient  for  four  04!tavo  volumes.  W.  T.  DwighL 

From  Rev.  Oorinor  ^ring,  D.  JD.,  Pastor  of  f)^  Brick  Ckarek  Ckapd  Pre^yterian  Ckurek,  Jfew  York, 

I  am  gratified  to  express  the  opinion,  that  for  the  variety,  accuracy,  and  comprehensiveness  of  its  articles,  it  is  a 
most  vuuable  volume.  The  biblical  student,  while  he  may  not  dispense  with  other  sources  of  information,  will 
find  in  Kitto  that  which  will  save  him  no  little  time  and  labor.  Gardner  Spring. 

From  Reo,  J.  X,  WainwHgkt,  D.  D.,  Trinity  (EfiseopalJ  Chotkf  Ato  York. 

As  it  is  designed  to  be  a  book  of  reference,  I  have  turned,  on  various  occasions,  to  articles  in  all  parts  of  the  book, 
and  have  been  uniformly  saUsfled  with  the  fulness  and  accuracy  of  the  information  contained  in  them.  I  do  not 
hesitate,  therefore,  to  reconunend  the  work  as  being  well  adapted  to  the  purpose  for  which  it  was  compiled,  and  I

It  is  more  valuable.  In  my  opinion,  than  any  other  work  of  the  kind  in  reach  of  the  American  student  of  the 
Bible.  While  it  Is  an  aid  to  all,  it  seems  to  me  indispensable  to  the  minister.  It  meets  the  wants  of  tho  ace  in  this 
department  of  knowledge.  R.  £.  Patiison.

I  regard  Kitto*s  Cyclopeedia  as  vastly  superior  to  any  similar  work.  The  author  has  evidently  availed  himself  of 
(he  latest  publications,  whether  critical,  historical,  geographical,  scientific,  or  antiquarian ;  and  so  selected,  arranged, 
and  expressed  hli  topics,  as  to  make  his  work  perfectly  available  to  the  unlearned,  while  it  is  a  most  welc4>nie  aid  to 
the  scholar.    No  one  who  buys  the  book  will  regret  his  purchase.  Howard  Malcom. 

From  Rev.  R.  C  Waterston,  Pastor  of  Ckorek  of  tke  Savior,  Congregational  (Unitarian)  Ckurck,  Boston. 

I  consider  it  a  most  desirable  work  for  Sunday-school  teachers,  and  for  all  students  and  readers  of  the  Scriptures 
It  contains  a  vast  amount  of  important  information,  thoroughly  condensed  and  admirably  stated,  while  its  numerous 
engravings  (which  are  unusually  good)  often  convey  at  a  glance  a  more  vivid  and  true  idea  than  could  have  been 
given  by  pages  of  description.  Both  for  the  family  and  the  Sunday  school,  this  volume  Is  invaluable.  I  shall  cer- 
tainly recommend  it  to  others,  as  a  work  of  uncommon  merit,  and  hope  it  will  be  widely  read,  and  pass  through 
many  editions.  R.  C  Waterston.

Toar  "  Epitome,"  if  epitome  it  may  be  called,  is  a  decided  improvement  on  the  larger  woik,  inasmuch  as,  without 
materially  lessening  Its  value  as  a  source  of  information,  it  is  brought,  by  its  diminished  price,  within  the  reach  of

PREFACE  TO  THE  AMERICAN  EDITION. 


In  presenting  this  important  work  to  the  American  public,  the  present  pub- 
lishers would  call  attention  to  some  of  its  peculiar  features. 

At  first  view,  it  might  not  seem  to  differ  greatly  from  certain  other  works 
designed  to  aid  in  the  study  of  the  Bible.  On  comparing  it  with  such, 
however,  it  will  be  found  to  possess  an  essentially  original  and  distinctive 
character.  It  differs  especially,  in  some  important  particulars,  from  two 
classes  of  works  to  which  it  bears  a  general  resemblance, — the  common  Con- 
cordance and  the  Scripture  Manual  or  Topical  Text-book. 

The  design  of  the  common  G)ncordance  is  to  assist  the  student  in  find- 
ing some  passage  of  Scripture  by  means  of  a  leading  word ;  and  that  is  its 
whole  design. 

The  design  of  this  work,  on  the  other  hand,  is  to  present,  not  a  concordance 
of  words,  but  a  concordance  of  subjects.  All  those  passages  of  Scripture 
which  relate  to  one  subject  ai'e  brought  together  under  one  general  head,  and 
then  distributed  under  many  subordinate  heads. 

It  is  apparent  from  this  statement,  that  while  the  Analytical  Concordance 
essentially  differs  from,  it  in  nowise  supersedes,  the  common  Concordance ; 
each  ministers  to  a  distinct  and  independent  purpose,  but  both  are  equally 
necessary  to  the  Biblical  student. 

Again:  this  Concordance  differs  from  the  common  Manual  or  Topical 
Text-book ;  and  it  differs  in  two  important  respects.  First,  the  latter  class 
of  works  are  confined  to  theological  or  doctrinal  topics ;  the  Analytical  Con- 
cordance, on  the  contrary,  embraces  all  the  topics  which  are  naturally  sug- 
gested by  the  entire  contents  of  the  Bible.  Second,  the  Topical  Text-book 
contains  only  a  part  of  the  Bible ;  this  contains  the  whole. 

Thus,  in  all  respects,  the  Analytical  Concordance  is  more  comprehensive 
and  complete  than  the  class  of  works  with  which  it  is  here  compared. 

It  is,  in  short,  nothing  less  than  the  whole  Bible  distributed  under  appro- 
priate heads.

The  purchaser,  therefore,  gets  not  only  a  Concordance  but  also  a  Bible  in 
this  volume.  The  superior  convenience  arising  out  of  this  fact —  saving,  as 
it  does,  the  necessity  of  having  two  books  at  hand  and  of  making  two  refer- 
ences, instead  of  one  —  will  be  readily  apparent. 

Another  feature  of  the  work  that  deserves  special  notice  is  the  Synopsis, 
This  presents  to  view,  in  a  brief  compass  and  in  the  author's  own  words, 
what  in  the  Concordance  is  spread  over  many  pages  and  is  expressed  in  the 
language  of  Scripture.  It  will  be  found  of  no  small  value  in  giving  unity 
and  clearness  to  the  conceptions  of  the  student. 

In  addition  to  the  Synopsis,  there  is  also  an  Index  embracing  nearly  two 
thousand  leading  words  arranged  in  alphabetical  order. 

That  such  a  work  as  this  is  of  exceeding  great  convenience  is  matter  of 
obvious  remark.  But  it  is  much  more  than  that ;  it  is  also  an  instructive 
work.  It  is  adapted  not  only  to  assist  the  student  in  prosecuting  the  investi- 
gation of  preconceived  ideas,  but  also  to  impart  ideas  which  the  most  careful 
reading  of  the  Bible  in  its  ordinary  arrangement  might  not  suggest  Let  him 
take  up  any  one  of  the  subjects  —  Agriculture,  for  example  —  and  see  if 
such  be  not  the  case.  This  feature  places  the  work  in  a  higher  grade  than 
that  of  the  common  Concordance.  It  shows  it  to  be,  so  to  speak,  a  woit  of 
more  mincU 

There  is  but  one  other  work  in  our  language  prepared  on  the  same  general 
plan  as  this,  and  of  that  the  author  has  sufficiently  spoken  in  his  preface.  It 
need  only  be  remarked,  that  while  irom  what  is  there  said  this  work  appears 
to  be  every  way  superior  to  that,  it  is  offered  to  the  public  at  much  less  cost 


All  classes  and  conditions  of  people  will  iind  this  Concordance  specially 
adapted  to  their  necessities.    It  is  equally  adapted  to  assist  — 

Clergymen  and  Theological  Students ; 

Sabbath  school  Superintendents,  Teachers,  and  Bible  Classes ; 

Authors  engaged  in  the  composition  of  religious,  and  even  secular  works ; 
and,  in  fine. 

Common  readers  of  the  Bible,  who  have  no  other  end  in  view  than  their 
own  personal  improvement

AUTHOR'S   PREFACE. 


This  is  the  third  of  a  Series  of  Biblical  Works  designed  for  poptdar  study, 
specially  for  the  use  of  Sabbath  School  Teachers,  and  generally  for  domestic  reading 
and  instruction.  Occupying,  as  I  do,  a  double  position  in  the  Church, — that  of  a 
Pastor,  and  that  of  a  Teacher  of  Theology, — I  have  humbly  endeavored  to  suit  my 
literary  labors  to  this  twofold  ftmction.  As  a  Professor  in  a  Theological  Seminary, 
I  have  given  to  the  world  some  treatises  of  an  Academic  character;  but,  as  a 
Minister,  I  have  greatly  rejoiced  in  the  opportunity  of  pulSishing  other  Works  of 
less  pretenfflon,  but  of  Hax  wider  circulation,  adapted  in  some  measure  to  our 
homes  and  schools.^ 

This  Volume  at  once  explains  its  own  nature.  It  is  an  attempt  so  to  classify 
Scripture  under  separate  heads  as  to  exhaust  its  Contents.  The  reader  will  find 
under  the  respective  Articles  or  Sections  what  the  Bible  says  on  the  separate 
subjects  in  relation  to  Doctrine,  Ethics,  and  Antiquities. 

Now,  the  construction  of  such  a  work  is  somewhat  difficult  There  are  verses 
which  possess  no  distinctive  character,  and  it  is  hard  to  select  a  place  for  them,  for 
one  Compiler  might  put  them  in  one  Section,  and  his  successor  might  change  them 
to  another.  Many  verses  contain  two  antagonistic  statements,  truth  and  error  in 
contrast,  or  truth  delivered  in  a  negative,  and  positive  form;  and,  therefore,  no 
matter  where  such  a  verse  is  quoted,  one  half  of  it  does  not  and  cannot  belong  to 
the  Chapter  under  which  it  is  found.  To  divide  such  verses  is  often  impossible,  for 
there  would  be  left  an  imperfect  statement,  the  necessary  verb  or  full  syntax  being 
in  the  other  portion.    Then  interpretation  is  so  far  involved,  that  it  depends  upon

AUTHORS    PREFACE. 


the  sense  assigned  to  a  verse  whether  it  shall  be  ranged  or  not  among  the  proofs  of 
a  doctrine  or  theological  tenet,  and  there  is  often  room  for  difference  of  opinion. 
Besides,  in  spite  of  every  attention,  one  will  find  that  some  important  verse  may 
have  been  omitted  or  misplaced.  Another  difficulty  is  to  determine  how  many 
Heads  shall  be  employed,  so  as  to  classify  and  place  under  them  the  entire  Scrip- 
ture. Such  works  as  those  of  Gaston,  Warden,  and  Clarke,  only  take  up  special 
subjects,  and  therefore  do  not  necessitate  such  a  calculation.  •  But  if  you  mean  to 
comprehend  the  Bible,  you  must  contrive  that  under  a  definite  number  of  Headings 
its  various  verses  shall  be  apportioned.  If  these  be  too  few,  then  there  must  be 
straining  and  manoeuvre ;  if  too  many,  the  reader's  attention  is  distracted,  and  one 
great  purpose  of  the  Book  b  lost.  Thus  Talbot  (and  West  afler  him)  has  a  Chap- 
ter called  "  Metaphysics,"  a  name  unbiblical  both  in  spirit  and  form,  and  under 
jt  he  classes  subjects  so  different  as  Angels  and  Devils,  Heaven  and  Hell.  Talbot 
has  another  Chapter,  named  "  Conflicts,"  a  very  vague  title,  comprising  some 
paragraphs  for  which  an  appropriate  place  could  not  elsewhere  be  very  readily 
found,  and  West,  of  course,  simply  reprints  it  Indeed,  in  all  Works  of  tHis  nature, 
there  must  be  not  a  little  that  is  matter  of  taste,  rather  than  of  precision  in  the 
arrangement. 

Our  Work  is  based  on  that  of  Talbot,^  and  we  honestly  award  him  the  credit  of 
the  original  production.  But  it  is  not  a  New  Edition  of  Talbot,  such  as  that  which 
West  has  recently  given  in  his  own  name.  What  we  mean  is,  that  Talbot's  Collec- 
tion suggested  the  idea,  and  has  guided  us  both  in  Sections  and  Verses ;  so  that  if  he 
has  selected  the  right  verses  in  any  place,  we  take  them.  Indeed,  from  the  nature 
of  the  Work,  this  imitation  or  similarity  cannot  be  avoided.  If  the  original  Compiler 
gives  every  verse  on  a  subject,  a  subsequent  Editor,  if  he  do  not  take  the  same 
verses,  will  be  either  defective  or  erroneous  in  his  citations.  Still,  in  almost  every 
Section,  we  have  been  obliged  to  add,  or  subtract,  or  change.  Talbot  has  thirty 
general  Headings,  we  have  forty-two.  Yet  we  do  not  claim  the  merit  of  a  wholly 
new  production ;   for,  certainly,  had  we  not  been  preceded  by  Talbot,  we  should

never  have  entered  upon  the  Work  at  att.  We  say  Talbot,  and  not  West;  for 
West  is  but  a  reprint  of  Talbot,  with  an  imperfect  Index,  and  a  few  elight  variations, 
by  no  means  so  numerous  as  those  found  in  many  a  Second  Edition  of  a  Book. 

Dr.  West  says  that  his  Work  is  based  on  that  of  "  the  learned  Talbot"  The  lan- 
guage is  fitted  to  mislead,  for  his  Octavo  is  simply  Talbot's  Quarto,  with  a  somewhat 
different  arrangement  of  «  Books.**  The  epithet  of  "  the  learned  Talbot  **  seems  to 
suggest  that  Talbot  belonged  to  one  of  the  Professions,  as  they  are  called.  Now, 
Matthew  Talbot  was  a  worthy  layman  of  Leeds,  a  currier  by  trade,  a  good  man,  of 
high  independence,  and  of  patient  and  indomitable  energy..  His  ^  Analysis  "  was 
the  result  of  the  quiet  and  persistent  study  of  many  years,  and  certainly  verifies  one 
of  his  own  quaint  and  common  sayings :  "  I  can  honor  any  Draft  drawn  on  the  Bank 
of  Patience."  Mr.  Talbof  s  daughter  was  married  to  Bsdnes,  the  eminjBnt  printer. 
The  old  man's  generq^sity  and  patriotism,  his  learning  and  talents,  his  hearty,  k)ve  of 
the  truth,  and  adherence  to  it  at  all  hazards,  yet  survive  among  his  grandchild^n,  and 

0 

one  of  them,  the  Bight  Honorable  Matthew  Talbot  Baines,  raised  by  personal  merit  to 
his  high  position,  is,  at  this  moment,  a  Member  of  her  Majesty's  Cabinet  '  It  isj  there* 
fore,  with  regret,  that  we  find  his  Book,  with  but  a  very  slight  disguise,  published  in 
America  as  Wesf  s,  and  it  is  with  indignation  that  we  see  it  openly  plagiarized  and 
reprinted  without  evelL.  his  name  at  all,  and-  that  so  recently  as  in  London,  1848. 
T^s  last  and  unblushing  appropriator  of  Talbot  has  adopted  the  meaningless  title 
of*the  «  Analogy  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments  Systematically  Classified."^  What 
is  worse,  he  is  so  audacious  as  to  say  in  his  Preface :  **  This  Work  has  been  for 
many  years  a  labor  of  love  to  the  Author."  Surely,  if  such  a  plagiarism  of  a 
common  Author  is  usually  branded  as  dishonesty,  then,  coupled  with  such  a  .state- 
ment, and  in  reference  to  the  Word  oi  Truth  itself,  one  is  apt  to  call  it  by  the 
harder  name  of  profanity. 

The  Work,  then,  is  simply  Scripture  printed  under  classified  heads.  Thus,  to 
take  the  first  Article, "  Agriculture,"  the  reader  will  ascertain  under  it  what  is 
said  in  Scripture  as  to  the  Land  and  Farms  of  Canaan,  the  processes  of  Husbandry,

snch  as  Ploaghing,  Sowing,  and  Reaping,  &c,  and  the  alladons  to  them  contained 
in  the  Prophets  and  in  the  Parables  of  our  Lord,  with  much  more  of  similar  import 
Talbot  and  West  only  use  a  verse  once,  and  therefore  some  of  their  Sections  are 
brief  and  scanty ;  on  the  other  hand,  we  have  repeated  many  verses  twice,  thrice, 
and  oftener,  our  only  limit  being  the  fear  of  too  large  a  Volume.  Great  care  has 
been  taken  to  secure  accuracy  of  reference,  and  every  verse  has  been  turned  up, 
and  verified  by  young  eyes  and  fingers  in  the  retirement  of  a  rural  Manse.  The 
technical  labor  of  preparing  copy  has  been  performed  by  one  whose  relationship  to 
the  Editor  gave  her  a  filial  interest  in  the  daily  and  protracted  task.  The  Work  is 
enriched  with  a  very  fidl  Index,  prepared  with  characteristic  accuracy  by  a  firiend 
whose  labors  in  a  similar  field  we  have  elsewhere  acknowledged.  Another  peculiar 
advantage  will  be  found  in  the  prefixed  Synopsis,  which  is  so  constructed  that  it 
may  be  read  continuously,  and  it  will  be  found  to  exhibit  a  bird's  eye  view  of  Biblical 
Antiquities  and  Theolegy.  By  the  employment  of  Synopas  and  Index,  every  subject 
of  Scripture  may  be  easily  turned  up,  and  fiill  information'speedily  obtained.  In  fine, 
while  our  Book  will  save  time  and  trouble  to  the  inquirer,  yet  we  counsel  the  con- 
tiniK)us  consultation  of  the  Scriptures  themselves,  and  of  the  verses  in  their  original 
connection.  For  there  is  a  living  unity  in  the  Bible  amidst  all  its  diversity,  and  it 
is  with  it  as  with  the  minerals  of  the  globe,  which  present  a  more  glorious  order  in 
the  respective  positions  in  which  nature  has  placed  them,  than  when  artificially 
arranged  on  the  shelves  of  a  cabinet  With  all  the  imperfections  of  this  volume, 
and  they  belong  more  or  less  to  every  compilation  of  the  kind,  we  hope  that  it  may 
be  found  to  be  really  usefiil,  that  the  Divine  blesdng  may  accompany  it,  and  that  it 
may  meet  with  that  cordial  and  extended  welcome  which  has  been,  and  sdll  is,  so 
kindly  vouchsafed  to  its  two  predecessors. 


The  Dash  so  often  introduced,  is  designed  to  pmnt  out  some  difierences  in  the 
Verses  following  it,  such  as  Allusions  and  Examples,  or  Instances  and  Statements, 
adduced  as  contrasts  to  the  Verses  of  the  Topic  or  Section  printed  above  it

PERSECUTION. 


psBSBounoir, 

SpriDgiDg  from  hatred  of  the  lighteotn,  bnt 
foreUMd  and  expected,  often  keen  and  rever- 
ing natural  affection,  ton  against  father— 
Christ  and  his  Aftostlea  warning  tho  churches 
of  coming  tribukuion, 

TABI0IT9  FORICS  Of  IT, 

Bldicnle,  ^Kizma-*tocifc— hatred— outrage— con- 
spiraciea— tooA;  ooitriKl  to  A;(7{— stimulating 
others  to  violence — as  against  Jeremiah  and 
against  Paul— judicial  process— preaching  si- 
lenced as  in  case  of  Jeremiah  ajid  Apostles- 
fines— imprisonment— scourging  —excommu- 
nication, exile — death  by  sword— James  killed 
by  Herod— by  stoning^  and  in  Yanotis  other 
wajs— 40^ A  asunder^ 


VARIOUS  PLEAS  FOE  PERSECUTION, 

Defaming  the  apostles  as  disaffected— Elijah 
accused  also  of  disafifection  —  persecutors 
imagining  that  they  are  doing  Qhdserviu — > 
Apostles  represented  as  tiouble&omo— thek 
enemi^^-oft^  refeired  ta 

PERSECUTION  DEFEATIKO  ITS  OWN  END, 

The  apostles  and  early  church  waxing  bolder, 
and  when  scattered oXixoA^  diffusing  the  gospel; 

gersecution  forbidden  by  God,  and  punished 
y  Him— blood  required  —  they  shed  blood, 
and  they  must  drink  blood;  sufferers  supported 
by  God — blessed,  inspirited,  and  clotued  at 
length  in  white  robes — suffer  with  him,  reign 
with  him— ^  be  avoided  however— persecuted 
in  one  cits— flee  ye  into  ono/A^r- remarkahle 
deliverances  celebrated  in  Scxipture. 


PRAISE  AND  PRAYER 


PBAXSa. 

Offered  to  God  alone,  as  alone  worthy  of  it, 
and  as  the  one  benefactor— offered  to  Hiniby 
angels,  by  saints,  by  all — by  every  thing  that  hath 
being;  on  earth,  in  public  worship,  in  the  con- 
gregation, and  in  heaven-^allelmab. 

BSA80N8  0?  PRAIS& 

It  is  good  —  for  his  mercy  —  his  providence, 
miohfy  acts—iox  Christ  and  his  blessings— /A« 
unspeakable  gift— tor  prayers  heard— for  daily 
mercies,  more  in  manoer  them  the  sand,  for  si)e- 
cial  mercies,  as  bv  Abraham,  Jethro,  Hannah, 
etc. — for  public  blessings— for  success  in  war, 
victory  gotten  by  hii  right  hand  and  fioly  arm. 

PRAI8B  NOW  AND  FOR  EVER. 

Seven  times  a  tfoy— doxologies  in  Scripture- 
public  processions  of  praise.in  vaUeyofBerachah, 
and  at  rebuilding  of  Jerusalem— two  great 
companies— one  ever  against  the  other^  praising 
God. 

PRATER, 

Commanded  without  ceasing— ^e  example  in 
our  Lord's  prayer— forms  of  prayer— wwn  repe- 
titions. 

SEASONS, 

Morning,  noon,  evening,  midnight;  place, 
anywhere — Jeremiah  in  dungeon^  Jonah  in 
wnalt*s  beUy;  postttre,  kneeling,  bowing,  and 
prostration. 

CONFESSION, 

Kecessary,  as  the  expression  of  genuine  peni> 
fence— I  have  sinned— many  instances  and 
records  ctf  it  in  Scriptures,  as  in  Ezra,  Nehe- 


miah,  Joshua,  and  Daniel;  dn  confessed  to 
others  as  Achan  to  Joshua— «o;7/eM  your  faults 
one  to  another. 

PETITION, 

Based  upon  the  promises-^upon  providence 
—upon  the  divine  goodness— upon  the  divine 
justice.  Lord  hear  the  right— upon  the  divine 
glory— upon  confidence  in  God  and  relation 
to  Him,  in  Thee  is  my  trmt. 

INTERCESSION, 

Commanded /or  all  saints— 9ome  instances  of 
it,  as  in  Moses,  Eli,  Job — some  exceptions — 
pray  not  thou  for  this  people — the  sin  unto  death 
not  to  be  prayed  for— intercession  requested 
by  Pharaoh — ^intercession  for  ministers  of  the 
gospel — pray  for  us — for  saints — for  family 
{fee  under  family)- for  our  country  — Wm* 
thine  inheritance;  in  public  distress,  for  victory 
—command  deliverances  for  Jacob. 

EARNEST  DESIRE  OF  BEINQ  HEARD, 

Importance  of  prayer—^  is  good  unto  them  that 
wait  for  Aim— its  value  often  experienced,  from 
the  time  of  Seth  to  that  of  Pentecost  and  the 
Apostlea— omission  of  prayer  a  €\n—restraintng 
prayer;  once  forbidden  by  a  human  law,  whicli 
Daniel  disregarded. 

DIVINE  PROMISE  TO  HEAR  PRATER. 

Azk  and  it  shall  be  given;  conditions  of  being 
heard,  sinceritv,  fervour,  and  faith;  hope  of 
being  heard — the  Lord  will  Aatt— sprayers  beard 
in  many  recorded  instances  —  prayers  not 
heard,  and  reason  given— if  I  regard  iniquity 
in  mine  heart,  the  Lord  vhU  not  hear  me.

JAmt.  xzTi,  62-66.  And  the 
LoBD  8pake  nnto  Moms,  m,j\ng, 
Unto  these  the  land  sludl  be  di- 
Tided  for  an  inheritance  accord- 
hig  to  the  number  of  names.  To 
many  thoa  slialt  sire  the  more 
inheritance,  and  to  few  thon  shalt 
giro  the  less  inheritance:  to  every 
one  shall  his  Inlieritance  be  given 
acoordhig  to  those  that  were 
numbered  of  him.  Notwlthstand- 
Ing  the  land  shall  be  divided  by 
lot:  according  to  the  names  of  the 
tribes  of  their  fiUhers  they  shall 
inherit.  According  to  the  lot  shall 
the  possession  thereof  be  divided 
between  many  and  few. 

Ifum,  ixxUl,  68,  64.  And  ye 
shall  dispossess  Me  tfiAoftttofiteo/ 
the  land,  and  dwell  therein:  for  I 
have  given  you  the  land  to  pos- 
sess it.  And  ye  sliaU  divide  the 
land  by  lot  for  an  inheritance 
among  your  fiunllies :  and  to  the 
more  ye  stiall  give  the  more  in- 
heritance, and  to  the  fewer  ye 
shall  give  the  less  inheritance: 
every  manrs  inheritance  shall  be 
in  the  place  where  his  lot  falleth; 
according  to  the  tribes  of  yonr 
fiUhers  ye  shall  inherit 

Jo«;ktiaziv,l-6.  And  these  ore 
the  eowUries  which  the  chQdren 
of  Israel  inherited  in  the  land  of 
Canaan,  which  Eleazar  the  priest, 
and  Joshua  the  son  of  Nun,  and  the 
heads  of  the  fltthers  of  the  tribes 
of  the  children  of  Israel,  distri- 
buted for  inheritance  to  them.  By 
lot  was  their  inheritance,  as  the 
Loan  commanded  by  the  hand  of 
Moses,  for  the  nine  tribes,  and  for 
the  half  tribe.  For  Moses  had 
given  the  inheritance  of  two  tribes 
and  an  half  tribe  on  the  other  side 
Jordan:  but  unto  the  Levites  he 
gave  none  inheritance  among 
them.  For  the  children  of  Joseph 
were  two  tribes,  Manasseh  and 
Ephralm:  therefore  they  gave  no 
part  nnto  the  Levites  in  the  land, 
save  cities  to  dweU  in,  with  their 
■obnrbi  for  thehr  cattle  and  for 


their  substance.  At  the  Lobd 
oummanded  Moses,  so  the  chll- 
dr«;D  of  Israel  did,  and  they  divided 
the  land. 

Joshua  zviU,  10.  And  Joshua 
cost  lots  for  them  in  Shiloh  before 
the  Lord:  and  there  Joshua  di- 
vided the  land  unto  the  children 
of  Israel  according  to  their  divi- 
sions. 

JoBh.  xlx.  6L  These  are  the 
inheritances,  which  Eleazar  the 
priest,  and  Joshua  the  son  of  Nun, 
and  the  heads  of  the  others  of 
the  tribes  of  tb»  children  of  Israel, 
divided  for  an  inheritance  by  lot 
in  Shiloh  before  the  Lord,  at  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation. So  they  made  an  end 
of  dividing  the  country. 

TENUBB. 

Lev.  zxT,  18-17.  In  the  year  of 
this  Jubilee  ye  shall  return  everr 
man  unto  his  possession.  And  tf 
thou  sell  ought  unto  thy  neigh- 
bour, or  buyest  ought  of  thy  neigh- 
bours hand,  ye  shall  not  oppress

thou  Shalt  buy  of  thy  neighbour, 
and  according  unto  the  number 
of  years  of  the  fhilts  he  shall  sell 
unto  thee:  According  to  the  mul- 
titude of  years  thou  shalt  increase 
the  price  thereof,  and  according 
to  the  fewness  of  years  thou  shalt 
diminish  the  price  of  it:  for  ac- 
cording to  the  number  q^  the 
veare  of  the  fHiits  doth  he  sell 
unto  thee.  Te  shall  not  therefore 
oppress  one  another;  but  thou 
Shalt  fiBar  thy  Ood:  for  I  <I8I  the

the  land  of  your  possession  ye 
shall  grant  a  redemption  for  the

Unoome  to  redeem  it,  then  shall

the  years  of  the  sale  thereof,  and 
restore  the  overplus  unto  the  man 
to  whom  he  sold  it;  that  he  may

then  that  which  is  sold  shall  re-

all  the  Israelites  went  down  to 
the  Philistines,  to  sharpen  every

And  he  said  unto  him,  Go  back

I  will  say  to  the  reapers,  Gather 
ye  together  first  the  tares,  and 
bind  them  in  bundles  to  bum 
them:  but  gather  the  wheat  Into 
my  bam. 

Matth.  xill,  86-43.  Then  Jesus 
sent  the  multitude  away,  and 
went  into  the  house:  and  his  dis- 
ciples came  unto  him,  saying,  De- 
clare unto  us  the  parable  of  the 
tares  of  the  field.  He  answered 
and  said  unto  them,  He  that  soweth 
the  good  seed  is  the  Son  of  man; 
The  field  is  the  world;  the  good 
seed  are  the  children  of  the  king- 
dom; but  the  tares  are  the  chil- 
dren oi  the  wicked  one;  The 
enemy  that  sowed  them  Is  the 
devil:  the  harvest  is  the  end  of  the 
worlo;  and  the  reapers  are  the  an- 
gels. As  therefore  the  tares  are 
gathered  and  burned  In  the  fire; 
so  shall  it  be  in  the  end  of  this 
world.  The  Son  of  man  Bhail  send 
forth  his  angels,  and  they  shall 
gather  out  of  his  kingdom  all 
things  that  oflend,and  them  which 
do  iniquity;  And  shall  cast  them 
into  a  furnace  of  fire:  there  shall 
be  walling  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 
Then  shall  the  righteous  shine 
forth  as  tho  sun  in  the  kingdom  of 
their  Father.  Who  hath  ears  to 
hear,  let  him  hear. 

Mark  iv,  26-29.  And  he  said.  So 
is  the  kingdom  of  Ood,  as  if  a  man 
should  cast  seed  into  the  ground; 
And  should  sleep,  and  rise  night 
and  day,  and  the  seed  should 
spring  and  grow  up,  he  knowoth 
not  how.  For  the  eaf  th  brlngeth 
forth  fruit  of  herself;  first  the 
blade,  then  the  ear,  after  that  the 
full  com  in  the  ear.  But  when 
the  fruit  b  brought  forth,  immed- 
iately he  putteth  In  the  sickle, 
because  the  harvest  is  come. 

lAike  X,  2.  Therefore  said  he  un-

but  the  lalwurersarcfew:  pray  ye 
therefore  the  Lord  of  tho  harvest, 
that  he  would  send  forth  labourers 
Into  liis  harvest. 

Jo?m  Iv,  85-88.  Say  not  ye.  There 
are  yet  four  months,  and  then 
cometh  harvest?  behold,  I  say  un- 
to you,  Lift  up  your  eyes,  and 
look  on  the  fields:  for  they  are 
white  already  to  harvest.  And 
he  that  reapeth  recelveth  wages, 
and  gathereth  fruit  unto  life  eter- 
nal: that  both  he  that  soweth  and 
he  that  reapeth  may  rejoice  to- 
gether. And  herein  is  that  sa>ing 
trae,  One  soweth,  and  aiiother 
reapeth.  I  sent  you  to  reap  that 
whereon  ye  bestowed  no  laboun 
other  men  laboured,  and  ye  are 
entered  Into  their  labours.

the  cries  of  them  which  have 
reaped  are  entered  into  the  ears 
of  the  Lord  of  Sabaoth. 

James  V,  7.  Be  patient  therefore,

Son  of  man,  having  on  his  head  a 
golden  crown,  uid  in  his  hand  a 
sharp  sickle.  And  another  angel 
came  out  of  the  temple,  crying 
with  a  loud  voice  to  him  that  sat 
on  the  doud,  Thrust  in  thy  sickle, 
and  reap:  for  the  time  is  come  for 
thee  to  reap;  for  the  harvest  of  the

Whose  damsel  is  this?  And  the 
sorrant  that  was  set  over  the

the  Moabitlsh  damsel  that  came 
back  with  Naomi  out  of  the  coun- 
try of  Moab:  And  she  said,  I  pray 
yon,  let  me  glean  and  gather  after 
the  reapers  among  the  sheaves:  so 
she  came,  and  hath  continued  even 
from  the  morning  until  now,  that 
site  tarried  a  little  hi  the  house.- 
Then  said  Boaz  unto  Ruth,  Hear-

neither  go  from  hence,  but  abide 
here  fast  by  my  maidens:  Let  thine

And  she  sat  beside  the  reapers: 
and  he  reached  her  porched  com, 
and  she  did  eat,  and  was  sufficed, 
and  loft.  And  when  she  was  risen 
up  to  glean,  Boaz  commanded  his 
young  men,  saying,  Let  her  glean 
even  among  the  sheaves,  and  re- 
proach her  not:  And  let  &11  also

for  her,  and  leave  tJitm,  that  she 
may  glean  them,  and  rebuke  her 
not.  So  she  gleaned  In  the  field 
until  even,  and  beat  out  that  she 
had  gleaned:  and  it  was  about  an 
ephab  of  barley.  And  she  took  U 
up,  and  went  into  the  city:  and  her 
mother  in  law  saw  what  she  had 
gleaned:  and  she  brought  forth, 
and  gave  to  her  that  she  had  re- 
served after  she  was  sufficed. 
And  her  mother  In  law  said  unto 
her,  Where  hast  thou  gleaned  to 
day-?  and  where  wroughtest  thou? 
blessed  be  he  that  did  take 
knowledge  of  thee.  And  she 
riiewed  her  mother  In  law  with

and  they  shall  drink  water  by

That  they  may  want  bread  and

I>TSTAKCE8  OF  FAMINE. 
IN  THE  DAYS  OP  ABRAHAM 
Otn,  xll,  10.  And  there  was  a 
famine  In  the  land:  and  Abram 
went  down  Into  Egyin  to  sojourn 
there;  for  the  fomlue  vxis  grievous 
In  the  land. 

OP  ISAAC. 
Oen.  xxvl,  1.  And  there  was  a 
ftmlne  In  the  land,  beside  the 
first  famine  that  was  In  the  days 
of  Abraham.  And  Isaac  went 
unto  Ablmelech  king  of  the  Phllls- 
tlnea  unto  Qerar. 

OP  JOSEPH. 

Gen.  xli,  28-32.  This  is  thething 
which  I  liave  spoken  unto  Pha- 
raoh: What  God  ia  about  to  do  he 
sheweth  uuto  Pharaoh.  Behold, 
there  come  seven  years  of  great 
plenty  throughout  all  the  land  of 
Egypt:  And  there  shall  arise  after 
them  seven  years  of  famine;  and 
all  the  plenty  shall  be  forgotten  in 
the  land  of  Egypt;  and  the  famine 
shall  consume  the  land;  And  the 
plenty  shall  not  be  known  In  the 
land  by  reason  of  that  fkunine 
following;  for  it  shaU  he  very 
grievous.  And  for  that  the  dream 
was  doubled  unto  Pharoah  twice; 
U  is  because  the  thing  is  estab- 
lished by  God,  and  God  will 
shortly  bring  it  to  pass. 

Oen.  xU.  63-66.  And  the  seven 
years  of  ptentcousness,  that  was  in 
the  land  of  Egypt,  were  ended. 
And  the  seven  years  of  death  be- 

Sn  to  come,  according  as  Joseph 
d  said:  and  the  dearth  was  in 
all  lands;  but  in  all  the  land  of 
Egypt  there  was  bread.  And 
when  all  the  land  of  Egypt  wad 
famished,  the  people  cried  to 
Pharaoh  for  bread:  and  Pharaoh 
said  unto  all  the  Egyptians,  Go 
unto  Joseph;  what  he  salth  to 
you,  do.  And  the  famine  was  over 
all  the  face  of  the  earih:  And 
Joseph  opened  all  tlie  storehouses, 
and  sold  unto  the  Egyptians;  and 
the  famine  waied  sore  In  the  land 
of  Egypt. 

Gtn.  xlvii.  18-20.  And  there  ioas 
no  bread  In  all  the  land;  for  the 
fkmine  vxu  very  sore,  so  that  the 
land  of  Egypt  and  aU  the  land  of 


AOBICULTUBa 

Canaan  fklnted  by  reason  of  the 
fimiine.  And  Joseph  gathered 
up  all  the  money  that  was  found 
in  the  land  of  Egypt,  and  in  the 
land  of  Canaan,  for  the  com  which 
they  bought:  and  Joseph  brought 
the  money  Into  Pharaoh's  house. 
And  when  money  fiUIed  in  the 
land  of  Egypt,  and  in  the  land  of 
Cenaan,  all  tne  Egyptians  came 
unto  JoseptL  and  said,  Give  us 
bread:  for  why  should  we  die  in 
thy  presence?  for  the  money  Call- 
eth.  And  Joseph  said.  Give  your 
cattle;  and  I  will  give  yon  fbr 
your  cattle,  If  money  fidL  And 
they  brought  their  cattle  unto 
Joseph:  and  Joseph  gave  them 
bread  in  exchange  for  horses,  and 
for  the  fiocks,  and  fof  the  cattle  of 
the  herds,  and  for  the  asses:  and 
he  fed  them  with  bread  for  all 
their  cattle  for  that  year.  When 
that  year  was  ended,  they  came 
unto  him  the  second  year,  and 
sold  unto  him.  We  will  not  hide  it 
fh)m  my  lord,  how  that  our  money 
is  spent;  my  lord  also  hath  our 
herds  of  cattle;  there  is  not  ought 
left  in  the  sight  of  my  lord,  but 
our  bodies,  and  our  lands:  Where- 
fore shall  we  die  before  thine 
eyes,  both  we  and  our  land?  buy 
us  and  our  land  for  bread,  and  we 
and  our  land  will  be  servants  unto 
Pharaoh:  and  give  us  seed,  that 
we  may  live,  and  not  die,  that  the 
land  be  not  desolate.  And  Joseph 
bought  all  the  land  of  Egypt  for 
Pharaoh;  for  the  Egyptians  sold 
every  man  his  field,  because  the 
famine  prevailed  over  them:  so  the 
land  became  Pharaoh's. 

Acts  Tli,  11.  Now  there  came  a

those  good  years  that  come,  and 
lay  up  com  under  the  hand  of 
Pharaoh,  and  let  them  keep  food  1

which  shall  rob  you  of  your  chil-

of  ills  den,  If  he  have  taken  noth- 
ing? The  lion  hath  roared,  who 
will  not  fear?  the  Lord  God  hath 
spoken,  who  can  but  prophesy? 
Thus  saith  the  Loan;  As  the  shep- 
herd taketh  out  of  the  mouth  of 
the  lion  two  legs,  or  a  piece  of  an 
ear;  so  shoU  the  children  of  Israel

feeding  place  of  the  young  lions, 
where  the  lion,  even  the  old  lion, 
walked,  and  the  lion's  whelp,  and 
none  made  them  afraid?  The  lion 
did  tear  In  pieces  enough  for  his 
whelps,  and  strangled  for  his  lion- 
esses, and  filled  his  boles  with 
prey,  and  his  dens  with  ravin. 
Behold,  I  am  against  thee,  salth 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  I  will

called,  vxis  there  none  to  answer? 
Is  my  hand  shortened  at  all,  that 
it  cannot  redeem?  or  have  I  no 
power  to  deUver?  behold,  at  my 
rebuke  I  dry  up  the  t»ea,  I  make 
the  rivers  a  wUdomess:  their  tlsh 
stinketh,  because  there  is  no 
water,  and  dleth  for  thirst. 

Bzek.  xlvii,  d.  And  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  that  every  thing  that  liv- 
eth,  which  movetb,  whithersoever 
the  rivers  shall  come,  shall  live: 
and  there  shall  be  a  very  great 
multitude  of  fish,  because  tliose 
waters  shall  come  thithun  for 
they  shall  be  healed;  and  every 
thing  shsdl  live  whither  the  river 
cometh.

FISHING. 

Oomi,  Til,  4.  Thine  eyes  Uke  the

and  they  that  spread  nets  npon

they  shall  be  broken  in  the  pnr- 
poses  thereof,  all  that  make 
slalces  and  ponds  for  fish. 

Jer.  zTi.  16.  Behold,  I  will  send 
fbr  many  fishers,  saith  the  Loan, 
and  they  shall  fish  them;  and  after 
will  I  send  for  many  hunters,  and 
they  shall  hunt  them  lh>m  every 
mountain,  and  trom  every  hill, 
and  out  of  the  holes  of  the  rocks. 

Eiiek,  xItU,  10.  And  it  shall  come

AmoB  iv,  2.  The  Lord  Ood  hath 
sworn  by  his  holiness,  that,  lo, 
the  days  shall  come  upon  you, 
that  he  wUl  take  you  away  with 
hooks,  and  your  posterity  with 
fishhooks. 

Bob.  i,  14-17.  And  makest  men 
as  the  fishes  of  the  sea,  as  the 
creeping  things,  that  have  no  ruler 
over  them?  They  take  up  all  of 
them  with  the  angle,  they  catch 
them  in  their  net,  and  gather  them 
in  their  drag:  therefore  they  re- 
joico  and  are  glad.  Therefore 
they  sacrifice  unto  their  net,  and 
bum  incense  unto  their  drag;  be- 
cause by  them  their  portion  is  fiit, 
and  their  meat  plenteous.  Shall 
they  therefore  empty  their  net, 
and  not  spare  continually  to  slay 
the  nations? 

Matth,  iv,  18-SO.  And  Jesus, 
walking  by  the  sea  of  QaUlee,  saw 
two  bretliren,  Simon  called  Peter, 
and  Andrew  his  brother,  casting 
a  net  into  the  sea:  for  they  were 
fishers.  And  he  saith  unto  them. 
Follow  me,  and  I  will  make  you 
fishers  of  men.  And  they  straight- 
way left  their  nets  and  followed 
him. 

Matth.  xill,  AT-eo,  Again,  the 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a 
net,  that  was  cast  into  the  sea,  and 
gathered  of  every  kind:  Which, 
when  it  was  fhll,  they  drew  to 
shore,  and  sat  down,  and  gathered 
the  good  into  vessels,  but  cast  the 
bad  away.  So  shall  it  be  at  the 
end  of  the  world:  the  angels  shaU 
come  forth,  and  sever  the  wicked 
firom  among  the  just,  And  shall 
cast  them  into  the  furnace  of  fire: 
there  shall  be  wailing  and  gnash-

and  take  up  the  fish  that  first

opened  his  mouth,  thou  shalt  ftud 
a  piece  of  money:  that  take,  and 
give  unto  them  for  me  and  thee., 

Umrkl,  16-20.  Now  as  he  walk- 
ed by  the  sea  of  Galilee,  he  saw 
Simon  and  Andrew  his  brother 
casting  a  net  into  the  sea:  fbr  they 
were  fishers.  And  Jesus  said  un- 
to them.  Come  ye  after  me,  and  I 
will  make  you  to  become  fishers 
of  men.  And  straightway  they 
forsook  thehr  nets,  and  followed 
him.  And  when  he  had  gone  a 
little  fiirther  thence,  he  saw  James 
the  son  of  Zebedee,  and  John  his 
brother,  who  also  were  in  the  ship 
mending  their  nets.  Andstrai&rht- 
way  he  called  them:  and  they 
left  their  fiither  Zebedee  in  the 
ship  with  the  hhred  servants,  and 
went  after  him. 

Luke  r,  S-11.  And  saw  two 
ships  standing  by  the  lake:  but 
the  fishermen  were  gone  out  of 
them,  and  were  washing  U^eir 
nets.  And  he  entered  hito  one  of 
the  ships,  which  was  Shnon*s,  and 
prayed  him  that  he  would  thrust 
out  a  little  trom  the  land.  And 
he  sat  down,  and  taught  the  peo- 
ple out  of  the  ship.  Mow  when  he 
had  left  speaking,  he  said  unto 
Simon,  Launch  out  into  the  deep, 
and  let  down  your  nets  for  a 
draught  And  Simon  answering 
said  unto  him.  Master,  we  have 
tofied  all  the  night,  and  have  taken 
nothing;  nevertheless  at  thy  word 
I  will  let  down  the  net.  And 
when  they  had  this  done,  they  in- 
closed a  great  multitude  of  fishes: 
and  their  not  brake.  And  they 
beckoned  unto  thetr  partners, 
which  were  in  the  other  snip,  that 
they  should  come  and  help  them. 
And  they  came,  and  filled  both 
the  ships,  so  that  they  began  to 
sink.  When  Shnon  Peter  saw  it, 
he  toll  down  at  Jesus'  knees,  say- 
ing. Depart  trom  me;  for  I  am  a 
sinful  man,  0  Lord.  For  he  was 
astonished,  and  all  that  were  with 
him,  at  the  draught  of  the  fishes 
which  they  tiad  takem  And  so 
teas  also  James,  and  John,  the 
sons  of  Zebedee,  which  were 
partners  with  ^imon.  And  Jesus 
said  unto  Simon,  Fear  not;  fh>m 
henceforth  thou  shalt  catch  men. 
And  when  they  had  brought  their 
ships  to  land,  they  forsook  all,  and 
fbllowed  hhn. 

John  zxi,  3,  6,  8.  Simon  Peter 
saith  unto  them.  I  go  a  fishing. 
They  say  unto  him.  We  also  go 
with  thee.  They  went  forth,  and 
entered  into  a  snip  immediately; 
and  that  night  they  caught  noth- 
ing. And  he  said  unto  them. 
Cast  the  net  on  the  right  side  or 
the  ship,  and  ye  shall  find.  They

then  as  they  were  come  to  land, 
they  saw  a  fire  of  coals  there,  and 
fish  laid  thereon,  and  bread. 
Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Bring  of 
the  fish  which  ye  have  now 
caught.  Jesus  saith  unto  them, 
Come  and  d\nQ.  And  none  of  the 
disciples  durst  ask  him.  Who  art

of  the  flesh  i«  in  the  blood:  and  I

dilldren  of  Israel,  No  soul  of  you 
shall  eat  blood,  neither  shall  any 
stranger  that  sojoumeth  among 
you  eat  blood.  For  it  is  the  life 
of  aU  flesh;  the  blood  of  It  is  for 
the  life  thereof,  therefore  I  said 
unto  the  children  of  Israel,  Ye 
shall  eat  the  blood  of  no  manner 
of  flesh:  for  the  life  of  aU  flesh  is 
the  blood  thereof:  whosoever

J?07n.  xlv,  14-23.  I  know,  and 
am  persuaded  by  the  Lord  Jeans, 
that  there  is  nothing  nnclean  of 
Itaelf:  but  to  him  that  esteemeth 
any  thing  to  be  unclean,  to  him 
U  is  unclean.  But  If  thy  brother 
be  grieved  with  thj/  meat,  now 
walkest  thoU  not  charitably.  De- 
stroy not  him  with  thy  meat,  for 
whom  Christ  died.  Let  not  then 
your  good  be  evil  spoken  oft  For 
the  kingdom  of  God  is  not  meat 
and  drink:  but  righteousness,  and 
peace,  and  Joy  in  the  Holy  Ghost 
For  he  that  In  these  things  serv- 
eth  Christ  is  acceptable  to  God, 
and  approve<i  of  men.  Let  us 
therefore  follow  afler  the  things 
which  make  for  peace,  and  th'ngs 
wherewith  one  may  edify  another. 
For  meat  destroy  not  the  work  of 
God.  All  things  Indeed  are  pure; 
but  it  is  evil  for  that  man  who 
eateth  Avith  oCfenco.  It  is  good 
neither  to  eat  flesh,  nor  to  drink 
wine,  nor  any  thin^  whereby  thv 
brother  stumbleth,  or  is  offended, 
or  is  made  weak.  Hast  thou 
faith?  have  U  to  thyself  before 
God.  Happy  is  he  that  con- 
demneth  not  himself  In  that  thing 
which  ho  alloweth.  And  he  that 
doubteth  is  dammed  if  he  eat, 
because  he  eateth  not  of  folth: 
for  whatsoever  is  not  of  fiath  Is 
eln. 

1  (hr.  viil,  8-18.  But  meat  com- 
mendoth  us  not  to  God:  for  neither, 
if  we  eat,  are  we  the  better 
neither,  if  we  eat  not.  are  we  the 
worse.  But  take  hecu  lest  by  any 
means  this  liberty  of  your's  be- 
come a  Btnmblingblock  to  them 
that  are  weak.  For  if  any  man 
see  thee  which  hast  knowledge 
sit  at  meat  in  the  idol's  temple, 
ahall  not  the  conscience  of  him 
which  is  weak  be  emboldened  to 
eat  those  things  which  are  offered 
to  idols;  And  through  thy  know- 
ledge shall  the  weak  brother 
perish,  for  whom  Christ  died? 
But  when  ye  sin  so  against  tlie 
brethren,  find  woxmd  their  weak 
conscience,  ye  sin  against  Christ. 
Wherefore,  If  meat  make  my 
brother  to  offend,  I  will  eat  no 
flesh  while  the  world  standeth, 
lest  I  make  my  brother  to  offend. 

1  <;br.  X,  25-88.  Whatsoever  Is

Conscience.  I  say,  not  thine  own, 
but  of  the  other  for  why  Is  my 
liberty  Judged  of  another  man's

a  partaker,  why  am  I  evil  spoken 
of  for  that  for  which  I  give  thanks? 
Whether  therefore  ye  eat,  or 
drink,  or  whatsoever  ye  do,  do  all 
to  the  glory  of  God.  Give  none 
offence,  neither  to  the  Jews,  nor 
to  the  Gentiles,  nor  to  the  church 
of  God:  Even  as  I  please  all  men 
in  all  things,  not  seeking  mine

that  they  may  be  saved.

death.  If  there  be  laid  on  him  a 
sum  of  money,  then  he  shall  give

cilffibeth  up  some  other  way,  the 
same  is  a  thief  and  a  robber.  But 
he  that  entereth  in  by  the  door  is

him  the  porter  openeth;  and  the 
sheep  hear  his  voice:  and  he  call-

leadeth  them  out.  And  when  he 
putteth  forth  his  own  sheep,  he 
goeth  before  them,  and  the  sheep 
foUow  him:  for  they  know  his 
voice.  And  a  stranger  will  they 
not  fbllow,  but  will  flee  firom  him: 
for  they  know  not  the  voice  of 
strangers.  This  parable  spake

Ez^.  xxxlv,  1, 2, 4-18, 16-26, 28-

came  unto  me,  saying,  Son  of  man, 
prophesy  against  the  shepherds 
of  Israel,  prophesy,  and  say  unto 
them.  Thus  salth  the  Lord  Goo 
unto  the  shepherds:  Woe  be  to  the 
shepherds  of  Israel  that  do  feed 
themselvesl  should  not  the  shep- 
herds feed  the  flocks?  The  dis- 
eased have  ye  not  strengthened, 
neither  have  ye  healed  that  which 
was  sick,  neither  have  ye  bound 
up  that  iDhich  vxis  broken,  neither 
have  ye  brought  again  that  which 
was  driven  away,  neither  have  ye 
sought  that  which  was  lost;  but 
with  force  and  with  cruelty  have 
ye  ruled  them.  And  they  were 
scattered,  because  there  is  no  shep- 
herd: and  they  beoune  meat  to  all 
the  beasts  of  the  fleld^  when  they 
were  scattered.  My  sheep  wan- 
dered through  aU  the  mountains, 
and  upon  every  high  hilh  yea,  my 
flock  was  scattered  upon  all  the 
face  of  the  earth,  and  none  did 
seardi  or  seek  after  them.  There- 
fore, ye  shepherds,  hear  the  word 
of  tne  Lobo;  As  I  live,  salth  the 
Lord  God,  surely  because  my 
flock  became  a  prey,  and  my  flock 
became  meat  to  every  beast  of  the 
fleld,  because  there  was  no  shep- 
herd, neither  did  ray  shepherds 
so£urch  for  my  flock,  but  the  shep- 
herds fed  themselves,  and  fed  not 
my  flock;  Therefore,  O  ye  shep- 
herds, hear  the  word  of  the  Lord; 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Behold. 
I  am  against  the  shepherds;  ana 
I  will  require  my  flock  at  their 
hand,  and  cause  them  to  cease 
from  feeding  the  flock;  neither 
shall  the  shepherds  feed  them- 
selves any  more;  for  I  will  deliver 
my  flock  from  tl^ir  mouth  that 
they  may  not  bo  meat  for  them. 
For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Be- 
hold, I,  even  I,  will  both  search 
my  sheep,  and  seek  them  out. 
As  a  shepherd  seeketh  out  his 
flock  in  the  day  that  he  Is  among 
his  sheep  that  are  scattered;  so 
will  I  seek  out  my  sheep,  and  will 
deliver  them  out  of  all  places 
where  they  have  been  scattered 
in  the  doudy  and  dark  day.  And 
I  will  bring  them  out  from  the 
people,  and  gather  them  ticom  the 
countries,  and  ttill  bring  them  to 
their  own  land,  and  feed  them  up- 
on the  mountains  of  Israel  by  the 
rivers  and  in  all  the  inhabited 
places  of  the  country.  I  will  seek 
that  which  was  lost,  and  bring 
again  that  which  was  driven 
away,  and  will  bind  up  that  which 
was  broken,  and  will  strengthen 
that  which  was  sick:  but  I  will 
destroy  the  fiit  and  the  strong;  I 
will-  feed  them  with  Judgment. 
And  as  for  you.  O  my  flock,  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God;  Behold,  I 
Judge  between  catUe  and  cattle.

between  Che  rams  and  the  be- 
goats.  Seemeth  it  a  small  thing 
unto  you  to  have  eaten  up  the 
good  pasture,  but  ye  must  tread 
down  with  your  feet  the  residue 
of  your  pastures?  and  to  have 
drunk  of  the  deep  waters,  but  ye 
must  foul  the  residue  with  your 
feet?  And  as  for  my  flock,  they 
eat  that  which  ye  have  trodden 
with  your  feet;  and  they  drink 
that  which  ye  have  fouled  with 
your  feet.  Therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  unto  them;  Behold, 
I,  even  I,  will  Judge  between  the 
fat  cattle  and  between  the  lean 
cattle.  Because  ye  have  thrust 
with  side  and  with  shoulder,  and 

gushed  aU  Uie  diseased  with  your 
oms,  till  ye  have  scattered  them 
abroad;  Therefore  will  I  save  my 
flock,  and  they  shall  no  more  be  a 
prey;  and  I  will  Judge  between 
cattle  and  cattle.  And  I  will  set 
up  one  shepherd  over  them,  and 
he  shall  feed  them,  even  my  ser- 
vant David;  he  shall  feed  them, 
and  he  shall  be  their  shepherd. 
And  I  the  Lobo  will  be  their  God, 
and  my  servant  David  a  prince 
among  them;  I  the  Lobd  have 
spoken  U.  And  I  will  make  with 
them  a  covenant  of  peace,  and  will 
cause  the  evU  beasts  to  cease  out 
of  the  land:  and  they  shall  dwell 
safely  in  the  wilderness,  and  sleep 
in  the  woods.  And  I  will  make 
them  and  the  places  round  about 
my  hill  a  blessing;  and  I  will 
cause  the  shower  to  come  down 
in  his  season;  there  shall  be  show- 
ers of  blessing.  And  they  shafl 
no  more  be  a  prey  to  the  heathen, 
neither  shall  the  beast  of  the 
land  devour  them;  but  they  shall 
dwell  safely,  and  none  shall  make 
them  hTnid,  And  I  will  raise  up 
for  them  a  plant  of  renown,  and 
they  ehall  be  no  more  consumed 
with  hunger  in  the  land,  neither 
bear  the  shame  of  the  heathen  any 
more.  Thus  shall  they  know  that 
I  the  Lobd  their  God  am  with 
them,  and  that  they,  even  the 
house  of  Israel,  are  my  pedple, 
salth  the  Lord  Goo.  And  ye  my 
flock,  the  flock  of  my  pasture,  are 
men,  and  I  an  your  God,  saltb

flook  the  house  of  Judah,  and  hath 
made  them  as  his  goodly  horse  in

Zech,  xl,  8-10, 16-17.  There  U  a 
▼olce  of  the  howling  of  the  shep- 
herds; for  their  glory  Is  spoiled: 
a  Toice  of  the  roaring  of  young 
lions;  for  the  pride  of  Jordan  Is 
spoiled.  Thus  salth  the  Lord  my 
God;  Feed  the  flock  of  the  slaugh- 
ter: Whose  possessors  slay  them, 
and  hold  themselves  not  guUtjr: 
and  they  that  sell  them  say. 
Blessed  tfe  the  Loan;  for  I  am 
rich:  and  tbeir  own  shepherds 
pity  them  not.  For  I  will  no 
more  pity  the  bihabltants  of  the 
land,  salth  the  Lord:  but,  to,  I  wUl 
deliver  the  men  every  one  Into 
his  neighbour's  hand,  and  Into  the 
hand  of  his  king:  and  they  shall 
smite  the  land,  and  out  of  theh* 
hand  I  will  not  deliver  them.  And 
I  will  feed  the  flock  of  slaughter, 
even  you,  O  poor  of  the  flock. 
And  I  took  unto  me  two  staves; 
the  one  I  called  Beauty,  and  the 
other  I  called  Bands;  and  I  fed  the 
flock.  Three  shepherds  also  I  cut 
off  in  one  month;  and  my  soul 
lothed  them,  and  their  soul  also 
abhorred  me.  Then  said  I,  I  will 
not  feed  you:  that  that  dleth,  let  It 
die;  and  that  that  is  to  be  cut  off. 
let  It  be  cut  ofl(  and  let  the  rest 
eat  every  one  the  flesh  of  another. 
And  I  took  my  staff,  even  Beauty, 
and  cut  it  asunder,  that  I  might 
break  my  covenant  whidi  I  had 
made  with  all  the  people.  And 
the  LoBo  said  unto  me,  Take  unto 
thee  yet  the  Instruments  of  a  fool- 
ish shepherd.  For,  lo,  I  wUl  raise 
up  a  shepherd  in  the  land,  which 
shall  not  visit  those  that  be  cut 
off,  neither  shall  seek  the  young 
one,  nor  heal  that  that  is  broken, 
nor  feed  that  that  standeth  still, 
but  he  shaU  eat  the  flesh  of  the 
fat,  and  tear  their  claws  in  pieces. 
Woe  to  the  idol  shepherd  that 
leaveth  the  flockl  the  sword  shall 
be  upon  his  arm,  and  upon  his 
right  eye:  his  arm  shall  be  clean 
dried  up,  and  his  right  eye  shall 
be  ntteriy  darkened. 

JfattA.xvili.12,18.  How  think 
ye?  if  a  man  hath  an  hundred 
sheep,  and  one  of  them  be  gone 
astray,  doth  he  not  leave  the 
ninety  and  ntaie,  and  goeth  into 


the  monntahDa,  and  seeketh  that 
which  Is  gone  astray?  And  if  so 
be  that  he  find  it,  verily  I  say  un- 
to yon,  he  rejoiceth  more  of  that 
8he^,  than  of  the  nhiety  and 
nine  whlchirent  not  a&^ray. 

Matth,  zxv,  82.  88.  And  before 
him  shall  be  gathered  all  nations: 
and  he  shall  separate  them  one 
from  another,  as  a  shepherd  dl- 
vldeth  his  sheep  from  the  goatr. 
And  he  shaU  set  the  sheep  on  his 
right  hand,  but  th»  goats  on  the 
left. 

John  X,  7-11,  13-16,  96.  Then 
said  Jesus  unto  them  again. 
Verily,  verily,  1  say  unto  you,  I  am 
the  door  of  the  sheep.  All  that 
ever  came  before  me  are  thieves 
and  robbem:  but  the  sheep  did  not 
hear  them.  I  am  the  door,  by  me 
if  anv  man  enter  in,  he  shall  be 
saved,  and  shall  go  in  and  out,  and 
find  pasture.  The  thief  comcth 
not,  but  for  to  steal,  and  to  kill, 
and  to  destroy:  I  am  come  that 
they  might  have  life,  and  that 
they  might  have  U  more  abim- 
dantly.  I  am  the  good  shepherd: 
the  good  shepherd  giveth  his  Hie 
for  the  sheep.  The  hireling  floeth, 
because  be  is  an  hireling,  and 
careth  not  for  the  sheep.  I  am 
the  good  shepherd,  and  know  my 
«A««p,  andamknonnofmine.  As 
the  Father  knoweth  me,  even  so 
know  I  the  Father  and  I  lay 
down  my  life  for  the  sheep.  And 
other  sheep  I  have,  which  are  not 
of  this  fold:  them  also  I  must 
bring,  and  they  shall  hear  my 
voice;  and  there  shall  be  one  fold, 
and  one  shepherd.  But  ye  be- 
lieve not,  because  ye  are  not  of 
my  sheep,  as  I  said  unto  you. 

John  xxl,  15, 16.  So  when  they 
had  dined,  Jesus  salth  to  Simon 
Peter,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest 
thou  me  more  than  these?  He 
salth  unto  him.  Yea,  Lord;  thou 
knowest  that  I  love  thee.  He

MULTIPLICATIOIi. 
Oen,  XXX,  87-48.  And  Jacob 
took  him  rods  of  green  poplar, 
and  of  the  hazel  and  chesnut  tree; 
and  pilled  white  strakes  hi  them, 
and  made  the  white  appear  which 
was  hi  the  rods.  And  he  set  the 
rods  which  he  had  pilled  before 
41 


the  flocks  hi  the  gutters  hi  the 
watering  troughs  when  the  flocks 
came  to  drink,  that  they  should 
conceive  when  they  came  to  drUik. 
And  the  flocks  conceived  before 
the  rods,  and  brought  forth  catUe 
ringstraked,  speckled,  and  spott- 
ed. And  Jacob  did  separate  the 
hmibs,  and  set  the  faces  of  the 
flocks  toward  the  ringstraked.  and 
all  the  brown  in  the  flock  of  La- 
ban;  end  he  put  his  ow-n  flocks  by 
*  themselves,  and  put  them  not  un- 
to Laban's  cattle.  And  It  came  to 
pass,  whensoever  the  stronger 
cattle  did  conceive,  that  Jacob 
laid  the  rods  before  the  eyes  of 
the  cattle  hi  the  gutters,  that  they 
might  conceive  among  the  rods. 
But  when  the  catUe  were  feeble, 
he  put  them  not  In:  so  the  feebler 
were  Laban's,  and  the  stronger 
Jacob's.  And  the  man  increat^ed 
exceedingly,  and  had  much  cattle, 
and  maidservant^  and  menser- 
Tants,  and  camels,  and  asses. 

Gen.xxx\,B,d.  If  he  said  thus, 
The  speckled  shall  be  thy  wages; 
then  all  the  cattle  bare  speckled: 
and  if  he  said  thus.  The  ringstrak- 
ed shall  be  thy  biro;  then  bore 
all  the  cattle  ringstraked.  Thus 
God  hath  taken  away  the  cattle 
of  your  ffetther,  and  given  them  to 
me.

UNDER  MOSES. 
Jhtm.  xud,  1-^.  And  the  Lobd 
■pake  unto  Moses,  saylner,  Avenge 
the  children  of  Israel  of  the  Mld- 
lanltes:  afterward  shalt  thou  be 
gathered  tinto  thy  people.  And 
Moses  spake  unto  the  people, 
saying.  Arm  some  of  yourselves 
mito  the  war,  and  let  them  go 
against  the  Mldianltes,  and  avenge 
the  LoBo  of  Mldlan.  Of  every 
tribe  a  thousand,  throughout  all 
the  trlbM  of  Israel,  shall  ye  send 
to  the  war.  So  there  were  de- 
livered out  of  the  thousands  of 
Israel,  a  thousand  of  every  tribe, 
twelve  thousand  armed  for  war. 

UNDER  EHUD. 
Judges  111,  27.  And  It  came  to 
pass,  when  he  was  come,  that  he 
blew  a  trumpet  In  the  mountain  of 
Ephralm,  and  the  children  of 
Israel  went  down  with  him  from 
the  mounts  and  he  before  them. 

UNDER  GIDEON. 

Judges  vi,  a5.  And  he  sent  mes- 
sengers throughout  all  Manassch; 
who  also  was  gathcrod  after  him: 
and  he  sent  meH.songers  unto 
Asher,  and  unto  Zebulun,  and  un- 
to Naphtall;  and  they  came  up  to 
meet  them. 

Judges  vil,  1-4,  6-a  Then 
Jerubbaal,  who  if  Gideon,  and 
all  the  people  that  were  with  bim, 
rose  up  early,  and  pitched  beside 
the  well  of  Harod:  so  thai  the  host 
of  the  Mldianltes  were  on  the 
north  side  of  them,  by  the  hill  of 
Moreh,  in  the  valley.  And  the 
Loao  said  unto  Gideon,  The  peo- 
ple that  are  with  thee  are  too 
many  for  me  to  give  the  Mldian- 
ltes into  their  bauds,  lest  Israel 
vaunt  themselves  against  me, 
saying.  Mine  own  hand  hath  sav- 
ed mo.  Now  therefore  gr)  to, 
proclaim  in  the  ears  of  the  people, 
saying,  Whosoever  is  fearful  and 
afraid,  let  him  return  and  depart 
early  fh>m  mount  Gllead.  And 
there  returned  of  the  people 
twenty  and  two  thousan<^  and 
there  remained  ten  thousand. 
And  the  Lord  said  unto  Gideon, 
The  people  are  yet  too  many; 
bring  them  down  unto  the  water, 
and  I  will  try  them  for  thee  there: 
and  it  shall  be,  that  of  whom  I  say 
unto  thee,  This  shall  go  with 
thee,  the  same  shall  go  with  thee; 
and  of  whomsoever  I  say  nnto 
thee.  This  shall  not  go  with  thee, 
the  same  shall  not  go.   And  the 


number  of  them  that  lapped, 
putting  their  hand  to  their  mouth, 
were  three  himdred  men:  but  all 
the  rest  of  the  people  bowed  down 
upon  their  knees  to  drink  water. 
And  the  Lobd  said  unto  Gideon, 
By  the  three  hundred  men  that 
lapped  will  I  save  you,  and  deliver 
the  Mldianltes  \nX%  thine  hand: 
and  let  all  the  other  people  go 
every  man  unto  his  place.  So  the 
people  took  victuais  in  their 
band,  and  their  trumpets:  and  he 
sent  aU  the  rest  of  Israel  every 
man  unto  his  tent,  and  retained 
those  three  hundred  men:  and  the 
host  of  Mjdlan  was  beneath  him 
in  the  valley. 

BY  COMMAND  OF  THE 
STATES'  GENERAL. 

Judges  xx,  1, 2, 8-11,15.17.  Then 
all  the  children  of  Israel  went  out, 
uid  the  cougregation  was  gather- 
ed together  as  one  man,  from  Don 
even  to  Beer-sheba,  with  the  land 
of  Gllead,  unto  the  Lobd  in  Mlz- 
peh.  And  the  chief  of  all  the 
people,  coen  of  all  the  tribes  of 
Israel,  presented  themselves  In 
the  assembly  of  the  people  of  God, 
four  hnudred  thousand  footmen 
that  drew  sword.  And  all  the 
people  arose  as  one  man,  saying. 
We  will  not  any  <:t^  «4  go  to  his 
tent,  neither  will  we  any  of  us 
turn  Into  his  house.  But  now  this 
shall  be  the  thing  which  we  will 
do  to  Gibeah;  vje  wtll  go  up  by  lot 
against  it;  And  we  will  take  ten 
men  of  an  hundred  throughout  all 
the  tribes  of  Israel,  and  an  hun- 
dred of  a  thousand,  and  a  thou- 
sand out  often  thousand,  to  fetch 
victuals  for  the  people,  that  they 
may  do,  when  they  come  to 
Gibeah  of  Beojamln,  according  to 
all  the  folly  that  they  have 
wrought  hi  Israel.  So  all  the 
men  of  Israel  were  gathered 
against  the  city,  knit  together  as 
one  man.  And  the  children  of 
Bei\)amin  were  numbered  at  that 
time  out  of  the  cities  twenty  and 
six  thousand  men  that  drew  sword, 
beside  the  Inhabitants  of  Gibeah, 
which  were  numbered  seven  hun- 
dred chosen  men.  And  the  men 
of  Israel,  beside  Bei\)amhi,  were 
numbered  four  hundred  thousand 
men  that  drew  sword:  all  these 
were  men  of  war. 

Judges  xxi,  8-10.  And  they 
said,  What  one  is  there  of  the 
tribes  of  Israel  that  came  not  up 
to  Mizpeh  to  the  Lord?  And,  be* 
hold,  there  came  none  to  the 
camp  firom  Jabesh- gllead  to  the 
69 


assembly.  For  the  people  were 
numbered,  and,  behold,  there  toere 
none  of  the  inhabitants  of  Jabesh- 
gllead  there.  And  the  oongrega- 
tion  sent  thither  twelve  thousand 
men  of  the  valiantest,  and  com- 
manded them,  saying,  Go  and 
smite  the  inhabitants  of  Jabcsh- 
gileod  with  the  edge  of  the  sword, 
with  the  women  and  the  children. 

UNDER  THE  KINGS. 
1 8am,  xi,  i-a  Then  came  the 
messengers  to  Gibeah  of  Saul,  and 
told  the  tidings  In  the  ears  of  the 
people:  and  all  the  people  lifted 
up  thoir  voices,  and  wept.  AncL 
behold,  Saul  came  after  the  hera 
out  of  the  Hold;  and  Saul  said, 
Wliat  aftefA  the  people  that  they 
weep?  And  they  told  him  the 
tiUtor^s  of  the  men  of  Jabesh.  And 
the  spirit  of  God  came  up<m  Saul 
TThou  lie  heai*d  those  tidings,  and 
his  anger  was  kindled  greatly. 
And  he  took  a  yoke  of  oxen,  and 
hewed  them  In  pieces,  and  sent 
t.'iCtn  throughout  all  the  coasts  of 
Israel  by  the  hands  of  messengers, 
saying,  Whosoever  cometh  not 
forth  after  Saul  and  after  Samuel, 
so  shall  It  be  done  unto  his  oxen. 
And  the  fear  of  the  Lord  fell  on 
the  people,  and  they  came  out 
with  one  consent.  And  when  he 
numbered  them  In  Bczek,  the 
children  of  Israel  were  three  hun- 
dred  thousand,  and  the  men  of 
Judah  thirty  thousand. 

1  Chron.  xii,  23-89.  And  these 
are  the  numbers  of  the  bands  that 
were  ready  armed  to  the  war,  and 
came  to  David  to  llebron,  to  turn 
the  kingdom  of  Saul  to  him,  ac- 
cording to  the  word  of  the  Lobo.

Joshua  X,  1,  8-5.  Now  It  came 
to  pass,  when  Adonl-zedec  king  of 
Jerusalem  had  heard  how  Joshua 
had  taken  Ai,  and  had  utterly  de- 
stroyed it;  as  he  had  done  to 
Jericho  and  her  king,  so  he  had 
done  to  Ai  and  her  king;  and  how 
the  inhabitants  of  Gibeon  had 
made  peace  with  Israel  and  were 
among  them:  Wherefore  Adonl- 
Eedeo  king  of  Jerusalem  sent 
unto  Hoham  king  of  Hebron,  and 
unto  Plram  king  of  Jarmuth,  and 
unto  Japhla  king  of  Lachish,  and 
unto  Deblr  king  of  Eglon,  saying, 
Come  up  unto  me,  and  help  mo, 
that  we  may  smite  Gibeon:  for  it 
hath  made  peace  with  Joshua  and 
with  the  clilldron  of  Israel. 
Therefore  the  five  kings  of  the 
Amorites,  the  king  of  Jerusalem, 
the  king  of  Hebron,  the  king  of 
Jarmuth,  the  king  of  Lachish.  the 
king  of  Efflon,  gathered  them- 
selves togotJicr,  and  wont  up,  they 
and  all  their  hosts,  and  encamped 
before  Gibeon,  and  made  war 
against  it. 

Joshua  xi,  1-5.  And  It  came  to 
pass,  when  Jabin  king  of  Hazor 
had  heard  those  things,  that  he 
sent  to  Jobab  king  of  Madon,  and 
to  tho  king  of  Shimron,  and  to 
the  king  of  Achshaph,  And  to  the 
khigs  that  icere  on  the  north  of 
tbe  mountains,  and  of  the  plains 
south  of  Chinneroth,  and  in  the 
valley,  and  in  the  borders  of  Dor 
on  the  west.  And  to  the  Canaan- 
ite  on  the  east  and  on  the  west, 
and  to  the  Amorite,  and  the 
Hlttite,and  the  Perizzlte,  and  the 
Jebusite  in  the  mountains,  and  to 
the  Hivite  under  Hermon  in  the 
land  of  Mlzpeh.  And  they  wont 
out,  they  and  all  their  hosts  with 
them,  much  people,  even  as  the 
sand  that  is  upun  the  soa  shore  In 
multitude,  with  horses  and 
chariots  very  many.  And  when 
all  these  kings  wore  met  together, 
they  came  and  pitched  together 
at  the  waters  of  Merum,  to  fight 
against  Israel. 

Judges  i,  8.  And  Jndah  said 
imto  Sbneon  his  brother.  Come 
up  with  me  into  my  lot,  that  we 


may  fight  agahist  the  CanaanKas; 
and  I  likewise  will  go  with  thee 
into  thy  lot.  So  Simeon  went 
with  him. 

8  Sam.  X,  6, 15, 16, 19.  And  when 
the  diildren  of  Anrnion  saw  that 
they  stank  before  David,  tbe  chil- 
dred  of  Ammon  sent  and  hired  the 
Syrians  of  Beth-rebob,  and  the 
Syrians  of  Zoba,  twenty  thousand 
footmen,  and  of  king  Maacah  a 
thousand  men,  and  of  Ish-tob 
twelve  thousand  men.  And  when 
ttie  Syrians  saw  that  they  were 
smitten  before  Israel,  they  gather^ 
ed  themselves  together.  And 
Hadarezer  sent,  and  brought  out 
the  Syrians  that  were  beyond  the 
river,  and  they  came  to  Helam; 
and  Shobach  the  captain  of  the 
host  of  Hadarezer  went  before 
them.  And  when  all  the  kings 
Vuxt  were  servants  to  Hadarezer 
saw  that  they  were  smitten  before 
Israel,  they  made  peace  with 
Israel,  and  served  them.  So  the 
Syrians  feared  to  help  the  chil- 
dren of  Ammon  any  more. 

1  Kings  XV,  20.  So  Ben-hadad 
hearkened  unto  king  Asa,  and 
sent  the  captains  of  the  hosts 
which  he  had  against  tlie  cities  of 
Israel,  and  smote  IJon,  and  Dan, 
and  Abcl-beth-maacliah,  and  all 
Cinneroth,  with  all  the  land  of 
NaphtoU. 

1  Kings  xxll,  1-4.  And  they  con- 
tinued three  years  witliout  war 
between  Syria  and  Israel.  And  it 
come  to  pass  in  the  third  year, 
that  Jehosfaaphot  tbe  king  of 
Judah  came  down  to  the  king  of 
Israel.  And  the  king  of  Israel 
said  unto  his  servants,  Know  ye 
that  Ramoth  in  Gllead  is  our's, 
and  we  be  stUl,  and  take  it  not 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  king  of 
Syria?  And  he  said  unto  Jehoah- 
aphat.  Wilt  thou  go  with  me  to 
battle  to  Ramoth -gllBod?  And 
Jehoshaphat  said  to  tho  king  of 
Israel,  I  am  as  thou  art.  my  peo- 
ple as  thy  people,  my  horses  as 
thy  horses. 

2  Kings  xvi,  9.  And  the  king  of 
Assyria  hearkened  unto  him:  for 
the  king  of  Assyria  went  up 
against  Damascus,  and  took  it, 
and  carried  Vte  people  of  it  captive 
to  Kir,  and  slew  Rezm. 

2  Kings  xvill,  19-21.  And  Bab- 
shakeh  said  unto  them.  Speak  ye 
now  to  Hezekiah,  Thus  saith  the 
groat  king,  the  king  of  Assyria, 
What  confidence  i3  this  wherein 
thou  trustest?  Thou  sayest,  (but 
theg  are  but  vain  words,)  /  have 
counsel  and  strength  for  the  war. 
Now  on  whom  dost  thou  trust, 
that  thou  rebellest  against  me? 
Now,  behold,  thou  trustest  upon 
the  staff  of  this  bruised  reed,  even 
upon  Egypt,  on  which  if  a  man 
lean,  It  will  go  into  his  hand,  and 
pierce  it:  so  is  Pharaoh  king  of 
Egypt  unto  all  that  trust  on  him.

Bilvor  to  hire  them  chariots  and 
horsemen  out  of  MesoimtamUL 
and  out  of  Syrla-maachah,  and 
out  of  Zobah.  So  they  hhred

and  the  king  of  Maachah  and  his

2  Qhron.  xvl,  2-0.  Then  Asa 
brought  out  silver  and  gi  Jd  ont  of 
the  treasures  of  the  bouse  of  the 
LoBO  and  of  the  king's  house,  and 
sent  to  Bcn-hadad  king  of  Syria, 
that  dwelt  at  Damascus,  saying. 
There  is  a  league  between  me  and 
thee,  as  Uiere  vxts  between  my 
father  and  thy  father  behold,  I 
have  sent  thee  silver  and  gold;  go, 
break  thy  league  with  Baosha  king 

>  of  Israel,  that  he  may  depart  from 
I  me.  And  Ben-hodad  hearkened 
nnto  king  Asa,  and  sent  the  cap- 
tains of  his  armies  against  the 
cities  of  Israel;  and  they  smote 
IJon,  and  Dan,  and  Abelmaim,  and

Then  Asa  the  king  took  all  Judah; 
,  and  they  carried  away  the  stones 
I  of  Ramah,  and  the  timber  thereof, 
wherewith  Baasha  was  building; 
and  he  built  therewith  Geba  and 
Mlzpah.  And  at  that  time  Han- 
anl  the  seer  came  to  Asa  king  of 
Judoh,  and  said  nnto  him.  Be- 
cause thou  hast  relied  on  the 
king  of  Syria,  and  not  relied  on 
the  Lord  thy  God,  therefore  is 
the  host  of  the  king  of  Syria 
escaped  out  of  thine  hand.  Were 
not  the  Ethiopians  and  the  Lu- 
bima  a  huge  host,  with  very  many 
chariots  and  horsemen?  yet,  be- 
cause thou  didst  rely  on  the 
Loan,  he  delivered  them  Into 
thine  hand.  For  the  eyes  of  the 
LoKD  run  to  and  fro  throughout 
the  whole  earth,  to  shew  himself 
strong  in  the  behalf  of  them 
whose  heart  is  perioct  toward 
I  him.  Herein  thou  hast  done  fool- 
ishly: therefore  from  henceforth 
thou  Shalt  haye  wars.

Ps.  Ixxxiii,  1-12,15-18,  Keep  not 
thou  silence,  O  God:  bold  not  thy 
peace,  and  be  not  still,  O  God. 
For,  lo,  thine  enemies  make  a 
tumult,  and  thoy  that  hate  thee 
have  lifted  np  the  head.  They 
have  taken  crafty  counsel  against 
thy  people,  and  consulted  against 
thy  hidden  ones.  They  have  said, 
Cume,  and  let  us  cut  them  off 
fk-om  beinff  a  nation;  that  the  name 
of  Israel  may  be  no  more  in  re- 
membrance. For  they  have  con- 
sulted together  with  one  consent: 
they  are  confi^derate  against 
thee:  The  tabernacles  of  Edom. 
and  the  Ishmaellte^  of  Moab,  and 
the  Hagarenes;  Gebal,  and  Am- 
mon, and  AnuUek;  the  Philistines 
vrith  the  inhabitants  of  Tyre; 
Assnr  also  ii  Johied  with  them: 
they  have  holpen  the  children  of 
Lot.  Selah.  Do  unto  them  as 
unto  the  Midlanites;  as  to  Slsera, 
as  to  Jabin,  at  the  brook  of  Kison: 
Which  perished  at  En-don  they 
became  aa  dung  for  the  earih. 
Make  their  nobles  like  Oreb,  and 
like  Zeeb:  yea,  all  their  princes  as 
Zebah,  and  as  Zalmunna:  Who 
said,  Lot  us  take  to  ourselves  the 
houses  of  God  in  possession.  So 
persecute  them  with  thy  tempest, 
and  make  them  afraid  with  thy 
storm.  Fill  theh:  foces  with 
shamo;  that  they  may  seek  thy 
name,  O  Loan.  Let  them  be  con- 
founded and  troubled  for  ever, 
yea,  let  them  be  pat  to  shame, 
and  perish:  That  7n«n  may  know 
that  thou,  whose  name  alone  is 
JEHOVAH,  art  the  most  high 
over  all  the  earth. 

Isa.  vii,  1-9.  And  it  came  to 
pass  in  the  days  of  Ahaz  the  son 
of  Jotham,  the  son  of  Uzzlah, 
king  of  Judah,  that  Rezin  the 
king  of  Syria,  and  Pekah  the  son 
of  Remallah,  king  of  Israel,  went 
np  toward  Jerusalem  to  war 
against  it,  but  could  not  prevail 
against  it.  And  it  was  told  the 
house  of  David,  saying,  Syria  is 
confederate  with  Ephralm.  And 
his  heart  was  moved,  and  the 
heart  of  his  people,  as  the  trees 
of  the  wood  are  moved  with  the 
wind.  Then  said  the  Lord  unto 
Isaiah,  Go  forth  now  to  meet 
Ahaz,  thou,  and  Shoar-Jashnb  thy 
sou.  at  the  end  of  the  conduit  of

the  upper  pool  In  the  highway  of 
the  fuller's  field;  And  say  unto 
him,  Take  heed,  and  be  quiet;  fear 
not,  neither  be  faint-hearted  for 
the  two  tails  of  these  smoking 
firebrands,  for  the  fierce  anger  of 
RezIn  with  Syria,  and  of  the  son 
of  Remallah.  Because  Syria, 
Ephralm,  and  the  son  of  Remallah, 
have  taken  evil  counsel  against 
thee,  sayhig,  Let  us  go  up  agahist 
Judah,  and  vex  it,  and  let  us 
make  a  breach  therein  for  us,  and 
set  a  king  in  the  midst  of  It,  even 
the  son  of  Tabeal:  Thus  salth 
the  Lord  God,  It  shall  not  stand, 
neither  shall  It  come  to  pass.  For 
the  head  of  Syria  is  Damascus, 
and  the  head  of  Damascus  is 
RezIn;  and  within  threescore  and 
five  years  shall  Ephralm  be 
broken,  that  it  be  not  a  people. 
And  the  head  of  Ephralm  is 
Samaria,  and  the  head  of  Samaria 
is  Remallah's  son.  If  ye  will  not 
believe,  surely  ye  shall  not  be 
established. 

Isa,  Till,  »-12.  Associate  your- 
selves,  O  ye  pefiple,  and  ye  shall 
be  broken  In  piece^  and  gfye  ear 
all  ye  of  far  countries:  gird  your- 
selves, and  ye  shall  be  broken  in 
pieces:  gird  yourselves,  and  ye 
shall  be  broken  in  pieces.  Take 
counsel  together,  and  it  shall 
come  to  nought;  speak  the  word, 
and  it  shall  not  stand:  for  God  is 
with  ns.  For  the  Lobd  spake 
thus  to  me  with  a  strong  hand, 
and  instructed  me  that  I  should 
not  walk  in  the  way  of  this  peo- 
ple, saying.  Say  ye  not^  A  con* 
federacy,  to  all  them  to  whom  this 
people  shall  say,  A  confederacy; 
neither  fear  ye  their  fear,  nor  be 
alhiid. 

Isa.  Mr,  16.  Behold,  they  shaU 
surely  gather  together,  but  not  by 
me:  whosoever  shall  gather  to- 
gether against  thee  shall  foil  for 
thy  sake. 

THE  LEAGUE  WITH  THE

Josh,  Ix,  1-27.  And  it  cftmo  to 
pass,  when  all  the  kings  which 
were  on  this  side  Jordan,  in  the

with  one  accord.  And  when  the 
inhabitants  of  Gibeon  heard  what 
Joshua  had  done  unto  Jericho  and 
to  Al,  They  did  work  wilily,  and 
went  and  made  as  If  they  had 
been  ambassadors,  and  took  old 
sacks  upon  their  asses,  and  wine 
bottles,  old.  and  rent,  and  bound

mouldy.  And  they  went  to 
Joshua  unto  the  camp  at  GUsal 
and  8ald  nnto  htm.  and  to  the  men 
of  Israel,  We  be  come  from  a  far 
country:  now  therefore  make  ye 
a  leagrue  with  us.  And  the  men 
of  Israel  said  unto  the  Hlvltea, 
Peradvonture  ye  dwell  among  ua; 
and  how  shall  we  make  a  league 
with  you?  And  they  said  unto 
Joshua,  We  are  thy  servants. 
And  Joshua  said  unto  them,  Who 
arc  ye?  and  ftom  whence  come 
ye?  And  they  said  unto  him, 
From  a  very  far  country  thy  ser- 
vants are  come  because  of  the 
name  of  the  Loud  thy  God:  for  wo 
have  hoard  the  fame  of  hhn,  and 
all  that  ho  did  In  Egypt,  And  all 
that  he  did  to  the  two  kings  of 
the  Amorites,  that  toere  beyond 
Jordan,  to  SIhon  king  of  Hesh- 
bon,  and  to  Og  king  of  Baashan, 
which  ioas  at  Ashtaroth.  Where- 
fore our  elders  and  all  the  inhabi- 
tants of  our  country  spake  to  us, 
sayla?,  Take  victuals  with  you  for 
the  jounioy,  and  go  to  meet  them, 
and  say  unto  them.  We  are  your 
servants:  therefore  now  make  ye 
a  league  with  us.  This  our  bread 
we  took  hot /or  our  provision  out 
of  our  houses  on  the  day  we  came 
forth  to  go  unto  you;  but  now,  be- 
hold, It  Is  dry,  and  It  Is  mouldy: 
and  these  bottles  of  wine,  which 
we  filled,  toere  new;  and,  behold, 
they  be  rent:  and  thcso  our  gar- 
ments and  our  slioes  are  become 
old  by  reason  of  the  very  long 
Journey.  And  the  men  took  of 
their  victuals,  and  askod  not  couti- 
8€l  at  the  mouth  of  the  Lord. 
And  Joshua  made  peace  with 
them,  and  made  a  league  with 
them,  to  let  them  live:  and  the 
princes  of  the  congregation  sware 
unto  them.  And  tt  came  to  pass 
at  the  end  of  three  days  after 
they  had  made  a  league  with 
them,  that  they  heard  that  they 
toere  their  neighbours,  and  Viat 
they  dwelt  among  them.  And 
the  children  of  Israel  Journeyed, 
and  came  unto  their  cities  on  the 
thlMday.  Now  their  cities  toere 
Gibeon,  and  Chephirah,  and" 
Beeroth,  and  Kiijath-Jearlm.  And 
the  children  of  Israel  smote  them 
not,  be<^u8e  the  princes  of  the 
congregation  had  sworn  unto 
them  by  the  Lobo  God  of  Israel. 
And  all  tlie  congregation  mur- 
mured against  the  princes.  But 
all  the  princes  said  unto  all  the 
congregation.  We  have  sworn 
unto  them  by  the  Loan  God  of 
Israel:  now  therefore  we  may 
not  touch  them.  This  we  will 
do  to  them;  we  will  even  let 
them  live,  lest  wrath  be  upon  us, 
because  of  the  oath  which  we 
sware  unto  them.  And  the  prln-

cimgregatloD;  as  the  princes  had 
promised  them.  And  Joshna 
called  for  them,  and  he  spake  un- 
to them,  saying,  Wh'erefore  have 
ye  beguiled  us,  saying,  We  are 
very  far  from  you;  when  ye  dwell 
among  us?  Now  therefore  ye  are 
cursed,  and  there  shall  none  of 
you  be  treed  firom  being  bondmen, 
and  hewers  of  wood  and  drawers 
of  water  for  the  house  of  my  God. 
And  they  answered  Josliua,  and 
said,  Because  It  was  certainly  told 
thy  servants,  how  that  the  Lord 
thy  God  commanded  his  servant 
Moses  to  give  you  all  the  land, 
and  to  destroy  all  the  inhabitants 
of  the  land  from  before  you,  there- 
fore we  were  sore  afraid  of  our 
lives  because  of  you,  and  have 
done  this  thing.  And  now,  be- 
hold, we  an  in  thine  hand:  as  It 
seometh  good  and  right  unto  thee 
to  do  unto  us,  do.  And  so  did  ho 
unto  them,  and  delivered  them 
out  of  the  hand  of  tho  children  of 
Israel,  that  they  slew  them  not. 
And  Joshua  made  them  that  day 
hewers  of  wood  and  drawers  of 
water  for  the  congregation,  and 
for  the  altar  of  the  Lord,  even 
unto  this  day,  In  the  place  which 
he  should  choose.

1  Am.  xxljL  1-11.  Now  the

their  armies  to  Aphek:  and  tlie 
Israelites  pitched  by  a  fountain 
which  is  in  Jezroel.  And  the 
lords  of  the  PhllisUnes  passed  on 
by  hundreds,  and  by  thousands: 
but  David  and  his  men  passed  on 
In'  the  rcre-ward  with  Achlsh. 
Then  said  the  princes  of  the 
Philistines,  What  do  these 
Hebrews  Aeref  And  Achlsh  said 
unto  the  princes  of  the  Philistines, 
Is  not  this  David,  the  servant  of 
Saul  the  king  of  Israel,  which 
hath  been  with  me  these  days,  or 
these  years,  and  I  have  found  no 
foult  In  him  since  he  fell  unto  me 
unto  this  day?  And  the  princes 
of  the  Philistines  were  wroth  with 
him;  and  the  princes  of  the  Philis- 
tines said  nnto  him,  Make  this 
fellow  return,  that  he  may  go 
again  to  his  place  which  thou  hast 
appointed  him,  and  let  hlra  not  go 
down  with  us  to  battle,  lest  In  the 
battle  he  be  an  advenary  to  us: 
for  wherewith  should  he  reconcile 
hhnself  unto  his  master?  shoutd  it

menr  Zs  not  this  David,  of  whom 
they  sang  one  to  another  In  dances, 
saying,  Saul  slew  his  thousands, 
and  David  his  ten  thousands^ 
Then  Achlsh  called  David,  and 
said  unco  him.  Surely,  as  the 
Lord  Uveth,  thou  hast  been  up- 
right, and  thy  going  out  and  tba^ 
coming  in  with  me  In  the  host  tf 
good  in  my  sight:  for  I  have  not 
found  evil  in  thee  since  the  day 
of  thy  coming  unto  me  unto  this 
day:  nevertheless  the  lords  flavour 
thee  not.  Wherefore  now  return, 
and  go  In  peace,  that  thou  dis- 
please not  the  lords  of  the  Phlli*> 
tinea.  And  David  said  unto 
Achlsh,  But  what  have  I  done?  and 
what  hast  thou  found  in  thy  ser- 
vant so  long  as  I  have  been  with 
thee  unto  this  day,  that  I  may  not 
go  fight  against  the  enemies  of 
my  lord  the  kiog¥  And  Achlsh 
answered  and  said  to  David,  I 
know  that  thou  art  good  in  my 
sight,  as  an  angel  of  God:  notwith- 
standing the  princes  of  the  Philis-

part.  So  David  and  his  men  rose 
up  early  to  depart  in  the  morning,

8  C^hron,  xxv,  7-10.  But  there 
came  a  man  of  God  to  him,  saying.

with  Israel,  to  vrtt,  with  all  the 
children  of  Ephralm.  But  If  thou 
wilt  go,  do  it,  be  strong  for  the

HEROES. 
2  Sam.  xxIU,  8-21,  23-39.  These 
be  the  names  of  the  mighty  men 
whom  David  had:  The  Tachmon- 
ite  that  sat  in  the  seat,  chief 
among  the  captains;  the  same  was 
Adlna  the  Eznite:  he  lift  up  his 
spear  against  eight  hundred, 
whom  he  slew  at  one  time.  And 
after  him  was  Eleazar  the  son  of 
Dodo  the  Ahohlte,  one  of  the 
three  mighty  men  with  David, 
when  they  doAod  the  Philistines 
that  were  there  gathered  together 
to  battle,  and  the  men  of  Israel 
wore  gone  away:  He  arose,  and 
smote  the  Philistines  until  his 
hand  was  weary,  and  his  hand 
clave  unto  the  sword:and  the  Loan 
wrought  a  great  victory  tliat  dajr, 
an  I  the  people  returned  after  him 
only  to  spoil.  And  after  him  was 
Shammah  the  son  of  Agee  the 
Hararlto.  And  the  PhUisUnes 
were  gathered  together  into  a 
troop,  where  was  a  piece  of 
ground  ftiU  of  lentlles:  and  the 
people  fled  flrom  the  Philistines.

But  be  stood  in  the  midst  of  ttie 
ground,  and  defended  It,  and  slew 
the  Philistines:  and  the  Lord 
wrought  a  great  victory.  And 
three  of  the  th  Irty  chief  went  down, 
and  came  to  David  in  the  harvest 
time  unto  the  cave  of  AduUam: 
and  the  troop  of  the  Philistines 
pitched  in  the  valley  of  Rephaim. 
And  David  was  then  In  an  hold, 
and  the  garrison  of  the  Philistines 
was  then  in  Beth-Iehem.  And 
David  longed,  and  said,  Oh  that 
one  would  give  me  drink  of  the 
water  of  the  well  of  Beth-lehem, 
which  Is  by  the  gate  I  And  the 
three  mighty  men  brake  through 
the  host  of  the  FhiUstlnes,  and 
drew  water  out  of  the  well  of 
Beth-Iehem,  that  voas  by  the  gate, 
and  took  U,  and  brought  U  to 
David:  nevertheless  he  would  not 
drink  thereof,  but  poured  it  out 
unto  the  Lord.  And  he  said.  Be 
it  &r  from  me,  O  Loan,  that  I 
should  do  this:  is  not  this  the 
blood  of  the  men  that  went  in 
Jeopardy  of  their  lives?  therefore 
he  would  not  drink  it.  These 
things  did  these  three  mighty 
men.  And  Abishai,  the  brother  of 
Joab,  the  son  ofZeruiah,was  chief 
among  throe.  And  he  lifted  up 
his  spear  against  three  hundred, 
and  slew  them,  and  had  the  name 
among  three.  Was  he  not  most 
honourable  of  three?  therefore  he 
was  their  captain:  howbeit  he  at- 
tained not  unto  the  first  three. 
And  Bcnaiah  the  son  of  Jehoiada, 
tho  son  of  a  valiant  man,  of  Kab- 
zcel,  who  had  done  many  acts,  he 
slew  two  Uon-like  men  of  Moab: 
he  went  down  al:<io  and  slew  a  lion 
in  the  midst  of  a  pit  in  time  of 
snow.  And  he  slew  an  Egyptian, 
a  goodly  man:  and  the  Egyptian 
had  a  spear  In  his  hand;  but  ho 
went  down  to  him  with  a  stafl", 
and  plucked  the  spear  out  of  the 
Egyptian's  hand,  and  slew  him 
with  bis  own  spear.  He  was  more 
honourable  than  the  thirty,  but  he 
attained  not  to  tho  first  three:  and 
David  set  him  over  his  guard. 
Asahcl  the  brother  of  Joab  toas

of  Dodo  of  Beth4ehem,  Shammah

Judoes  iv,  6-10. 14, 17, 18, 21,  22. 
And  she  sent  and  called  Barak  the 
son  of  Ablnoam  out  of  Kedosh- 
naphtali,  and  said  unto  hhn,  Hath 
not  the  Lord  God  of  Israel  com- 
manded, saving,  Go  and  draw  to- 
ward mount  Tabor,  and  take  with 
thee  ten  thousand  men  of  the 
children  of  Naphtall  and  of  tho 
children  of  Zobulun?  And  I  will 
draw  unto  thee  to  the  river 
Kishon  Sisera,  the  captain  of 
Jabln's  army,  with  his  chariots 
and  his  multitude;  and  I  will  de- 
liver him  into  thine  hand.  And 
Barak  said  unto  her.  If  thou  wilt 
go  with  me,  then  I  will  go:  but  if 
thou  wilt  not  go  with  me,  then  I 
will  not  go.  And  she  sold,  I  will 
surely  gu  with  thee:  notwithstand- 
ing the  Journey  that  thou  takest 
shall  not  be  for  thine  honour,  for 
the  Lord  shall  sell  Sisera  into 
the  hand  of  a  woman.  And  De- 
borah arose,  and  went  with  Barak 
to  Kedosh.  And  Barak  called 
Zobulun  and  Naphtall  to  Kedcsh; 
and  he  went  up  with  ten  thou- 
sand men  at  his  feet,  and  Deborah 
went  up  with  him.  And  Deborah 
said  unto  Barak,  Up;  for  this  £s  the 
day  in  which  the  Lord  hath  de- 
livered Sisera  into  thlno  hand:  is  not 
the  Lord  gone  out  before  thee? 
So  Barak  went  down  f^om  mount 
Tabor,  and  ten  thousand  men  after 
him.  Howbeit  Sisera  fled  away  on 
his  feet  to  the  tent  of  Jael  the 
wife  of  Heber  the  Kenlte:  for 
there  was  peace  between  Jab\n 
the  king  of  Hazor  and  the  house 
of  Heber  the  Kenite.  And  Jael 
went  out  to  meet  Sisera,  and  said 
unto  hhn,  Turn  in,  my  lord,  turn 
in  to  me;  fear  not.  And  when  ho 
had  turned  In  unto  her  into  the 
tent,  she  covered  him  with  a 
mantle.  Then  Jael,  Heber's  wife, 
took  a  nail  of  the  tent,  and  took 
an  hammer  in  her  hand,  and  went 
softly  unto  him,  and  smote  the 
nail  into  his  templos,  and  fastened 
it  into  the  ground:  for  he  was  fast 
asleep  and  weary.  So  he  died. 
And,  behold,  as  Barak  pursued 
Sisera,  Jael  came  out  to  meet 
him,  and  said  unto  him,  Come, 
and  I  will  shew  thee  the  man 
whom  thou  seekest.  And  when 
he  come  into  her  tent,  behold, 
Sisera  Uy  dead,  and  the  nail  toas 
to.  his  temples. 

J'udgts  T,  24.  Blessed  above 
women  shall  Jael  the  wife  of 
Heber  the  Kenlte  bo,  blessed  shall 
she  be  above  women  in  the  tent.

against  bbn,  and  kffl  him,  then 
Shan  ye  be  our  servants,  and 
serve  us.  And  the  Philistine 
said,  I  defy  the  armies  of  Israel 
this  day;  give  me  a  man,  that  we 
mav  fight  together.  When  Saul 
and  all  Israel  heard  those  words 
of  the  Philistine,  they  were  dis- 
mayed, and  greatly  afraid.  And 
the  Philistine  drew  near  morning 
and  evening,  and  presented  him- 
self forty  days.  And  as  he  talked 
with  them,  behold,  there  came  up 
the  champion,  the  Philistine  of 
Gath,  Goliath  by  name,  out  of  the 
armies  of  the  Philistines,  and 
spake  according  to  the  same 
words:  and  David  beard  them. 
And  an  the  men  of  Israel,  when 
they  saw  the  man,  fled  from  him, 
and  were  sore  afhdd.  And  the 
men  of  Israel  said,  Have  ye  seen 
this  man  that  is  come  up?  surely 
to  defy  Israel  is  he  come  up:  and 
it  shall  be,  that  the  man  who  klU- 
eth  him,  the  king  will  enrich  him 
with  great  riches,  and  will  give 
hhn  his  daughter,  and  make  his 
father's  house  flree  in  Israel.  And 
David  spake  to  the  men  that  stood 
by  him,  saying,  What  shall  be 
done  to  the  man  that  kllleth  this 
Philistine,  and  taketh  away  the 
reproach  fh>m  Israel?  for  who  is 
this  unclrcumcised  PhilisUne,  that 
he  should  defy  the  armies  of  the 
living  God?  And  the  people 
answered  him  after  this  manner, 
saying.  So  shall  it  be  done  to  the 
man  that  killeth  htan.  And  Eiiab 
his  eldest  brother  heard  when  he 
spake  unto  the  men;  and  EUab's 
anger  was  kindled  against  David, 
and  he  said.  Why  camest  thou 
down  hither?  and  with 'whom 
hast  thou  left  those  few  sheep  In 
the  wilderness?  I  know  thy 
pride,  and  thy  naughtiness  of 
thine  heart:  for  thou  art  come 
down  that  thou  mightest  see  the 
battle.  And  David  said.  What 
have  I  now  done?  /s  there  not  a 
cause?  And  he  turned  fh>m  him 
toward  another,  and  spake  after 
the  same  mannen  and  the  people 
answered  him  again  alter  the 
former  manner.  And  when  the 
words  were  heard  which  David 
spake,  they  rehearsed  them  before 
Saul:  and  he  sent  fbr  him.  And 
David  said  to  Saul,  Let  no  man's 
heart  flUl  because  of  him;  thy  ser- 
vant will  go  and  flght  with  this 
PhUlstlne.  And  Saul  said  to 
Da^d,  Thou  art  not  able  to  go 
against  this  Philistine  to  flght 
with  htan:  for  thou  artbtUa,  youth, 
and  he  a  man  of  war  from  his 
youth.  And  Saul  armed  David 
wiUi  his  armour,  and  he  put  an 
heUnet  of  brass  upon  his  beach 
also  he  armed  him  with  a  coat  of 
malL  And  David  girded  his 
sword  upon  his  armour,  and  he 
assayed  to  go;  for  he  bad  not

I  have  not  proved  then.  An.} 
David  put  them  off  him.  And  lu- 
took  his  staff  in  his  hand,  and 
choose  him  five  smooth  stonen 
out  of  the  brook,  and  put  them  in 
a  shepherd's  bag  which  he  had 
even  In  a  scrip:  and  his  sling  wu< 
In  his  hand:  and  he  drew  near  u. 
the  Philisthie.  And  the  Phllb^ 
Une  came  on  and  drew  ne^  unte 
David;  and  the  man  that  bare  the 
shield  went  before  him.  And 
when  the  Philistine  looked  about, 
and  saw  David,  he  disdained  him: 
for  he  was  but  a  youth,  and  ruddy, 
and  of  a  fiii^  countenance.  Then 
said  David  to  the  Philistine.  Thou 
comest  to  me  with  a  sword,  and 
with  a  spear,  and  with  a  shield: 
but  I  come  to  thee  In  the  name 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
the  armies  of  Israel,  whom  thou 
hast  defied.  This  day  will  the 
Lord  deliver  thee  into  mine  hand; 
and  I  will  smite  thee,  and  Uke 
thine  head  flrom  thee;  and  I  will 
give  the  carcases  of  the  host  of  the 
Philistines  this  day  unto  the  fowls 
of  the  air,  and  to  the  wild  beasts

thence  a  stone,  and  slang  it,  and 
smote  the  Philistine  in  his  fore- 
head, that  the  stone  sunk  into  his 
forehead:  and  he  fell  upon  his 
face  to  the  earth.  So  David  pre-

sling  and  with  a  stone,  and  smote 
the  Philistine,  and  slew  him;  but

took  his  sword,  and  drew  it  out  of 
the  sheath  thereof,  and  slew  him, 
and  cut  off  his  head  therewith. 
And  when  the  PhUlstines  saw 
thehr  champion  was  dead,  they 
fled.

unperfect;  and  In  thy  book  all  mv

SYMBOL  OF  THE  CHURCH 
AND  ITS  SYMPATHETIC 

UNITY. 
JtoM.  xU,  4,  6.  For  «•  w©  have 
many  members  In  one  body,  and 
all  members  have  not  the  same 
office:  Bo  we,  being  many,  are  one 
body  in  Christ,  and  every  one 
members  one  of  another. 

1  (fer.  xll,  14-86.  For  the  body 
is  not  one  member,  but  many. 
If  the  foot  shall  say,  Because  I  am 
not  the  hand,  I  am  not  of  the 
liody;  Is  It  therefore  not  of  the 
body?  And  If  the  ear  shaU  say, 
Because  I  am  not  the  eye,  I  am 
not  of  the  bod]^  Is  It  therefore  not 
of  the  body?  If  the  whole  body 
loere  an  eye.  where  losre  the 
hearing?  If  the  whole  toere  hear- 
ing, where  were  the  smelling?  But 
now  hath  God  set  the  members 
every  one  of  them  In  the  body,  as 
It  hath  pleased  htm.  And  If  they 
were  all  one  member,  where  were 
the  body?  But  now  are  they 
many  members,  yet  but  one  body. 
And  the  eye  cannot  say  unto  the 
hand,  I  have  no  need  of  thee:  nor 
again  the  head  to  the  feet,  I  have 
no  need  of  you.  Nay,  mudi  more 
those  members  of  the  body,  which 
seem  to  be  more  feeble,  are  neces- 
sary: And  those  members  of  the 
body,  which  we  think  to  be  less 
honoorabiSj  upon  thes*  we  be- 

sr 


stow  more  abundant  honour,  and 
our  uncomely  parts  have  more 
abundant  comeliness.  For  onr 
comely  parts  have  no  need:  but 
Ood  hath  tempered  the  body  to- 
gether, having  given  more  abund- 
ant honour  to  that  part  which 
lacked;  That  there  should  be  no 
schism  In  the  body;  but  that' the 
members  should  have  the  same 
care  one  tor  another.  And 
whether  one  member  suffer,  all 
the  members  suffer  with  It;  or  one 
member  be  honoured,  all  the 
members  r^oice  with  It. 

Eph.  1,  88.  Which  Is  his  body, 
the  ftdness  of  him  that  flUeth  aU 
InaU. 

^h,  II,  16.  And  that  he  might 
reconcile  both  unto  Ood  In  one 
body  by  the  cross,  having  slain 
the  enmity  thereby. 

Eph.  ill,  6.  That  the  OentUoe 
should  be  fellowhelrs,  and  of  the 
same  body,  and  partakers  of  his 
promise  In  Christ  oy  the  gospel. 

Eph.  Iv.  4, 18, 16.  Thare  is  one 
body,  and  one  Spirit,  even  as  ye 
are  called  In  one  hope  of  your 
caJUng.  For  the  perfecting  of  the 
saints,  for  the  work  of  the  minis- 
try, for  the  edifying  of  the  body 
of  Christ  From  whom  the  whole 
body  ntly  Jotaied  together  and 
compacted  by  that  which  ever> 
ioint  supplleth.  according  to  the 
effectual  working  hi  the  measure 
of  every  part,  maketh  Increase  of 
the  body  unto  the  edifying  of  It- 
■^Iflnlove. 

^Ifh.  V,  88.  For  the  husband  Is 
the  head  of  the  wife,  even  as 
Christ  is  the  head  of  the  churclu 
and  he  is  the  saviour  of  the  body. 

(Mos.  I,  18,  84.  And  he  Is  Uie 
head  of  the  body,  the  cburclu 
who  Is  the  beglnnhig,  the  first- 
born fh>m  the  dead;  that  In  all 
things  he  might  have  the  pre- 
eminence. Who  now  r^olce  in 
my  sufferings  for  you,  and  All  np 
that  which  Is  behind  of  the  afflic- 
tions of  Christ  In  my  flesli  for  his 
body's  sake,  |rhlch  Is  the  church. 

CMOS.  11,  10.  And  not  holding 
the  Head,  from  which  aU  tlie 
body  by  Joints  and  bands  havtog 
nourishment  ministered,  and  knit

Qotos.  Ill,  15.  And  let  the  peece 
of  Ood  rule  In  your  hearts,  to  the 
which  also  ye  are  caUod  in  one

understanding.  In  the  multitude 
of  words  there  wanteth  not  gin: 
but  he  that  refiraineth  his  lips  O

dlggeth  up  evil:  and  in  his  Ups 
there  is  as  burning  fire.  He 
shutteth  his  eyes  to  devise  fro- 
ward  things:  moving  his  lips  he 
brhigeth  evU  to  iiaas. 

Prov.  xvil,  28.  Even  afbol,  when

against  thy  neighbour  without 
cause;  and  deceive  not  with  thy 
Ups.

dissembleth  with  his  Ups,  and

strong  cities,  and  a  liett  land,  and 
possessed  houses  ftill  of  all  goods, 
wells  digged,  vineyards  and  olive-

GATHERINGS. 

8  Qhron.  vi,  6, 6.  Since  the  day 
that  I  brought  forth  my  people 
out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  I  chose 
no  dty  among  all  the  tribes  of 
Israel  to  build  an  bouse  in,  that 
my  name  might  be  there;  neither 
chose  I  any  man  to  be  a  ruler  over 
my  people  Israel:  But  I  have 
chosen  Jerusalem,  that  my  name 
might  be  there;  and  have  chosen 
David  to  be  over  my  people 
Israel.

Walk  about  Zion,  and  go  round

tribes  of  the  Loed,  unto  the  testi- 
mony of  Israel,  to  give  thanks 
unto  the  name  of  the  Loan.  For 
there  are  set  thrones  of  Judgment, 
the  thrones  of  the  house  of  David. 

ISO,  Izv,  18, 19.  But  be  ye  glad 
and  rejoice  for  ever  in  that  which 
I  create:  for,  behold,  I  create 
Jerusalem  a  rctjoiclng,  and  her 
people  a  Joy.  And  I  will  rejoice 
in  Jerusalem,  and  Joy  in  my  peo- 
ple: and  the  voice  of  weeping 
shall  be  no  more  heard  in  her, 
nor  the  voice  of  crying. 

ZeeA.  Till,  8.  Thus  salth  the

The  holy  mountain.

good  upon  me;  as  also  the  king's 
words  that  he  had  spoken  unto 
me.  And  they  said.  Let  us  rise  up 
and  buUd.  So  they  strengthened 
their  hands  for  this  good  toork. 
But  when  Sanballat  the  Horonite, 
and  Toblah  the  servant,  the  Am- 
monite, and  Ocehem  the  Arabian, 
heard  it,  they  laughed  us  tu  scorn, 
and  despised  us,  and  sal' I,  What  is 
this  thing  that  ye  do?  will  ye  rebel 
against  the  klngf  Then  answered 
I  them^  and  said  unto  them,  The 
God  of  heaven,  he  will  proFporus; 
therefore  we  his  servants  will  arise 
and  build:  but  ye  have  no  portion, 
nor  right,  nor  memorial,  in  Jem-

That  I  gave  my  brother  Ilan-

of  the  palace,  charge  over  Jeru-

Let  not  the  gates  of  Jerasalem

let  them  shut  the  doors,  and

Neh.  xl  1,  8.  And  the  ralers  of 
the  people  dwelt  at  Jerusalem!

to  bring  one  of  ten  to  dwell  in  Je- 
rusalem the  holy  city,  and  nine 
purta  to  dwell  in  other  cities.  And 
the  people  blessed  all  the  men 
that  willingly  oflTered  themselves

FINAL  DESTRUCTION  BY 
THE  ROMANS  FORETOLD. 

Luke  xix,  41-44.  And  when  he 
was  come  near,  he  beheld  the  dty, 
and  wept  over  It,  Saying,  If  thou 
hadst  known,  even  thou,  at  least 
in  this  thy  day,  the  things  which

they  are  hid  fhMn  thine  eyes.  For 
the  days  shall  come  upon  thee, 
that  thine  enemies  shall  cast  a 
trench  about  thee,  and  compass 
thee  round,  and  keep  thee  in  on 
every  side.  And  shall  lay  thee 
even  with  the  ground,  and  thy 
children  within  thee;  and  they 
shall  not  leave  in  thee  one  stone

COVENANT. 


BETWEEN  GOD  AND  MAN, 
OR  MAN  AND  MAN,  RATIFIED 

BY  OATH  AND  SACRIFICE, 
AND  SOMETIMES  WRITTEN 
AND  SEALED. 
Cfen.  TV,  9-11,  17,  1&  And  he 
Bald  unto  him,  Take  me  an  heifer 
of  three  years  old,  and  a  she-goat 
or  three  years  old.  and  a  ram  of 
three  years  old,  and  a  tnrtle-dove, 
and  a  yonng  pigeon.  And  he  took 
nnto  him  all  these,  and  divided 
them  in  the  midst,  and  laid  eo/dh 

gieoe  one  against  another,  bat  the 
Irds  divided  he  not.  And  when 
the  fowls  came  down  npon  the 
carcases,  Abram  drove  them  away. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when 
the  sun  went  down,  and  It  was 
dark,  behold  a  smoking  ftunaoe. 
and  a  burning  lamp  that  passed 
between  those  pieces.  In  the 
same  day  the  Loan  made  a  cove- 
nant with  Abram,  saying,  Unto 
thy  seed  have  I  given  this  land, 
from  the  river  of  Egypt  nnto  the 
great  river,  the  river  Euphrates. 

Gen.  xxi,  23-32.  Now  therefore 
Bwear  unto  me  here  by  God,  that 
thou  wilt  not  deal  fiilsely  with  me, 
nor  with  my  son,  nor  with  my

Abraham  took  sheep  and  oxen, 
and  gave  them  unto  Abimelech: 
and  both  of  them  made  a  cove- 
nant. And  Abraham  set  seven 
ewe  lambs  of  the  flock  by  them- 
selves. And  Abimelech  said  unto 
Abraham,  What  mean  these  seven 
ewe  lambs  which  thou  hast  set  by 
themselves?  And  he  said.  For 
these  seven  ewe  lambs  shalt  thou 
take  of  my  hand,  that  they  may  be 
a  witness  unto  me,  that  I  have 
digged  this  well.  Wherefore  he 
called  that  place  Beer-ebel>a;  be- 
cause there  they  sware  both  of 
them.  Thus  they  made  a  cove- 
nant at  Beer-sheba:  then  Ablmer> 
lech  rose  up,  and  Phichol  the 
chief  captain  of  his  host,  and  they 
retnmed  into  the  land  of  the 
Phllistfaies. 

•<?en.  xjcvi,  ^-81.  And  they 
said,  We  saw  certainly  that  the 


Lo«D  was  with  thoe:  and  we  said. 
Let  there  be  now  an  oath  betwixt 
us,  even  betwixt  us  and  thee,  and 
let  us  make  a  covenant  with  thee; 
That  thou  wilt  do  us  no  hurt,  as 
we  have  not  touched  thee,  and  as 
we  have  done  nnto  thee  nothing 
but  good,  and  have  sent  thee 
away  in  peace:  thou  art  now  the 
blessed  of  the  Lobd.  And  he  made 
them  a  fsast.  and  they  did  eat  and 
drink.  And  they  rose  up  be- 
thnes  in  the  morning,  and  swore 
one  to  anothen  and  Isaac  sent 
them  away,  and  they  departed 
from  him  in  peace. 

Oef%  TXTl,  43-68.  And  Laban 
answered  and  said  unto  Jacob, 
These  daughters  are  my  daugh- 
ters, and  these  children  are  my 
children,  and  these  cattle  are  my 
cattle,  and  aU  that  thou  seest  is 
mine:  and  what  can  I  do  this  day 
unto  these  my  daughters,  or  unto 
their  children  which  they  have 
bom?  Now  therefore  come  thou, 
let  us  make  a  covenant,  I  and 
thou;  and  let  It  be  for  a  witness 
between  me  and  thee.  And 
Jacob  took  a  stone,  and  set  it  up 
/or  a  pillar.  And  Jacob  said  un- 
to his  brethren,  Gather  stones; 
and  they  took  stones,  and  made 
an  heap:  and  Chey  did  eat  there 
npon  the  heap.  And  Laban  called 
it  Jegar  -  sahadutha:  but  Jacob 
called  it  Galeed.  And  Laban  said, 
This  heap  is  a  witness  between 
me  and  thee  this  day.  Therefore 
was  the  name  of  it  called  Galeed; 
And  Mizpah:  for  he  said,  The 
Lord  watch  between  me  and 
thee,  when  we  are  absent  one 
from  another.  If  thou  shalt 
afEUct  my  daughters,  or  if  thou 
Shalt  take  other  wives  beside  my 
daughters,  no  man  is  with  us;  see. 
God  is  witness  betwixt  me  and 
thee.  And  t^aban  said  to  Jacob, 
Behold  this  heap,  and  behold  this 
pillar,  which  I  have  cast  betwixt 
me  and  thee;  This  heap  be  wit- 
ness, and  this  pillar  be  witness, 
that  I  will  not  pass  over  this  heap 
to  thee,  and  that  thou  shalt  not 
pass  over  this  heap  and  tills 
pillar  unto  me,  for  harm.  The 
God  of  Abraham,  and  the  God  of 
Nahor,  the  God  of  their  &ther. 
Judge  betwixt  us.  And  Jacob 
sware  by  the  Fear  of  his  fatlier 
Isaac.  Then  Jacob  offered  sacri- 
fice upon  the  mount,  and  called 
his  brethren  to  eat  bread:  and 
they  did  eat  bread,  and  tarried  all 
night  hi  the  mount.  And  eariy 
lu  the  morning  Laban  rose  up, 
and  kissed  his  sons  and  his

daughters,  and  blessed  them:  and 
Laban  departed,  and  returned  un- 
to his  place.

Chittim  shall  come  against  him: 
therefore  he  shall  be  grieved,  and 
return,  and  have  Indignation 
against  the  holy  covenant:  so 
shall  he  do;  he  shall  even  return, 
and  have  Intelligence  with  them 
that  forsake  the  holy  covenant. 
And  such  as  do  wickedly  against 
the  covenant  shall  he  corrupt  by

know  their  God  shall  be  strong,

That  he  may  establish  thee  to-day 
for  a  people  unto  himself,  and  that

hath  said  unto  thee,  and  as  he 
hath  sworn  unto  thy  fathers,  to 
Abraham,  to  Isaac,  and  to  Jacob.

shaU  consume  in  the  grave  ftom 
their  dwelling.

Job  viii,  la  19.  If  he  destroy 
him  ftom  his  place,  then  U  shall 
deny  him,  saving,  I  have  not  seen 
thee.  Behold,  this  is  the  joy  of 
his  way,  and  out  of  the  earth  shall 
others  grow. 

Job  xviU,  17.  His  remembrance 
shall  perish  from  the  earth,  and 
he  shall  have  no  name  in  the 
street. 

Job  XX,  a  He  shall  fly  away  as 
a  dream,  and  shall  not  be  found; 
yea,  he  shall  1>e  chased  away  as  a 
vision  of  the  night. 

Ps,  xxxl,  18. 1  am  forgotten  as  a 
dead  man  out  of  mind:  I  am  like  a 
broken  vessel. 

Ps.  Ixxxviil,  4, 6.  I  am  counted 
with  them  that  go  down  into  the 
pit;  I  am  as  a  man  that  hath  no 
strength.  Free  among  the  dead, 
like  the  slain  that  lie  hi  the  grave, 
whom  thou  rememberest  no  more: 
and  they  are  cut  off  fix>m  thy 
hand. 

Scdes.  U,  la  For  there  Is  no  re- 
membrance of  the  wise  more  than 
of  the  fool  for  ever. 

BDOes.  iv,  16.  27ksre  is  no  end  of 
all  the  people,  .even  of  all  that 
have  been  before  them:  they  also 
that  oome  after  shall  not  r^oice  in  •  * 
him.  Surely  this  also  is  vanity 
and  vexation  of  spirit. 

Eodes.  Tiii,  10.  And  so  I  saw 
the  wicked  buried,  who  had  come 
and  gone  from  the  place  of  the 
holy,  and  they  were  forgotten  in 
the  city  where  they  had  so  done. 
This  is  also  vanity.

grave  in  peace,  neither  shall  thine 
eyes  see  all  tike  evU  that  I  wiU 
bring  upon  this  place,  and  upon 
the  inhabitants  of  the  same.  So 
they  brought  the  king  word

Job  Hi,  17-19.  There  the  wicked 
cease /rom  troubling;  and  there 
the  weary  be  at  rest  There  the 
prisoners  rest  together;  they  hear 
not  the  voice  of  the  oppressor. 
The  small  and  great  are  there; 
and  the  servant  is  tne  from  his

Job  X,  21.  Before  I  go  whence  I

of  darkness,  and  the  shadow  of

these  were  the  Isles  of  the  Gentiles 
divided  in  their  laudr,  every  one 
after  his  tongno,  after  their

Stiebi,  and  Deiian.  And  Cush 
bespat  Nimrod:  he  be^ran  to  be  a 
mighty  one  In  the  earth.  And 
the  beginning  of  his  kingdom  was 
Babel,  and  Eiech,  and  Accad,  and 
Calneh,  in  the  hmd  of  SUinur. 
Out  of  that  land  went  forth 
Asshur,  and  bullded  Nineveh,  nnd 
tlie  city  Rehoboth,  nnd  Calah, 
And  Resen  between  Nineveh  uud 
Calali:  the  same  is  a  great  city. 
And  Mizralm  begat  Ludim,  and

and  the  Zemarlie  and  the  ifama-

Canaanltes  was  from  Sidon.  as 
thou  comest  to  Gerar,  unto  Gaza: 
as  thou  goest  unto  Sodom,  and 
Gomorrah,  and  Admah,  and  Ze-

are  the  sons  of  Hum,  after  their 
families,  after  their  tongues,  in 
their  countries,  and  In  their  na-

of  all  the  cliildreu  of  Eber,  the 
brother  of  Japheth  tlie  elder, 
even  to  him  were  children  bom. 
The  children  of  Shem;  Elam,  and 
Asshnr.and  Arphaxad,  and  Lud,

Aram;  Uz,  and  Hul.  and  Gether,

Salah;  and  Salah  begat  Eber. 
And  unto  Eber  were  bora  two 
sons:  the  name  of  one  vsas  Peleg; 
for  In  his  days  was  the  earth 
divided:  and  his  brother's  name 
was  Joktan.  And  Joktan  begat 
Almodad,  and  Sheleph,  and 
Hazarmaveth,  and  Jemh,  And 
Hadoram,  and  Uzal,  and  Dlkhih, 
And  Obal,  and  Abimaol,  and 
Sheba,  And  Ophir,  and  Havllah, 
and  Jobab:  ail  these  were  the 
sons  of  Joktan.  And  their  dwell- 
ing was  from  Mesha,  as  thou  go- 
est unto  Sephur.  a  mount  of  the 
east.  These  are  the  sons  of  SRem, 
after  their  families,  after  their 
tongueri.  In  their  lands,  after  thehr 
nations.  These  are  the  families 
of  the  sons  of  Noah,  after  their 
generations,  in  their  nations:  and 
by  these  were  the  nations  divided 
In  the  earth  after  the  flood.

his  substance,  which  he  had  got  in 
the  land  of  Canaan,  and  went  into 
the  country  fh)m  the  face  of  his 
brother  Jacob.  For  tlieir  riches 
were  more  than  that  they  might 
dwell  together;  and  the  land

Lord  Goo,  I  will  also  make  the 
multitude  of  Egypt  to  cease  by 
the  iiand  of  Nebuchadrezzar  king 
of  Babylon.  And  I  will  make  the 
rivers  dry,  and  sell  the  land  into 
the  hand  of  the  wicked;  and  I  will 
make  the  land  waste,  and  all  that 
is  therein,  by  the  hand  of  strang- 
ers: I  the  Lord  have  spoken  U. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  I  will 
also  destroy  the  idols,  and  I  will 
cause  their  images  to  coase  out  of 
Noph;  and  there  shall  be  no  more 
a  prince  of  the  land  of  Egypt:  and 
I  will  put  a  fear  in  the  land  of 
Egypt.  And  I  will  make  Patbros 
desolate,  and  will  set  fire  in  Zoan, 
and  will  execute  Judgments  in  No. 
And  I  will  pour  my  fury  upon  Sin, 
the  strength  of  Egypt;  and  I  will 
cut  off  the  multitude  of  No.  And 
I  will  set  fire  in  Egypt:  Sin  shall 
have  great  pain,  and  No  shall  l>e 
rent  asunder,  and  Noph  shall  have 
distresses  daily.  The  young  men 
of  Aven  and  of  Pblbeseth  shall 
fall  by  the#word:  and  these  cities 
shall  go  into  captivity.  At  Teha-

there  the  yokes  o|  Egypt;  and  the 
pomp  of  her  strength  sludl  cease 
in  hen  as  for  her,  a  cloud  shall 
cover  her,  and  her  daughters  shall 
go  into  captivity.  Thus  will  I 
execute  judgments  In  Egypt;  and 
they  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Loud.  And  I  will  scatter  the 
Egyptians  among  the  nations,  and 
will  disperse  them  through  the 
countries.  And  I  will  scatter  the 
Egyptians  among  the  nations,  and 
disperse  them  among  tlie  coun-

and  took  the  fords  of  Jordan  to-

Judges  xl,  16.  And  said  unto 
him,  Thus  salth  Jepbtliab,  Israel

nor  the  land  of  the  children  of 
Ammon. 

Suth  1, 2, 4.  And  the  name  of  the

fon,  Ephrathites  of  Beth-lebem-

one  full  line  to  keep  alive:  and  so 
the  Moabites  became  David's  ser- 
vants, and  brought  gifts. 

S  Kings  ill,  7,  la  And  he  went 
and  sent  to  Jchosbaphat  the  khig 
of  Judah,  saying,  The  king  of

Moab  to  battie?  And  he  said,  I 
will  go  up:  I  am  as  thou  art,  my 
people  as  thy  people,  and  my 
horses  as  thy  horses.  And  this  is 
tmt  a  light  thhig  in  the  sight  of

ness,  and  his  pride, and  his  wrath: 
but  bis  lies  sAoZfnotbeso.  Where- 
fore my  bowels  shall  sound  like  an 
harp  for  Moab,  and  mine  Inward 
pans  for  Kh>-haresh.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  when  it  Is  seen  that 
Moab  Is  weary  on  the  high  place, 
that  he  shall  come  to  his  sanctuary 
to  pray;  but  he  shall  not  prevail. 
Thiste  the  word  that  the  Lord 
hath  spoken  concerning  Moab 
since  that  time.  But  now  the 
Lord  hath  spoken,  saying,  Within 
three  years,  as  the  years  of  an 
hireling,  and  the  glory  of  Moab 
shall  be  contemned,  with  all  that 
great  multitude;  and  the  remnant 
shaU  be  very  small  and  feeble.

execute  Judgments  upon  Moab; 
and  they  shall  know  that  I  am

2  Peter  lU,  1-13.  This  second 
epistle,  beloved.  I  now  write  unto 
you;  ta  both  which  I  stir  up  yopr 

Sure  minds  by  way  of  remfem-* 
ranoe:  That  ye  may  be  mindful 
of  the  words  which  were  spoken 
before  by  the  holy  pnipheU?,  and 
of  the  commandment  of  us  the 
apostles  ot  the  Lord  and  Savloun 
Knowing  this  first,  that  there 
shall  come  In  the  last  days  scoffers, 
walking  after  their  own  Insts, 
And  saying,  Where  Is  the  promise 
of  his  coming?  for  since  the  fathers 
fell  asleep,  all  things  continue  as 
they  were  from  the  beginning  of 
the  creation.  For  this  they  will- 
ingly are  Ignorant  of,  that  by  tho 
word  of  God  t]|e  heavens  were  of 
old,  and  the  earth  standing  out  of 
the  water,  and  in  the  waten 
Whereby  the  world  that  then  ivas, 
being  overflowed  with  water, 
perished:  But  the  heavens  and 
the  earth  which  are  now,  by  the 
same  word  are  kept  ta  store,  re- 
served unto  flre  against  the  day 
of  Judgment  and  perdition  of  un- 
godly men.  But,  beloved,  be  not 
ignorant  of  this  one  thing,  tliat  one 
day  is  with  the  Lord  as  a  thousand 
years,  and  a  thousand  years  as 
one  day.  Tho  Lord  Is  not  slack 
concemtag  his  promise,  as  some 
men  count  slackness;  but  is  loug- 
suflering  to  us-ward.  not  willing 
that  any  should  perish,  but  that 
all  should  come  to  repentance. 
But  the  day  of  the  Lord  will  come 
as  a  thief  in  the  night;  ta  the 
which  the  heavens  shall  pass 
away  with  a  great  noise,  and  the 
elements  shall  melt  with  fervent 
heat,  the  earth  also,  and  the  works 
that  are  therein,  shall  be  burnt 
up.  Seeing  then  that  all  these 
thtags  shall  be  dissolved,  what 
manner  qf  persons  ought  ye  to  be 
in  all  holy  conversation  and  god- 
liness; Looking  for  and  hasting 
unto  the  coming  of  the  day  of 
God,  wherein  the  heavens,  being 
on  fire,  shall  be  dissolved,  and  the 
elements  shall  melt  with  fervent 
heatr  Nevertheless  we,  according 
to  his  promise,  look  for  new 
heavens  and  a  new  earth,  wherein 
dwelleth  righteousness.

unclean  seven  days;  according  to 
the  days  of  the  separation  for  her 
infirmity  shall  she  be  unclean. 
And  in  the  eighth  day  the  flesh  of 
his  foreskin  shall  be  circumcised. 
And  she  shall  then  conUnue  in  the 
blood  of  ber  purifying  three  and 
thirty  days:  she  shall  touch  no 
hallowed  tiling,  nor  come  into  the 
sanctuary,  until  the  days  of  her 


purifying  be  ftolfllled.  But  If  she 
bear  a  maid-child,  then  she  shall 
be  unclean  two  weeks,  as  In  her 
separation;  and  she  shall  continue 
in  the  blood  of  her  purifying 
threescore  and  six  days.  And 
when  the  days  of  her  purifying 
are  fnifilled,  for  a  son,  or  for  a 
daughter,  she  shall  liring  a  lamb  of 
the  first  year  for  a  burat-olTering,

issue  of  her  blood.  This  U  the 
law  for  her  that  hath  bom  a  male 
or  a 'female.  And  if  she  be  not 
able  to  bring  a  lamb,  then  she 
shall  bring  two  turtles,  or  two 
young  pigeons;  the  one  for  the 
bumt-offering,  and  the  other  for  a 
sIn-oiTeriog:  and  the  priest  shall 
make  an  atonement  for  her,  and

Szek.  xvl,' 4,  6.  And  as  for  thy 
nativity,  in  the  day  thou  wast 
bom  thy  navel  was  not  cut,  neither 
wast  thou  washed  In  water  to  sup- 
ple thee:  thou  wast  not  salted  at 
all,  nor  swaddled  at  all.  None 
eye  pitied  thee,  to  do  any  of  these 
unto  thee,  to  have  commpassion 
upon  thee;  but  thou  wast  cast  out

ABORTION.

timely birth  I  had  not  been;  as 
infiuits  which  never  saw  light. 

Ps.  Ivili,  8.  .  .  .  .  Let  every  one 
of  them  pass  awari  <^'e  the  un- 
timely birth  of  a  woman,  that 
they  may  not  see  the  sun. 

Eccles.  vI,  8-6.  If  a  man  beget 
an  hundred  children,  and  live 
many  years,  so  that  the  days  of 
his  years  be  many,  and  his  soul 
be  not  filled  with  good,  and  ali^o 
that  be  have  no  burial:  I  say,  that 
an  untimely  birth  is  better  than 
he:  For  he  cometh  in  with  vanity, 
and  departeth  in  darkness,  and  bis 
name  shall  be  covered  with 
darkness.  Moreover,  he  hath  not 
seen  the  sun,  nor  .known  any 
thing:  this  hath  more  rest  than 
the  other. 

Hosea  ix,  11, 14.  As  for  Bphralm, 
their  glory  shall  fiy  away  like  a 
bird,  from  the  birth,  and  from  the 
womb,  and  firom  the  conception. 
Give  them,  O  Lord:  what  wilt 
thou  give?  give  them  a  miscarry- 
ing womb  and  dry  breasts.

darkness  and  the  shadow  of  death 
stain  it:  let  a  cloud  dwell  upon  it;

not  come  into  the  number  of  the

solitary;  let  no  joyfUl  volte  come 
therein.  Let  them  curse  it  that 
curse  the  day,  who  are  ready  to 
raise  up  their  mourning.  Let  the 
stars  of  their  twilight  thereof  be 
dark;  let  it  look  for  light,  but  have 
none;  neither  let  it  see  the  dawn-

Joel  i,  2,  8.  Hear  this,  ye  old 
men,  and  give  ear,  all  ye  inhabl-

father    or    the    righteous    shall 
greatly  rejoice;  and  be  that  be-

of    him.     Thy   fother  and   thy 
mother  shall  be  glad,  and  she  that 
bare  thee  shall  rejoice. 

Prov.  xxTllI,  24.  Whoso  robbeth

unto  his  brethren.  And  he  said, 
Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of  Shem; 
and  Canaan  shall  be  his  servant.

And  Isaac  his  father  said  unto 
hlra.  Who  art  thou?  And  he  siild. 
I  am  thy  son.  thy  flrst-bom,  Esau. 
And  Isaac  trembled  very  exct^ed- 
Ingiy,  and  said,  Who?  where  is  he 
that  hath  taken  venison,  and 
brought  U  me,  and  I  have  eaten 
of  all  before  thou  camest,  and 
have  blessed  him?  yea,  and  be 
shall  be  blessed.  And  when  Ewiu 
heard  the  words  of  his  father,  he 
cried  with  a  great  and  exceeding 
bitter  cry,  and  said  unto  his  father, 
Bless  me,  eren  me  also,  O  my 
fatherl  And  he  said,  Thy  brother 
came  with  subtilty,  and  hath 
taken  away  th  v  blessing.  And  he 
said.  Is  not  he  rightly  named 
Jacob?  for  he  hath  supplanted  me 
these  two  times:  he  took  away 
'my  birthright;  and,  behold,  now 
he  hath  taken  away  my  blessing. 
And  be  said,  Hast  thou  not  re- 
served a  blessing  for  me?  And 
Isaao  answered  and  said  unto 
Esau,  Behold,  I  have  made  him 
thy  lord,  and  all  his  brethren  have 
I  glyen  to  bim  for  servants;  and 
with  com  and  wine  have  I  eus- 
talned  him:  and  what  shall  I  do 
now  unto  thee,  my  son?  And 
Esau  said  unto  his  fiithor,  Hast 
thou  but  one  blessing,  my  father? 
bless  me,  even  me  also,  O  my 
lathcrl  And  Esau  lifted  up  his 
voice,  and  wept. 

THE  FAMILY  PROPHECY 
OF  JACOB. 

Gen.  xllx,  1-28.  And  Jacob 
called  unto  hU«  sons,  and  said. 
Gather  yourselves  together,  that 
I  may  tell  you  that  which  shall 
befall  you  In  the  last  days.  Gather 
yourselves  together  and  hear,  ye 
sons  of  Jacob,  and  hearken  unto 
Israel  your  father.  Reuben,  thou 
art  my  flrst-bom,  my  might,  and 
the  beginning  of  my  strength,  thb 
excellency  of  dignity,  and  the  ex- 
cellency of  powen  Unstable  as 
water,  thou  shalt  not  excel;  be- 
cause thou  wentest  up  to  thy 
father's  bed;  then  deflledst  thou 
it:  he  went  up  to  my  couch. 
Simeon  and  Levi  are  brethren; 
Instmments  of  cruelty  are  in  their 
habitations.  O  my  soul,  come  not 
thou  Into  their  secret;  unto  their 
assembly,  mine  honour,  be  not 
thou  united!  for  In  their  anger 
they  slew  a  man,  and  in  their  self- 
will  they  digged  down  a  wall. 
Cursed  be  their  anger,  for  it  vas 
flerce;  and  their  wrath,  for  it  was 
cmehl  will  divide  tliem  in  Jacob, 
and  scatter  them  In  Israel.  Judah, 
thou  art  he  whom  thy  brethren 
shall  praise:  thy  hand  shall  be 
In  the  neck  of  thine  enemies:  thy 
father's  children  shall  bow  aown 
before  thee.  Judah  is  a  lion's 
whelp:  from  the  prey,  my  son, 
thou  art  gone  up:  be  stooped

Asher  his  bread  ahaU  be  Ut,  and

Naphtall  is  a  bind  let  loose:  he

bough  by  a  well,  wfiose  branches

God  of  Jacob;  (from  thence  is  tlie 
Shepherd,  the  stone  of  Israel:) 
£ven  by  tbe  God  of  thy  father, 
who  shall  help  thee,  and  by  tbe 
Almighty,  who  shall  bless  thee 
with  blessings  of  heaven  above, 
blessings  of  tbe  deep  that  lieth 
under,  blessings  of  the  breasts 
and  of  the  womb.  Tbe  blessings 
of  thy  father  have  prevailed  above 
the  blessings  of  my  progenitors 
unto  the  utmost  bound  of  the  ever- 
lasting bills:  they  bIioU  be  on  tbe 
head  of  Joseph,  and  on  tbe  crown 
of  the  bead  of  him  that  was  separ- 
ate from  his  brethren.  Benjamin 
shall  ravin  as  a  wolf:  in  the  mor-*

All  these  are  tbe  twelve  tribes  of 
Israel:  and  this  to  tt  that  thefr

1  Ohron.  xxl,  1-8.  And  Satan 
stood  up  against  Israel,  and  pro- 
voked David  to  number  Israel. 
And  David  said  to  Joab.  and  to 
the  rulers  of  the  people,  Go,  num- 
ber Israel,  firom  Beer-sheba  even 
to  Dan,  and  bring  the  number  of 
them  to  me,  that  I  may  know  tt. 
And  Joab  answered.  The  Loan 
make  his  people  an  hundred  times 
so  many  more  as  they  be:  but,  my 
lord  the  king,  are  they  not  aU  my 
lord's  servants^  why  then  doth  my

he  be  a  cause  of  trespass  to  IsraeV 
Nevertheless  the  king's  word  pre- 
vailed sgatnst  Joab:  wherefore 
Joab  departed,  and  went  through- 
out all  Israel,  and  came  to  Jero- 
salem.  And  Joab  gave  the  sum 
of  the  number  of  the  people  unto 
David.  And  all  thev  qf  Israel  weke

Levi  and  Benjamin  counted  he 
not  among  them:  for  the  Mug's

And  God  was  displeased  with  this 
thing;  therefore  he  smote  IsraeL 
And  David  said  unto  God,  I  have

1 8am.  zxTlii,  8-26.  Now  Samoel 
was  dead,  and  all  Israel  had 
lamented  him,  and  buried  him  in 
Rumah,  even  in  his  own  city:  and 
Saul  had  put  away  those  that  had 
famlUar  i>plrita,and  the  wizards, 
out  of  the  land.  And  the  Philis- 
tines gathered  themselves  to- 
gether, and  came  and  pitched 
in  Shunem;  and  Saul  gathered 
all  Israel  together,  and  they 
pitched  hi  Qllboa.  And  when 
Saul  saw  the  host  of  the  Phil- 
istines, be  was  afraid,  and  his 
heart  greatly  trembled.  And 
when  Saul  enquired  of  the  Lobo, 
the  Lo&o  aobwered  him  not, 
neither  by  dreamt,  nor  by  Urim, 
nor  by  prophets.  Then  said  Saul 
unto  his  servants,  Seek  me  a  wo- 
man that  hath  a  familiar  spirit,  that 
I  may  go  to  her,  and  euqnlre  of 
her.  And  his  servants  said  to  him, 
Behold,  there  is  a  woman  that 
hath  a  familiar  spirit  at  En-dor. 
And  Saul  diaguhted  himself,  and 
put  on  other  raiment,  and  he  went, 
and  two  men  with  hhn,  and  they 
came  to  the  woman  by  night:  and 
he  said,  1  pray  thee,  divine  unto 
me  by  the  fkmiilar  spirit,  and  bring 
me  him  np  whom  I  shall  name 
unto  thee.  And  the  woman  said 
onto  him.  Behold,  thun  knowest 
what  •aul  bath  done,  how  he  hath 
87S 


cot  off  those  that  bare  funfllar 
spirits,  and  ihe  wizards,  out  of  the 
lund:  when  furo  then  iuyestthon  a 
snare  for  my  life,  to  cause  me  to 
die?  And  .Saul  sware  to  her  by 
the  Lord,  saying.  As  the  Loan 
liveth,  there  ttliall  no  punishment 
happen  to  thee  for  this  thing. 
Tiien  said  the  woman,  Whom 
shall  I  bring  up  uuto  thee?  And 
he  said,  BrUig  me  up  Samuel. 
Andwhen  the  woman  saw  SamueL 
she  cried  with  a  loud  voice:  and 
the  woman  spake  to  Saul,  sayhig. 
Why  hast  thoa  deceived  me?  for 
thou  art  Saul.  And  the  khig  said 
unto  her.  Be  not  afraid:  for  what 
sawest  thou?  and  the  woman  siid 
uuto  Suul,  I  saw  gods  ascending 
out  of  Uie  earth.  And  he  said 
unto  her,  What  form  Is  he  of? 
And  she  said.  An  old  man  cometh 
up;  and  he  is  covered  with  a 
mantle.  And  Saol  perceived  thst 
It  vas  Samuel,  and  he  stooped 
with  his  fboe  to  the  ground,  and 
bowed  bimselt  And  Samuel  said 
to  Sanl,  Why  hast  thoa  disquieted 
roe,  to  bring  me  up?  And  Saul 
answered,  I  am  sore  distressed; 
for  the  Philistines  make  war 
against  me,  and  God  is  departed 
from  me,  and  answereth  me  no 
more,  neither  by  prophets,  nor  by 
dreams:  therefore  I  have  culled 
thee,  that  thoa  maytst  make 
known  unto  me  what  1  shall  do. 
Then  said  Samuel,  Wherefore 
then  dost  thou  ask  of  me.  seeing 
the  Loan  Is  departed  from  thee  and 
is  become  thine  enemy?  And  the 
Lord  hath  done  to  him  as  he 
fpake  by  me:  for  the  Lord  hath 
rent  the  kingdom  out  of  thine 
hand,  and  given  it  to  thy  neigh- 
bour, even  to  David:  Because 
thou  obeyedst  not  the  voice  of  the 
Lord,  nor  executedst  his  fierce 
wrath  upon  Amalek,  tlierelore 
hath  the  Lord  done  this  thing 
unto  thee  this  dav.  Moreover,  the 
Lord  will  also  deliver  Israel  with 
thee  into  tiie  hand  of  the  Plillis- 
tines;  and  to-morrow  shaU  thoa 
and  thy  sons  be  with  me:  the 
Lord  also  shall  deliver  the  host  of 
Israel  into  the  hand  of  the  Phil- 
istines. Then  Saul  fell  straight- 
way all  along  on  the  earth,  and 
was  sore  ahiald,  because  of  the 
words  of  Samuek  and  there  was 
no  strength  in  him;  for  he  had 
eaten  no  bread  all  the  day,  nor  all 
the  night.  And  the  woman  came 
unto  Saul,  and  saw  that  he  was 
vore  troubled,  and  said  unto  bim, 
Behold,  thine  handmaid  hath 
obeyed  thy  voice,  and  1  have  put 
my  life  in  my  hand,  and  have 
hearkened  onto  thy  words  which 
thou  spakest  unto  me:  Mow 
therefore,  I  pray  thee,  hearken 
thou  also  nnto  the  voice  of  thhie 
handmaid,  and  let  me  set  a  mursel 
of  bread  before  thee;  and  eat,  that 
thoa  may  est  have  strength  when

could  not  drink  of  the  water  of

And  the  magicians  of  Egypt  did

magicians  did  so  with  tlioir  en-

they  conid  not:  so  there  were  lice 
upoD  man  and  upon  beast.  Then 
the  magicians  said  unto  Pharaoh, 
This  is  the  finger  of  God:  and 
Pharaoh's  heart  was  hardened,

self was  some  great  one:  To 
whom  they  all  gave  heed,  from

This  man  is  the  great  power  of 
God.  And  to  him  they  had  regard,

the  Tagabond  Jews,  exorcists,

which  had  evil  spirits  the  name  of 
the  Lord  Jesus,  saying.  We  adjure 
you  by  Jesus,  whom  Paul  preacb- 
eth.  And  there  were  seven  eons 
of  one  SceTa,  a  Jew,  and  chief  of 
the  priests,  which  did  so.  And 
the  evil  spirit  answered  and  said, 
Jesus  I  know,  and  Paul  I  know; 
but  who  are  ye?  And  the  man  in 
whom  the  evil  spirit  was  leaped 
on  them,  and  orercame  them,  and 
prevailed  against  them,  so  that 
they  fled  out  of  that  house  naked 
and  wounded.  And  this  was 
known  to  all  the  Jews  and  Greeks 
also  dwelling  at  Ephesus;  and  fear 
fell  on  them  all,  and  the  name  of 
the  Lord  Jesus  was  magnified. 
And  many  that  belleyed  came, 
and  confessed,  and  shewed  their 
deeds.  Many  of  them  also  which 
nsed  curious  arts  brought  their 
books  together,  uid  burned  them 
before  all  men:  and  they  counted 
the  price  of  them,  and  Ibund  it

them  up  by  toe  roots  out  of  my

and  this  house,  which  I  have  eauo- 
tlfled  for  my  name,  will  I  cast  out 
of  my  sight;  and  will  make  it  to  be 
a  proverb  and  a  by-word  among 
all  nations.  And  this  house,  which 
is  high,  shall  be  an  astonishment 
to  every  one  that  passeth  by  It; 
so  that  he  shall  say,  Why  baih 
the  Loao  done  thus  nnto  this  land, 
and  nnto  this  houseP  And  it  shall 
be  answered.  Because  they  for- 
sook the  LoBD  God  of  their 
Withers,  which  brought  them  forth 
out  of  the  land  of  Egypt^  and  laid 
hold  on  other  gods,  and  worship-

Jer.  vlll,  19.  Behold  the  voico

In  Zionf  is  not  her  King  in  heif 
Why  have  thev  provoked  me  to

That  I  may  take  the  house  of

■Igtit  of  the  Lobd  thy  Qod,  to  pro- 
Toke  him  to  anger;  I  call  heaven 
and  earth  to  witness  against  you 
this  day,  that  ye  shall  soon  utterly 
perish  from  off  the  land  where- 
unto  ye  go  over  Jordan  to  possess

you  t'lis  day,  that  ye  shall  surely 
perish.  As  the  nations  which  the 
Lobd  destroyed  before  your  txce, 
BO  shall  ye  perish;  because  ye 
would  not  be  obedient  unto  the 
▼oice  of  the  Lobd  your  God. 

Deut.  xxix,  24 -2a  Even  all 
nations  shall  say.  Wherefore  hath 
the  Lord  done  thus  unto  this 
land?  what  meaneth  the  heat  of 
this  great  anger?  Then  men  phall 
say.  Because  they  have  forsaken 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord  God  of 
their  fathers,  which  he  made  with 
them  when  he  brought  them 
forth  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt: 
For  they  went  and  served  other 
gods,  and  worshipped  them,  gods 
whom  they  knew  not,  and  whom 
he  had  not  given  unto  them.  And 
the  anger  of  the  Lobd  was  kindled 
against  this  land,  to  bring  upon  It 
aU  the  cturses  that  are  written  in 
this  book.  And  the  Lobd  rooted 
them  out  of  their  land  in  anger,

they  forsook  the  Lord,  and

the  anger  of  the  Lobd  was 
hot  against  Israel,  and  he  de- 
livered them  into  the  hahds  of 
spoilers  that  spoiled  them,  and  he 
sold  them  into  the  hands  of  their 
enemies  round  about,  so  that  they 
could  not  any  longer  stand  before 
their  enemies.  Whithersoever 
they  went  out,  the  hand  of  the

also  will  not  henceforth  drive  out 
any  from  before  them  of  the 
nations  which  Joshua  left  when 
he  died;  That  through  them  I  may 
prove  Israel,  whether  they  will

it,  or  not.

the  groves:  Therefore  the  anger 
of  the  Lord  was  hot  against 
Israel,  and  he  sold  them  into  the 
hand  of  Chushan-rishathalm  king 
of  MesopoUmia:  and  the  children

had  commanded  him  concemhig 
this  thing,  that  he  should  not  go 
alter  other  gods:  but  he  kept  not 
that  whl(di  the  Lobd  commanded. 
Wherefore  the  Lobd  said  unto 
Solomon,  Forasmuch  as  this  is 
done  of  thee,  and  thou  hast  not 
kept  my  covenant  and  my 
statutes,  which  1  have  commanded 
thee,  I  will  surely  rend  the  king-

stirred  up  the  spirit  of  Ful  king 
of  Assyria,  and  the  spirit  of  Tll-

Judcd);  and,  behold,  this  day  they 
are  a  desolation,  and  no  man

wickedness  which  they  have  com- 
mitted, to  provoke  me  to  anger, 
in  that  they  went  to  bum  Inocnse,

oTid  desolate,  as  at  this  day. 
Therefore  now  thus  salth  the

might  cut  yourselves  off,  and 
that  ye  might  be  a  curse  and

Lord  said  nnto  him.  Take  thy

old,  and  throw  down  the  altar 
of  Baal  that  thy  father  hath,  and

And  build  an  altar  unto  the  Loao 
thy  God  upon  the  top  of  this  rock, 
in  the  ordered  place,  and  take  the 
second  bullock,  and  offer  a  bumt- 
sacrlfice  with  the  wood  of  the 
grove  which  thou  shalt  cut  down. 
Then  Gideon  took  ten  men  of  hla 
servants,  and  didas  the  Lord  had 
Faid  unto  hhm  and  so  it  was,  be- 
cause he  feared  his  father's  houso- 
hold,  and  the  men  of  the  dty,  that 
he  could  not  do  it  by  day,  that  he 
did  it  by  night  And  when  the 
men  of  the  dty  arose  early  In  the

was  cast  down,  and  the  grove  was 
cut  down  that  vxis  by  it,  and  the 
second  bullock  was  offered  upon 
the  altar  that  was  built.  And 
they  said  one  to  another,  Who 
hath  done  this  thing?  And  when 
they  enquired  and  asked,  they 
said, Gideon  the  sonof  Joasli  hath 
done  this  thing.  Then  the  men  of 
the  dty  said  unto  Joash,  Bring 
out  thy  son,  that  he  may  die;  be- 
cause be  hath  cast  down  the  altar 
of  Baal,  and  becanse  he  hath  cut 
down  the  grove  that  was  by  it. 
And  Joash  said*  unto  all  that 
stood  agahist  him,  Will  ye  plead 
for  Baal?  will  ye  save  him?  he  that 
will  plead  for  him,  let  him  be  put 
to  death  whilst  U  is  yet  morning: 
if  he  be  a  god,  let  him  plead  for 
himself,  because  one  hath  cast 
down  his  altar.  Therefore  on  that 
day  he  called  hbn  Jembbaal,  say- 
ing. Let  Baal  plead  against  him, 
because  he  hath  thrown  down  his 
altar.

Judges  xvUi,  30,  31.  And  the

Gershom,  the  son  of  Manasseh,

as  the  heathen,  as  the  families  of

Israel,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God, 
Go  ye,  serve  ye  every  one  bis

pollute  ye  my  holy  name  no  more

Acts  xvil,  16-ia  Now  while  Paul 
waited  for  them  at  Athens,  hla 
spirit  was  stirred  in  him.  when  he 
saw  the  city  wholly  given  to  idola- 
try. Therefore  disputed  he  in  the 
synagogue  with  the  Jews,  and 
with  the  devout  persons,  and  in 
the  market  daily  with  them  that 
met  with  hUn.  Then  certain 
philosophers  of  the  Epicureans, 
and  of  the  Stolcks,  encountered 
him.  And  some  said.  What  will 
j  this  babbler  say?  other  some.  He

And  Aaron  said,  Let  not  the  anger

est  the  people,  that  they  art  set 
on  mischief.  For  they  said  unto 
me.  Make  ns  gods,  which  shall

the  man  that  brought  ns  up  out  of

they  tnmcd  quickly  ont  of  the 
way  which  their  fathers  walked 
in.  obeying  the  commandments 
of  the  Loan;  but  they  did  not  so. 
And  when  the  Loan  raised  them 
np  Judges,  then  the  Loan  was 
with  the  Judge,  and  delivered 
them  out  of.  the  hand  of  their 
enemies  all  the  days  of  the  Judge: 
for  it  repented  the  Loan  because 
of  tbehr  groanings,  by  reason  of 
them  that  oppressed  them,  and 
vexed  them.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  the  judge  was  dead. 
that  they  returned,  and  corrupted 
themselves  more  than  their  Ikthers, 
tn  following  other  gods  to  serve

Pharisees  were  gathered  together, 
Jesus  asked  them.  Saying,  What 
think  ye  of  Christ?  whose  son  Is 
he?  They  say<  unto  him,  The  son  of 
David.  He  saith  unto  them,  How 
then  doth  David  in  spirit  call  him 
Lord,  saying.  The  Loan  said  unto 
my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on  my  right

himself  saith  in  the  book  of 
Psalms,  The  Loan  said  unto  my 
Lord,  Sit  then  on  my  right  hand. 
Till  I  make  thine  enemies  thy 
footstool.  David  therefore  calleth 
blm  Lord,  how  is  he  then  his  son? 

John  1, 14 And  we  be- 
held his  glory,  the  glory  as  of 
the  only  begotten  of  the  Father. . . 

Jolm  V,  17-21.  But  Jesus  answer- 
ed them,  Hy  Father  worketh 
hitherto,  and  I  work.  Therefore 
the  Jews  sought  the  more  to  kill 
him,  because  he  not  only  had 
broken  the  Sabbath,  but  said  also 
that  God  was  his  Father,  making 
hUnself  equal  with  God.  Then 
answered  Jesus,  and  said  unto 
them,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you.  The  Son  can  do  nothing  of 
himself,  but  what  he  seeth  the 
Father  do:  for  what  thin;;H  soever 
he  doeth,  these  also  docth  the  S«»n 
likewise.  For  the  Fuiher  loveth 
the  Son,  and  she  wet  b  him  all 
things  that  himself  doeth:  and  he 
vrill  shew  him  greater  works  than 
these, that  ye  may  monel.  For 
as  the  Father  ralEeth  up  the  dead, 
and  qnickeneth  ffiem;  even  so  the 
Bon  qulckeneth  whom  he  wilL 

JbAfi  vlll,  19. 38.  Then  said  they

Jesus  answered,  Ye  neither  know 
me,  nor  my  Fathen  if  ye  had 
known  me,  ye  should  have  known 
my  Father  also.  I  speak  that 
which  I  have  seen  with  my 
Father;  and  ye  do  that  which  ye 
have  seen  with  your  lather. 

John  X,  80-36.  I  and  my  Father 
are  one.  Then  the  Jews  took  up 
stones  again  to  stone  him.  Jesus 
answered  them.  Many  good  works 
have  I  showed  you  fh)m  my 
Father;  for  which  of  those  works 
do  ye  stone  me?  The  Jews  ans- 
wered blm,  saying.  For  a  good 
work  we  stone  thee  not,  but  for 
blasphemy;  and  because  that  then, 
being  a  man,  makest  thyself  God. 
Jesns  answered  them.  Is  It  not 
written  In  your  law,  1  said.  Ye 
are  gods?  If  he  called  them  gods 
unto  whom  the  word  of  God  came, 
and  the  Scripture  cannot  be 
broken;  Say  ye  of  him,  whom 
the  Father  hath  sanctified,  and 
sent  into  the  world.  Thou  blas- 
phemest;  because  I  said,  I  am  the 
Son  of  God?

John  XV,  23, 24.  He  that  hateth 
me,  hateth  my  Father  also.  If  I

they  had  not  had  sin:  but  now 
have  they  both  seen  and  hated 
both  me  and  my  Father. 

John  xTll,  10, 21-23.  And  all  mine

thou  gavest  me  I  have  given

as  we  are  one:  I  In  them,  and 
thon  in  me,  that  they  may  be

I$a.  1111, 1-8.  Who  hath  bellered

arm  of  the  Lord  revealed?  For 
he  shall  grow  up  before  him  as  a 
tender  plant,  and  as  a  root  out  of 
a  dry  ground:  he  hath  no  form 
nor  oomelinees;  and  when  we 
shall  see  hhn.  there  is  no  beauty 
that  we  should  desire  him.  He  Is 
despised  and  rejected  of  men;  a 
man  of  sorrows,  and  acquainted 
with  grleft  and  we  hid  as  It  were 
ourfiioeB  ftom  him;  he  was  des- 
pised, and  we  esteemed  him  not. 

MattJL   xiil,  18-1&     Therefore 
speak  I  to  them  in  parables:  be- 
cause they  seeing,  see  not;  and 
bearing,  they  hear  not;  neither 
do  they  understand.    And  in  them 
Is  fQlfllied  the  prophecy  of  Esaias. 
wliich  salth.  By  hearing  ye  shall 
hear,  and  shall  not  anderstancjh 
and  seeUig  ye  shall  see.  and  shall  \ 
not  perceive:    For  this  people's  , 
heart  is  waxed  gross,  and  their  i 
ears  are  dull  of  hearing,  and  their  I 
eyes  they  have  closed;  lest  at  any  | 
time  they  should  see  with  their 
eyes,  and  hear  with  their  ears,  and  ' 
should    understand    with    their 
heart,  and  should  be  converted, 
and  I  should  heal  them. 

Matth.  XV,  7-9.  Te  hypocrites* 
well  did  Esaias  prophecy  of  you, 
saying,  Tiiis  people  draweth  nigh 
unto  me  with  their  mouth,  and 
honoureth  me  with  their  lips;  but 
their  heart  Is  fi&r  from  me.  But 
in  vain  they  do  worship  me,  teach- 
ing for  doctrines  the  command- 
ments of  men. 

John  xil,  87-40.  But  though  he

the  prophet  might  be  fulfilled, 
which  he  spake,  Lord,  who  hath 
believed  our  report?  and  to  whom 
hath  the  arm  ot  the  Lord  been  re- 
vealed? Therefore  they  could  not 
believe,  because  that  Esoiaa  said 
again.  He  hath  blinded  theh- 
eyes,  and  hardened  their  heart; 
that  they  should  not  see  with 
their  eyes,  nor  trnderstand  with 
thtir  heart,  and  be  converted,  and 
1  should  heal  them.

John  XX,  9.  For  as  yet  thoy 
knew  not  the  scripture,  that  he 
must  rise  again  from  the  dead. 
*  ^rfsII,25-Sl.  For  David  speaketh 
concerning  him,  I  foresaw  the 
Lord  always  before  my  face;  for 
he  is  on  my  right  hand,  that  I 
should  not  be  moved:  Therefore 
did  my  heart  rejoice,  and  my 
tongue  was  glad;  moreover  also, 
my  flesh  shall  rest  in  hope:  Be- 
cause thou  wnt  not  leave  my  soul 
In  hell,  neither  wilt  thou  suffer 
thine  Holy  One  to  see  cormpUon. 
Thou  hast  made  known  to  me  the 
ways  of  life;  thou  shalt  make  me 
full  of  joy  with  thy  countenance. 
Men  and  brethren,  let  me  freely 
speak  unto  you  of  the  oatrlarch 
David,  that  he  Is  both  dead  and 
buried,  and  his  sepulchre  is  with 
us  unto  this  day.  Therefore  being 
a  prophet,  and  knowlQ«r  that  God 
had  sworn  with  an  oath  to  him, 
that  of  tbe  fi'ult  of  bis  lohis,  ac- 
cording to  the  flesh,  he  would 
raise  up  Christ  to  sit  on  his  throne; 
He,  seoing  this  before,  spake  ol 
the  resurrection  of  Christ,  that  his 
soul  wan  not  left  in  hell,  neither 
his  tle.Hh  did  see  corruption. 

Acts  xili,  32, 83.  And  we  declare 
unto  you  glad  tidings,  how  that 
the  promibO  which  was  made  unto 
the  fatherH,  Ood  hath  lulAllod 
the  same  unto  us  their  children, 
In  that  he  hath  raised  up  Jesus 
again :  as  it  is  also  written  In  the 
second  psalm.  Thou  art  my  Son, 
this  day  have  I  begotten  thee. 

Acts  xvll,  8.  Opening  and  al- 
ledging  that  Christ  must  needs 
have  suffered,  and  risen  again 
from  the  dead;  and  that  this  Jesus* 
whom  I  preach  unto  you,  Is  Christ. 

1  Cor.  XV,  2, 4.  By  which  also  ye 
are  saved,  If  ye  keep  In  memory 
what  I  preached  unto  you,  imlesB 

ye  have  believed  In  vain. 

That  he  was  buried,  and  that  he 
rose  again  the  third  day  according 
to  tbe  Scriptures.

SOME  POINTS  m  HIS 

HISTORY. 

l^BIRTH  AND  CHILDHOOD. 

AS  nr  MATTHEW. 

IfaWi.  1. 18-2 1 ,  24.  Now  the  hirth 
of  Jeans  Christ  was  on  thto  wise: 
When  as  hto  dother  Mary  was 
espoused  to  Joseph,  hefure  they 
came  together,  she  was  fonnd  with 
child  of  the  Holy  Ghost.  Then 
Joseph  her  hosband,  being  a  Jost 
man.  and  not  willing  to  make  her 
a  pnblick  example,  was  minded  to 

Eat  her  away  privily.  But  while 
e  thought  on  these  things,  be- 
hold, the  angel  of  the  Lord  ap- 
peared anto  him  in  a  dream,  say- 
ing, Joseph,  thoa  son  of  David, 
fear  not  to  take  nnto  thee  Mary 
thy  wife;  for  that  which  to  con- 
ceived in  her  to  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 
And  she  shall  bring  forth  a  son, 
and  thou  sbalt  call  his  name 
JESUS:  for  he  sliall  save  hto 
people  ftrom  their  sins.  Then 
Joseph,  being  raised  from  sleep, 
did  as  the  angel  of  the  Loao  had 
bidden  him,  and  took  nnto  him 
hto  wife. 

Matth.  U,  19-23.  Bot  When 
Herod  was  dead,  behold,  an  angel 
of  the  Lord  sppeared  In  a  dream 
to  Joseph  In  Eg>'pt,  Saying. 
Arise,  and  take  the  yonng  child 
and  his  mother,  and  go  Into  the 
land  of  Israel :  for  they  are  dead 
which  sought  the  yonng  child's 
life.  And  he  arose,  and  took  the 
yonng  child  and  hto  mother,  and 
came  into  the  land  of  IsraeL  Bnt 
when  he  heard  that  Archelavs 
did  reign  in  Jndea  in  the  room  of 
hto  father  Herod,  he  was  afraid  to 
go  thither:  notwithstanding,  being 
warned  of  God  in  a  dream,  he 
tnmed  aside  into  the  parts  of 
QaUlee :  And  he  came  and  dwelt 
In  a  city  called  Nasareth:  that  it 
might  be  fulfilled  which  was 
spoken  by  the  prophets,  He  shall 
be  called  a  Nazarene. 

As  nr  JjXjkm, 
Luke !,  28-81 .  85, 88, 42-88.  And  the 
angel  came  in  onto  her,  [Mary] 
and  said.  Hall,  thou  Mai  art  highly 
favonreo,  the  Lord  is  with  thee: 
blessed  art  thoa  among  women. 
And  when  she  saw  him,  she  was 
troubled  at  hto  saying,  and  cast  in 
her  mind  what  manner  of  saluta- 
tion thto  should  be.  And  the 
angel  said  unto  her.  Fear  not, 
Mary:  for  thou  hast  fonnd  t&vour 
with  God.  And,  behold,  thoa 
Shalt  conceive  in  thy  womb,  and 
brioff  forth  a  son,  and  shalt  call 


Us  name  JESUS.  And  the  angel 
answered  and  said  unto  her.  The 
Holy  Ghost  shall  oomn  upon  thee, 
and  the  power  of  the  Highest 
shall  over-shadow  thee;  therefore 
atoo  that  holy  thing,  which  shall 
be  bom  of  thee,  shall  be  called 
the  Son  of  God.  And  Mary  said. 
Behold  the  handmaid  of  the 
Lord;  be  It  unto  me  according  to 
thy  word.  And  the  angel  depart- 
ed from  her.  And  she  [Elizabeth! 
spake  out  with  a  loud  voice,  and 
said,  Blessed  art  thou  among 
women,  and  blessed  is  the  f^ult  of 
thy  womb.  And  whence  is  thto 
to  me,  that  the  mother  of  my 
Lord  should  come  to  me?  Eor, 
lo,  as  soon  as  the  voice  of  thy 
salutation  sounded  In  mine  ears, 
the  babe  leaped  In  my  womb  for 
Joy.  And  blessed  is  she  that  be- 
lieved: for  there  shall  be  a  per- 
formance of  those  things  which 
were  told  her  from  the  Lord.  And 
Mary  said,  My  soul  doth  magnify 
the  Lord,  And  my  spirit  hath  re- 
joiced In  God  my  Saviour.  For 
he  hath  regarded  the  low  estate 
of  hto  handmaiden;  for,  behold, 
from  henceforth  all  generations 
shall  call  me  blessed.  For  he  that 
to  mighty  hath  done  to  me  great 
things;  and  holy  is  hto  name..  And 
his  mercy  is  on  them  that  fear 
him  hrom  generation  to  generation. 
He  hath  shewed  strength  with  hto 
arm:  he  hath  scattered  the  proud 
In  the  imagination  of  their  hearts. 
He  hath  put  down  the  mighty 
n-om  thetr  seats,  and  escalted  them 
of  low  degree.  He  hath  filled  the 
hungry  with  good  things;  and  the 
rich  he  hath  sent  empty  away. 

Luke  H,  10. 11,  18,  14,  17-26, 88, 
34.  89-41,  42-51.  And  the  angel 
said  unto  them,  Hhe  shepherds] 
Fear  not:  for,  behold,  I  bring  you 
good  tidings  of  great  Joy,  which 
shall  be  to  all  people.  For  unto 
you  to  bom  thto  day.  in  the  city  of 
David,  a  Saviour,  which  to  Christ 
the  Lord.  And  suddenly  there 
was  with  the  angel  a  multitude 
of  the  heavenly  host,  pratohig 
God,  and  saying.  Glory  to  God  in 
the  highest,  and  on  earth  peace, 
good  will  toward  men.  And  when 
they  had  seen  U,  [the  chUd]  they 
made  known  abroad  the  saying 
which  was  told  them  concerning 
thto  child.  And  aU  they  that 
heard  it  wondered  at  those  things 
which  were  told  them  by  the 
shepherds.  But  Mary  kept  all 
these  thhigs,  and  pondered  them 
In  her  heart  And  the  shepherds 
returned,  glorifying  and  praising 
God  for  all  the  things  that  they 
had  heard  and  seen,  as  It  wss  told 
unto  them.  And  when  eight 
days  were  aocompltohed  for  the 
circumcising  of  the  child,  hto  name 
was  called  JESUS,  which  was  so 
named  of  the  angel  before  he  was 
conceived  In  the  womb.  And 
when  the  days  of  her  purlflcatlouy 


according  to  the  liw  nl  Moses, 
were  aocoroplUliMl.  they  brought 
him  to  Jerusalem,  to  prf eent  htm 
to  the  Lord;  (As  it  to  written'  in 
the  law  of  the  Lord,  Every  male 
that  openeth  the  womb  shall  be 
called  holy  unto  the  Lord:)  And 
*to  offer  a  sacrifice,  according  to 
that  which  to  said  in  the  lawot 
the  Lord,  a  pair  of  turtle  doves, 
or  two  young  pigeons.  And,  be- 
hold, there  was  a  man  in  Jerusa- 
lem, whose  name  teas  Simeon;  and 
the  same  manuxu  Just  tfnd  devout, 
waiting  for  the  consolation  of 
Israeh  and  the  Holy  Ghost  was 
upon  him.  And  it  was  revealed 
nnto  him  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  that 
he  should  not  see  Death,  before 
he  had  seen  the  Lord's  X^hrlst^ 
And  Joseph  and  his  mother  mar- 
velled at  those  things  which  were 
spoken  of  him.  And  Simeon 
blessed  them,  and  said  unto  Mary 
hto  mother.  Behold,  thto  child  to 
set  for  the  fkll  and  rising  again 
of  many  in  Israel;  and  for  a  sign 
which  shall  be  spoken  against. 
And  when  they  had  performed  all 
thinn  according  to  the  tow  of  the 
Lord,  they  returned  into  Galilee, 
to  their  own  city  Nazareth.  Ana 
the  child  grew,  and  waxed  strong 
in  spirit,  filled  with  wisdom;  and 
the  grace  of  God  was  upon  him. 
Now  his  parents  went  to  Jerusa- 
lem every  year  at  the  feast  of  the 
passover.  And  when  he  was 
twelve  years  old,  tliey  went  up  to 
Jerusalem,  after  the  custom  of  the 
feast  And  when  they  had  fulfilled 
the  days,as  they  returaed,the  child 
Jesus  tarried  behind  in  Jerasalem; 
and  Joseph  and  hto  mother  knew 
not  qf  it.  But  they,  supposing  him 
to  have  been  in  the  company,  went 
a  day's  Journey:  and  they  sought 
hhn  among  their  Unsfolk  and 
acquaintance.  And  when  they 
found  him  not,  they  turned  back 
again  to  Jerusalem,  seeking  him. 
And  it  came  to  pas^  that  after 
three  di*>s,  they  found  hbn  In  the 
temple,  sitting  In  the  midst  of  the 
doctors,  both  hearing  them,  and 
asking  them  questions.  And  all 
that  heard  him  were  astontohed 
at  htounderstandbig  and  answers. 
And  when  they  saw  him,  they 
were  amazed:  and  hto  mother  said 
unto  hbn.  Son,  why  hast  thou 
thus  dealt  with  xu»  behold,  thy 
father  and  I  have  sought  thee 
sorrowing.  And  he  said  unto 
them.  How  to  it  that  ye  sought 
me?  wist  ye  not  that  I  must  be 
about  my  Father's  business?  And 
they  understood  not  the  saying 
which  he  spake  unto  then).  And 
he  went  down  with  them  and 
came  to  Nazareth,  and  was  sub- 
ject unto  them:but  hto  mother  kept 
all  these  sayings  in  her  heart

would  not  walk  In  Jewry,  because 
the  Jews  sought  to  kill  him.  Now 
the  Jew^  feast  of  tabernacles  was

BiBTH  OV  TBM  BAPTIST. 

Luke  i.  5.  6. 8-14. 16  57, 68. 60, 6S. 
66, 80.  There  was,  In  the  days  of 
Herod  the  king  of  Jndea,  a  cer- 
tafai  priest  named  Zacharias,  of 
the  course  of  Abia:  and  his  wUb 
teas  of  the  daughters  of  Aaron, 
and  her  name  was  Elisabeth.  And 
they  were  both  righteous  before 
God,  walking  hi  all  the  command- 
ments and  ordinances  of  the  Lord 
blameless.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
that,  while  he  executed  the 
priest's  office  before  Ck>d  in  the 
order  of  bis  course,  According  to 
the  custom  of  the  priest's  office^ 
his  lot  was  to  bum  Incense  when 
he  went  into  the  temple  of  the 
Lord.  And  the  whole  multitude 
of  the  people  were  praying  with- 
out at  the  time  of  incense.  And 
there  appeared  unto  him  an 
angel  of  the  Lord  standing  on  the 
right  side  of  the  altar  of  incense. 
And  when  Zacharias  saw  him,  he 
was  troubled,  and  fear  fioll  upon 
him.  But  the  angel  said  unto 
him.  Fear  not,  Zatnarias:  for  thy 
prayer  is  heard:  and  thy  wife 
Elisabeth  shall  bear  thee  a  son, 
and  tbou  shalt  call  his  name  John. 
And  thou  Shalt  baye  Joy  and  glad- 
ness; and  many  shaU  rejoice  at  his 
birth.  And  many  of  the  children 
of  Israel  shall  he  turn  to  the  Lord 
their  God.  Now  Elisabeth's  full 
time  came  that  she  should  be  de> 
liyered;  and  she  brought  forth  a 
son.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  on 
the  eighth  day  they  came  to 
circumcise  the  child;  and  they 
called  bim  Zacharias,  after  the 
name  of  his  Ikther.  And  bis

And  Jesns  answered  and  said

There  Is  another  that  beareth

LukeVA,  8,  4,  16~ia  And  he 
came  into  all  the  country  about 
Jordan,  preaching  the  baptism  of 
repentance  for  tbe  remission  of 
sins;  As  it  is  written  in  the  book 
of  the  words  of  Esaias  the  prophet, 
saying,  Tbe  voice  of  one  crying  in 
tbe  wilderness.  Prepare  ye  the 
way  of  the  Lord,  make  his  paths 
straight.  And  as  the  people  were 
in  expectation,  and  all  men  mused 
in  their  hearts  of  John,  whether 
he  were  the  Christ,  or  not;  John 
answered,  saying  nnto  them  all,  I 
Indeed  baptise  you  with  water, 
but  one  mightier  than  I  cometh, 
the  latchet  of  whose  shoes  I  am 
notworthyto  unloose:  be  shall  bap- 
tize yon  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  and 
with  fire:  Whose  fan  <«  in  bis 
hand,  and  he  vrlll  thoroughly 
purge  bis  floor,  and  will  gather 
the  wheat  into  bis  gamer,  but 
tbe  chaff  he  will  bum  witli  fire 
unquenchable.  And  many  other 
things,  in  his  ezhortatioo,  preacii- 
ed  he  unto  the  people. 

John  1, 6-9, 16  19,  25, 96,  28,  80, 
81.  There  was  a  man  sent  frum 
God,  whose  name  vxu  John.  The 
same  came  for  a  witness,  to  bear 
witness  of  the  Light,  that  all  tivtn 
tlirongh  him  might  believe.  He 
was  not  that  Light,  but  was  sent 
to  bear  witness  of  that  Light. 
That  was  the  trae  Light,  which 
ligiiteth  ever5*man  that  cometh 
into  the  world.  John  bare  wit- 
ness of  hhn,  and  cried,  saying. 
This  was  he  of  whom  I  spake, 
He  that  oomeUi  after  me  is  pre- 
ferred before  me;  for  be  was  before 
me.  And  this  is  the  record  of 
John,  when  the  Jews  sent  priests 
and  Levltes  from  Jerusalem  to 
ask  him,  Who  art  thou?  And  they 
asked  him,  and  said  nnto  him, 
Why  baptlzest  thou  then,  if  thon 
be  not  that  Christ,  nor  Ellas, 
neither  that  prophet?  John  an- 
swered them,  saying,  I  baptize 
with  water,  but  there  standeth  one 
among  yon,  whom  ye  know  noi^ 
These  things  were  done  in  Betha- 
bara  beyond  Jordan,  where  John 
was  baptizing.  This  is  he  of  whom 
J  said,  Alter  me  cometh  a  man 
which  is  preferred  before  me:  for 
he  was  before  me.  And  I  knew 
him  not:  but  that  he  should  be 
made  manifest  to  Israel,  there- 
fore am  I  come  baptizing  with 
water. 

John  ill,  96-^,  88, 88.  And  they 
came  unto  John,  and  said  unto 
him.  Rabbi,  he  that  was  with  thee 
beyond  Jordan,  to  whom  thon 
barest  witness,  behold,  the  same 
baptizeth.  and  all  men  come  to 
him.  Jonn  answered  and  said, 
A  man  can  receive  nothing,  ez- 
cept  it  be  given  him  from  heaven. 
Ye  yourselves  bear  me  witneai^

fulfilled  his  course,  he  said,  Whom

Jesus,  when  he  came  out,  saw

I  know  not:  one  thing  I  know,  that^ 
whereas  I  was  blind,  now  |  see. 
Then  said  they  to  him  again, 
What  did  he  to  thee?  how  opened

them,  I  haye  told  yon  already,  and 
ye  did  not  hear;  wherefore  would 
ye  hear  ii  again?  will  ye  also  he

him,  and  said,  Tboo  art  his  dis- 
ciple; bat  we  are  Hoses'  disciples. 
We  know  that  God  spake  unto 
Moses:  <ujar  this/sttow,  we  know 
not  from  whence  be  is.  The  man 
answered  and  said  onto  them. 
Why,  herein  isa  manrellons  thhig, 
that  ye  know  not  from  whence 
he  Is,  and  yet  he  hath  opened 
mine  eyes. 

John  X,  6,  S4.  This  parable 
spake  Jesns  onto  them:  bat  they 
understood  not  what  things  they 
were  which  he  spake  onto  them. 
Then  came  the  Jews  roond  about 
him,  and  said  nnto  hfan,  How  long 
dostthon  make  as  to  doabt?  If 
tboa  be  the  Christ,  tell  os  plainly. 

John  xi.  47, 48, 54.  Then  gather- 
ed the  chief  priesta  and  the  Phari- 
sees a  cuonsel,  and  said,  Wliat  do 
we?  for  this  mau  doelh  many  mir- 
acles. If  we  let  him  thos  alone,  all 
men  will  believe  on  him;  and  the 
Romans  shall  come  and  takeaway 
both  onr  place  and  nation.  Jesus 
therefore  walked  no  more  openly 
among  the  Jews;  but  went  thence 
unto  a  country  near  to  the  wilder^ 
ness.  Into  a  city  called  Ephraim, 
and  there  ooutiuued  wUh  his  dis- 
ciples. 

John  xlil,  7, 13.  Jesus  answered 
and  said  unto  him,  What  I  do  thou 
knowestnot  now;  but  thou  shalt 
know  hereafter.  So,  after  he  had 
washed  their  feet,  and  had  taken 
his  garments,  and  was  set  down 
agiin,  he  said  unto  them,  Know 
ye  vv  hat  I  have  done  to  you? 

John  xlv,  4, 5.  And  whither  I  go 
ye  know,  and  the  way  ye  know. 
Thomas  saith  unto  him,  Lord,  we 
know  not  whither  thou  goest; 
and  how  can  we  know  the  way? 

JoAnxvU.6,  6.  But  now  I  go 
my  way  to  him  that  sent  me;  and 
none  of  you  asketh  me.  Whither 
goest  thou?  But  because  I  have 
said  these  things  unto  you,  sorrow 
hath  filled  your  heart. 

John  xvll.  17-19.  Then  said 
9om&  of  his  disciples  among  them- 
selves, What  is  this  that  he  saith 
nnto  us,  a  little  while,  and  ye  shall 
not  see  me:  and  again  a  little 
while,  and  ye  shall  see  me:  and.. 
Because  1  go  to  the  Father?  They 
sold  therelore.  What  is  this  that 
he  saith,  A  little  whil^  we  cannot

/oAnxxI,  88.  Then  went  this 
saying  abroad  among  the  breth- 
ren, that  that  disciple  should  not 
die:  yet  Jesus  said  not  unto  him.

Pharisees  saw  U,  they  said  unto

Master  with  publicans  and  sinners? 
But  the  Pharisees  said.  He  casteth 
out  devUs  through  the  prince  of 
the  devils. 

MaWi.  X,  96.  It  Is  enough  fbr  the 
disciple  that  he  be  as  his  master, 
and  the  servant  as  his  lord.  If 
they  have  caUed  the  Master  of  the 
house  Beelzebub,  bow  much  more

dom is  Justified  of  her  children. 

MaUh,  xU,  S4.  But  when  the 
Pharisees  heard  U,  they  said, 
This/eUoi0  doth  not  cast  out  devils, 
but  by  Beelzebub,  the  prince  of 
the  devils. 

Jfa^.xv,19.  Then  came  his 
dlsclpUM,  and  said  unto  him, 
Knowest  thou  that *lhe  Pliaristies 
were  offended,  after  they  heard 
this  saying? 

Matth.  xxU,  15,  16.  Then  went 
the  Pharisees,  and  took  counsel 
how  they  might  entangle  him  in 
his  talk.  And  they  sent  out  unto 
hhn  their  disciples  with  the 
Uerodians,  sayhig,  Master,  we 
know  that  thou  art  true,  and 
teachest  the  way  of  God  in  truth, 
neither  carest  thou  for  anymon; 
for  thou  regardest  not  the  person 
of  men. 

JtorfcT,  14,  16,  17.  And  they 
that  fed  the  swine  fled,  and  told  it 
in  the  dty,  and  in  the  country. 
And  they  went  out  to  see  what  It 
was  that  was  done.  And  they 
come  to  Jesns,  and  see  hhn  that 
was  possessed  with  the  devil,  and 
had  the  legion,  sitUug,  and  cloth-

they  were  afraid.  And  the/  be-

Luke  Iv,  28.  And  he  said  onto 
them.  Ye  will  surely  say  unto  me 
this  proverb.  Physician,  heal  thy-

Luke  vUI,  87.  Then  the  whoia 
multitude  of  the  oountrv  of  the 
Oadarones  round  about  besought 
him  to  depart  from  them:  for  they 
were  taken  with  great  tear.  And 
he  went  op  into  the  ship,  and  r»> 
turned  back  again. 

Luke  xl,  19, 68, 64.  And  If  1  by 
Beelzebub  oast  out  devils,by  whom 
do  your  sons  cast  them  out?  there- 
fore shall  they  be  your  Judges. 
And  as  he  said  these  thhigs  unto 
them,  the  scribes  and  the  Phari- 
sees began  to  urge  Aim  vehement- 
ly, and  to  provoke  him  to  speak  of 
many  things:  Layhig  wait  for 
him,  and  seeking  to  catch  some- 
thing out  of  his  mouth,  that  they 
might  accuse  him. 

Luke  XT,  1, 9.  Then  drew  nesr 
onto  him  all  the  publicans  and

John  1, 46.  And  Nathanael  said 
unto  him.  Can  there  any  good 
thing  come  outof  Nazareth?  Philip 
saith  unto  hhn.  Come  and  see. 

John  vl,  00.  Many  therefore  of 
his  disciples,  when  they  heard 
this,  said.  This  is  an  hard  saying; 
who  can  hear  it? 

John  vU,  28,  27,  40-42,  47,  4S, 
62.  But  lo,  he  speaketh  boldly, 
and  they  say  nottUng  unto  hhn. 
Do  the  rulers  know  Indeed  that 
this  Is  the  very  Christ?  How- 
belt  we  know  tlils  man  whence 
he  is:  but  when  Christ  cometh, 
no  man  knoweth  whence  he  is. 
Many  of  tlie  people  therefor*, 
when  they  heard  this  saying,  said. 
Of  a  truth  this  Is  the  Prophet. 
Others  said,  This  Is  the  Christ 
But  some  said.  Shall  Christ  oome 
out  of  (ialilee?  Hath  not  the  scrip- 
ture sald.That  Christ  cometh  of  the 
seed  of  David,  and  out  of  thetowv 
of  Bethlehem,  where  David  was? 
Then  answered  them  the  Pharl- 
sees,  Are  ye  also  deceived?  Have 
any  of  the  rulers,  or  of  the  Phari- 
sees, believed  on  him?  They  an- 
swered and  said  unto  him.  Art 
thou  also  of  Galilee?  Search,  and 
look:  for  out  of  Galilee  arlseth  no 
prophet. 

John  vm,  49,  62,  68.  Jesus  an-

JESTJS  CHRIST. 

they  peroeiyed  that  he  had  spoken 
this  parable  against  them. 

John  y,  16,  16.  The  man  do- 
parted,  and  told  the  Jews  that  it 
was  Jesus  which  had  made  him 
whole.  And  therefore  did  the 
Jews  persecute  Jesos.  and  sought 
to  slay  him.  because  he  had  done 
these  thhigs  on  the  sabbath-day. 

John  yii,  19,  80,  88.  Did  not 
Moses  glye  you  the  law,  and  yet 
none  of  you  keepeth  the  law?  Why 
go  ye  about  to  kill  me?  The 
people  answered  and  said.  Thou 
hastadeyH:  who  goeth  about  to 
kill  thee?  The  Pharisees  heard 
that  the  people  murmured  such 
things  concerning  him;  and  the 
Pharisees  and  the  chief  priests 
sent  oflloers  to  take  him. 

John yiU, 87, 40, 60.  Iknow that 
ye  are  Abraham's  seed:  but  ye 
seek  to  kill  me,  because  my  word 
hath  no  place  In  you.-  But  now  ye 
seek  to  kill  me,  a  man  that  hath 
told  you  the  truth,  which  I  haye 
heard  of  God :  this  did  not  Abra- 
ham. Then  took  they  up  stones 
to  cast  at  him:  but  Jesus  hid  him- 
self, and  went  out  of  the  temple, 
going  through  the  midst  of  them, 
and  so  passed  by. 

Jokn  x;  81,  89,  40.  Then  th« 
Jews  took  up  stones  again  to  stone 
him.  Therefore  they  sought  again 
to  take  blm,  but  he  escaped  out  of 
their  hand.  And  went  away  again 
beyond  Jordan,  into  the  place 
where  John  at  first  baptized;  and 
there  he  abode. 

•roAnzi,7,8,67.  Then  after  that 
salth  he  to  Aif  disciples,  Let  us 
;  go  bito  Judea  again.  Hi$  dis- 
ciples say  unto  him.  Master,  the 
Jews  of  late  sou^^t  to  stone  thecK 
and  ffoest  thou  thither  again? 
Now  both  the  chief  priests  and 
the  Pharisees  had  given  a  com- 
mandment, that,  if  any  man  knew 
where  he  were,  he  should  show 
U,  that  they  might  take  him.

OF  CHRISrS  MINISTRY. 

I^TEMPTATION  IN  THE 
DESERT  OF  JUDEA. 

iMke  iy,  1-18.  And  Jesus,  being 
foil  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  returned 
trovEL  Jordan,  and  was  led  by  the 
Spirit  into  the  wilderness.  Being 
forty  days  tempted  of  the  deyU. 
And  in  those  days  he  did  eat  no- 
thing: and  when  they  were  ended, 
he  afterward  hungered.  And  the 
deyil  said  onto  him.  If  thou  be  the 
Son  of  God,  command  this  stone 
that  It  be  made  bread.  And 
Jesos  anmrered  him,  saying.  It  Is 
written,  That  man  shall  not  liye 
by  bread  alone,  but  by  eyery  word 
of  God.  And  the  deyil,  taking 
hhn  up  Into  an  high  nKwmtatw, 
801 


showed  unto  htm  all  the  klng(f  nms 
of  the  world  In  a  moment  of  time. 
And  the  deyU  said  unto  him,  AU 
this  power  will  I  glye  thee,  and 
the  glory  of  them:  for  that  is  de- 
livered unto  me;  and  to  whomso- 
eyer  I  will  I  give  it.  If  thou  there- 
fore wilt  worship  me,  all  shall  be 
thine.  And  Jesus  answered  and 
said  unto  him.  Get  thee  behind 
me,  Satan:  for  it  is  written.  Thou 
Shalt  worship  the  Lord  thy  God, 
and  him  only  shalt  thou  serve. 
And  he  brought  him  to  Jerusa- 
lem, and  set  him  on  a  pinnacle  of 
the  temple,  and  said  unto  him.  If 
thou  be  the  Son  of  God,  cast  thy- 
self down  from  hence:  For  it  is 
written,  He  shall  give  his  angels 
charge  over  thee,  to  keep  thee; 
And  in  their  hands  they  shall 
bear  thee  up,  lest  at  any  time  thou 
dash  thy  foot  against  a  stone.  And 
Jesus  answering,  said  unto  him, 
It  Is  said.  Thou  shalt  not  tempt 
the  Lord  thy  God.  And  when  the 
devil  had  ended  all  the  tempta- 
tion, he  departed  fh>m  him  for  a

IN  VARIOUS  PARTS  OF 

THE  COUNTRY. 
UoOth.  iv,  18, 18,  88.  Now  when 
Jesus  had  heard  that  John  was 
cast  into  prison,  he  departed  into 
Galilee;  And  leaving  Nazareth, 
he  came  and  dwelt  in  Capernaum, 
which  is  upon  the  sea  coast,  in  the 
borders  of  Zabulon  and  Naph- 
thalim:  And  Jesus  went  about 
all  GalUee,  teaching  in  their  syna- 
gogues, and  preaching  the  gospel 
of  the  kingdom,  and  healing  all 
manner  of  sickness,  and  all  man- 
ner of  disease,  among  the  people. 

iMke  iv,  14.  And  Jesus  returned 
In  the  power  of  the  Spirit  into 
Galilee:  and  there  went  out  a  fame 
of  him  through  all  the  region 
round  about. 

John  t,  85-46,  47.  Agahi,  the 
next  day  after,  John  stood,  and 
two  of  his  disdples;  And  looking 
upon  Jesus  as  he  walked,  he  salth. 
Behold  the  Lamb  of  GodI  And 
the  two  disciples  heard  him  speak, 
and  they  followed  Jesus.  Then 
Jesus  turned,  and  saw  them  fol- 
lowing, and  salth  unto  them.  What 
seek  ye?  They  said  unto  blm. 
Rabbi,  (which  Is  to  say,  being  in- 
terpreted. Master,)  where  dwell- 
est  thou?  He  salth  onto  them, 
Come  and  see.  They  came  and 
saw  where  he  dwelt,  and  abode 
with  htm  that  day:  for  it  was 
about  the  tenth  hour.  One  of  the 
two  which  heard  John  tpeak,  and 
fidlowed  him,  was  Andrew,  Simon 
Peter's  brother.  He  first  findeth 
his  own  brother  Simon,  and  salth 
onto  hhn.  We  have  found  the 
Messias,  whi<A  Is,  being  Interpret-

beheld  him,  he  said,  Tboa  arl 
Simon  the  son  of  Jona:  thon  sbalt 
be  eailed  Cephas,  mrhlch  Is.  by  in- 
terpretation, A  Btone.  The  day 
following  Jesus  would  go  forth 
Into  Galilee,  and  flndeth  Philip, 
and  saith  unto  him.  Follow  me. 
Kow  Philip  was  of  Bethsalda,  the 
city  of  Andrew  and  Peter.  Philip 
fludeth  Mathanael,  and  saith  unto 
him,  We  have  found  blm  of  whom 
Hoses  in  the  law,  and  the  pro- 
phets, did  write,  Jesns  of  Nasa- 
reth,  the  son  of  Joseph.  Jesna 
saw  Nathanael  coming  to  him,  and 
saith  of  him,  Behold  an  Israelite 
Indeed,  in  whom  there  is  no  goile. 

John  H,  12. 18, 23.  After  this  he 
went  down  to  Capernaum,  be,  and 
bis  mother,  and  his  brethren,  and 
his  disciples:  and  they  continued 
there  not  many  days.  And  the 
Jews'  passover  was  at  hand;  and 
Jesns  went  up  to  Jerusalem. 
Now,  when  he  was  in  Jerusalem 
at  the  pnssover,  in  the  feast-cfay, 
many  believed  in  his  name,  when 
they  saw  the  miracles  which  be 
did. 

John  m,  22-24.  After  these 
things  oime  Jesus  and  his  dis- 
ciples into  the  land  of  Judeo;  and 
there  he  tarried  with  them,  and 
baptized.  And  John  also  was 
baptizing  in  ^non,  near  to  Salim, 
because  iliere  was  much  water 
there;  and  they  came  and  were 
baptizod:  For  John  was  not  yet 
oast  into  prison. 

John  iv,  3-5,  43,  45,  46.  He 
[Jesus']  left  Ju ilea,  and  departed 
again  into  Galilee.  And  he 
mast  needs  go  through  Samaria. 
Tlien  comet  h  he  to  a  city  of 
Samaria,  which  is  called  Sychar, 
near  to  the  parcel  of  ground  that 
Jacob  gave  to  his  son  Joseph. 
Now,  alter  two  days  he  de- 
parted lhence„rfrom  Sychar]  and 
went  into  GalUee.  Then,  when 
he  was  come  into  Galilee,  the 
Galileans  received  liim,  having 
seen  all  tho  things  that  he  did  at 
Jerusalem  at  the  feast:  for  they 
also  went  unto  the  feast.  So 
Jcsufl  came  again  into  Cana  of 
Onlilee,  where  he  made  the  water 
wine.  And  there  was  a  certain 
nobleman,  whose  son  was  sick  at 
Capernaum. 

John  V,  1.  After  this  there  was 
a  feast  of  the  Jews;  and  Jesus 
went  up  to  Jerusalem. 


Mark  m,7,  9,  13-19.  But  Jesus 
withdrew  himself  with  his  dia- 
dples  to  the  sea:  and  a  great  mul- 
titude from  Galilee  followed  him, 
and  from  Judeo.  And  ho  spalce 
to  his  disciples,  that  a  small  ship 
shon!d  wait  on  blm  because  of  the 
multitude, lesi  they  should  throng

wbom  he  would:  and  they  came 
unto  him.  And  he  ordained 
twelve,  that  they  should  be  with 
him,  and  that  he  might  send  them 
forth  to  preach,  And  to  have 
power  to  heal  sicknesses,  and  to 
cast  out  devils.  And  Simon  he 
sumamed  Peter,  And  James  the 
son  of  Zebedee,  and  John  tie 
brother  of  James;  (and  he  sur- 
named  them  Boanerges,  whicb  is, 
The  sons  of  thunder;)  And 
Andrew,  and  Philip,  and  Bartho- 
lomew, and  MaUbew,  and  Thomas, 
and  James  the  son  of  Alpheus, 
and  Thaddeus,  and  Simon  the 
Canaanite,  And  Judas  Iscarlot. 
which  also  betrayed  bim:  and  they 
went  into  an  house. 


Luke  viii,  l-S,  26,  40.  And  It 
came  to  pass  afterward,  that  he 
went  throughout  every  dty  and 
village,  preaching  and  shewing 
the  glad  tidings  of  the  kingdom 
of  God;  and  the  twelve  were  with 
him,  And  certain  women,  which 
bad  been  healed  of  evil  spirits 
and  Infirmities,  Mary  called 
Magdalene,  out  of  whom  went 
seven  devils,  And  Joanna  the 
wife  of  Chuza,  Herod's  steward, 
and  Suitanna,  and  many  others, 
which  ministered  nnte  him  of 
their  substance.  And  tliey  arrived 
at  the  country  of  the  Gadarenee, 
which  is  over  against  Gulilee. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when 
Jesns  was  returned,  the  people 
gladltf  received  him:  for  they 
were  all  waiting  for  him. 

Mark  viti,  27.  And  Jesus  went 
out,  and  his  disciples,  into  the 
towns  of  Cesarea  PhilippI:  and 
by  the  way  he  asked  his  disciples, 
saying  unto  them,  Whom  do  men 
say  that  I  am? 

Luke  Ir,  1-6, 10,  11, 61, 62.  Then 
he  called  his  twelve  disciples  to- 
gether, and  gave  them  power  and 
authority  over  all  devils,  and  to 
cure  diseases.  And  he  sent  them 
to  preach  the  kingdom  of  God, 
and  to  heal  tho  sick.  And  he 
said  unto  them,  Take  notliing  for 
your  Journey,  neither  stavett,  nor 
scrip,  neither  bread,  neither 
money;  neither  have  two  coats 
apiece.  And  whatsoever  house 
ye  enter  into,  there  abide,  and 
thence  depart  And  whosoever 
will  not  receive  you,  when  ye  go 
out  of  that  city,  shake  off  the  very 
dust  flrom  your  feet  for  a  testi- 
mony against  them.  And  they 
departed,  and  went  through  the 
towns,  preaching  the  gospel,  and 
lieallng  every  where.  And  the 
apostle8,when  they  were  returned, 
told  him  ail  tiiat  they  had  done. 
And  he  took  tliem.  and  went  aside 
privately  into  a  desert  place  l)e- 
longing  to  tho  city,  called  Beth- 
salda. And  the  people,  when  they 
knew  iL  followed  him:  and  he 
302 


received  them,  and  spake  unto 
tlieiu  of  the  kingdom  of  God,  and 
healed  them  that  had  need  of  heal* 
Ing.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  time  was  come  that  he  should 
be  received  up,  he  stedfostly  s^ 
his  face  to  go  to  Jerusalem,  And 
sent  messengers  before  his  face: 
and  they  went,  and  entered  Into  a 
village  of  the  Samaritans,  to  make 
ready  lor  him. 

Luke  xiii,  82.  And  he  went 
throngh  the  cities  and  villages, 
teaching,  and  journeying  toward 
Jerusalem. 

John  X,  22,  23.  And  It  was  at 
Jerusalem  the  feast  of  the  dedi- 
cation, and  it  was  winter.  And 
Jesus  walked  in  the  temple  In 
Solomon's  porch. 

John  xi,  64.  Jesus  therefore 
walked  no  more  openly  among 
the  Jews;  but  went  thence  unto 
a  country  near  to  the  wlld^mes^ 
into  a  dty  called  Ephraim,  ana 
there  continued  with  his  disdples. 

John  xt,  55-67.  And  the  jSws* 
passover  was  nigh  at  hand:  and 
many  went  out  of  the  country  up 
to  Jerutolem  before  tlie  passovor, 
to  purify  themselves.  Then  • 
sought  they  for  Jesus,  and  spake 
among  themselves,  as  I  hey  stood 
In  the  temple,  What  think  ye.  thnt 
he  will  not  come  to  the  feast? 
Now  both  tho  chief  priests  and 
the  Pharhtees  bad  given  a  com- 
mandment, that,  if  any  man  knew 
where  he  were,  he  should  show 
U,  that  they  might  take  him. 


8^-SOLEMN  ENTRY  INTO 
JERUSALEM. 

Mark  xl,  1-11.  And  when  they 
came  nigh  to  Jerusalem,  unto 
Bethphage  and  Bethany,  at  the 
mount  ot  Olives,  he  sendeth  forth 
two  of  his  disciples,  And  saith 
unto  them,  Go  your  way  into  the 
village  over  against  you:  and  aa 
soon  as  ye  be  entered  into  It,  ye 
shall  find  a  colt  tied,  whereon 
never  man  sat;  loose  bim,  and 
bring  him.  And  If  any  man  say 
unto  you.  Why  do  ye  this?  say  ye 
that  tho  Lord  hath  need  of  hiia; 
and  straightway  be  will  send  him 
hither.  And  tliey  went  their  way, 
and  found  the  colt  tied  by  the  door 
without,  In  a  place  where  two 
ways  met;  and  they  loose  him. 
And  certain  of  them  that  stood 
there  said  unto  them.  What  do  ye. 
loosing  the  coll?  And  they  said 
nnto  them  even  as  Jesus  had 
commanded:  and  they  let  them 
go.  And  they  brought  the  colt 
to  Jesus,  and  cast  their  garments 
on  hhn;  and  he  sat  upon  him.  And 
many  qmad  their  garments  in 
the  way;  and  others  cut  down 
branches  off  the  tree^,  and  atrawed

w -nt  berore,  and  they  thatlullow-

of  the  Lord;  BIo«ed  be  the  king^ 
dom  of  our  lalher  David,  that 
Cometh  In  the  name  of  the  Lord: 
Hosanna  in  the  highest.  And 
Jesns  entered  into  Jemtalem, 
and  Into  the  temple:  and  when  he 
had  looked  round  about  upon  all 
tilings,  and  now  the  eren-tide 
was  come,  he  went  oat  onto 
Bethany  with  the  twelve. 

John  x\l,  1-8.  Then  Jesus,  six 
doys  before  the  passover,  came  to 
Bethany,  where  Lazams  was 
which  had  been  dead,  whom  he 
raised  from  the  dead.  There 
they  made  him  a  sapper,  and 
Martha  sonred:  but  Lazaros  was 
one  of  them  that  sat  at  thn  table 
with  him.  Then  took  Mary  a 
pound  of  ointment  of  spikenard, 
Terycostly,  and  anointed  the  feet 
of  Jesus,  and  wiped  his  feet  with 
her  hair,  and  the  house  was  filled 
with  the  odour  of  the  ointment. 
Then  snith  one  of  his  disciplen, 
Jndas  lAcariot,  Slmpn's  son,  wnlch 
should  betray  him,  Why  was  not 
this  ointment  sold  for  three  hun- 
dred pence,  and  given  to  the  poor? 
This  he  said,  not  that  he  cared  for 
the  poor:  bat  because  be  was  a 
thief,  ana  had  the  bag,  and  bare 
what  was  put  therein.  Then  said 
Jesus.  Let  her  alone:  against  the 
day  uf  my  burying  hath  she  kept 
tills.  For  the  poor  always  ye 
have  with  yuu;  but  me  ye  taave 
nut  always. 

4.— LAST  PASSOVER. 
Luke  xxU.  7-ia  Then  came  the 
day  uf  unleavened  bread,  when 
the  passover  must  be  killed.  And 
he  sent  Peter  and  John,  saying, 
Oo  and  prepare  as  the  passover. 
that  we  may  eat.  And  they  said 
onto  him,  Where  wilt  thim  that 
we  prepare?  And  he  said  unto 
them,  BehoM,  when  ye  are  entered 
into  tiio  city,  there  shall  a  man 
meet  you,  bearing  a  pitcher  of 
water,  follow  him  into  the  house 
whore  he  entcreth  in.  And  ye 
■hall  say  unto  the  goodman  of  the 
house.  The  Mobtor  saith  unto 
thee.  Where  is  the  guest-cliamber, 
Whore  I  shall  eat  the  passover 
with  my  disciples?  And  he  shaU 
■hew  you  a  large  upper  room  fur- 
nished: thero  make  ready.  And 
tbev  went,  and  found  as  be  had 
■aid  unto  tliem:  and  they  made 
ready  the  passover.  And  when 
the  hour  was  come,  he  sat  down, 
and  the  twelve  apostles  with  him. 
And  he  said  unto  them,  With  de- 
sire 1  have  desired  to  eat  this 
pojwtovcr  with  you  before  I  suffer: 
For  I  say  unto  y«u,  1  will  not  any

and  said,  Take  this,  and  divide  U

you,  1  will  not  drink  of  the  fruit

6.— TREACHERY  OP  JUDAS. 
Luke  xxll.  8.  'Then  entered 
Satan  Into  Judas  sumamed  Isca^ 
liot.  beina^  of  tho  number  of  the 
twelve. 

John r\,70, 71.  Jesus  answered 
them.  Have  not  I  chosen  you 
twelve,  and  one  of  you  Is  a  devil? 
He  spake  of  Judas  Iscarlot,  the 
son  of  Simon;  for  he  it  was  that 
sliould  betray  him,  being  one  of 
the  twelve. 

John  xill,  2, 27-«L  And  supper 
being  ended,  the  devil  having  now 
put  into  the  heart  of  Judas 
Iscarlot,  Simon's  eon,  to  betray 
him.  And  after  tlie  sop  Satan 
entered  Into  him.  Then  said 
Jesus  unto  hhn,  That  thou  doest, 
do  quickly.  Now  no  man  at  the 
table  knew  for  what  intent  he 
spake  this  unto  him.  For  some  qf 
them  thought,  because  Judos  had 
the  bag,  that  Jesus  had  said  unto 
him,  Buy  those  iMngs  that  we 
have  need  of  against  the  feast;  or, 
that  be  should  give  somethbig  to 
the  poor.  He  then,  having  re- 
ceived the  sop,  went  immediately 
out:  and  It  was  night  Therefore, 
when  he  was  gone  oat,  Jesus 
said,  Now  Is  ^he  Son  of  man 
glorified,  and  God  Is  gloriflod  In 
hUn. 

Acts  1. 16-19.  Men  and  brethren, 
This  scripture  must  needs  have 
been  fdllilled,  wliich  the  Holy 
Ghost,  by  the  mouth  of  David, 
spake  before  concerning  Judas, 
which  was  guide  to  them  that 
took  Jesus.  For  lie  was  number- 
ed with  us,  and  had  obtained  part 
of  this  ministry.  Now  this  man 
purchased  a  field  with  the  reward 
o(  iniquity,  and  falling  headlong, 
he  burst  asunder  in  the  midst,  and 
all  his  bowels  gushed  out.  And  it 
was  known  unto  all  the  dwellers 
at  Jerusalem;  Insomuch  as  that 
field  Is  called,  in  their  proper 
tongue,  Aceldama,  that  10  to  say. 
The  field  of  blood.

Matlh.  zxvl,  8-fi.  Then  assem-

and  the  scribes,  and  the  elders  of 
tho  people,  unto  the  palace  of  the 
high  priest)  who  was  called

r^HIS  TRIAL. 


Matth.  zxTi.  66-^ Then 

all  the  disciples  forsook  him,  and 
flo'l.  And  they  that  had  laid 
bold  on  Jesus  led  him  away  to 
Caiiiplias  the  high  priest,  where 
the  scribes  and  the  elders  were 
assembled.  But  Peter  follow- 
ed him  a&r  off  unto  the  high 
priest'8  palace,  and  went  In,  and 
sat  with  the  Berrants,  to  see  the 
end. 

John  xvm,  IS,  1&  Then  the 
band  and  the  captain  and  offlcere 
of  the  Jews  took  Jesus,  and 
bonnd  him,  And  led  him  away 
to  Annas  first:  (for  he  was  father- 
in-law  to  Caiaphas  which  was 
the  high  priest  that  same  year.) 

MattA,  XX  vi*  69-61,66, 06.  Now 
the  chief  prie«t8,  and  elders,  and 
all  the  council,  sought  false  wit- 
ness against  Jcsns,  to  put  him  to 
death;  But  found  none:  yea, 
though  many  fblse  witnesses  came, 
vet  found  they  hone.  At  the  last 
came  two  false  witnesses.  And 
said,  TMs/eUoio  said,  I  am  able  to 
destroy  the  temple  of  God,  and  to 
build  it  in  three  days.  Then  the 
high  ilMest  rent  his  clothe8,8aying, 
He  hath  spoken  blasphemy,  what 
farther  need  have  we  of  witnesses? 
behold,  now  ye  have  heard  his 
blaaphemy.  What  think  ye?  They 
answered  and  said,  He  IsguUty  of 
death. 

Mark  xlv.  69, 61, 68.  Bnt  neither 
so  did  their  witness  agree  toge- 
ther. But  he  held  bis  peace,  and 
answered  nothing.  Again  the 
high  priest  asked  him,  and  said 
unto  him,  Art  thou  the  Christ,  the 
8on  of  the  Blessed?  And  Jesus 
said,  I  am:  and  yp  shall  see  the 
Son  of  man  sitting  on  the  right 
hand  of  power,  and  coming  in  the 
donds  of  heaven.

Jesus  fh>m  Caiaphas  unto  the  hall

they  themselves  went  not  Into  the 
judgment-hall,  lest  they  should  be

Matth,  zxvil,  11,  16,  17,  99- 
26.  And  Jesus  stood  before 
the  ffovemon  and  the  governor 
asked  him,  saying.  Art  thou  the 
King  of  the  Jews?  And  Jesus  said 
onto  him,  Thou  sayest  Now  at 
that  feast  the  governor  was  wont 
to  release  unto  the  people  a  pri- 
soner, whom  they  would.  There- 
fore, when  they  were  gathered  to- 
gether, Pilate  said  unto  them, 
whom  will  ye  thkt  I  release  unto 
you?  Barabbas,  or  Jesus  which  is 
called  Chrisl?  But  the  chief 
priests  and  elders  persuaded  the 
multitude  that  they  should  osk 
Burabbas,  and  destroy  Jesus.  The 
governor  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Whether  of  the  twain  will 
ye  that  I  release  unto  you  ?  They 
said,  Barabbas.  Pilate  saith  unto 
them,  What  shall  I  do  then  with 
Jesus  which  Is  called  Christ?  77^ 
all  say  unto  him.  Let  liim  be  cru- 
clfled.  And  the  governor  suid, 
Why,  what  evil  hath  he  done? 
But  they  cried  out  the  more,  say- 
ing, Let  him  be  crucified.  When 
Pilate  saw  that  he  could  prevail 
nothing,  but  that  mhertk  tumult 
was  made,  he  took  water,  and 
washed  hi8  hands  before  the  raul- 
tiiude,  saying,  I  am  innocent  of 
the  blood  of  this  Just  person:  see 
yeto  U.  Then  answered  all  the 
people,  and  said,  His  blood  be  on

Mark  xy,  7.  And  there  was  one 
named  Barabbas,  vshich  lay  bound

mitted murder  in  the  insnrrection. 

Lvke  xxiU,  10, 25.  And  the  chief

John  xvili,29,  80,  83-35.  Pilate 
then  went  out  unto  Uiem,  and 
said,  What  aocnsation  bring  ye 
against  this  man?  They  answered 
and  said  unto  him,  If  he  were  not 
a  malefactor,  we  would  not  have 
delivered  him  up  unto  thee.  Then 
Pilate  entered  into  the  Judgment- 
hall  again,  and  called  Jesus,  and 
said  unto  him.  Art  thou  tlie  Ring 
of  the  Jews?  Jesus  answered  tjim, 
Sayest  thou  this  tiling  of  thyftelt, 
or  did  others  tell  it  thee  of  m(4 
Paate  answered.  Am  I  a  Jew? 
Thine  own  nation  and  the  chief 
priests  have  delivered  thee  unto 
me.   What  hast  thon  done? 

John  Hz,  7.12, 18, 15, 16.  The  Jews 
answered  bun.  We  have  a  law, 
and  by  onr  law  he  ought  to  die, 
because  he  made  himsolf  the  Son 
of  God.  And  from  thenceforth 
Pilate  songht  to  release  him:  but 
the  Jews  cried  out,  saying,  It  thon 
let  this  man  go,  thou  art  not 
Cesar's  fiiend:  whosoever  mak- 
eth  himself  a  king  speaketh 
against  Cesar.  When  Pilate 
therefore  heard  that  saying,  he 
brouglit  Jesus  forth,  and  sat 
down  In  the  Judgment  seat  in  a 
place  that  is  called  the  Pave- 
ment, bnt  In  the  Hebrew,  (;ab- 
batha.  But  they  cried  out.  Away 
with  Mm,  away  with  him.  crucily 
him.  Pilate  saith  unto  thim  Shall 
I  crucify  your  King?  The  chief 

Erieet  answered,  We  have  no  king 
ut  Cesar.  Then  delivered  he 
him  therefore  unto  them  to  be 
crucified.  And  tliey  took  Jwoa, 
and  led  him  away. 

Aete  111,  18, 14.  The  God  of  Ab-

the  God  of  our  falliers,  hath  gin- 
rifled  his  Son  Jesus;  whom  ye  de- 
livered up.  and  denied  him  in  tlie 
presence  of  Pilate,  when  he  was 
determined  to  let  him  go.  But 
ye  denied  the  Holy  One  and  the

loveth  the  Son,and  shewelh  him  all

will  show  him  greater  works  than

as  the  Father  hath  life  In  himself; 

so  hath  he  given  to  the  Son 

I  can  of  mine  own  self  do  nothing: 
as  I  hear,  I  Judge:  and  my  Judg- 
ment is  Just:  because  I  seek  not 
mine  own  will,  but  the  will  of  the 
Father  which  nath  sent  me. 

John  Till,  26,  28.  29.  I  have 
many  things  to  say  and  to  Judge 
of  you:  but  be  that  sent  me  is 
true;  and  I  speak  to  the  worid 
those  tilings  which  I  have  beard 
of  him.  Then  said  Jesus  unto 
them.  When  ye  have  lifted  up  the 
Son  of  man,  then  shall  ye  know 
that  I  am  A«,  and  that  I  do  no- 
thing of  myself;  but  as  my  Father 
hath  taught  me,  I  speak  these 
things.  And  he  that  sent  me  Is 
with  me:  the  Father  hath  not  left 
me  alone;  tor  I  do  always  those 
tbhigs  that  please  him.

I  received  of  my  Father. 

%An  xii,  49,  fiOw  For  I  have

ye  would  r^olce,  because  I  said, 
I  go  unto  the  Fathen  for  my

Moses  said  unto  God,  Who  am  I, 
that  I  should  go  nnto  Pliaraoh, 
and  that  I  should  bring  forth  the

And  he  said.  Certainly  I  will  be

Moees  and  nnto  Aaron,  and  gave 
them  a  charge  nnto  the  children 
of  Israel,  and  unto  Pharaoh  king 
of  Egypt,  to  bring  the  children  of 
Israel  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt 
These  are  that  Aaron  and  Moses,

Moees  and  Aaron.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  on  the  day  when  the 
Lord  spake  nnto  Moses  in  the 
land  of  Egypt,  That  the  Loan 
spake  unto  Moses,  saying,  I  am

Pharaoh  hearken  nnto  me?

land.  And  Moses  toas  fourscore 
years  old,  and  Aaron  fourscore 
and  three  years  old,  when  they 
spake  unto  Pharaoh.  And  the 
Lobd  said  unto  Moses,  Pharaoh's 
heart  ia  hardened,  he  refuseth  to 
let  the  people  go.  Get  thee  nnto 
Pharaoh  in  the  morning;  to,  he 
goeth  ont  unto  the  water;  and

go.  behold,  I  will  slay  thy  son, 
even  thy  first-born. 

Eaood.  T,  1-6,  ao,  SS,  S3.  And 
afterward  Moses  and  Aaron  went

the  Lobo  God  of  Israel,  Let  my 
people  go,  that  they  may  hold  a 
feast  nnto  me  In  the  wilderness. 
And  Pharaoh  said.  Who  is  the 
Lobo,  that  I  should  obey  his  voice 
to  let  Israel  go?  I  know  not  the 
Lobd,  neither  will  I  let  Israel  go. 
And  they  said.  The  God  of  the

Journey  into  the  desert,  and  sacrl- 
floe  unto  the  Lobd  onr  God^  lest 
he  fall  upon  ns  with  pestilence,  or

people  from  their  worlu?  get  yon 
unto  your  bnrdens.  And  Pbanoh

And  they  met  Moses  and  Aaron, 
who  stood  in  the  way,  as  they 
came  forth  trom  Pharaoh:  And 
Moses  returned  nnto  the  Lobol 
and  said.  Lord,  wherefore  han 
thou  so  evil-entreated  this  peo- 
ple? why  is  it  that  thon  hast  sent 
me?  For  since  I  came  to  Pharaoh 
to  speak  In  thy  name,  he  hath 
done  evil  to  this  people;  neither 
hast  thon  delivered  thy  people  at

Loan  said  nnto  Moses,  Rise  up 
early  in  the  morning,  and  stand  be- 
fore Pharaoh,  (lo,  he  cometh  forth 
to  the  water,)  and  say  nnto  hlra. 
Thus  saith  the  Lobd,  Let  my  peo- 
ple go.  that  they  may  serve  me. 
And  Pharaoh  called  for  Moses  and 
for  Aaron,  and  said.  Go  ye,  sacri- 
fice to  your  God  in  the  land.  And 
Moses  said.  It  Is  not  meet  so  to  do; 
for  we  shall  sacrifice  the  abomina- 
tion of  the  Eg)'plian8  to  the  Lord 
ont  God:  lo,  shall  we  sacrifice  the 
abominationof  the  Egyptian  before

us?  We  will  go  three  day^  journey 
into  the  wilderness,  and  sacrifice 
to  the  Lord  onr  God,  as  he  shaU 
command  us.  And  Pharaoh  said, 
I  will  let  yon  go,  that  ye  may 
sacrifice  to  the  Loan  your  God  in 
the  wilderness;  only  ye  shall  not 
go  very  far  away:  entreat  for  me. 
And  Moses  said.  Behold,  I  go  ont

Lobo  that  the  swarms  qfJUes  may

THE  SAMARITANS. 

S  Kings  zrll,  24, 83, 84.  And  the 
king  of  Assyria  hrought  men 
from  Babylon,  and  from  Cuthah, 
and  from  Ava,  and  from  Ilaroath, 
and  Trom  Sephanralm,  and  placed 
them  in  the  citl««  of  Sumarla  in- 
stead of  the  children  of  Israel; 
and  they  possessed  Samaria,  and 
dwelt  in  the  cities  thereof.  Ttiey 
feared  the  Lord,  and  served  tlielr 
own  gods,  after  the  manner  of  the 
nations  whom  they  carried  away 
from  thence.  VnUf  this  day  they 
do  after  the  former  manners:  they 
fear  not  the  Lobo,  neither  do  they 
after  their  statutes,  or  after  their 
ordinances,  or  after  the  law  and 
commandment,  which  the  Loan 
commanded  the  children  of  Jacob, 
whom  he  named  Israel. 

Luke  Iz,  52, 63.  And  sent  mes- 
sei)j?er8  before  his  Uce:  and  tliey 
wont,  and  entered  Intoa  vlllaj^  of 
the  Samaritans,  to  muke  ready  for 
bim.  And  they  did  not  receive 
him,  because  his  face  was  as 
though  he  would  go  to  Jeru- 
salem. 

Luke  rvll,  16-18.  And  one  of 
them,  when  he  saw  that  he  was 
healed,  turned  back,  and  with  a 
loud  voice  glorified  God,  And 
fell  down  on  his  face  at  his  feet, 
giving  him  thanlis:  and  he  was  a 
Baniaritan.  And  Jesus  answer- 
ing, said,  Were  there  not  ten 
cleansed?  but  where  are  the  nine? 
There  are  not  found  that  return- 
ed to  give  glory  to  God,  save  this 
stranger. 

John  I V,  9, 20-22,27-.For  the  Jews 
have  no  dealings  with  the  Samari- 
tans. Our  fathers  worshipped  In 
this  mountain;  and  ye  say,  that  in 
Jerusalem  Is  the  plaoe  where  men 
ought  to  worship.  Jesus  saith  unto 
her,  Wom;.u,  believe  me,  the  hour 
Cometh,  when  ye  shall  neither 
in  this  mountain,  nor  yet  at  Jeru- 
salem, worship  the  Father.  Ye 
worship  ye  know  not  what:  we 
know  what  we  worship:  for  salva- 
tion is  of  the  Jews.  And  upon 
this  came  his  disciples,  and  mar- 
Tolled  that  he  talked  with  the 
woman:  yet  no  man  said.  What 
seekest  thou?  or.  Why  talkest 
thou  with  hoi?

Exra  1,  1-6.  Now,  in  the  first 
year  of  Cyrus  king  of  Persia,  (that 
the  word  of  the  Lord  by  the  mouth 
of  Jeremiah  might  be  fulfilled,) 
the  Lord  stirred  up  the  spirit  of 
Cyrus  king  of  Persia,  that  he  made 
a  proclamation  throughout  all  his 
kingdom,  and  pitt  it  also  in  wrlt- 
iDfir,  saying.    Thus  satth  Cyrus 


king  of  Perjila,  The  Lobd  Ood  of 
heaven  hath  given  me  all  the 
kingdoms  of  the  earth;  and  he 
hath  charged  me  to  build  him  an 
house  at  Jerusalem,  whidi  is  in 
Judah:  Who  is  there  among  you 
of  all  his  peoplef  his  God  bo  with 
him,  and  let  him  go  up  to  Jerusa- 
lem, which  is  in  Judah,  and  build 
the  house  of  the  Lord  God  ol  Is- 
rael (he  is  the  God)  which  is  in 
Jerusalem.  And  whosoever  re- 
malneth  in  any  place  where  he 
so)oui«eth,  let  the  men  of  his  place 
help  him  with  silver,  and  with 
gold,  and  with  goods,  and  with 
beasts,  besides  the  fk-«e-wUl-offer- 
iog  for  the  house  of  God  that  is  in 
Jerusalem.  Then  rose  up  the 
chief  of  the  fathers  of  Judah  and 
Benjamin,  and  the  priests,  fnd  the 
Levltes,  with  aU  them  whose  spirit 
God  had  raised,  to  go  up  to  build 
the  house  of  the  Lord  which  is  in 
Jerusalem.  And  all  they  that 
were  about  them  strengthened 
their  hands  with  vessels  of  sliver, 
with  gold,  with  goods,  and  with 
beasts,  and  with  precious  thUigs, 
besides  all  that  was  willingly  of- 
fered. 

Ezra  il,  70.  So  the  priests,  and 
the  Levltes,  and  some  of  the 
people,  and  the  singers,  and  the 
porters,  and  the  Nethinims  dwelt 
in  their  cities,  and  all  Israel  in 
their  cities. 

Ezra  ill,  1.  And  when  the 
seventh  month  was  come,  and  the 
children  of  Israel  toere  in  the 
cities,  the  people  gathered  them- 
selves togeilier  as  one  man  to 
Jerusalem. 

^zra  vil,  6. 7, 18.  This  Esra  went 
up  from  Babylon;  and  he  was  a 
ready  scribe  in  the  law  of  Mokosl 
which  the  Lord  God  of  Israel  had 
given:  and  the  king  granted  htm 
all  his  request,  according  to  the 
hand  of  the  Lord  his  God  upon 
him.  And  there  went  up  some  of 
the  children  of  Israel,  and  of  the 
priests,  and  the  Levltes,  and  the 
singers,  and  the  porters,  and  the 
Nethinims,  unto  Jerusalem,  in  the 
seventh  year  of  Artaxerxes  the 
king.  I  make  a  decree,  that  aU 
they  of  the  people  of  Israel,  and  qf 
his  priests  and  Levltes,  in  my 
realm,  which  are  minded  of  their 
own  n-ee-will  to  go  up  to  Jerusa-

was  said  unto  them.  Ye  are  not 
my  people;  there  shall  Oiey  be 
called  tlie  children  of  the  living 
God.  What  shall  we  say  thenf 
That  the  Gentiles,  which  fullon-ed 
not  after  righteousness,  have  at- 
tained to  righteousness,  even  the 
righteousnei^s  which  Is  of  faith: 
But  Israel,  which  followed  after 
the  law  of  righteonsu(  ss,  hath  not 
attained  to  the  law  of  rtgliteons- 
ness.  Wherefore?  Because  they 
sought  it  not  by  faith,  but  as  it 
were  by  the  works  of  the  law:  for 
they  stumbled  at  that  stumbling- 
stone.

bold,  and  salth,  I  was  found  ol 
them  that  sought  me  not;  I  was 
made  manifest  unto  them  that

Rom.  XT,  9-12, 21.  And  that  the 
Gentiles  might  glorify  God  for

this  cause  I  will  confess  to  thee 
among  the  Gentiles,  and  shig  unto 
thy  name.  And  again  ho  saiih. 
Rejoice,  ye  Gentiles,  with  his  peo-

2  Cor.  lU,  8-11.  How  shaU  not 
the  ministration  of  the  Spirit  be 
rather  glorious?  For  if  the  mlo- 
istratlon  of  condemnation  be  glory, 
mnch  more  doth  the  ministration 
of  righteousness  exceed  in  glory. 
For  even  that  which  was  made 
glorious  had  no  glory  in  this  re- 
spect, by  reason  of  the  glory  that 
exceUeth.  For  If  that  which  is 
done  away  toos  glorious,  much 
more  that  which  remaineth  U

Acts  xi,  1-8,  9-14,  17,  la  And 
the  apostles  and  brethren  that 
were  in  Judea  heard  that  the

was  come  up  to  Jerusalem,  they 
that  were  of  the  circumcision  con- 
tended with  him.  Saying.  Thou 
wentcst  in  to  men  unclrcumcised,

that  call  not  thon  common.  And

gave  them  the  like  gift  as  A«  <fid

for  I  work  a  work  in  your  days,  a 
work  which  ye  shall  in  no  wise 
believe,  though  a  man  declare  It

throughout  all  the  coasts  of 
Judea,  and  then  to  the  Gentiles, 
that  they  should  repent  and  turn

effect  For  they  orsnot  all  Israel 
which  are  of  IsraeL  That  is,  They . 
which  are  the  children  of  the

Horn,  X,  1-4.  Brethren,  my 
heart's  desire  and  prayer  to  God 
for  Israel  Is.  that  they  might 
be  saved.  For  I  bear  them 
record,  that  they  have  a  zeal  ot 
God,  but  not  according  tf»  know- 
ledge. For  they,  being  Ignorant 
of  God's  righteousness,  and  going 
about  to  establish  their  own 
righteousness,  have  not  submitted 
themselves  unto  the  righteous- 
ness of  God.  For  Christ  is  the 
end  of  the  law  for  righteousness 
to    every    one    that    believetb. 

Itom.  x\,  1. 9.  U-16, 23-33.  I  say 
then.  Hath  God  cast  away  his 
people?  God  forbid.  For  I  also 
am  an  Israelite,  of  the  seed  of 
Abraham,  of  the  tribe  of  Ben- 
jamin. And  David  salth.  Let 
their  table  be  marie  a  snare,  and 
a  trap,  and  a  itumbllngblook.  and 
a  recompence  unto  them:  I  say 
then,  Have  they  stumbled  that 
they  should  fall?  God  forbid:  but 
rather  through  their  fall  salvation 
iacoTTie  unto  the  Gentiles,  for  to 
provoke  them  to  Jealously.  Now, 
if  the  fall  of  them  be  the  riches  of 
the  world,  and  the  diminishing  of 
them  the  riches  of  the  Gentiles; 
how  much  more  their  fulness?  For 
I  speak  to  yon  Gentiles,  Inasmuch 
as  I  am  the  apostle  of  the  Gentiles, 
I  magnify  mine  office;  If  by  any 
means  I  may  provoke  to  emula- 
tion them  which  are  my  flesh,  and 
might  save  some  of  tliem.  For  if 
the  casting  away  of  them  be  the 
reconciling  of  the  world,  what 
8haU  the  receiving  of  Viem  be,  but 
life  from  the  dead?  And  they 
also,  if  they  abide  not  still  in  un- 
bellef,  shall  be  graffed  in:  for  God 
is  able  to  groif  them  in  again. 
For  if  thou  wert  cut  out  of  the 
olKe-trco,  which  is  wild  by  nature, 
and  wert  graffed  c^'Utrary  to  na- 
ture into  a  good  olive-tree;  how 
much  more  shall  these,  which  be 
the  natural  branches,  be  graffed 
Into  their  own  olive-tree?  For  I 
would  not,  brethren,  that  ye 
should  be  Ignorant  of  ttiia  mys- 
tery, (lest  ye  should  be  wise  In 
your  own  conceits.)  that  blind- 
ness in  part  is  happened  to  Israel, 
838 


until  the  fulness  of  the  Genflles 
be  come  in.  And  so  all  Israel  . 
shall  be  saved:  as  It  Is  written  ^ 
There  shall  come  out  of  Sluu  tho  i 
Deliverer,  and  shall  turn  away  I 
ungodliness  from  Jacob.  For  this 
is  my  covenant  unto  them,  whf  d 
I  shall  take  away  their  sins.  As  I 
concerning  the  gospel,  tftfy  are 
enemies  for  your  sakes:  but  as 
touching  the  election,  they  are 
beloved  for  the  fathers'  sakes.  For 
the  gifts  and  calling  of  God  are 
without  repentance.  For  as  ye 
In  times  past  have  not  believed 
God.  yet  have  now  obtained  mercy 
through  their  unbelief;  Even  so 
have  these  also  now  not  believed, 
that  through  your  mercy  they 
also  may  obtain  mercy.  For  God 
hath  conclnded  them*all  In  unbe- 
lief, that  be  might  have  mercy 
upon  all. 

9  Cor.  HI,  12-16.  Seeing  then 
that  we  have  such  hope,  ^vo 
use  great  plainness  of  speech; 
And  not  as  Morcs,  which  pat  a

to his  brethren,  and  looked  on 
their  burdens:  and  he  opled  an 
Egyptian  smiting  an  Hebrew,  one 
of  his  brethren.  And  he  looked 
this  way  and  tiiat  way,  and  when 
he  saw  that  there  vxu  no  man,  he 
slew  the  Egyptian,  and  hid  him 
in  the  sand.  And  when  he  went 
out  the  second  day,  behold,  two 
men  of  the  Ucbrews  strove  to- 
gethen  and  he  said  to  him  that 
did  the  wrong.  Wherefore  smitest 
thou  thy  fellow?  And  he  said. 
Who  made  thee  a  prince  and  a 
Judge  over  na?  Intendest  thou  to 
kill  me,  as  thou  kllledst  the 
Egyptian?  And  Moses  feared,

Jer.  xxxlv,  9-18,  14-17.  That 
every  ro:in  should  let  his  man- 
servant, and  every  man  his  maid- 
servant, being  an  Hebrew  or  an 
Hebrewess,  go  freec  tliat  none 
should  serve  himself  of  them,  to 
wtt,  of  a  Jew  his  brother.  Now, 
when  all  the  princes,  and  all  the 
people,  whloh  had  entered  into 
tlie  covenant,  heard  that  every 
one  should  let  hjs  nmn-servan^ 
and  every  one  his  maid-servant> 
go  free,  that  none  should  serve 
themselves  of  them  any  more; 
then  tliey  obeyed,  and  let  them  go. 
But  afterward  they  turned,  and 
caused  the  servants  and  the  hand- 
maids, whom  they  had  let  go  free, 
to  return,  and  brouglit  them  into 
subjection  for  servants  and  for 
handmaids.  Therefore  the  word 
of  the  LoBO  came  to  Jeremiah 
from  the  Lobd,  saying,  At  U^e  end 
of  seven  years  let  ye  go  every 
man  his  brother  an  Hebrew,  which 
hath  been  sold  unto  thee;  and 
when  he  hath  served  thee  six 
years,  thou  sbalt  let  him  go  flree 
from  thee:  but  your  fiUhers 
hearkened  not  unto  me,  neither 
inclined  their  ear.  And  ye  were 
now  turned,  and  had  done  right 
in  my  sight,  in  proclaiming  liberty 
every  man  to  his  neighbour;  and 
ye  had  mode  a  covenant,  before 
me  in  tlie  house  which  is  called 
by  my  name:  But  ye  turned,  and 
polluted  my  name,  and  caused 
every  man  his  servant  and  every 
man  his  liandmnld,  whom  he  ha4 
set  at  liberty  at  their  pleasure,  to 
return,  and  brought  them  into 
subjection,  to  bo  onto  you  for 
servants  and  for  handmaids. 
Therefore  thus  saith  the  Loan, 
Ye  have  not  hearkened  unto  me. 
In  proclaiming  liberty,  every  one 
to  his  brother,  and  every  man  to 
bis  nelghbonn  behold,  1  procUUm 
a  liberty  for  you,  saltn  the  Lord, 
to  the  sword,  to  the  pestilence^ 
and  to  the  famine;  and  I  will  make 
you  to  be  removed  Into  all  (he

I  beseech  thee  for  my  son

now  profitable  to  thee  and  to  me;

he  was  called.  Art  thou  called 
being  a  servant?  care  not  for  it; 
but  If  thou  mayest  be  made  tne, 


use  U  rather.  For  he  that  Is  cAlled 
In  the  Lord,  belfig  a  servant,  1b  the 
Lord's  free  m:in:  liicewise  also  ho 
that  is  callpd,  being  free,  is  Christ's 
servant.  Ye  are  bought  with  a 
price;  be  not  ye  t  he  servuuts  of  men. 
Brethren,  let  every  man.  wherein 
he  is  called,  therein  abide  with 
God.

of  your  heart,  os  unto  Christ,  Not 
with  eye-service,  as  men-pleasers; 
bot  as  the  servants  of  Christ, 
doing  the  will  of  God  fTom  the 
heart;  With  good  will  doing  ser- 
vice, OB  to  the  Lord,  and  not  to 
men. 

Qol.  ill,  22-26.  ServantB,  obey  In 
all  thln^rs  your  masters  according 
to  the  flesh:  not  with  eye-service, 
as  men-pieasers;  but  in  sluglenesa 
of  heart,  fearing  God:  And  what- 
soever ye  do.  do  U  heortlly,  as  to 
the  Lord,  and  not  unto  men; 
Knowing  that  of  the  Lord  ye  shall 
receive  the  reward  of  the  inherit- 
ance; for  ye  serve  the  Lord  Christ. 
But  he  that  doeth  wrong  shall 
receive  for  the  wrong  which  he 
hnth  done:  and  there  is  no  respect 
of  persons. 

1  Tim.  vl,  1,  2.  Let  ob  many 
servants  as  are  under  tlie  yoke 
count  their  own  masters  worthy 
of  all  honour,  that  the  name  of 
God  and  his  ooctrine  be  not  blaa- 
phemed.  And  thev  that  have 
believing  masters,  let  them  not 
despise  them,  because  they  are 
brethren;  but  rather  do  them  ser- 
vice, because  they  are  faithful  and 
beloved,  partakers  of  tiie  benefit. 
These  things  teacli  and  exhort. 

Titue  11, 9, 10.  Exhort  servants 
to  be  obedient  unto  their  own 
masters,  cmd  to  please  them  well 
in  all  Uilngs;  not  answering  again: 
Not  purlolulng,  bat  shewing  alt 
good  fidelity;  that  they  may  adorn 
the  doctrine  of  God  our  Saviour 
In  all  things; 

1  reUr  U,  18-20.  Servants,  be 
subject  to  your  masters  with  all 
fear,  not  only  to  the  good  and 
gentle,  but  also  to  the  f^oward. 
For  this  is  thank-worthy,  If  a  man 
for  conscience  toward  God  en- 
dure grief,  suffering  wrongfully. 
For  what  glory  is  it,  If,  when  yo 
be  buffeted  for  your  faults,  ye  shall 
take  it  patiently?  but  if.  when  vo 
do  well,  and  Buffer  for  it,  ye  take 
it  patiently,  this  is  acceptable 
with  God.

receive  the  gift,  and  take  upon  us 
the  fellowship  of  the  ministering

their  own  selves  to  the  Lord,  and 
unto  us  by  the  will  of  God :  Inso-

Xxod.  xvlil,  18-15.  Jind  It  came 
to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  Moses 
sat  to  Judge  the  people:  and  the 
people  sUiod  by  Moses  fnim  the 
mttrning  unto  the  evening.  And 
when  Moses'  father-in-law  saw  all 
that  he  did  to  the  people,  he  said. 
What  is  this  thing  that  thou  doest 
to  the  people  why  slttest  thou 
thyself  alone,  and  all  the  people 
stand  by  thee  from  morning  unto 
even?  And  Moses  said  unto  his 
father-ln-iaw.  Because  the  people 
come  unto  me  to  enquire  ofGod. 

Sxod.  xxUl,  8. 6, 7.  Neither  shalt 
thou  countenance  a  poor  man  In 
his  cause.  Thou  shalf  not  wrest 
the  Judgment  of  the  poor  In  his 
cause.  Keep  thee  for  from  a  false 
matter:  and  the  innocent  and 
righteous  slay  thou  not:  for  I  wiU 
nut  Justify  the  wicked. 

Lev.  xlx,  16.  Ye  shall  do  no  un- 
righteousness In  Ju<igment;  thou 
shalt  not  respect  the  person  of  the 
poor,  nor  hunuurthe  person  of  the 
mighty:  but  in  righteousness  shalt 
thou  Judge  thy  neighbour. 

Dent.  I,  16-1&  And  I  charged 
your  Judges  at  that  time,  saying. 
Hear  the  causes  between  your 
brethren,  and  Judge  righteously 
between  ecerp  man  and  his 
brotlier,  and  the  stranger  that  is 
with  him.  Ye  shall  not  respect 
persons  in  Judgment,  but  ye  shall 
hear  the  small  as  well  as  tlie  great; 
ye  shall  not  be  afraid  of  the  ftce 
of  man,  for  the  Judgment  is  God's: 
and  the  cause  that  is  too  hard  for 
you,  bring  it  unto  me,  and  I  will 
hear  It.  And  1  commanded  you 
at  that  time  all  the  thUigs  which 
ye  should  do. 

DeuL  xxT,  1.  If  there  be  a  con- 
troversy between  men,  and  they 
come  unto  Judgment,  that  Vie 
Judges  may  Judge  them;  then  they 
shall  Justify  the  righteous,  and 
condemn  Uie  wicked. 

a  Chron.  xlx,  e-11.  And  said  to 
tlie  judges,  Take  heed  what  ye  do: 
for  ye  Judge  not  for  man,  but  for 
tlie  Lord,  who  to  with  you  In  the 
Judgment  Wherefore  now  let  the 
fear  of  the  Lobd  be  upon  you; 
take  heed,  and  do  it:  for  there  is 
no  Iniquity  with  the  Lord  our 
Gofl,  nor  respect  of  persons,  nor 
taking  of  gills.  Moreover  In  Je- 
rnsalem  did  Jeho8i4>hat  sot  of  the 
Levlles,  and  qf  the  priests,  and  of 
the  chief  of  the  fathers  of  Israel, 
for  the  Judgment  of  the  Lord,  and 
for  controversies,  when  thev  re- 
turned to  Jerusalem.  And  he 
diarred  them,  saying.  Thus  shall

that  dwell  in  their  cities,  between

commandment,  statutes  and  Judg-

that  they  trespass  not  against  the 
Lord,  and  so  wrath  come  upon 
yon,  and  upon  your  brethren:  this 
do,  and  ye  shall  not  tre^pass. 
And,  behold,  Amariah  the  chief 
priest  is  over  you  in  all  matters  of 
the  Lord;  and  Zebadiah  the  sou  of 
Ishniael,  the  ruler  of  the  hou8«  of

Ps,  Ivlli,  1.  Do  ye  indeed  speak

ye  Judge  itprightly,  O  ye  sons  of

Ps.  Ixxxll,  2-4.  How  long  will

Defend  the  poor  and  fatherless: 
do  Justice  to  the  afflicted  and

Eccles.  Ill,  16.  And,  moreover,  I

Acts  xxUi,  16-49.  And  when 
Paul's  sister's  son  heard  of  their

into  the  castle,  and  told  PauL 
Then  Paul  called  one  of  the  cen- 
turions unto  him,  and  said,  Bring 
this  young  man  unto  the  chief 
captain;  for  he  hath  a  certain 
thing  to  tell  him.  So  be  took 
him,  and  brought  Afm  to  the  chief 
captain,  and  said,  Paul  the  pris- 
oner called  me  unto  JUm,  and 
prayed  me  to  bring  this  young 
man  unto  thee,  who  bath  some- 
thing to  say  unto  thee.  Then  the 
chief  captain  took  him  by  the 
hand,  and  went  with  him  aside 
privately,  and  asked  him.  What  is 
that  thou  hast  to  tell  me?  And  ho 
said,  The  Jews  have  agreed  to 
desire  thee  tiiat  thou  wouldest 
bringdown  Paul  to-morrow  into 
the  council,  as  though  they  would 
enquire  somewhat  of  him  more 
porieotly.  But  do  not  thou  yield 
unto  them :  for  there  lie  In  wait 
for  bim  of  them  moi«  than  forty 
men,which  have  bound  themselves 
with  an  oath,  that  they  will  nei- 
ther eat  nor  driok  until  they  have

thee.  So  the  chief  captain  t/ten 
let  the  young  man  depart,  and 
charged  him,  See  thou  tell  no  man 
that  thou  hast  showed  these 
things  to  me.

there  was  made  a  great  silence,  he

Acts  xxlv.  10-18.  Then  Paul,after 
that  the  governor  had  beckoned 
unto  him  to  speak,  answered.  For- 
asmuch as  I  know  that  thou  hast 
been  of  many  years  a  Judge  unto 
this  nation,  I  do  the  more  cheer* 
fully  answer  fbr  myself:  Because 
that  thou  mayest  understand, 
that  there  are  yet  but  twelve  days 
since  I  went  up  to  Jerusalem  for 
to  worship.  And  they  neither 
found  me  in  the  temple  disputing 
with  any  man,  neither  raising  up 
the  poople,  neither  In  the  syna- 
gogues, nor  in  the  dty:  Neither 
can  they  prove  the  things  whereof 
they  now  accuse  me.

at  all.  To  whom  I  answered.  It 
Is  not  the  manner  of  the  Romans 
to  deliver  any  man  to  die,  before 
that  he  which  is  accused  have  the 
accusers  face  to  face,  and  have

I  shall'  answer  for  myself  this  day

Acta  xxv,l-7,9-16,  20, 31.25-27. 
Now,  when  Festus  was  come  Into 
the  province,  after  three  days  he 
ascended  from  Cesarea  to  Jerosa- 
lem.  Then  the  high  priest,  and 
the  chief  of  th^  Jews,  Informed 
htm  against  Paul,  and  besought 
him,  And  desired  farour  against 
him,  that  he  would  send  for  him 
to  Jerusalem,  laying  wait  in  the 
way  to  kilt  htm.  Bat  Festns  an- 
swei-e<),  that  Panl  should  be  kept 
at  Cesarea,  and  that  he  himself 
would  depnrt  shortly  thither.  Let 
them  therefore,  said  he,  which 
among  you  are  able,  go  down 
with  me,  and  accuse  this  man,  If 
there  be  any  wickedness  in  him. 
And  when  he  had  tarried  among 
them  more  than  ten  days,  he  went 
down  unto  Cesiirea;  and  the  next 
day,  sitting  on  the  Judgment-seat, 
commanded  Paul  to  be  brought. 
And  when  he  was  come,  the  Jews 
which  came  down  from  Jerusa- 
lem stood  round  about,  and  laid 
many  and  grieTous  complaints 
against  Paul,  which  they  could 
not  prove :  But  Featus,  willhig  to 
do  the  Jews  a  ph'osure,  answered 
Paul,  and  said.  Wilt  thou  go  up 
to  Jernsalera.and  there  be  Judged 
of  these  things  before  me?  Then 
Bald  Paul,  I  stand  at  Cesar's  Jndg- 
ment^eat,  where  I  ought  to  be 
Judged :  to  the  Jews  haye  I  done 
no  wrong,  as  thou  very  well 
knowest.  For  if  I  be  an  offender, 
or  have  committed  any  thing 
worthy  of  death,  I  refuse  not  to 
die:  but  if  there  be  none  of  these 
things  whereof  these  accuse  me, 
no  man  may  deliver  mo  unto 
them.  I  appeal  unto  Cesar.  Then 
Festns.  when  he  had  conferred 
with  the  council,  answered,  Hast 
thou  appealed  unto  Cesar?  unto 
Cesar  shalt  thou  go.  And  after 
oeruin  days  king  Agrlppa  and 
Bernice  came  unto  Cesarea  to 
salute  Festus.  And  when  they 
had  been  there  many  days,  Festus 
declared  Paul's  cause  unto  the 
king,  saying.  There  is  a  certain 
man  left  in  bonds  by  Felix;  About 
whom,  when  I  was  at  Jerusalem, 
the  chief  priests  and  the  elders  of 
the  Je\AS  Informed  me,  desirhig  to 
tove  Judgment  against  him.  And 
because  I  doubted  of  such  man- 
ner  of  questions,  I  asked  him 
whether  he  would  go  to  Jemsa^ 
lem,  and  there  be  Judged  of  these 
matters.  But  when  Paul  had  ap- 
pealed to  be  reserved  unto  the 
hearing  of  Augustus,  I  commarid- 
ed  him  to  be  kept  till  I  might

send  him  to  Cesar.  But  when  I 
found  that  he  had  committed  no- 
thing worthy  of  deatli,  and  that 
he  himself  hath  appealed  to 
Augustus,  I  have  determined  to 
send  him.  Of  whom  I  have  no 
certain  ttiing  to  write  unto  my 
lord.  WherSfore  I  have  brought 
bim  forth  before  you,  and  spe- 
cially before  thee,  O  king  Agrippa, 
that,  after  examination  had,  I 
mlg^t  have  somewhat  to  write. 
For  it  seemeth  to  me  unreasonable 
to  send  a  prisoner,  and  not  withal 
to  signify  the  crimes  laid  against 
blm. 

jlcts  xxviU.  17-SO.  And  it  come 
to  pass,  that,  after  three  days, 
Paul  called  the  chief  of  the  Jews 
together:  and  when  they  were 
come  together,  he  said  unto  them. 
Men  and  biethren,  though  I  have 
committed  nothing  agulnst  the 
people  or  customs  of  our  fathers, 

Set  w;is  I  delivered  prisoner  from 
erusolem  into  the  hands  of  the 
Romans:  Who,  when  they  had 
examined  me,  would  have  let  me 
go,  because  there  was  no  cause  of 
death  In  me.  But  when  the  Jews 
spake  against  it,  1  was  constrained 
toappeal  unto  Cesar,  not  that  I  had 
ought  to  accuse  my  nation  of. 
For  this  cause  therefore  have  I 
called  for  you.  to  see  you.  and  to 
speak  with  you:  because  that  for 
the  hope  of  Israeli  am  bound  with 
this  chain.

for  I  will  be  no  Judge  of  sucli 
matUra,  And  he  drave  them

Then  all  the  Greeks  took  Sos- 
thenes,  the  cliief  ruler  of  the 
synagogue,  and  beat  him  before 
the  Judgment -seaU  and  Gallio 
cared  for  none  of  those  things.

And  the  whole  city  was  fillotl 
with  confusion:  and  having  caught 
Gains  and  AriHtarchus,  men  of 
Macedonia,  Paul's  companions  in 
travel,  they  rushed  with  one 
accora  into  the  theatre.  And 
when  Paul  would  have  entered  in 
unto  the  peopio,  the  disciples 
suffered  him  not.  Some  there- 
fore cried  one  thing,  and  some 
another:  for  the  assembly  was 
conftised;  and  the  more  part 
knew  not  wherefore  they  were 
come  together.  And  they  drew 
Alexander  out  of  the  multitude, 
the  Jews  putting  him  forward. 
And  Alexander  beckoned  with 
the  hand,  and  would  have  made 
his  defence  unto  the  people.  But 
If  ye  hiqnire  any  thing  concerning 
other  matters,  it  shall  be  deter- 
mined In  a  lawful  assembly.  For 
we  are  In  danger  to  be  called  In

there  being  no  cause  whereby  we

spoken,  he  dismissed  the  a*,

when  he  came  upon  the  stairs,  so 
it  was,  tliat  he  was  borne  of  tlie 
soldiers  for  the  violence  of  the

GOD  REJECTED  AS  KING 
BY  THE  NATION. 

1  Sam.  Till  4-11. 14-29.  Then  all 
the  elders  of  Israel  gathered  them- 
selves together,  and  came  to 
Samuel  unto  Ramah,  And  said 
unto  bim,  Behold,  thou  art  old, 
and  thy  sons  walk  not  In  thy 
ways:  now  make  us  a  king  to  Judge 
us  like  all  the  nations.  But  the 
thing  dUpleased  Samuel,  when 
they  said.  Give  us  a  king  to  judge 
US.  And  Samuel  prayed  uutu  the 
Lord.  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Samuel,  Hearken  unto  the  voice 
of  .the  people  in  all  that  they  say 
nnto  thee:  for  they  have  not  re- 
jected thee,  but  they  have  rejected 
me,  that  I  ahould  not  reign  over 
them.  According  to  all  the  works 
which  they  have  done  since  the 
day  that  1  brought  them  up  out  of 
Egypt  even  unto  this  day,  where- 
with they  have  forsakan  me.  and 
856 


•erred  other  gods,  to  do  they  also 
unto  thee.  Now  therefore  hearken 
unto  their  Toloe:  howbeit  yet  pro> 
test  solemnly  unto  them,  and  shew 
them  the  manner  of  the  king  that 
shall  reign  over  them.  And  Samuel 
told  all  the  words  of  the  Lord 
unto  the  people  that  asked  of  him 
a  king.  And  he  said.  This  will  be 
the  manner  of  the  king  thit  shall 

reign  over  you: And  be 

will  take  your  fields,  and  your 
vineyards,  and  vour  olivevards, 
even  the  best  q/  them,  and  give 
them  to  b^'s  servants.  And  be 
will  take  the  tentb  of  your  seed, 
and  of  your  vineyards,  and  give  to 
his  officers,  and  to  bis  servants. 
And  he  will  take  your  men-ser- 
vants, and  your  maid-servants,  and 
your  goodliest  young  men,  and 
your  asses,  and  put  Vum  to  his 
work.  He  wUl  uke  the  tenth  of 
your  sheep;  and  ye  shall  be  his 
servants.  And  ye  shall  cry  out  In 
that  day  because  of  your  king 
which  ye  shall  have  choaen  you; 
and  the  Lord  will  not  bear  yon  in 
that  day.  Nevertheieas  the  people 
refused  to  obey  the  voice  of 
Samuel;  and  they  said.  Nay;  hut 
we  will  have  a  king  over  us:  That 
we  also  may  be  like  all  the  na- 
tions; and  that  our  king  may  Judge 
us,  and  go  out  before  us,  and  flgUt 
our  battles.  And  Samuel  beard 
all  the  words  of  the  people,  and  he 
rehearsed  them  in  the  ears  of  tUe 
Lord.  And  the  Loan  said  to 
Samuel,  Hearken  unto  their  voice, 
and  make  them  a  king.  And 
Samuel  said  unto  the  men  of 
Israel,  Go  ye  e^ery  man  onto  bis 
city. 

1  Sam^x,  17-19.  And  Samoti 
called  the  people  together  unto 
Uie  Lord  to  MIzpeh:  And  said 
unto  the  children  of  Israel,  Thus 
saltb  the  Loan  God  of  Israel,  I 
brought  up  Israel  out  of  EgyptL 
and  delivered  you  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  Egyptians,  and  out  of  the 
hand  of  oil  kingdoms,  and  of  them 
that  oppressed  you:  And  ye  have 
this  day  rejected  your  God,  who 
himself  saved  you  out  of  all  your 
adversities  and  your  trlbuUtlons; 
and  ye  have  said  unto  him,  Kap, 
bat  set  a  king  over  us.  Now  there- 
tore  present  yourselves  before 
the  Lord  by  your  tribes,  snd  by 
your  thousands.

fore stand  and  see  this  great  thing, 
which  the  Lohd  will  do  before

to the  Loan;  and  the  Lord  sent 
thnnder  and  rain  that  day:  and 
all  the  people  greatly  feared  the 
Lobd  and  SamueL  And  all  the 
people  said  onto  Samnel.Pray  for 
tliy  servants  onto  the  Lobd  thy 
Qod,  that  we  die  not:  for  we  have 
added  onto  all  onr  sins  this  evlL 
to  ask  ns  a  king.  And  Samuel 
tald  onto  the  people.  Fear  not: 
(ye  have  done  all  tlila  wickedness, 
yet  turn  not  aside  from  following 
the  Lobd,  but  eerTe  the  Lobd  with 
all  your  heart.

1 8am,  ix,  15-17.  Now  the  Lobd 
had  told  Samuel  In  his  ear  a  day 
before  Saul  came^  saying,  To-mor- 
row, about  this  time,  I  will  send 
thee  »  man  out  of  the  hind  of  Ben- 
jamin, and  thou  shalt  anoint  him 
to  bt  captain  over  my  people  Is-

saw  Saul,  the  Loan  said  unto  him. 
Behold  the  man  whom  I  spake  to 
thee  of  1  this  same  shall  rei^n  over 
my  people.

caused  the  tribe  of  Benjamin  to

fkmily  of  Matrl  was  taken,  and 
Saul  the  son  of  Kish  was  taken: 
and  when  they  songht  him,  he 
could  not  be  found.  Therefore 
they  enquired  of  the  Lobd  further, 
if  tbo  man  should  yet  come  thi- 
ther. And  tlie  Lobo  answered. 
Behold,  he  hath  bid  himself  among

f  Sam.  XTl,  1-^.  And  the  Loan 
said  unto  Samuel,  How  long  wilt 
thou  mourn  for  Saul,  seeing  i 
have  rejected  him  fTora  reigning 
over  Israel  ?  Fill  thine  horn  with 
oil,  and  go,  T  will  send  thee  to 
Jesse  the  Both-lehemlte :  for  I 
have  provided  me  a. king  among 
his  sons.  And  Samuel  said,  Uow 
can  1  go?  If  Saul  hear  it,  he  will 
kill  me.  And  the  Lobd  said, 
Take  an  heifer  with  thee,  and  say, 
I  am  come  to  sacrifice  to  the 
Lobd.  Afad  call  Jesse  to  the  sac- 
rifice, and  I  wUl  show  thee  what

1  Kings  xl,  87-40.  And  I  will 
take  thee,  and  thun  shalt  reign 
according  to  all  that  thy  soul  de- 
sireth,  and  thou  shalt  be  king 
over  Israel.  And  it  shall  be,  if 
thou  wilt  hearken  unto  all  that  I 
command  thee,  and  wilt  walk  in 
my  ways,  and  do  that  is  right  in 
my  sight,  to  keep  my  statutes  and 
my  commandments,  as  DaTid  my

days  ago,  set  not  thy  mind  on

on  whom  is  all  the  desire  of  Is- 
rael? Is  U  not  on  thee,  and  on  all 
thy  father's  house?  And  Saul 
answered  «and  said.  Am  not  I  a 
Benjamite,  of  the  smallest  of  the 
tribes  of  Israel?  and  my  family 
the  least  of  all  the  families  of  the 
tribe  of  Benjamin?  wherefore  then 
speakest  thou  so  to  me? 

1  Sam,  xi,  14,  16.  Then  said 
Samuel  to  the  people.  Come,  and 
let  us  go  to  Gilgal,  and  renew  the 
kingdom  there.  And  all  the  peo- 
ple went  to  Gilgal;  and  there  they 
made  Saul  khig  before  the  Lord 
in  Gilgal;  and  there  they  sacri- 
ficed sacrifices  of  peaoe-ofl^rlngs

and  all  the  men  of  Israel  rejoiced 
greatly.

that  ye  said  unto  me,  and  have 
made  a  king  over  yon.

David,  even  so  I  do  to  him;  To 
translate  the  kingdom  from  the 
house  of  Saul,  and  to  set  up  the 
throne  of  David  over  Israel,  and 
over  Judah,  from  Dan  even  to 
Beer-sheba.  And  ho  oould  not 
answer  Abner  a  word  again;  be- 
cause he  feared  him.  And  Abner  ' 
sent  messengers  to  David  on  his 
behalf,  saying,  Whose  is  the  land? 
saying  also,  Make  thy  league  with 
me,  and,  behold,  my  hand  shaU  b^ 
with  tliee,  to  bring  about  all 
Israel  unto  thee.  A  ml  Abner  had 
communication  wi'h  the  elders  of

David  in  times  past  to  be  king 
over  you:  Now  then  do  it-  for  the 
Lobd  hath  spoken  of  David,  say- 
ing. By  the  hand  of  my  servant 
David  I  will  save  my  people 
Inrael  out  of  the  hnnd  of  tlie

1  Kings  xl,  18,  18.  83,  84-36. 
NotwithsUnding  in  thy  days  I 
will  not  do  It  for  David  thy  father's 
sake:  but  I  will  rend  It  out  of  the 
hand  ot  thy  eon.  Uowbeit  I  will 
not  rend  away  all  the  kingdom; 
bid  will  give  one  tribe  to  thy  son. 
for  David  my  servant's  sake,  and 
for  Jerusalem's  sake,  which  I 
have  chosen.  (But  he  shall  have 
one  tribe,  for  my  servant  David's 
sake,  and  for  Jerusalem's  sake, 
the  dty  which  I  have  clmsen  out 
of  all  the  tribes  of  Israel:)  How- 
beit  I  will  not  take  the  wholo 
kingdom  out  of  his  hand:  but  J 
win  make  him  prince  all  the  days 
of  his  life  for  David  my  servant's 
sake,  whom  I  chose,  because  he 
kept  my  commandments  and  my 
statutes;  But  I  will  take  the  king- 
dom out  of  his  son's  hand,  and 
will  give  it  unto  thee,  even  the 
ten  tribes.  And  unto  his  son  will 
I  give  one  tribe,  that  David  my 
servant  may  have  a  light  alway 
before  roe  in  Jerusalem,  the  city 
which  I  hive  chosen  me  to  put 
my  name  there. 

1  Kings  XV  4.  Nevertheless,  for 
David'iisake  did  the  Loao  his  God 
give  biin  a  lamp  in  Jerusalem,  to 
set  np  his  son  aOer  him,  and  to 
establish  Jerusalem. 

2  Kings  vlli,  19.  Yet  the  Loap 
would  not  destroy  Judab  for 
David  his  servant's  sake,  as  he 
promised  Wm  to  give  him  alway 
a  light,  and  to  his  children. 

1  Chron,  xxvlll,  7.  Moreover,  I 
will  establish  his  kingdom  for 
ever,  if  he  be  constant  lo  do  my 
commandments,  and  my  Judg-

2  (Uiron.  vll,  17.  And  as  for  thee, 
if  thou  wilt  walk  before  me,  as 
David  thy  father  walked,  and  do 
according  to  all  that  I  have  com- 
manded thee,  and  shalt  observe 
my  statutes  and  my  Judgments.

David  aUo  his  servant,  and  took 
him  from  the  sheep- (olds:  From 
following  the  ewes  great  with

Jacob  his  people,  and  Israel  his 
inheritance.  So  he  fed  them  ac- 
cordhig  to  the  integrity  of  his 
heart;  and  guided  them  by  the 
skiifulness  of  his  iiands. 

PS.  Ixxxlx,  3, 4, 19-28, 29, 88. 89. 
I  have  made  a  covenant  with  my 
chosen,  I  have  sworn  unto  David 
my  servant,  Thy  seed  will  I  es- 
tablish for  ever,  and  build  up  thy 
throne  to  all  generations.  Selah. 
Then  thon  spakest  ia  vision  to  thy 
Iloly  One,  and  sahlst,  1  have  laid 
help  upon  one  that  is  mighty;  I 
have  exalted  one  chosen  out  of  the 
people.  I  have  found  David  my 
servant;  with  my  holy  oil  have  I 
anointed  him:  With  whom  my 
hand  shall  be  established:  mine 
arm  also  shall  strength^  him. 
The  enemy  shall  not  ex:ict  upon 
him ;  nor  the  son  of  wickedness 
afflict  hhn.  Ills  seed  also  will  I 
make  to  endure  for  ever,  and  his 
throne  as  the  days  of  heaven.  But 
thou  hast  cast  off  and  abhorrod, 
thou  hast  been  wroth  wiUi  thine 
anointed.  Thou  hast  made  void 
the  covenant  of  tliy  servant;  thou 
bast  pcofiined  hi)«  crown  by  (a> 
ing  i^  to  the  ground. 

PS.  cxxxU.  II,  12,  17,  IS.  The 
Loao  hath  sworn  in  tnuh  unto 
David,  he  will  not  turn  from  it; 
Of  the  fruit  of  thy  body  will  I  set 
upon  thy  throne.  If  thy  children 
will  keep  my  covenant  and  my 
testimony  that  I  shall  teach  them, 
their  children  shall  also  sit  upon 
thy  throne  for  evermore.  There 
will  I  make  the  horn  of  David  to 
bud:  I  have  ordained  a  lamp  for 
mine  anointed.  His  enemies  will 
I  clothe  with  shame;  but  upon 
himself  shall  his  crown  flouristi.

nations  whom  the  Lord  destroyed 
before  the  children  of  Israel. 

2  Chron.  xxxUi,  9.  So  Manasseh

Prov.  xxvUI,  16,  16.  28.  .4*  a 
roaring  lion,  and  a  ranging  bear; 
so  is  9k  wicked  ruler  over  the  poor 
people.  The  prince  that  wanteth

pressor: but  he  that  hateth  covet- 
ousness  shall  prolong  his  days. 
When  the  wicked  rise,  men  hide 
thenwelves:  but  when  they  perish, 
the  righteous  increase. 

Eccles.  iT,  18,  14.  Better  is  a

Don.  xl,  80.  And  the  king  shall

8  Kings  iz.  14-16,  27.  So  Jehu 
the  son  of  Jehosbapbat,  the  pon 
of  Mlmshi,  consph^d  against 
Joram:  (now  Joram  had  kept 
Ramoth-gilead,  he  and  all  Israel, 
because  of  Hozael  king  of  Syria: 
But  king  Joram  was  returned  to 
be  healed  in  Jezreel  of  the  wounds 
which  the  Syrians  had  given  htm, 
when  he  fought  with  Hazael  king 
of  Syria:)  and  Jehu  said.  If  it  be 
your  minds,  then  let  none  go  forth 
nor  esoipe  out  of  the  city  to  go  to 
tell  it  in  JezreeL  So  Jehu  rode 
in  a  chariot,  and  went  to  Jezreel; 
(for  Joram  lay  there.)  And  Aha- 
zlah  king  of  Judah  was  come 
down  to  see  JorauL  But  when 
Ahaziah  the  king  of  Judah  saw  this, 
he  fled  by  the  way  of  the  garden- 
house:  and  Jehu  followed  after 
him,  and  said,  Smite  him  also  In 
the  chariot.  And  they  did  so  at 
the  going  up  to  Our,  which  is  by 
Ibleam:  and  he  fled  to  Meglddo, 
and  died  there. 

2  Qhron.  xxIi,7-9.  And  the  de- 
struction of  Ahaziah  was  of  God 
by  coming  to  Joram:  for,  when 
he  was  come,  ho  went  out  with 
Jehoram  against  Jehu  the  son  of 
NImshi,  whom  the  Lord  had 
anointed  to  cut  off  the  house  of 
Ahab.  And  it  came  to  pass,  tiiat, 
when  Jehu  woa  executing  Judg- 
ment upon  the  house  of  Ahab,  and 
found  the  princes  of  Judah,  and 
the  sons  of  the  brethren  of  Aha- 
ziah, that  ministered  to  Ahaziah, 
he  slew  them.  And  he  sought 
Ahaziah:  and  they  caught  him, 
(for  he  was  hid  in  Samaria,)  and 
brought  him  to  Jehu;  and  when 
they  had  sUiln  him,  they  burled 
blm:  Because,  said  they,  he  is  the 
son  of  Jehosbapbat,  who  sought 
the  Lord  with  all  his  heart.  So 
the  house  of  Ahaziah  had  no 
power  to  keep  still  the  kingdom.

the  men  of  David  said  unto  htm. 
Behold  the  day  of  wbich  the  Loan 
said  unto  thee.  Behold,  I  will  de- 
liver tliine  enemy  into  thine  hand, 
that  thou  mayesi  do  to  iiUn  as  It 
shall  seem  good  unto  thee.  Tlien 
David  arose,  and  cut  off  the  skirt 
of  Saul's  robe  privily.  And  it 
came  to  pass  afterward,  that 
David's  heart  smote  him,  becauio 
he  had  cut  off  Saul's  skirt.  And 
he  suld  unto  his  men,  The  Loan 
forbid  that  I  should  do  this  thing 
unto  my  master,  the  Lobo'b 
anointed,  to  stretch  lorth  mine 
hand  against  him,  seeing  he  is  tbe 
anointed  of  the  Loao.  So  David 
stayed  bis  servants  with  these 
words,  and  suffered  them  not  to 
rise  against  SauL  But  Saul  rose 
up  out  of  the  cave,  and  wont  on 
his  way.  And  David  said  to  Suul, 
Wherefore  heare»t  thou  men's 
words,  saying,  Behold,  David 
seeketh  thy  hurt?  The  Loan 
Judge  between  mo  and  thee,  and 
the  LoBD  avenge  me  of  thee;  but 
mine  hand  shall  not  be  upon  thee. 
As  salth  the  proverb  of  the 
ancients,  Wickedness  proceedeth 
from  tlie  wicked:  but  mlue  bond 
shall  not  be  upon  thee. 

1  Sam.  xxvi,  9-1 1,23.  And  David 
said  to  Abi^ihai,  Destroy  him  not: 
for  who  can  stretch  forth  his 
hand  against  the  Loan's  anointed, 
and  be  gulltles;}?  David  said 
furthermore.  As  the  Loed  liveth, 
the  Lord  shall  smite  him:  or  his 
day  shall  come  to  die;  or  he  shall 
descend  into  battld,  and  perl-ti. 
The  Loao  forbid  that  1  shuuid 
stretch  forth  mine  hand  against 
the  Loan's  anointed:  but,  1  pmy 
thee,  take  thou  now  the  spear 
that  is  at  his  bolster,  and  the 
cruse  of  water,  and  let  us  go.  Tho 
Loao  render  to  every  mm  his 
righteousness  and  ids  faithfulness: 
lor  the  Loao  deiiverod  thee  into 
my  hand  to-day,  but  I  would  not 
snatch  forth  mine  hand  against 
the  Loan's  unoiuted. 

2  Sam.  xlx,  7-13,  14-17,  41-43. 
Now  therefore  arise,  go  lortb*,  and 
tfpeak  comfortably  unto  thy  ser- 
vants: for  I  swear  by  the  Loao,  if 
thou  go  not  forth,  there  will  not 
tarry  one  with  thee  this  night;  and 
that  will  be  worse  unto  tUee  than 
all  the  evil  that  befell  thee  fh>m

king  arose,  and  sat  In  the  gate. 
And  they  told  unto  all  tlie  people, 
saying,  Behold,  the  king  doth  sit 
in  the  gate.  And  all  the  people 
came  before  the  king;  for  Israel 
had  fled,  every  man  to  his  tent. 
And  all  tho  people  were  at  strife

And  he  bowed  the  heart  of  all  the

retomed,  and  came  to  Jordan.

or  sheweth  dnto  me  that  my  son 
liath  stirred  up  my  servant  against

Here  I  am,  my  lord.  And  Saul 
said  unto  him,  Why  have  ye  con-

son  of  Jesse Then  Ahime-

thy  servants  as  David,  which  is 
the  king's  son-in-law,  and  goeth 
at  thy  bidding,  and  Is  honourable

it  far  from  me:  let  not  the  king 
impute  any  thing  nnto  his  ser-

nothing  of  all  this,  less  or  more.

woman  said  unto  Joab.  Behold,  his 
head  shall  be  thrown  to  thee  over

unto  all  the  people  in  her  wisdom: 
and  they  cut  off  the  head  of  Sheba

of  Hanani  came  the  word  of  the 
LoBD  against  Baastia,  and  against 
his  house,  even  Cor  aU  the  evil 
that  he  did  in  the  sight  of  the 
LoBD,  in  provoking  him  to  anger 
with  the  work  of  his  tiands,  in- 
being  like  the  house  of  Jeroboam; 
and  beoaose  he  killed  him. 

9  JTIn^s  xiv,  6.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  as  soon  as  the  kingdom  was 
confirmed  In  his  hand,  that  he 
[ Amazlah]  slew  his  servants  which 
had  slain  the  king  his  father. 

Esther  U,  91-28.  In  those  days, 
while  Mordecal  sat  fn  the  king's 
gate,  two  of  tbe  king's  chamber- 
lains. BIgthan  and  Teresh,  of  those 
which  kept  the  door,  were  wroth, 
and  sought  to  lay  hand  on  king 
Anasuerus.  And  the  thing  was 
known  to  Mordecal,  who  told  U 
unto  li^sther  tbe  queen;  and  Esther 
certified  the  king  thereof  in 
MordecaTs  name.  And  when  in- 
quisition was  made  of  the  matter, 
It  was  found  out;  therefore  they 
were  both  hanged  on  a  tree:  and 
it  was  written  in  the  book  of  the 
Chronicles  before  the  king. 

Esther  y\,  2,3.  And  it  was  found 
written,  that  Mordecal  had  told  of 
Blgthana  and  Teresb,  two  of  the 
king's  ohamberialns,  the  keepers 
of  the  door,  who  sought  to  lay 
hand  on  the  sing  Ahasuerus.  And 
the  king  said.  What  honour  and 
dignity  hath  been  done  to  Mor- 
decal for  this?  Then  said  the 
king's  servants  that  ministered 
unto  him,  There  Is  notliing  done 
fortiim. 

REVOLUTIONS. 

1  Sam.  xiil.  18, 14.  And  Samuel 
said  to  Saul,  Thou  bast  done  fool- 
ishly: thou  hast  not  kept  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Loan  thy  God, 
which  he  commanded  thee;  for 
now  would  the  Lobd  have  estab- 
lished thy  kingdom  upon  Israel 
for  ever.  But  now  thy  kingdom 
shall  not  continue:  the  Lobd  hath 
sought  him  a  man  after  Ids  own 
heart,  and  the  Lord  hath  com- 
manded liim  to  be  captain  over  bis 
people,  because  thou  bast  not  kept 
that  wnioh  the  Lobd  commanded 
thee. 

1  Sam.  XV,  26-28  And  Samuel 
said  unto  Saul.  I  will  not  return 
874 


with  thcf :  for  thon  bait  rci}ected 
the  word  of  the  Lk)bu,  and  tbe 
Lobd  bath  reiiected  thee  from 
being  king  over  Israel.  And  as. 
Samuel  turned  about  to  go  away, 
he  Laid  hold  upon  the  skirt  of  bis 
mantle,  and  it  rent.  And  Samuel 
said  unto  him.  The  Lobd  hath 
rent  the  kingdom  of  Israel  frum 
thee  this  day,  and  hath  given  it  to 
a  neighbour  of  thine,  that  is  better 
than  thou. 

1  KinffS  xi,  26,  81.  And  Jero- 
boam the  son  of  Nebat,  an  Ephra- 
Uilte  ofZereda,  Solomon's  servant^ 
(whose  mother's  name  was  Zeruah. 
a  widow  woman,)  even  he  lifted 
up  Ms  hand  against  the  khig.  And 
he  said  to  Jeroboam,  Take  tbee 
ten  pieces  J  for  thus  saith  the 
Lobd,  the  God  of  Israel,  Behold,  I 
will  rend  the  kingdom  out  oi  the 
hand  of  Solomon,  and  will  give 
ten  tribes  to  thee. 

1  Kings  xil,  15, 16, 19, 20.  Where- 
fore  the  king  hearkened  not  nnto 
the  people:  for  the  cause  was  fh>m 
the  Lobd,  that  he  might  perform 
his  saying,  which  the  Lobd  spake 
by  AhlJah  the  Shilonite  nnto  Jer^ 
oboam  the  son  of  Nebat.  So  when 
all  Israel  saw  that  tbe  king  hear- 
kened not  unto  them,  tbe 'people 
answered  the  king,  saying.  What 
portion  have  we  in  David?  neither 
have  we  inheritanoe  in  tbe  son  of 
Jesse;  to  your  tents,  O  Israel:  now 
see  to  thine  own  house,  Darid. 
So  Israel  departed  unto  their 
tents.  So  Israel  rebelled  against 
tbe  house  of  David  unto  this  day. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  when  all  Is- 
rael heard  that  Jeroboam  was 
come  again,  that  they  sent  and 
called  him  unto  the  congregation, 
and  made  him  king  over  all  Is- 
rael: there  was  none  that  followed 
tlie  house  of  David  but  the  tribe 
of  Judahonly. 

9  (!hron.  x,  16, 17.  And  when  all 
Israel  saw  that  the  king  would 
not  hearken  unto  them,  the  people 
answered  the  king,  saying,  What 
portion  have  we  In  David?  and  we 
have  none  Inheritanoe  In  tbe  son 
of  Jesse;  every  man  to  your  tents, 
O  Israel :  and  now,  David,  see  to 
thine  own  house.  So  all  Israel 
went  to  their  tents.  But  as  for 
the  children  of  Israel  that  dwelt 
in  the  cities  of  Jndah,  Behoboam 
reigned  over  them. 

9  ghron.  xiil,  6, 7.  Tet  Jeroboam 
the  son  of  Nebat,  tbe  serrant  of 
Solomon  the  son  of  David,  is  risen 
up,  and  hsth  rebelled  against  his 
lord.  And  there  are  gathered 
unto  him  vain  men,  the  children 
of  Belial,  and  have  strengthened 
themselves  agabist  Behoboam  the 
son  of  Solomon,  when  Behoboam 
was  young  and  tender-hearted, 
and  could  not  withstand  them. 

Jer»  xxil,  29, 80.  O  earih,  earth,

are  we  better  than  thetff  No,  In  no

There  is  none  righteous,  no,  not 
one:  There  is  none  that  undep- 
standeth,  there  is  none  that  seek- 
eth  after  God.  Tbey  are  all  gone 
out  of  the  way,  they  are  together 
become  unprofitable;  there  Is 
none  that  doeth  good,  no,  not 
one.  There  is  no  fsar  of  God  be- 
fore their  eyes.  Now  we  know, 
that  what  things  soever  the  law 
saith.  It  salth  to  them  who  are 
under  the  law;  that  every  mouth 
may  be  stopped,  and  all  the  world 
may  become  guilty  before  God.

In  his  sight:  for  by  (he  law  is  the  j

suld.  Thou  slialt  not  covet.  But 
sin.  taking  occasion  by  the  com- 
mandment, wrought  in  me  all 
manner  of  concupiscence.  Por 
without  the  law  sin  vas  dead. 
Ftirl  was  alive  without  the  law 
once;  but  when  tlie  command- 
ment came,  sin  revived,  and  I 
died.  And  the  commandment, 
which  teas  ordained  to  life,  I 
found  to  be  unto  death.  Fur  sfn, 
taking  occasion  byibe  command- 
ment, deceived  me.  and  by  It  slew 
me.  Wherefore  the  law  is  holy 
and  the  commandment  holy  and 
Just  and  good.  Was  then  that 
which  is  good  made  death  unto 
me?  God  forbid.  But  sin.  that  It 
might  appear  ^in,  working  dt^tb 
in  me  by  that  which  Is  good;  mat 
sin  by  the  commandment  might 
become  exceeding  sinful.  Foi  we 
know  that  the  law  U  spiritual; 
but  I  am  carnal,  sold  nutfer  sin. 
For  that  which  I  do  I  aduw  not: 
for  what  I  wuuld,  that  do  I  not; 
but  what  I  hate,  that  do  L  If 
then  I  do  tliat  whlcli  I  W4iuld  not, 
1  consent  unto  the  law  tliat  it  i$ 
good.  Now  then  it  is  no  more  I 
that  do  it,  but  sin  that  dwelleth  In 
me.  For  1  know  that  In  me  (iliat 
is  in  my  flesh,)  dwelleth  no  good 
thing,  for  to  will  is  pr%sput  with 
me;  but  houi  to  perform  that 
which  is  good  1  find  not.  For  the 
good  that  I  Would  I  do  not:  but 
the  evil  which  I  would  not,  tliat  I 
da  Now.  If  I  do  that  1  would  not, 
it  Is  no  more  1  that  do  it,  but  shi 
that  dwelleth  In  me.  1  find  then 
a  law,  that,  when  I  would  do 
good,  evil  is  presi  ni  with  mo.  For 
1  delight  in  the  ktw  ot  God  after 
the  inward  man:  But  I  see  an-

Jb»  xxvU,  18-28.  But  where  shall 
wisdom  be  found?  and  where  i» 
the  pUoe  of  nndentandlng?  Man 
knoweth  not  the  price  thereof; 
neither  is  It  found  In  the  land  or 
the  living.  The  depth  salth.  It  iM 
not  hi  me;  and  the  sea  salth,  n  is 
not  with  me.  It  cannot  be  gotten 
for  gold,  neither  shall  silver  be 
weighed  for  the  price  thereot 
It  cannot  be  valued  with  the  gold 
of  Ophh*,  i^Ith  the  precious  onyx, 
or  the  sapphire.  The  gold  ana 
the  crystal  cannot  equiS  its  and 
the  exchange  of  It  shall  not  be/or 
jewels  of  ilpe  gold.  No  mention 
shall  be  made  of  coral,  or  of 
pearls:  for  the  price  of  wisdom  is 
above  rubles.  The  topai  of  Ethi- 
opia jhall  not  equal  it,  neither 
shall  9t)e  valued  with  pure  gold. 
Whence  then  cometh  wisdom? 
and  where  is  the  place  of  nnder- 
standhig? Seehig  it  is  hid  fh>m 
the  eyes  of  all  living,  and  kept 
close  from  the  fowls  of  the  air. 
DestmcUon  and  death  say.  We 
have  heard  the  fame  thereof  with 
our  ears.  God  nnderstandeth  the 
way  thereof,  and  he  knoweth  the 
place  thereot  For  he  looketh  to 
the  ends  of  the  earth,  cmd  seeth 
nnder  the  whole  heaven:  To  make 
the  weight  for  the  whids;  and  he 
welgheth  the  waten  by  measure. 
When  he  made  a  decree  fbr  the 
nan,  and  a  way  for  the  lightning 
of  the  thunden  Then  did  he  see 
it)  and  declare  it;  he  prepared  it 
yea,  and  searched  It  out.  And 
unto  man  he  said.  Behold,  the  fear 
of  the  Lord,  that  is  wisdom;  and 
to  depart  ttom  evU  is  undorstand- 
Uig. 

Prot>,  I,  80>28.  Wisdom  crieth 
without;  she  nttereth  her  voice  In 
the  streeto:  She  crieth  in  the 
chief  place  of  concourse,  hi  the 
openings  of  the  gates;  in  the  dty 
she  nttereth  her  words,  saving, 
How  long,  ye  shnple  ones,  wlU  ye 
love  simplicity?  and  the  soornen 
delight  in  their  scumlDg,  and 
fools  hate  knowledge?  Turn  yon 
at  my  reproof:  behold,  I  will  poor 
ont  my  Sph-lt  mito  yon,  I  will 
make  known  my  words  unto  yon. 

Prov,  m.  18-90.  Happy  is  the 
man  that  ludeth  wisdom,  and  the 
man  that  getteth  understanding: 
For  the  merchandise  of  it  is  better 
than  the  merchandise  of  silver, 
and  the  gain  thereof  than  line

the  tioghming  of  his  way,  before 
bis  works  of  old.  I  waa  set  up 
trotn  everiasting,  from  tlie  begin- 
ning, er  ever  the  earth  was.  When 
there  v>ere  no  depths,  I  was 
brought  forth;  when  there  were  no 
founuins  abounding  with  water. 
Before  the  mountalnswere  settled; 
before  the  hills  was  I  brouglit  forth: 
While  aa  yet  he  had  not  made 
the  earth,  nor  the  fields,  nor  the 
highest  part  of  the  dtut  of  the 
world.  When  he  prepared  the 
heaveni,  I  was  there:  when  he  set 
a  compass  upon  the  face  of  the 
depth :  When  be  established  the 
clouds  above:  when  be  strength- 
ened the  fountains  of  the  deep: 
When  he  gave  to  the  sea  his  de- 
cree, that  the  waters  should  not 
pass  his  commandment:  when  he 
appointed  the  foundations  of  the 
earth:  Then  I  was  by  hhn,  as  one 
bronght  up  with  htm;  and  I  was 
dally  his  delight,  rejoicing  always 
before  him;  Reiolcing  in  the 
habitable  part  of  hl«  earth; 'and 
my  dellghia  were  with  the  aons 
of  men.  Now  therefore  hearken 
unto  me,  O  ye  children:  for  blessed 
are  thev  that  keep  my  ways. 
Hear  iustrucilon,  and  be  wise, 
and  refuse  it  not.  l$lessed  is  the 
man  that  heareth  me,  watching 
daily  at  my  gates,  waiting  at  the 
poets  of  my  doors.  For  whoso 
flndeth  me  flndeth  life,  and  shall 
obtain  favour  of  the  Lobo.  But 
be  that  slnneth  against  me  wrong- 
eth  his  own  soul:  all  they  that 
hate  me  love  death. 

Prov.  ix,  1-6.  Wisdom  bath 
builded  her  bouse,  she  hath  hewn 
out  her  seven  pillars;  She  hath 
killed  ber  beasts;  she  hath  min- 
gled h^r  wme;  she  hath  also  fur- 
nished her  Ublc :  She  hath  sent 
forth  her  maidens;  she  crleth

undentanding. 

FOLLY. 

Prov.  z,  S8.  It  is  tm  sport  to  a 
fool  to  do  mlschlet:  but  a  man  of 
understandhig  hath  wisdom. 

Prov.  xlil,  19.  The  desire  accom- 
plished Is  sweet  to  the  soul:  but 
it  is  abomination  to  fooli  to  de- 
part from  evil. 

Prov.  xvll,  16.  Wherefore  is 
there  a  price  In  the  hand  of  a  fool 
to  get  wisdom,  seeing  he  hath  no 
heart  too?

Prov.  xxlT,  7.  Wisdom  is  too 
high  for  a  fool;  he  openeth  not  his 
mouth  In  the  gate. 

Prov.  xxvL  1,  4-6.  As  snow  In 
summer,  and  as  rain  In  harvest; 
so  hononr  is  not  seemly  fur  u  foot 
Answer  not  a  fool  according  to  his

conceit  lie  tiiat  sendeth  a  mee- 
soge  by  the  band  of  a  fool  cntteth

whether  he  rage  or  laugh,  there  i»

WISDOM  IN  CONTRAST  * 
WITH  FOLLY. 

Prov.  xU.  6.  A  man  shall  bo 
commended  according  to  liU  wis- 
dom: but  lie  that  Is  of  a  perverse 
beart  shall  be  despised. 

Prov.  xlv,  8. 15,  18, 33.  The  wis- 
dom of  the  prudent  is  to  under- 
stand his  way:  but  the  folly  of  fooSa 
is  deceit  The  simple  l^clleveth 
every  word:  but  the  prudent  man 
looketh  well  to  his  going.  The 
simple  Inherit  folly:  but  the  pru- 
dent are crownod  with  knowledge. 
Wisdom  rcsteth  In  the  heart  of 
him  that  hath  understanding:  but 
that  which  is  In  the  midst  of  fools 
is  made  known. 

Prov.  XV,  21.  Pojly  to  Joy  to  him 
that  is  destitute  of  wisdom :  but  a 
man  of  understonOiug  walketh 
uprightly. 

Prov.  xvi,  22.  Undcrttanding  is 
a  weli-eprhig  of  Uie  unio  iiim  that 
hath  it:  but  the  Instruction  of  fools 
U  foUy. 

Prov.  xvll,  24.  Wisdom  is  before 
him  that  hath  understanding:  bnt# 
the  eyes  of  a  fool  ore  in  the  ends 
of  the  earth. 

Prov.  xxll,  8.  A  prudent  man 
foreseeth  the  evil,  and  hlduth 
himself;  btU  the  shnple  pass  on, 
a^  are  punished. 

Prov.  xxvU,  12.  A  prudent  man 
foreseeth  the  evil,  and  hlUcth 
himself  Imt  the  shnple  pass  on, 
and  are  itanlshed. 

Prov.  xxvlU,  6.  Evil  men  under- 
stand not  Judgment:  but  they 
that  seek  the  Lo&u  understand  all 
things, 

Ecdes.  11, 12, 13.  And  I  turned 
myself  to  behold  wisdom,  and 
madness,  and  folly:  for  what  ooit 
the  man  do  that  cometh  after  the 
king?  even  that  which  hath  been 
already  done.  Then  I  saw  that 
wisdom  excellelh  folly,  aa  far  aa 
light  excelleth  darkness. 

Dan.  xli,  10.  Many  shall  be 
purified,  and  made  while,  and 
tried;  bnt  the  wicked  shall  do 
wickedly:  and  none  of  the  wicked 
shall  understand:  but  the  wise

MAN'S  MORAL  NATURE. 

PUBSUIT  OP  HAPPUfXSS. 

JS6cles.  1, 2, 8,  12,  18.  Vanity  of 
vanities,  saitb  tbe  Preacher, 
vanity  of  vanities;  all  is  vanity. 
What  profit  batb  a  man  of  all  bis 
labour  which  he  takelb  under  the 
sun?  I  the  Preacher  was  king 
over  Israel  in  Jerusalem;  And  I 
gave  my  heart  to  seek  and 
search  out  by  wisdom  concerning 
all  things  that  are  done  under 
heaven:  this  sore  travaU  bath 
God  given  to  the  sons  of  man,  tOi 
be  exercised  therewith.  . 

EccUs.  il,  20-2rf»  Therefore^ 
went  aboqt  to  cause  my  hf art  te 
devpalr'of/ll  tlie  labour  which  I 
took  under. the  spn.  For  there  Js, 
a  man  whose  la4H>ur  is  in  wisdom, 
and  in  knowledge,  and,  in  equity, 
yf  t  to  'a  man  timt  batb  ^ol 
laboured  therein  shall  be  leave 
it  /(|r  bis  porlion.  *  This  a^ss  is 
vanity,   end  a  «eat   evil.  'For 


aft<f  of  the  vexation  of  his  Iioart, 
wherein  he  hath  laboured  under 
tbe  «un?  For  all  bis  days  are 
sorrows,  and  his  travail  grief,  yea, 
his  heart  takeih  not  rest  in  the 
night  This  is  also  vanity.  Tfiere 
is  nothing  better  for  a  man,  than 
that  he  sliould  eat  and  drink,  and 
that  he  should  make  bis  soul 
enjoy  good  In  his  labour.  This 
also  I  saw,  that  it  w<u  from  the 
hand  of  God.  For  who  can  cat,  or 
who  else  can  fasten  hereunto, 
more  tlian  1?  For  God  giveth  to 
a  man  that  is  good  In  bis  sight 
wisdom,  and  kno^vledge,  and  joy: 
but  to  the  sinner  he  giveth  travail, 
to  gather,  and  to  heap  up,  tliat  be 
may  give  to  him  tttat  is  good  bo- 
fore  God.  This  also  fa  vanity  and 
vexation  of  spirit. 

.Bcdes.  Ill,  10-13.  I  have  seen 
the  travail  which  God  bafb  given 
to  the  sons  of  men  to  be  exercised 
bi  it.  'He  halh  made  every  thing 
beautiful  In  bis  tbne:  also  he  hath 
set  the  world  in  their  heart;  so  that 
uo  man  can  And  out  the  work 
that  God  maketh  from  tbe  be- 
ginning to  the  end.  1  know  that 
there  is  no  good  In  them,  but  for 
a  man  to  rejoice,  and  to  do  good  In 
bis  life.  And  also  that  every 
man  should  eat  and  drink,  and 
eujoy  the  good  of  all  bis  labour.it  is 
the  gift  01  God.

EcOes.  Till,  6,  6,  7, 16.  Whoso

knowelh  not  that  which  siiall  be: 
for  who  can  tell  him  when  It  shall 
be?  Tben  I  commanded  mirib, 
because  a  man  bath  no  better 
thing  under  tbe  sun,  than  to  eat, 
and  to  drink,  and  to  be  merry;  for 
that  shaU  aWde  with  him  of  bit 
labour  Uie  di»ys  of  bis  life,  which 
God  giveth  him  under  the  sun.

Judges  v,  19.  The  kings  came

Job  xzxvi,  18. 19.  Because  there

he  esteem  thy  riches?  no,  not

Tbe  increase  of  his  house  shall  de-

Prov.  zzUl,  6.  Wilt  thou  set

to  go  through  the  eye  of  a  neeile,

he  was  sad  at  that  saying,  and 
went  away  grieved:  for  he  hxtd 
great  possessions.  And  Jesus 
looked  round  a^ut,  and  salth 
unto  his  disciples,  How  hardly 
shall  they  that  have  riches  enter 
Into  the  kUigdom  of  Godl  And 
the  disciples  were  astonished  at

agaha,  and  saith  unto  them,  Chil-

that  trust  in  ri<dies  to  enter  into

for  a  camel  to  go  through  the  eye 
of  a  needle,  than  for  arich  man  to

And  they  were  astonished  out  of

P8.  IxxTii,  7-9.  Will  the  Loan 
oast  off  for  ever?  and  will  be  be 
favourable  no  more?  Is  his  mercy 
dean  gone  for  ever?  doth  his  pro- 
mise fall  for  evermore?  Hath  Ood 
forgotten  to  be  gracious?  hath  he 
In  anger  shut  up  bis  tender  mer-

ISO.  zxii,  13.  And  In  that  day

jrattJk.vl,96,81.88,8A.  There- 
fore  I  say  unto  you.  Take  no 
thought  fbr  your  life,  what  ye 
shaU  eat,  or  what  ve  snaU  drink; 
nor  yet  for  your  body,  what  ye 
shall  put  on.  Is  not  the  life  more 
than  meat,  and  the  body  than 
raiment?  Therefore  take  no 
thought,  saying.  What  shall  we 
eat?  or.  What  shall  we  drtok?  or. 
Wherewithal  shall  we  be  clothed? 
But  seek  ye  first  the  kingdom  of 
Ood,  and  his  righteousness;  and 
all  these  things  shall  be  added 
nnto  you.  Take  therefore  no 
thought  for  the  morrow :  lor  the 
morrow  shall  take  thought  for  the 
things  of  itself.  SuOldent  nnto 
the  day  is  the  evil  thereof! 

Luke  X.  89-48.  And  she  had  a 
sister  called  Mary,  which  also  sat 
at  Jesus'  feet,  and  heard  his  word. 
And  Martha  was  cumbered  about 
much  serving,  and  came  to  him, 
and  said.  Lord,  dost  thou  not 
care  that  my  sister  hath  left  me 
to  serve  alone?  bid  her  therefore 
that  she  help  me.  And  Jesus  an- 
swered and  said  unto  her,  Martha. 
Martha,  thou  art  careful  ana 
troubled  about  many  things:  But 
one  tbUig  is  needlul:  and  Mary 
hath  chosen  that  good  part, 
which  shall  not  be  taken  away 
from  her. 

Luke  xU.  88, 88,  85-87.  And  he 
said,  unto  his  disciples.  Therefore 
I  say  unto  you.  Take  no  thought 
for  your  life,  what  ye  shall  eat; 
neither  fbr  the  body,  what  ye 
shall  put  on.  The  life  is  more 
than  meat,  and  the  body  is  more 
than  raiment.  And  which  of  you, 
with  taking  thought,  can  add  to 
his  stature  one  cubit?  If  ye  then 
be  not  able  to  do  that  thing  which 
Is  least,  why  take  ye  thought  for 
the  rest?  Consider  the  lilius  how 
they  grow:  tbey  toU  not,  they 
spin  not;  and  yet  I  say  unto  you, 
that  Solomon,  In  all  his  glory,  was 
not  arrayed  like  one  of  these. 

lAike  xU,  88-81.  If  then  Ood  so

in  the  Held,  and  to-morrow  Is  cast

torn  he  clothe  you,  O  ye  of  little 
filth?  And  seek  not  ye  what  ye 
shall  eat?  or  what  ye  shall  drink, 
neither  be  ye  of  doubtful  mind. 
For  all  these  things  do  the  nations 
of  the  world  seek  aften  and  your 
Father  knoweth  that  ye  have 
need  of  these  things.  But  rather 
seek  ye  the  kingdom  of  Ood;  and 
aU  these  things  shaU  be  added 
nnto  yon.

I  have  heard  the  mnrmurlngs

away  their  murmnrings  fhim  me,

And  the  children  of  Israel  said 
unto  them.  Would  to  Ood  we  had

arose  from  the  table  In  fierce 
anger,  and  did  eat  no  meat  the 
second  day  of  the  month:  for  he 
was  grieved  for  David,  because 
his  father  had  done  him  shame. 


1  Sam.  XXV,  17.  Now  therefore 
know  and  consider  what  Ihon  wilt 
do;  for  evil  Is  determined  against 
our  master,  and  agaluot  all  his

spoken  concerning  thee,  and  shall 
have  appointed  thee  ruler  over 
Israel,  That  this  phall  be  no 
grief  unto  thee,  nor  offence  of 
heart  unto  my  lord,  either  that 
thou  hast  shed  blood  causeless,  or 
•  that  my  lord  hath  avenged  him- 
self; but  when  the  Loud  sliull  have 
dealt  well  with  my  lord,  tlien  r^ 
member  thine  handmaid.  And 
David  said  to  Abigail,  Blessed  be 
the  Lord  God  of  Israel,  which 
sent  thee  this  day  to  meet  me: 
And  blessed  be  thy  advice,  and 
blebsed  be  thou,  which  hast  kept 
me  this  day  from  comhig  to  shed 
blood,  and  from  avenging  myself 
with  mine  own  hand.  For  In  very 
deed,  as  the  Lord  God  of  Israel 
llveth,  which  hath  kept  mo  back 
from  hurting  thee,  except  thou 
hadst  hasted  and  come  to  meet 
me,  surely  there  had  not  been  left 
unto  Nabdl,  by  the  morning  light, 
any  that  plsseth  against  the  wall. 
So  David  received  of  her  hand 
that  which  she  had  brought  him, 
and  said  unto  her.  Go  up  in  peace

In  the  field  where  tUon  art,  and  I

thee;  and  what  I  see,  that  I  will 
tell  thee.  And  Jonathan  called 
David,  and  Jonathan  showed  him 
all  those  things:  and  Jonathan 
brought  David  to  Sanl,  and  he 
was  in  his  presence,  as  in  times 
past.  And  there  was  war  again : 
and  David  went  nut  and  fought 
with  the  Philistines,  and  slew 
them  with  a  grtmt  slaugliter;  and 
they  fl  'd  from  him. 

1  Sam.  XX.  1,  8,  4.  And  David 
fled  from  Naioth  In  Ramah,  and 
CI  me  and  said  before  Jonathan, 
Wliat  have  I  done?  what  Is  mine 
iniquity?  and  what  is  my  sin  be- 
fore thy  father,  that  he  seeketh 
my  life?  And  be  said  unto  him, 
God  forbid;  thon  shalt  not  die: 
behold,  my  father  will  do  nothing, 
el r her  great  or  small,  but  that  he 
will  show  It  me;  and  why  should 
my  father  hide  this  thing  from 
me?  it  is  not  so.  Then  said  Jona- 
than unto  David,  Whatsoever  thy 
soul  deslrelh,  I  wlU  even  do  U  for 
thee. 


And  gaul  took  him  that  day,  and 
would  let  hJm  go  no  more  home 
to  his  father's  house.  Then  Jon-

strengthened  his  hand  In  QLod. 
And  he  paid  unto  him,  Fear  not; 
for  the  band  of  Saul  my  father 
shall  not  find  thee:  and  thon 
Shalt  be  king  over  Israel,  and  I 
shall  lie  next  unto  thee;  and  that

LoBD  with  thco:  notwithstanding, 
If  there  he  in  me  iniquity,  sby  me 
thyself;  for  why  shouldest  thou 
bring  me  to  thy  father?  And  Jon- 
athan  said.  Far  be  It  from  tliee: 
for  If  I  knew  certainly  that  evil 
were  determined  by  my  father  to 
come  upon  thee,  then  would  not 
I  tell  it  thee?  Then  said  David 
t>  Jontltiian,  Who  shall  tell  me? 
or  what  if  thy  father  answer  thee 
rougldy?  And  Jonathan  said 
unto  David,  Come,  and  let  us  go 
out  into  the  field.  And  they 
went  out  both  of  them  into 
the  field.  And  Jonathan  said 
unto  David,  O  Lord  God  of 
Israel,  when  I  have  sounded  my 
father  about  to-morrow  any  time, 
or  the  third  day,  and,  behold,  if 
there  be  good  toward  David,  and 
I  then  send  not  unto  thee,  and 
show  it  thee.

Blldad  the  Sbublte,  and  Zophar 
the  Naamathlto:  for  they  had 
made  an  appointment  together  to 
come  to  mourn  with  him,  and  to 
comfort  lilm.  So  they  sat  down 
with  him  upon  the  ground  seven 
days  and  seven  nights,  and  none 
spake  a  word  unto  him:  for  they

FALSE  FRIENDS. 
Job  y\  16-20.  .My  brethren 
have  dealt  deceitfully  as  a  brook, 
and  as  the  stream  of  brooks  they 
passed  away.  Which  are  l)lack-

wherein  tlie  snow  is  hid:  What

out  of  their  place.  The  paths  of 
their  way  are  turned  aside;  they 
go  to  nothing,  and  perish.  The

the  soul  that  sinneth,  It  shall  die. 
But  if  a  man  be  just,  and  do  that

lo,  f/he  beget  a  son.  that  seeth  all

and  hath  covered  the  naked  with

As  for  bis  father,  because  bo 
cru»?lly  oppressed,  spoiled  bis 
brother  by  violence,  and  did 
that  which  is  not  good  among  his 
peuple,  lo,  even  he  shall  die  in  bin 
iniquity.  Yet  say  ye,  Why?  doth 
not  the  son  bear  the  iniquity  of

done  that  which  is  lawful  and 
rights  and  hath  kept  all  my  stat- 
utes, and  bath  done  them,  he 
shall  surely  Uve.  The  soul  that 
sinneth,  it  shall  die.  The  son 
shall  not  bear  the  iniquity  of  the 
father,  neither  shall  the  father 
bear  the  iniquity  of  the  sou :  the

shall  be  upon  him,  and  the  wick-

all,  but  one  recetveth  the  prlzep 
So  run,  that  ye  may  obtain.  And 
every  man  that  striveth  for  the 
mastery  is  temperate  in  all  things. 
Now  they  do  U  to  obtain  a  cor- 
ruptible crown,  but  we  an  incor- 
ruptible. I  therefore  so  run,  not 
as  uncertainly;  so  fight  I,  not  as 
one  that  beatetb  the  air.  But  I 
keep  under  my  body,  and  bring 
U  into  subjection;  lest  that  by  any 
means,  when  I  have  preached  to 
others,  I  myself  should  be  a  cast- 
away. 

%  Tim,  li;6.  And  if  a  man  also 
strive  for  masteries,  tfet  is  he  not 
crovmed,  except  he  strive  h&w- 
fUUy. 

Heb.xH,!,  Wherefore,  seeing 
we  also  are  compassed  about 
with  so  great  a  cloud  of  wltnessesi 
let  ns  lay  aside  every  weight,  and 
the  sin  which  doth  so  easily  beset 
us,  and  let  us  run  with  patienoe 
the  race  that  is  set  before  us.

breasts  that  I  should  suck?  For

been  quiet,  I  should  have  slept: 
then  had  I  been  at  rest  With

which  built  desolate  places  for 
themselves;  Or  with  princes  that 
had  gold,  who  filled  their  houses

Cometh  not:  and  dig  for  It  more

when  they  can  find  the  grave? 
Why  is  light  given  to  a  man

chosen  rather  than  life  by  all  the 
residue  of  them  that  remain  of 
this  evil  family,  which  remain  In 
all  the  pluces  whither  1  have 
driven  them,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts. 

Jer.  XX,  14-ia  Cursed  be  the 
day  wherein  I  was  bom:  let  not 
the  day  wherein  ipy  mother  bare 
me  be  blessed.  Cursed  be  the 
man  who  brought  tidings  to  my 
father,  saying,  A  mau-chllt!  la 
bom  unto  thee,  making  him  very 
glad.  And  let  that  man  be  as 
the  cities  which  the  Lord  over- 
threw, and  repented  nut;  and  lot 
him  boor  the  cry  in  the  morning, 
and  the  shouting  at  noon-tiue; 
Ijecanse  he  slew  me  not  Irom  the 
womb;  or  that  my  mother  might 
have  b«on  my  grave,  and  her 
womb  to  be  always  great  wiUi 
me.  Wherefore  came  1  forth  out 
of,  the  Womb  to  see  labour  and 
sorrow,  that  my  days  should  bo  • 
consumed  with  shame? 

Jonah  iv,  8,  8.  Therefore  now, 
O  Lord,  take,  I  beseech  thee,  my 
life  fri»m  mo;  for  it  is  better  for 
me  to  die  than  to  live.  And  tt 
came  to  pass,  when  the  sun  did 
arise,  that  God  prepared  a  vehe- 
ment east  wind;  and  the  sun  beat 
upon  the  head  of  Jonah,  that  he 
fatoted,  and  wished  in  himself  to 
die,  and  said,  Jt  is  belter  for  me 
to  di^^au  to  live. 

Sev.  ix,  6.  And  In  those  days

THE  RESURRECTION  OF 
THE  DEAD. 

Job  xlx,  23-27.  Oh  that  my 
words  were  now  written  1  oh  that 
they  were  printed  in  a  book  I 
Tliat  they  were  graven  with  an 
iron  pen  and  lead  in  the  rock  for 
eTerl  For  I  know  tfuU  my  Re- 
deemer llTeth,  and  that  he  shall 
stand  at  the  latter  day  upon  the 
earth:  And  though  after  my  skin 
toorms  destroy  this  body,  yet  in 
my  flesh  shall  I  see  God:  Whom 
I  shall  see  for  myself,  and  mine 
eyes  rtiall  behold,  and  not  ano- 
ther, though  my  reins  be  consumed 
within  me. 

F8.  zllx,  16.  But  God  wUl  re- 
deem my  sonl  firom  the  power  of 
the  grave;  for  he  shall  receive  me. 
Selah. 

IstL  xxy\.  19.  Thy  dead  men 
shall  Mje,  together  u>ith  my  dead 
body  shall  shall  they  arise.  Awake 
and  sing,  ye  that  dwell  in  dust: 
for  thy  dew  is  as  the  dew  of  herbs, 
and  the  earth  shall  oast  out  the 
dead. 

Dan.  zU,  t.  And  many  of  them 
that  sleep  in  the  dust  of  the  earth 
shall  awake,  some  to  everlasting 
life,  and  some  to  shame  and  ever- 
lasting contempt. 

Ho8.  zlil,  14.  I  will  ransom  them 
from  the  power  of  the  grave;  I 
will  redeem  them  from  death:  O 
death,  I  will  be  thy  plagues;  O 
grave,  I  will  be  thy  destruction: 
repentance  shall  be  hid  flrom  mine 
eyes.     . 

John  V,  28, 29.  Marvel  not  at 
this:  for  the  hoar  Is  coming,  in  the 
which  all  that  are  In  the  graves 
shall  hear  his  voice.  And  shall 
come  forth;  they  that  have  done 
good,  onto  the  resurrection  of 
life;  and  they  that  have  done 
evil,  unto  the  resurrection  of 
damnation. 

John  Ti,  89.  And  this  is  the 
Father's  will  which  hath  sent  me, 
that  of  all  which  he  hath  given 
me  I  should  lose  nothing,  but 
should  raise  it  up  again  at  the  last 
day. 

John  zl.  28, 24.  Jesus  salth  unto 
her,  Thy  brother  shall  rise  again. 
Martha  saith  unto  him.  I  know 
that  he  shall  rise  again  in  the  re- 
surrection at  the  last  day. 

Acts  zxlv,  10,  21.  And  have 
hope  toward  God,  which  they 
themselves  also  allow,  that  there 
shall  be  a  resurrection  of  the 
dead,  both  of  the  Just  and  uqjust. 
Except  it  be  fur  this  one  voice,

that  I  cried  sfaading  among  them, 
Touching  the  resuiTectlon  of  thu 
dead  I  am  called  in  question  by 
you  this  day. 

Acts  xxvi,  e-a  And  now  I  stand 
and  am  Judged  for  the  hope  of 
the  promise  made  of  God  uuto 
our  ratbers:  Unto  which  promise 
our  twelve  tribes,  intttantly  serv- 
ing Ood  day  and  night,  hope  to 
come:  for  which  hope's  sake, 
king  Agrippa,  I  am  accused  of  the 
Jews.  Why  should  It  be  thought 
a  thing  incredible  with  you,  that 
God  should  raise  the  dead? 

Seb.ji,  19,85.  Accounting  that 
God  toos  able  to  raise  him  up, 
even  from  the  dead:  from  whence 
also  he  received  him  in  a  figure. 
Women  received  thefr  dead  raised 
to  life  again:  and  others  were 
tortured,  not  accepting  deliver- 
ance; that  they  nUght  obtain  a 
better  resurrection. 

1  Thess.  Iv,  16, 16.  For  this  we 
say  unto  you  by  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  that  we  which  are  alive  cmd 
remain  unto  the  coming  of  the 
Lord,  shall  not  prevent  them 
which  are  asleep.  For  the  I^oao 
himself  shall  descend  from  heaven 
with  a  shout,  with  the  voice  of 
the  archangel,  and  with  the  trump 
of  God;  and  the  dead  in  Christ 
shall  rise  first. 

Pbooto. 

Mark  xil,  26, 27.  And  ai  tonch- 
ing  tlie  dead,  that  they  rldo;  have 
ye  not  read  in  the  book  of  Moses, 
how  in  tbe  bush  God  spake  unto 
him,  saying,  I  am  the  God  of 
Abraham,  and  the  God  of  Isaac, 
and  the  Ood  of  Jacob?  He  is  not 
the  God  of  the  dead,  but  tbe  Ood 
of  the  living:  ye  theretore  do 
greatly  err. 

1/ufte  XX,  87, 88.  Now.  that  the 
dead  are  raised,  even  Moses 
shewed  at  the  bosh,  when  he 
calleth  the  Lord  the  God  of 
Abraham,  and  the  God  of  Isaac, 
and  the  God  of  Jacob.  For  he  is 
not  a  God  of  the  dead,  but  of  the 
living:  for  all  live  unto  him. 

Bom.  vl,  6.  For  if  we  have  been 
planted  together  in  the  likeness 
of  his  death,  we  shall  be  also  in 
the  likeness  of  his  resurrection. 

1  Oor,  XV,  18-23,  49, 60.  But  if 
there  be  no  resurrection  of  the 
dead,  then  is  Christ  not  risen.  And 
if  Christ  be  not  risen,  then  Is  onr 
preaching  vain,  and  your  faith  is 
also  vain.  Yea,  and  we  are  found 
false  witnesses  of  God;  because 
we  have  testified  of  God  that  he 
raised  up  Christ:  whom  he  raised 
not  up,  if  so  be  that  the  dead  rise 
not  For  If  the  dead  rise  not, 
then  is  not  Christ  raised;  And  if 
Christ  be  not  raised,  your  bJth  is 
vain;  ye  are  yet  in  your  sins. 
Then  they  also  which  are  fallen 
asleep  in  Christ  are  perished.  If  in

«lDce  by  man  came  death,  by  man 
eame  also  the  resurrection  of  the

even  so  in  Cbrist  shall  all  be  made 
alive.  But  every  man  in  bis  own 
order  Christ  tbe  first -(raits; 
afterward  they  that  are  Christ's 
at  his  coming.  And  as  we  have 
borne  the  image  of  the  earthy,  we 
Bbaii  also  bear  the  image  of  tbe 
heavenly.  Now  this  I  say,  breth-

Lvke  XX,  83-86.  Therefore  in 
the  resurrection  whose  wife  of 
tbein  is  she?  for  seven  had  her  to 
wife.  And  Jesus  answerlu?,  said 
unto  them,  The  cblldreu  uf  Ibis 
world  marry,  and  are  given  in 
marriage:  But  they  which  shall 
bo  accounted  worthy  to  obtain 
that  world,  and  the  resurrection 
from  the  dead,  neither  marry,  nor 
are  given  lu  marriage:  Neither 
can  they  <Ue  any  more:  for  they 
are  equal  nnto  the  augels;  and  are 
the  cluidron  of  Gbd,  being  the 
Children  ot  the  resurrection. 

John  T,  23.  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
uuto  you,  Tlio  hour  is  coming,  and 
now  id,  wheu  the  dead  sliall  hear 
tlio  voice  ot  the  Son  of  Ood:  and 
they  that  hear  shall  live. 

1  Qor.  xvf,  42-48, 61-66.  So  also 
is  the  roBurrcctiou  ol  the  dead:  it 
Is  5<'Wo  tu  corruption,  it  is  raised 
in  liicurxnpilon:  It  is  sown  in 
dishuuour.  It  Is  raised  in  glory:  it 
Is  soun  in  wealiness,  it  is  raised 
In  powen  It  is  suwn  a  natural 
body,  it  is  raised  a  spiritual  body. 
Tbero  is  a  natural  body,  and  there 
Is  a  spiritual  body.  And  so  it  is 
written,  Tiio  first  man  Adam  was 
made  a  living  soul,  the  last  Adam 
was  made  a  quiclicntng  spirit. 
Uowbelt  that  was  not  first  which 
Is  spiritual,  but  that  which  Js 
natural;  and  afterward  that  which 
is  spiritual.  The  first  man  is  of 
the  earth,  earthy;  the  second  man 
is  the  Lord  from  heaven.  As  is 
tbe  earthly,  such  are  they  also 
that  are  earthy:  and  as  is  the 
heavenly,  such  are  they  also  that 
are  heavenly.  Behuld,  I  shew 
you  a  mystery;  We  shall  not  all 
sleep,  but  we  sliall  all  bo  changed. 
In  a  moment,  in  the  twlukJing  of 
an  eye,  at  the  lust  trump;  (tor  the 
trumpet  shall  sound;)  and  the  dead 
shall  be  raised  iucorruptible,  and 
we  shall  be  changed.  For  this 
corroptible  must  put  on  inoor- 
ruptlun,  and  this  mortal  must  put 
on  imni  *rtallty.  So  wheu  this 
corruptible  shall  have  put  on  !&• 


MAN, 

ooiraptfoQ,  and  this  mortal  shall 
have  put  on  Immortality,  then 
shall  be  brought  to  pass  the  say- 
ing that  is  written,  Death  is  swal- 
lowed up  In  victory.  O  death, 
where  is  thy  sting?  O  giave, 
where  is  thy  victory?  Tho  sting 
of  death  is  sin;  and  the  strength 
of  sin  is  the  law. 

Fha,  lli,  11. 21.  If  by  any  means 
I  niight  attain  unto  the  resiureo- 
tion  of  tbe  dead.  Who  shall 
change  our  vile  body,  that  it  may 
be  fashioned  like  unto  his  glorious 
body,  according  to  the  workbig 
whereby  he  Is  able  even  to  subdue 
all  things  unto  hbnsolt 

1  27keM.lv,  13,14, 17,  la  Eut  I 
would  not  have  you  to  be  igno- 
rant, brethren,  concerning  them 
which  are  asleep,  that  ye  sorrow 
not,  even  as  otht^rs  which  have  no 
hope.  For  If  we  believe  that 
Jesus  died,  and  rose  again,  even 
so  them  also  which  sleep  in  Jesus 
wlU  God  bring  with  hlin.  Then 
we  which  are  alive  and  rem:iin 
shall  be  caught  up  together  with 
tbem  in  the  clouds,  to  meet  tbe 
Lord  in  the  ain  and  so  shall  we 
ever  be  with  tbe  Lord.  Where- 
fore comfort  one  another  with 
those  words.

Ezek.  xxxvii,  l,  7-14.  The  hand 
of  the  Loao  was  upon  me,  and 
carried  me  out  in  the  spirit  of  the 
Lord,  and  set  me  down  in  the 
midst  of  tbe  valley  which  toas  full 
of  bones.  So  1  prophesied  as  I  was 
commanded:  and  as  I  prophesied, 
there  was  a  noise,  and  behold  a 
shaking,  and  the  bones  came  to- 
gether bone  to  his  bone.  And 
when  1  beheld,  lo,  the  sinews  and 
the  flesh  came  op  upon  them,  and 
the  skin  covered  them  above:  but 
there  toas  no  breath  In  them. 
Then  said  he  unto  me,  Prophesy 
unto  the  wind,  prophesy,  son  of 
man,  and  say  to  the  wind.  Thus 
sailh  the  Lord  Goo;  come  from 
the  four  winds,  O  breath,  and 
breathe  upon  these  slain,  that 
they  may  live.  So  1  prophesied 
as  be  commanded  me,  and  the 
breath  came  into  them,  and  they 
lived,  and  stood  up  upon  their 
feet,  an  exceeding  great  army. 
Then  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of 
man,  these  bones  are  the  whole 
house  of  Israel:  behold,  they  say, 
(7ur  bones  are  dried,  and  our 
hope  is  lost:  we  are  cut  oO^  for  our 
parts.  Therefore  prophesy  and 
say  unto  theiu/rhus  salih  tbe  Lord 
God,  Behold,  O  my  people,  I  wUI 
open  your  graves,  and  cause  you 
to  come  up  out  of  your  graves 
and  bring  you  into  the  land  of 
Israel;  And  ye  sha'll  know  that  1 
am  the  Loan,  when  I  have  opened 
your  graves,  O  my  people,  and 
b. ought  you  up  out  of  your 
graves.  And  shall  put  my  Spirit 
417 


In  you,  and  ye  shall  live;  audi 
shall  place  you  in  your  own  land: 
then  fcball  ye  know  that  I  tbe 
LoBo  have  spoken  it,  and  per-

Matth.  xxvli,  63,  63.  And  tho 
graves  were  opened;  and  many 
bodies  of  the  saints  which  slept 
arose.  And  came  out  of  the  graves 
after  his  resurrection,  and  went 
into  the  holy  city,  and  appeared 
unto  many. 

John  xii,  9.  Much  people  of  tba 
Jews  tlierefore  knew  that  be  waa 
there:  and  they  came  not  for 
Jesus'  sake  only,  but  that  they 
mlgiit  see  La^irus  also,  whom 
he  had  raised  from  the  dead. 

Som.  vill,  19-28.  For  the  earnest 
expectation  of  tbe  creature  walt- 
eth  for  the  manltestatlon  of  the 
sons  of  God.  For  the  creature 
was  made  subject  to  vanity,  not 
willingly,  but  by  reason  of  bhn 
who  hath  subjected  the  same  In 
hope;  Because  the  creature  Itself 
also  shall  be  delivered  from  the 
bondage  of-  oorruptlon  into  the 
glorious  liberty  of  the  children  of 
God.  For  we  know  that  the 
whole  creation  groaueth  and  tra- 
Taileth  in  pain  together  until  now: 
And  not  only  they,  but  ourselves 
also,  which  have  the  flrst-fruiu  of 
the  Spirit,  even  we  ourselves 
groan  within  ourselves,  waitinfr 
for  the  adoption,  to  wU,  the  re- 
demption of  our  body.

Matth.  xxii  23-33.  Tbe  same  day 
came  to  him  the  Sadducees^ 
which  say  that  there  is  no  resur- 
rection, and  asked  bUn,  Saying, 
Master,  Moses  said.  If  a  man  die, 
having  no  children,  his  brother 
shall  marry  his  wife,  and  raise  up 
seed  unto  his  brother.  Now 
there  were  with  us  seven  breth- 
ren: and  tbe  first,  when  be  had 
married  a  wife,  deceased,  and, 
having  no  issue,  left  bis  wife  unto 
his  brotben  Likewise  the  second 
also,  and  the  third,  unto  the 
seventh.  And  last  of  all  the 
woman  died  also.  Therefore,  hi 
the  resurrection,  whose  wife 
shall  she  be  of  the  seven? 
for  they  all  had  her.  Jesus  an- 
swered and  said  unto  them.  Ye  do 
err,  not  knowing  the  scriptures, 
nor  the  power  of  God.  For  in  the 
resurrection  they  neither  marry 
nor  are  given  In  marriage,  but 
are  as  the  angels  of  God  in 
Iieaven.  But  ss  toucbhig  the 
resurrection  of  the  dead,  have 
ye  not  read  that  which  was

image,  and  over  his  mark,  and 
over  the  number  of  his  name, 
stand  on  the  sea  of  s^ass,  having 
the  harps  of  God. 

Beo,  xxl,  1, 12-21, 24-27.  And  I 
saw  a  new  heaven  and  a  new 
earth:  for  the  first  heaven  and  the 
first  earth  were  passed  away:  and 
there  was  no  more  sea.  Ana  had 
a  wall  great  and  high,  and  had 
twelve  gates,  and  at  the  gates 
twelve  angels,  and  names  written 
thereon,  which  are  the  names  of 
the  twelve  tribes  of  the  children 
of  Israel.  Od  the  oast,  three  gates; 
on  the  north,  three  gates;  on  the 
south,  three  gates;  and  on  the 
west,  three  gates.  And  the  wall 
420 


of  the  dty  had  twelve  fotindatlons, 
and  in  them  the  names  of  th« 
twelve  apostles  of  the  Lamb.  And 
he  that  talked  with  me  had  % 
golden  reed  to  measure  the  dty, 
and  the  gates  thereof,  snd  the 
wall  thereof.  And  the  dty  lieth 
four-square,  and  the  length  is  as 
large  as  the  breadth.  And  he 
measured  the  city  with  the  reed, 
twelve  thousand  furlongs.  The 
length,  and  the  breadth,  and  the 
height  of  it  are  equal.  And  ho 
measured  the  wall  thereof,  an 
hundred  cmd  forty  and  four  cubits, 
according  to  the  measure  of  a 
man.  that  is,  of  the  angel.  And 
the  building  of  the  wall  of  it  was 
ctf  Jasper;  and  the  dty  vxis  pure 
gold,  like  unto  clear  glass.  And 
the  foundations  of  the  wall  of  the 
dty  were  garnished  with  all  man- 
ner of  precious  stones.  The  first 
foundation  vxis  jasper ;  the  second, 
sapphire;  the  third,  a  chalcedony; 
the  fourth,  an  emerald;  The  fifth, 
sardonyx;  the  sixth,  sardlus;  the 
seventh,  ohrysolite;  the  eighth, 
beryl;  the  ninth,  a  topaz;  the  tenth, 
a  chrysoprasu^  the  eleventh,  a 
Jacinth;  the  twelfth,  an  amethyst. 
And  the  twelve  gates  tcere  twelve 
pearls;  every  several  gate  was  of 
one  pearl:  and  the  street  of  the 
city  teas  pure  gold,  as  It  were 
transparent  glass.  And  the  na- 
tions of  them  which  are  saved 
shall  walk  in  the  light  of  it:  and 
the  kings  of  the  earth  do  bring 
their  glory  and  honour  Into  It. 
And  the  gates  of  It  shall  not  be 
shot  at  all  by  day:  for  there  shall 
be  no  night  there.  And  they  shall 
bring  the  glory  and  honour  of  «h« 
nations  into  it.  And  there  shall 
in  no  wise  enter  into  it  any  thing 
that  defiieth,  neither  whatsoever 
worketb  abomination,  or  maktth 
a  lie;  but  they  which  are  written 
in  the  Lamb's  book  of  iile.

I  contended  with  Uiem,  and 
onrsed  tliem.  and  smoto  certain  of 
them,  and  plucked  oflf  their  hair, 
and  made  them  swear  by  God, 
saying,  Ye  shall  not  give  your 
daughters  unto  their  sons,  nor 
take  thelp  daughters  unto  your

And  the  spirit  of  jealousy  come

and  if  tiiou  be  defiled,  and  some

shall  say  unto  the  woman.  The 
Lord  make  thee  a  curse  and  an 
oath  among  thy  people,  when  the 
Loan  doth  make  thy  thigh  to  rot, 
and  thy  belly  to  swelh  And  this

go  into  thy  bowels,  to  make  thy 
belly  to  swell,  and  thy  thigh  to

Amen,  amen.  And  the  priest  shall 
write  these  curses  in  a  book,  and 
he  shall  blot  them  out  with  tho 
bitter  water ;  And  he  shall  cause 
(ho  woman  to  drink  the  bitter 
water  that  causeth  the  curse: 
and  the  water  that  causeth 
the  curse  shall  enter  into  her, 
and  Ikcome  bitter.  Then  tlie 
priest  shall  take  the  Jealousy 
offering  out  of  the  woman's 
band,  and  shall  wave  the  offering 
before  the  Lord,  and  offer  It  upon 
the  altar.  And  the  priest  shall 
take  an  handful  of  the  offering, 
even  the  memorial  thereof,  and 
bum  it  upon  the  altar,  and  after- 
ward shall  cause  the  woman  to 
drink  the  water.  And  when  he 
bath  made  her  to  drink  the  water, 
then  11  shall  come  to  pass,  that,  if 
she  be  defiled,  and  have  done 
trespass  against  her  husband,  that 
the  water  that  causeth  the  curse 
shall  enter  into  her,  and  become 
bitter,  and  her  belly  shull  swell, 
and  her  thigh  shall  rot:  and  the 
woman  shall  be  a  curse  among 
her  people.  And  If  the  woman  be 
not  defiled,  but  be  clean;  then 
she  shall  be  free,  and  shall  con- 
ceive seed.  This  is  the  law  of 
Jealousies,  when  a  wife  goeth 
aside  to  another  instead  of  her 
husband,  and  Is  defiled;  Or  when 
tlie  spirit  of  Jealousy  cumeth  upon 
him,  and  he  be  Jealous  over  his 
wife,  and  shall  set  the  woman  be- 
fore the  Lord,  and  the  priest  shall 
execute  upon  her  all  this  law. 
Then  shall  the  man  be  guiltless 
from  iniquity,  and  this  woman 
shall  bear  hor  Iniquity.

behold,  ho  is  to  thee  a  covering  of 
tho  eyes,  unto  all  that  are  with 
thee,  and  with  all  otfier:  thus  she 
was  reproved. 

Gen.  xxxix,  11, 12.  And  it  came

his  garment,  saying.  Lie  with  me: 
and  he  lea  his  garment  in  hor 
hand,  and  flod,  and  got  him  out

Prov.  T,  8.  For  the  lips  of  a 
Slraiiffe  woman  drop  a»  an  honey-

Prov.  vl,  25.  Lust  not  after  her

Prov,  xxill,  28.  She  also  lieth  in

Eztk.  xxlll.  14,  16,  19-21.  And 
that  she  Increased  Ler  whore-

portrayed  upon  the  wall,  the 
Images  of  tlie  Chaldeans  pour- 
trayed  with  ▼ermilllon,  And  as 
soon  08  she  saw  thorn  with  her  eyes, 
•  site  doted  upon  tlieni,  and  sent 
messengers  unto  them  Into  Chal- 
dt!a.  Yet  she  multiplied  her 
wlioredoms,  In  calling  to  remem- 
brance the  days  of  her  youth, 
wiif  rein  she  had  played  the  harlot 
In  tlie  land  of  Egypt.  For  she 
dotejuponthplrparamours,  whose 
ili'sh  is  as  the  flesh  of  asses,  and 
wiiuse  is»ue  is  like  the  issue  of 
horses.  Thus  thou  calleddt  to  re- 
membrance the  lewdness  of  thy 
yuutii,  in  bruising  thy  teats  by  the 
Egyptians  for  the  papB  of  thy 
youth. 

Ilatth.  V,  28.  But  I  say  unto  you, 
That  whosoever  looketh  on  a

EpK  Ir,  19.  Who,  being  past

Janus  r,li.  Ye  have  lived  In

Wanton;  ye  have  nourished  your

1  Peter  Iv,  s,  4.  For  the  time 
past  of  our  life  may  sufflce  us  to 
have  wrought  the  will  of  the 
Geuilles,  when  we  walked  in 
lascivlousncs'),  lusts,  excess  of 
wine,  revelliugs.  banqoetlngs,  and 
abominable  ldolalrle&  Wherein 
thoy  think  it  strange  that  ye  run

call  understanding  thy  kins- 
woman: That  they  may  keep 
thee  from  the  strange  woman, 
from  the  stranger  V3hich  flattereth

dow of  my  house  I  looked  through 
my  casement,  And  beheld  among 
the  simple  ones,  I  discerned 
among  the  youths,  a  young  man 
Void  of  understanding,  Passing 
through  the  street  near  her  cor-

house.  In  the  twilight.  In  the

many  wounded;  yea,  many  strong 
men  have  been  sUUn  by  her.

And,  behold,  one  of  the  children  of

Now  the  name  of  the  Israelite

xxUl,  a,  8,7,8,  11-18,  17, 
85.  Son  of  man,  there  were  two 
women,  tbe  daoghters  of  one 
mother:  And  they  committed 
whoredoms  in  Egypt;  they  com- 
mitted whoredoms  In  tbelr  youth: 
there  were  their  breasts  pressed, 
and  there  they  bruised  the  teats 
of  their  virginity.  Thus  she 
commuted  ber  whoredoms  with 
them,  with  aU  them  thiU  were  the 
chosen  men  of  Assyria,  and  with 
all  on  whom  she  doleo:  wlih  all 
their  idols  she  defiled  herself. 
Neither  left  she  her  whoredoms 
brought  firom  Egypt:  for  in  ber 
youth  they  lay  with  her,  and  they 
bruised  tbe  breasU  of  her  vhrgin- 
ity,  and  poured  their  whoredom 
upon  ber.  And  when  ber  sister 
Ahollbah  saw  tMs.  she  was  more 
corrupt  in  her  inordinate  love 
than  she,  and  in  her  whoredoms 
more  than  ber  sister  in  her  whore- 
doms. She  doted  upon  the  As- 
syrians her  neighbours,  captains 
and  rulers  clothed  most  gorge- 
ously, horsemen  rldtaig  upon 
horses,  all  of  them  desirable 
young  men.  Then  I  saw  that  she 
was  defiled,  that  they  took  both 
one  way.  And  the  Babylonians 
came  to  her  into  the  bed  of  love, 
and  they  defiled  her  with  their 
whoredom;  and  she  was  polluted 
with  them,  and  her  mind  was 
alienated  fh>m  them.  Therefore 
thus  saith  the  Lord  Gon,  Because 
thou  bast  forgotten  me,  and  cast 
me  behind  thy  back,  therefore 
bear  thou  also  thy  lewdness  and 
thy  whoredoms.

Come  hither,  I  wilt  shew  unto 
thee  the  Judgment  of  the  great

So  he  carried  me  away  in  the 
spirit  into  the  wilderness:  ancT  I 
saw  a  woman  sit  upon  a  scarlet- 
coloured  beast,  fbll  of  names  of 
blasphemy,  having  seven  beads 
and  ten  horns.  And  the  woman 
was  arrayed  in  purple  and  scarlet 
colour,  and  decked  with  gold,  and 
precious  stones,  and  pearls,  having 
a  golden  cup  in  her  hand  fbll  of 
abominations  and  flitbiness  of  her 
fornication:  And  upon  her  fore- 
bead  toos  a  name  written,  MYS- 
TERY, BABYLON  THE  GREAT, 
THE  MOTHER  OP  HARLOTS 
AND  ABOMINATIONS  OF  Tll^ 
EARTH.  And  he  salili  unto  me, 
The  waters  which  thoo  sawest, 
where  the  whore  slttelh,  are  peo- 
ples, and  molUtodes,  and  nations^ 
and  tongaes.  And  the  ten  horns 
which  thou  sawest  ui>on  the  beastw 
these  shall  hate  the  whore,  and 
shall  make  her  desolate  and

Without  flither,  wlthont  mother,

priests  also,  which  come  near  to 
the  LoBD,  sanctify  tliemseWes, 
lest  the  LoBo  break  forth  npon

JExod.  zxtUl,  1.  And  Uke  then 
nnto  thee  Aaron  thy  brother,  and 
his  sons  with  him,  flrom  among 
the  children  of  Israel,  that  he  may 
minister  unto  me  in  the  priest's 
office,  even  Aaron,  Nadab  and 
Ablhn.  Eieasar  and  Ithamar, 
Aaron's  soiia. 

BoDod.  xxlx.  as.  And  thns  sbalt 
then  do  unto  Aaron,  and  to  his 
sons,  according  to  all  thing$  which 
I  hare  commanded  thee:  seven 
days  Shalt  thon  consecrate  them. 

Lev.  vlli,  2-^,  83-aa  Take  Aaron 
and  his  sons  with  him,  and  the 
garments,  and  the  anointing  oil, 
and  a  bollock  for  the  sln^fferlng, 
and  two  rams,  and  a  basket  of 
unleavened  bread;  And  gather 
thou  all  the  congregation  together 
unto  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation.  And  Moses 
did  as  the  Loan  comnmnded  him: 
and  the  assembly  was  gatherad 
together  unto  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 
And  Moses  said  unto  the  oongre> 
gaUon,  This  fs  the  thing  which 
the  LOBD  commanded  to  be  done. 


And  Moses  brought  Aaron  and  his 
sons,  and  washed  them  with  water. 
And  ye  shaD  not  go  out  of  the  door 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion  in  seven  days.  untU  the  days 
of  your  consecration  be  at  an 
end:  for  seven  days  shall  he  con- 
secrate you.  As  he  hath  done 
this  dav,  80  the  Lord  hath  com- 
manded to  do,  to  make  an  atone- 
ment for  you.  Therefore  shall  ye 
abide  at  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation  day  and 
night  seven  days,  and  keep  the 
charge  of  the  Loan,  that  ye  die 
not:  for  so  I  am  commanded.  So 
Aaron  and  his  sons  did  all  things 
which  the  Lobd  conmianded  by 
the  hand  of  Moses. 

£ee.xxl,6.  They  shall  be  holy 
unto  their  Ood.  and  not  profane 
the  name  of  their  Ood:  for  the 
offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by  fire, 
and  the  bread  of  their  Ood,  they 
do  offer;  therefore  they  shall  be 
holy. 

M<»i.ttl,10,88.  And  thou  Shalt 
appoint  Aaron  and  his  sons,  and 
they  shall  wait  on  their  priest's 
office:  and  the  strantrer  that 
Cometh  nigh  shall  be  put  to  death. 
Bat  those  that  encamp  before  the 
tabemade  toward  the  east,  even 
before  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation eastward,  shail  be 
Moses,  and  Aaron  and  his  sons, 
keeping  the  charge  of  the  sanc- 
tuary, for  the  charge  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israek  and  the  stranger 
thatoometh  nigh  shaUbeputto 


Ifum,  xtU,  7.  Therefore  thou 
and  thy  sons  with  thee  shall  keep 
your  priest's  office  for  every  thing 
of  the  altar,  and  within  the  vaU; 
•and  ye  shall  serve :  1  have  given 
yous  priest's  office  tmfo  pou  om  a 
servloe  of  gift;  and  the  stranger 
that  Cometh  nlgb  shall  be  put  to 
death. 

fl  Okron,  Tzvl,  16-ia  But  when 
be  [Uzslah]  was  strong,  his  heart 
was  lifted  up  to  Ais  destruction: 
for  he  transgressed  against  the 
Lobd  his  Ood,  and  went  Into  the 
temple  of  the  Loan  to  burn  In- 
cense upon  the  altar  of  Incense. 
And  Azariah  the  priest  went  hi 
after  him,  and  with  htm  fourscore 
prlesU  of  the  Loan,  that  were  val- 
iant men;  And  they  withstood 
Uxdah  the  king,  and  said  unto 
hlm^  Jl  atpertainitk  not  imto 


thee,  Uctlah,  to  bum  tnoense  unto 
the  Lobd,  but  to  the  priests  the 
sons  of  Aaron,  that  are  conse- 
crated to  bum  Incense:  go  out  of 
the  sanctuary ;  for  thou  hast  tres- 
passed: neither  shaUU  be  for  thhie 
honour  from  the  LoBp  Ood. 

fl  C9lrofi.  zxxv,  10.  So  the  8ei<- 
vice  was  prepared,  and  the  priests 
stood  in  their  place,  and  the  Le-

to  the  king's  commandment.

And  these  are  the  names  ot  the

the  sons  of  Aaron,  the  prleets 
which  were  anointed,  whom  he 
consecrated  to  minister  hi  the 
priest's  office.  And  Nadab  and 
Ablhu  died  before  the  Lobo^  when 
they  offored  stimnge  fire  before

1  Sam.  II.  li-17, 22-24,  29.  Now 
the  sons  of  Eli  were  sons  of  Belial; 
they  knew  not  the  Lord.  And  the 
priest's  custom  with  the  people 
was,  that,  when  any  man  offered 
sacrifice,  the  priest's  serrant  came, 
while  the  flesh  was  In  seething, 
with  a  flesh-hook  of  three  teeth  In 
his  hand:  And  he  struck  U  Into 
the  pan.  or  kettle,  or  caMron,  or 
pot;  all  that  the  flMh-hook

himself.  So  they  did  In  Shiloh 
unto  all  the  Israelites  that  came 
thither.  Also  before  they  burnt 
the  fat,  the  priest's  serrant  came, 
and  said  to  the  man  that  sacri- 
ficed, Give  flesh  to  roast  for  the 
priest;  for  he  will  not  have  todden 
flesh  of  thee,  but  raw.  And  if 
any  man  said  unto  him.  Let  tbem 
not  fail  to  bum  the  tint  preseidly, 
and  then  take  as  much  as  thy  soul 
deslreth;  then  he  would  answer 
him,  Nov;  but  thou  shalt  give  tt 
me  now:  and  If  not,  I  will  take  U 
by  force.  Wherefore  the  sin  of 
the  young  men  was  very  great 
btfore  the  I  .oao;  fior  mflD  abhorred 


the  offering  of  the  Loao.  Now 
Bli  was  very  old,  and  heard  all 
that  his  sons  did  unto  ail  Israel; 
and  how  they  lay  with  the  women 
that  assembled  at  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 
And  he  said  unto  them,  .Why  do 
ye  such  things?  for  I  hear  of  your 
evil  dealings  by  all  this  people. 
Nay,  my  some  for  it  is  no  good 
report  that  I  hear;  ye  make 
the  Lord's  people  to  trangress. 
Wherefore  kick  ye  a^iuy  sacrifice 
and  at  mine  offering,  wliich  I  have 
commanded  in  my  habitation;  and 
honourest  thy  sons  above  me,  to 
make  yourselves  fat  with  the 
chiefest  of  all  the  ofliirings  of 
Israel  my  people?

Ezra  U.  61, 82.  And  of  the  chH- 
dren  of  the  priests:  the  children 
of  Habalah,  the  children  of  Ko£, 
the  children  of  Barsillai;  (which 
took  a  wife  of  the  daughters  of 
Biirzlllal  the  GUeadile,  and  was 
called  after  their  name:)  These 
sought  their  register  among  those 
tliat  were  reckoned  by  genealogy, 
but  they  were  not  found;  there- 
fore were  they,  as  polluted,  put 
fh>m  the  priesthood. 

Keh.  vil,  6L  These  sought  their 
register  amonff  those  that  were 
reckoned  by  genealogy,  but  It  was 
not  found:  therefore  were  they, 
as  polluted,  put  firom  the  priest- 
hood. 

Neh.  zlli,  29,  Remember  thou,  O 
my  God,  because  they  have  defiled 
the  priesthood,  and  the  covenant 
of  the  priesthood,  and  of  the 
Levites. 

Jer.  II,  &  The  priests  said  not. 
Where  is  the  Lord?  and  they  that 
handle  the  law  knew  me  not:  the 
pastors  also  transgressed  against 
me,  and  the  prophets  prophesied 
by  Baal,  and  walked  after  things 
that  do  not  profit. 

Jer.  X,  81.  For  the  pastors  are 
.become  brutish,  and  have  not 
sought  the  Lord:  therefore  they 
shall  not  prosper,  and  all  their 
flocks  shall  be  scattered. 

Jer.  zll,  10,  11.  Many  pastors 
have  destroyed  my  vineyard,  ttiev 
have  trodden  my  portion  under 
foot,  they  have  made  my  pleasant 
portion  a  desolate  wilderness., 
They  have  made  it  desolate,  and 
beina  desolate  It  moumeth  unto 
me;  the  whole  land  Is  made  deso- 
late, because  no  man  layeth  it  to 
heart. 

Xzek.  xxil,  98.  Her  prieets  have 
TloUted  my  law,  and  have  pro- 
faned mine  holy  things:  they  have 
put  no  difference  between  the 
holy  and  profane,  neither  have 
they  shewed  dfference  between 
the  unclean  ana  the  clean,  and 
have  hid  their  eyes  firom  my  sab- 


baths, and  I  am  profaned  amonff 
them. 

Hosea  V,  1.  Hear  ye  this.  O 
priests;  and  hearken,  ye  huuie  of 
Israel;  and  give  ye  ear,  O  hou^^e  of 
.  the  king;  for  Judgment  is  toward 
yon,  because  ye  have  been  p.  snare 
on  Mizpih,  and  a  net  spread 
upon  Tabor. 

JBeph.  ill,  4.  Her  prophets  are 
light  and  titeoheroos  persons :  - 
her    priests  have*   polluted    the 
sanctuary,  they  have  done  vio- 
lence to  the  law. 

MaL  1,8.  A  son  honoureth  his 
father,  and  a  servant  his  masten 
if  then  I  ben  father,  where  is  mine 
honour?  and  It  I  be  a  master,  wliere 
is  my  fear?  soith  the  Lord  of  hosts 
unto  you,  O  priests,  that  despise 
my  name.  And  ye  say,  Wherehi 
have  we  despised  thy  name? 

MaL  II,  a  But  ye  are  departed 
out  of  the  way;  ye  have  caused 
many  Ho  stumble  at  the  law;  ye 
have  corrupted  the  covenant  of 
Levi,  salth  the  LoRt>  of  hosts.

both  ye  and  your  brethren,  that  ye

God  of  Israel  unto  the  place  that  I

ye  did  it  not  at  the  first,  the  Lobd 
our  God  made  a  breadi  upon  us, 
for  that  we  sought  him  not  after 
the  due  order.  So  the  priests  and

they  had  made  a  league  with  them, 
that  thev  heard  that  they  were

not,  because  the  princes  of  the 
congregation  had  sworn  unto 
them  by  the  Lord  God  of  IsraeL 
And  all  the  congregation  mur- 
mured against  the  princes.  But 
all  the  princes  said  unto  all  the 
congregation.  We  have  sworn 
unto  them  by  the  Loao  God  of 
Israel:  now  therefore  we  may  not 
touch  them.  This  we  will  do  to 
them;  we  will  even  let  tbem  live, 
lest  wrath  be  upon  us,  because  of

But  he,  whose  descent  Is  not

here  men  that  die  receive  tithes;

But  the  tithes  of  the  children  of 
Israel,  which  they  offer  as  an

When  ye  take  of  the  children  of 
Israel  the  tithes  which  I  have

ye  receive  of  the  children  of  Is-

And  ye  shall  bear  no  sin  by  rrason

fire,  in  the  day  when  he  presented 
them  to  minister  unto  the  Lord 
in  the  priest's  office;  Which  the 
Loan  commanded  to  be  given 
them  of  the  children  of  Israel,  in  | 
ttie  day  that  he  anointed  them,  bv

of  the  oonsecraiions,  and  of  the

Lev.  Till,  81.  And  Hosea  said 
unto  Aaron  and  to  his  sons,  Boll 
the  flesh  at  the  door  of  the  Ubei^ 
nade  of  the  congregation:  and 
there  eat  it  with  the  bread  that  is 
in  the  basket  of  consecrations,  as 
I  commanded,  saying,  Aaron  and 
his  sons  shall  eat  it. 


Lev.  X,  12-ia  And  Moaes  spake 
unto  Aaron,  and  unto  Eleazarand 
unto  Ithamar,  his  sons  that  were 
left.  Take  the  meat-offering  that 
remalneth  of  the  offerings  of  the 
Lord  made  by  fire,  and  eat  it 
without  leaven  beside  the  aitan 
for  it  is  most  holy.  And  ye  lihall 
eat  it  in  the  holy  place,  because  it 
is  thy  doe,  and  thy  sous'  due,  of 
the  sacriflces  of  the  Loan  made 
by  flre:  for  so  I  am  commanded. 
And  the  wave-breaat  and  heave- 
shoulder  shall  ye  eat  in  a  dean 
pUce;  thou,  and  thy  sons,  and  thy 
daughters  with  thee:  for  they  be 
thy  due,  and  thy  sons'  due,  which 
are  given  out  of  the  sacriflces  of 
peace-offerings  of  the  children  of 
IsraeL  The  heave-shoulder  and 
the  wave-breast  shall  they  bring, 
with  the  offerings  made  by  fire  of 
the  flU,  to  wave  U  for  h  wave- 
offering  before  the  Loan;  and  It 
shall  be  thine,  and  thy  soni^  with 
thee,  by  a  statute  for  ever,  as  the 
Loao  hath  commanded.  And 
Moses  diligentiy  sought  the  goat 
of  the  sin-offering,  and,  behold,  it 
was  burnt:  and  he  was  angry  with 
Eleazar  and  Itiiamar,  the  sons  of 
Aaron  which  were  left  aUve,  say- 
ing. Wherefore  have  ye  not  eaten 
the  sin-offering  in  the  holy  place, 
seeing  it  is  most  holy,  and  Ooa 
hath  given  it  you  to  bear  the  ini- 
quity of  the  congregation,  to  make 
atonement  for  them  before  the 
Loan?  Behold,  the  blood  of  It  was 
not  brought  in  within  the  holy 
place:  ye  should  indeed  have 
eaten  it  hi  the  holy  place,  as  I 
oonunanded.

shall  be  his:  whatsoever  any  man 
giveth  the  priest,  it  shall  be  hla. 

Jfutn.  xviii.  8-11.  And  the  Loao 
spake  unto  Aaron,  Behold,  I  also 
have  given  thee  the  charge  of 
mine  heave-offerings  of  all  the 
hallowed  things  of  the  children  of 
Israel;  unto  thee  have  I  given 
them  by  reason  of  the  anointing, 
and  to  thy  sons,  by  an  ordinance 
for  ever.  This  shall  be  thine  of 
the  most  holy  things,  reserved 
from  the  fire:  every  oblation  of 
theirs,  every  meat-offering  of 
theirs,  and  every  sin-offering  of 
theirs,  and  every  trespass-offering 
of  theirs,  which  they  sliall  render 
unto  me.  shaU  be  most  holy  for 
thee,  and  for  thy  sons.  In  .the 
most  holy  place  shalt  thou  eat  it; 
every  miJe  shall  eat  it:  it  shall  be 
holy  unto  thee.  And  this  is  thine; 
the  heave-offering  of  their  glfl^ 
with  all  the  wave-offerings  of  the 
children  of  Israel:  I  have  given 
them  unto  thee,  and  to  thy  sons^ 
and  to  thy  daughters  wfth  thee, 
by  a  statute  for  ever,  every  one 
that  is  clean  In  thy  house  shall 
eat  of  it. 

Deut.  xviU,  8.  And  this  shall  be 
the  priest's  due  from  the  people, 
from  them  that  offer  a  sacrifice, 
whether  it  be  ox  or  sheep;  and 
they  shall  give  nnto  the  priest 
the  shoulder,  and  the  two  oheeki^ 
and  the  maw.

the  congregation  of  the  children

every  one  whose  heart  stirred 
him  up,  and  every  one  whom  his 
spirit  made  willing,  and  they 
brought  the  Lord's  offerhig  to  the 
work  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation, and  for  all  his  service, 
and  for  the  holy  garments.  The

ing  offering  unto  Uie  Loan  every

that  wrought  all  the  work  of  the 
sanctuary,  came  every  man  from 
hhi  work  which  they  made;  And 
they  spake  unto  Moses,  sayhig. 
The  people  bring  much  more 
than  enough  for  the  service 
of  the  work  which  the  Lobo  com- 
manded  to  make.  And  Moses 
gave  commandment,  and  they 
caused  it  to  be  prtjoiafaned 
throughout  the  camp,  saying,  Let 
neither  man  nor  woman  make 
any  more  work  for  the  offering  of

DEVOTED  THING8. 
Lev.  xxTll,  .8, 8-23, 28. 29.  Speak 
unto  the  oLllJren  of  Israel,  and 
say  unto  them,  When  a  man  shall 
make  a  singular  row,  the  persons 
8haU  be  for  the  Lord  by  thy  esti- 
mation. But  if  he  be  poorer  than 
thy  estimation,  then  he  shall  pre- 
sent himself  before  the  priest,  and 
the  priest  shall  value  him;  accord- 
ing to  his  ability  that  vowed  shall 
the  priest  value  him.  And  ISUbe 
a  beast,  whereof  men  bring  an 
offering  unto  the  Lobd,  all  that 
any  man  givetb  of  such  unto  the 
Louo  shall  be  holy.  He  shall  not 
alter  it,  nor  cliange  It,  a  good  for 
a  bad,  or  a  bad  for  a  good:  and  if 
he  shall  at  all  change  beast  for 
beast,  then  it  and  the  exchange 
tiieroof  sliali  be  holy.  AniilUbe 
any  unclean  beast,  of  which  they 
do  not  offer  a  sacrifice  unto  tU« 
LoBD,  then  he  shall  present  the 
beast  before  the  priest:  And  the 
priest  shall  value  It,  whether  it  be 
good  or  bad:  as  thou  valuest  it, 
who  art  tlie  priest,  so  shall  It  be. 
But  if  he  will  at  all  redeem  It,  then 
he  shall  add  a  fifth  part  thereof 
unto  thy  estimation.  And  when 
a  man  shall  sanctify  his  house  to 
be  holy  unto  the  Lord  then  the 
priest  shall  estimate  it,  whether 
it  be  good  or  bad:  as  the  priost 
shall  estimate  it,  so  shall  It  stand. 
And  if  he  that  sanctified  It  will 
redeem  his  bouse,  then  he  shall 
add  the  fifth  pa:rt  of  the  money  of 
thy  estimation  unto  it,  and  It  shall 
Lo  his.  And  if  a  man  shall  sauo- 
tify  unto  the  Lord  aome  part  of  a 
field  of  his  possession,  then  thy 
estimation  shall  be  according  to 
the  seed  thereof;  an  homer  of 
barley-seed  ihaU  be  valxted  at 
.fifty  shekels  of  silver.  If  he 
sanctify  his  field  from  the  year  of 
Jubilee,  according  to  thy  estima- 
tion it  shall  stand.  But  if  he 
sanctify  his  field  after  the  Jubilee, 
then  the  priest  shall  reckon  unto 
him  the  money  according  to  the 
years  that  remain,  even  unto  the 
year  of  the  Jubilee,  and  it  shall  be 
abated  from  thy  estimation.   And 


HIKISTEBS  OF  RELIGIO»i 

if  he  that  ssncUfled  the  fleM  will 
in  any  wise  redeem  it,  then  he 
shall  add  the  fifth  part  of  the 
money  of  thy  estimation  unto  it, 
and  it  shall  be  assured  to  him. 
And  if  he  wUI  not  redeem  the 
field,  or  If  he  have  sold  the  field 
to  another  man,  it  shall  not  be  re- 
deemed any  more.  But  the  field, 
when  it  goeth  out  In  the  Jubilee, 
shall  be  holy  unto  the  Loao,  as 
a  field  devoted;  the  possession 
thereof  shall  be  the  priest's.  And 
if  a  man  sanctify  unto  the  Loan 
a  field  which  he  liath  bought, 
which  U  not  of  the  fields  of  his 
possession:  Then  the  priest  shall 
reckon  unto  him  the  worth  of  thy 
estimation,  even  unta  the  year  of 
the  Jubilee:  and  he  sliall  give 
thine  estimation  in  that  day,  as  a 
holy  thing  unto  Uie  Lord.  Not- 
withstanding, no  devoted  thing, 
that  a  man  shall  devote  unto  the 
Lord,  of  all  that  he  hath,  both  of 
man  and  beast,  and  of  the  field  of 
his  possession,  shall  be  sold  or 
redeemed:  every  devoted  thing  is 
most  holy  unto  the  Lord.  None 
devoted,  which  shall  be  devoted 
of  men,  shall  be  redeemed;  but 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death.

1  Cor.  tx,  8-5.  Mine  answer  to 
them  that  do  examine  me  is  this; 
Have  we  not  power  to  eat  and  to 
drink?  Have  we  not  power  to

BISHOPS. 

1  3Y^  111, 1-7.  This  Is  a  true 
saying.  If  a  man  desire  the  office 
of  a  bishop,  he  desireth  a  good 
work.  A  bishop  then  must  be 
blameless,  the  husband  of  one 
wife,  vigilant,  sober,  of  good  be- 
haviour, given  to  hospitality,  apt 
to  teach ;  Not  given  to  wine,  no 
striker,  not  greedy  of  filthy  lucre; 
but  patient,  not  a  brawler,  not 
covetous:  One  that  ruleth  well 
bis  own  house,  having  his  chil- 
dren In  subjection  with  all  grav- 
ity; (For  if  a  man  know  not  how 
to  rule  his  own  house,  how  sball 
he  take  care  of  the  church  of 
Ood?)  Not  a  novice,  lest,  being 
lifted  up  with  pride,  he  fall  toto 
the  condemnation  of  the  devil. 
Moreover,  he  must  have  a  good 
report  of  them  which  are  without; 
lest  he  fall  Into  reproach,  and  the 
snare  of  tbe  devil. 

TttusUT-^.  For  a  bishop  must 
be  blameless,  as  the  steward  of 
God;  not  self-willed,  not  soon  an- 
gry, not  given  to  wUio,  no  striker, 
not  given  to  filthy  lucre;  But  a 
lover  of  hospitality,  a  lover  of 
good  men,  sober,  Ju«t,  holy,  tem- 
perate; Holding  fast  the  fiUthfUl 
word  as  he  hath  been  taught,  that 
he  may  be  able  by  sound  doctrine 
both  to  exhort  and  to  convince 
the  gainsayers. 


ELDERS. 

Acts  xiv,  28.   And  when  they 

had  ordained  them  elders  in  every 

church,  and    had  prayed  with 

472 


fiasting,  they  oommendfd  (hem 
to  the  Lord,  on  whom  they  be- 
Ueved. 

AcU  XX,  17.  And  fh)m  Miletus 
he  sent  to  £phe8U8,and  called  the 
elders  of  the  church. 

1  Tim.  V,  17-19.  Let  the  elders 
that  rule  well  be  counted  worthy 
of  double  honour,  espedaliy  they 
who  hibour  in  the  word  and  doc- 
trine. For  the  scripture  saith. 
Thou  Shalt  not  munle  the  ox 
that  treadeth  out  the  com.  And, 
The  labourer  is  worthy  of  his 
reward.  Against  an  elder  re- 
ceive not  an  accusation,  btit  be- 
fore two  or  three  witnesses. 

Titus  1, 6.6.  For  this  cause  left 
I  thee  in  Greto,  that  thou  should- 
est  set  in  order  the  things  that 
are  wanting,  and  ordain  elders  In 
every  city,  as  I  had  appointed 
thee.  If  any  be  blameless,  the 
husband  of  one  wife,  having  faith- 
ful children,  not  accused  of  riot 
or  unruly. 

1  Fet,  T,  1.  The  elders  whldi 
are  among  yon  I  exhort,  who  am 
also  an  elder,  and  a  wltnef>s  of  the 
sufferings  of  Obrist,  and  also  a 
partaker  of  the  glory  that  shall  be 
revealed. 

DEACONS. 
Acts  vi,  1-6.  And  in  those  days 
when  the  number  of  the  disciples 
was  multiplied,  there  arose  a 
murmuring  of  the  Grecians 
against  the  Hebrews,  because 
their  widows  were  neglected  in 
the  daily  ministration.  Then  the 
twelve  called  the  multitude  of  tbe 
disdples  unto  them,  and  said.  It 
is  not  reason  that  we  should  leave 
(he  word  of  God,  and  serve  tobies. 
Wherefore,  brethren,  look  ye  out 
among  you  seven  men  of  honest 
report,  full  of  the  Holy  Ghost  and 
wisdom,  whom  we  may  appoint 
over  this  business.  But  we  will 
give  ourselves  oonthiually  to 
prayer,  and  to  the  ministry  of  tbe 
word.  And  the  saying  pleased 
the  whole  multltudo:  and  they 
chose  Stephen,  a  man  full  of  faith 
and  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  and 
Philip,  and  Prochorus,  and  Ni- 
oanor,  and  Timon,  and  Parmenasi 
and  Nicolas  a  proselyte  of  Antt- 
och. 


1  Tim,  ill,  8-18.  Likewise  must 
the  deacons  be  grave,  not  double 
tongued,  not  given  to  much  wine, 
not  greedy  of  filthy  lucre;  Hold- 
ing tbe  mystery  of  the  faith  In  a 
pure  consdence.  And  let  these 
also  first  be  proved;  then  let  them 
use  tbe  ofllce  of  a  deacon,  being 
/otmd  blameless.  Even  so  must 
Vieir  wives  be  grave,  not  slander- 
ers,  sober,  ftdthfol  m  all  things. 
Let  the  deaoens  be  toe  husbands 
of  one  wife,  ruling  their  children 
and  their  own  houses  well  For 
they  that  have  used  the  office  ot

Who  art  thou,  LordP  And  the 
Lord  said,  I  am  Jesus  whom  thou 
persecutest  It  Is  hard  for  thee 
to  kick  against  the  pricks.  And 
he,  trembUng  and  astonished,

me  to  dof  And  the  Lord  sold 
nnto  him.  Arise,  and  go  into  the 
city,  and  it  shaU  be  told  thee 
what  thou  must  do.  And  the  men 
which  Jonmeyed  with  him  stood 
q;>eechless,  hearing  a  voice,  but 
seeing  no  man.  And  Saul  arose 
from  the  earth;  and  when  his  eyes 
were  opened,  be  saw  no  mam  but 
they  led  hUn  by  the  hand,  and 
brought  him  into  Damascus.  And 
he  was  three  days  without  sights «

Ananias  comUig  in,  and  putting 
Ait  hand  on  him,  that  he  might 
receive  his  sight.  And  Anantas 
went  his  way,  and  entered  into

on  hhn,  said.  Brother  Saul,  the 
Lord,  even  Jesus,  that  appeared 
nnto  thee  in  the  way,  as  thou 
oamest,  bath  sent  me.  that  thou 
mightest  receive  thy  sight,  and  be 
flUed  with  the  Holy  Ghost.  And 
hnmedlately  there  fell  fh)m  his 
eyes  as  it  had  been  scales:  and  he 
reoelved  sight  forthwith,  and 
arose,  and  was  baptized.  And 
after  that  many  days  were  ful-

not  come  to  you.  But  I  will  cimie 
to  yon  shortly,  if  the  Lord  will, 
and  will  know,  not  the  speech  or

had  no  rest  in  my  spirit,  because 
I  found  not  Titus  my  broUien  but. 
taking  my  leave  of  them,  I  went 
from  thence  into  Macedonia, 
r  2  Cor,  X,  7.  Do  Te  look  on  things 
after  the  outward  appearance?  If 
any  man  trust  to  himself  that  he 
is  Christ's,  let  him  of  himseU  think 
this  again,  that,  as  he  is  Christ's, 
even  so  art  we  Christ's.

not  a  whit  behind  the  very  chief-

8  Cor.  xil,  11, 12. 1  am  become  a 
fool  in  glorying:  ye  have  com-

been  commended  of  vou;  for  in 
nothing  am  I  behind  the  very 
chiefest  apostles,  though  I  be  no- 
thing. Truly  the  signs  of  an

in  all  patience,  In  signs,  and  won-

are  not  straitened  In  us,  but  ye  * 
are  straitened  In  yonr  own  bowels. 
Now,  for  a  recompence  in  the 
same.  (I  speak  as  unto  my  chil- 
dren,) be  ye  also  enlarged. 

8e3^or.yli,8,4,12-14.  I  roeak 
not  this  to  condemn  you:  for  I 
haye  said  before,  that  ye  are  In 
our  hearts  to  die  and  live  with 
you.  Great  is  my  boldness  of 
speech  toward  you,  great  is  my 
glorying  of  you:  I  am  filled  with 
comfort,  I  am  exceeding  joyfhl  in 
all  our  tribulation.  Wherefore, 
though  I  wrote  unto  you,  I  did  it 
not  for  his  cause  that  had  done  the 
wrong,  nor  for  his  cause  that 
suffered  wrong,  but  that  our  cere 
for  you  in  the  sight  of  God  might 
appear  unto  you.  Therefore  we 
were  comforted  In  your  comfort; 
yea,  and  exceedingly  the  more 
joyed  we  for  the  Joy  of  Titus,  be- 
cause his  spirit  was  refreshed  by 
you  alL  For  if  I  haye  boasted 
any  thing  to  him  of  you,  lam  not 
ashamed;  but  as  we  spake  all 
things  to  you  in  truth,  oTen  so 
our  boasting,  which  I  made  before 
Titus,  is  found  a  truth. 

8  Cor.  Till,  16, 17.  But  thanks  be 
to  God,  which  put  the  same 
earnest  care  into  ..the  heart  of 
Titus  for  you.  For  indeed  he 
accepted  the  exhortation:  but, 
being  more  forward,  of  his  own 
accord  he  went  unto  yotu

gladly  spend  and  be  spent  for  yon: 
though  tiie  more  abundantly  I 
love  you,  the  less  I  be  loved. 

1  Thess.  H,  8,  17-80.  So,  behig 
affectionately  desiroua  of  you,  we 
were  willing  to  have  imparted 
nnto  you,  not  the  gospel  of  God 
only,  but  also  our  own  souls,  b» 
cause  ye  were  dear  unto  us. 
But  we,  brethren,  being  taken 
from  you  for  a  short  time  in  pre* 
sence,  not  in  heart,  endeavoured, 
the  more  abundantly  to  s^e  your 
face  with  great  desire.  Where- 
fore we  would  have  come  unto 
you  (even  I  Paul)  once  and  again; 
but  Satan  hindered  us.  For  what 
is  our  hope,  or  joy,  or  crown  of 
rejoicing?  are  not  even  ye  In  the

the  sinner  ttom  the  error  of  his

1  Peter  1/2,  Peed  the  flock  of

the  oveviight  thereof,  not  by  con- 
straint but  willingly;  not  for  filthy 
lucre,  out  of  a  ready  mind. 

Jude  22, 23.  And  of  some  have 
compassion,  making  a  difference: 
And  others  save  with  fear,  pulling 
them  out  of  the  fire;  hating  even 
the  garment  spotted  by  the  flesh.

one  for  his  fi^iin,  from  his  quar-

Jer.  T,  80, 81.  A  wonderful  and 
horrible  thing  L^commlltod  in  the 
land;  The  propliets  prophesy 
falsely,  and  the  priests  bear  rule 
by  their  means;  and  my  people 
love  to  have  it  so :  and  what  will 
ye  do  In  the  end  thereof. 

Jer.  vi,  13-15.  For  fh)m  the 
least  of  them  even  unto  the  great- 
est of  them,  every  one  is  given  to 
oovetou!<noss;  and  Irom  tlie  pro-

Peace,  peace;  when  tftere  is  no

they  had  committed  abomination? 
nay,  they  were  not  ut  all  ashamed, 
neither  conld  they  blush;  there- 
fore they  shall  fall  among  them 
that  fall :  at  tlie  time  that  I  visit 
them  they  shall  be  cost  down,  sailh

Jer.  viil.lO,  11.  Therefore  will  I 
give  their  wives  unto  uthers.  and 
thehr  fields  to  them  tiiat  shall  in- 
herit them:  for  every  one,  from 
the  least  even  unto  tiie  greatest.

prophet  even  unto  the  priest, 
every  one  dealeth  falsely.  For 
they  have  healed  the  hurt  of  the 
daughter  of  my  people  slightly, 
saying, Peace, peace;  when  there

Lam.  Iv,  11, 13.  The  Lord  bath 
accomplished  his  fury,  be  haih 

poured  out  his  fierce  anger 

For  the  sins  of  her  pruphets.  and 
the  iniquities  of  her  priests,  that 
have  shed  the  blood  of  the  Ju^t  in 
the  midst  of  her. 

Bosea  iv,  4-6.  Tet  let  no  man 
strive,  nor  reprove  another:  for 
thy  people  are  as  they  thut  strive 
with  the  priest.  Th«refore  shalt 
thoQ  fall  in  the  day,  and  the  pro- 
phet also  shall  fall  with  thee  In 
the  night,  and  I  will  destroy  thy 
mother.  My  people  are  destroyed 
for  lack  of  knowledge:  because 
thou  hast  rejected  knowledge.  I 
wUl  also  reject  thee,  that  thou 
Shalt  be  no  priest  to  me :  seeing 
thou  hast  forgotten  the  law  of 
thy  God,  I  WiU  also  foiget  thy 
children. 

Bosea  vi,  9.  And  as  troops  of 
robbers  wait  for  a  mnn,  so  the 
company  of  priests  murder  in  the 
way  by  consent:  for  they  commit 
lewdness. 

ffosea  ix,  7.  The  days  of  visita- 
tion are  come,  tbe  days  of  recom- 
pence  are  come;  Israel  shall  know 
tt*  the  prophet  is  a  fool,  the  spirit-

Jer.jxni,  1,2,1%  Woe  be  unto 
the  pastors  that  destroy  and  scat-

the  LoBD.  Therefore  thns  saith 
the  Lord  God  of  Israel  against 
the  pastors  that  feed  my  people. 
Ye  have  scattered  my  nock,  and 
driven  tbem  away,  and  have  not 
visited  them ;  behold,  I  wiU  visit 
npon  yon  the  evil  of  yonr  doings, 
saith  the  Lord.  Wherefore  their

pery toays  in  the  darkness ;  they 
shall  be  driven  on.  and  fail  there- 
in: Tor  I  will  bring  evil  upon  them, 
even  the  year  of  thehr  vlsltaUon, 
saith  the  Lord. 

Jer.  XXV.  86, 88.  And  the  shep- 
herds shall  have  no  way  to  flee, 
nor  the  principal  of  the  flock  to

was  come  to  Jerusalem,  he  assa^ 
ed  to  Join  himself  to  the  disciples: 
but  they  were  all  afraid  of  him, 
and  believed  not  that  he  was  a 
disciple.  But  Barnabas  took  him, 
and  Drought  Mm  to  the  apostles, 
and  declared  unto  them  bow  he 
had  seen  the  Lord  In  the  way, 
and  that  he  had  spoken  to  him, 
and  how  he  bad  preached  boldly 
at  Damascus  In  the  name  of 
Jesus. 

1  Cor,  HI,  8-6.  For  ye  are  yet. 
carnal:  for  wliereas  there  is  among 
yon  envying,  and  strife,  and  divi- 
sions,  are  ye  not  carnal,  and  walk 
as  menf  For  while  one  saith,  I 
am  of  Paul ;  and  another,  I  am 
of  Apoilos;  are  ye  not  carnal? 
Who  then  Is  Paul,  and  who  is 
ApoUos,  but  ministers  by  whom 
ye  believed,  even  as  the  Lord 
gave  to  every  man? 

9  Co**.  V,  IS.  For  we  commend 
not  ourselves  again  unto  you,  but 
give  yon  occasion  to  glory  on 
our  behalf,  that  ye  may  have 
somewhat  to  aruwer  tbem  which 
glory  in  appearance,  and  not  in 
heart. 

2  Oor.  T,  12-10.  For  we  dare  not 
make  ourselves  of  the  number,  or 
compare  ourselves  with  some  that 
commend  themselves:  but  they, 
measuring  themselves  by  them- 
selves, and  comparing  themselves 
among  themselves,  are  not  wise. 
Bui  we  will  not  boast  of  things 
without  our  measure,  but  accord- 
ing to  the  measure  of  the  rule 
which  God  hath  distributed  to  us, 
a  measure  to  reach  even  unto  you. 
For  we  stretch  not  ourselves  be- 
yond our  measure,  as  though  we 
reached  not  unto  you ;  for  we  are 
come  as  Car  as  to  you  also  in 
preaching  tbe  gospel  of  Christ: 
Not  boasting  of  things  without 
OUT  measure,  thai  is,  of  other 
men's  lab<»urs;  but  having  hope, 
when  your  faith  is  Increased,  that 
we  shaU  be  enlarged  by  yon  ac- 
cording to  our  role  abundantly. 
To  prea(^  the  gospel  In  the  re- 
gions beyond  yon,  and  not  to 
boast  in  another  man's  line  of 
things  made  ready  to  •ur  hand. 

2  G<yr.  xl,  12, 18.  But  what  I  do. 
that  I  will  do,  that  I  may  cut  off 
occasion  from  them  which  desire 
occasioD;  that  wherein  they  glory, 
they  may  be  found  even  as  w^ 
For  such  are  false  apostles,  de- 
ceitful workers,  transforming 
themselvei  into  the  apostles  of 
Christ. 

PhfL  L  15-19.  Some  Indeed 
preach  Christ  even  of  envy  and 
strife;  and  some  also  of  good  wIlL 
The  one  preach  Christ  of  conten- 
tion, not  sincerely,  supposing  to 
add  affliction  to  my  bonds:  But 
the  other  of  love,  knowing  that  I 
am  set  for  tlie  defence  of  tbe  gos- 
pel What  then?  notwithstanding, 
•very  way,  whether  In  pretence^ 
478 


or  In  truth,  Christ  Is  preached: 
and  I  therein  do  r^oioe,  yea,  ana 
win  rejoice.  For  I  know  that 
this  shall  turn  to  my  salvation 
through  your  prayer,  and  the 
supply  of  the  Spirit  of  Jeboa 
Christ.

Acts  XT,  86-40.  And  some  days 
after  Paul  said  unto  Barnabas,  Iiet 
us  go  again  and  visit  our  brethren 
In  every  city  where  we  have 
preadied  the  word  of  tbe  Lord^ 
and  see  bow  they  do.  And  Baiw 
nabas  determined  to  take  with 
them  John,  whose  surname  was 
Mark.  But  Paul  thought  not 
good  to  take  him  with  them,  who 
departed  from  them  from  Pam- 
phyUa,and  went  not  with  them 
to  the  work.  And  tbe  contention 
was  so  sharp  between  tbem,  that 
they  departed  asunder  one  tttm. 
the  other:  and  so  Barnabas  took 
Mark,  and  sailed  onto  Cyprus; 
And  Paul  chose  Silas,  and  de- 
parted, being  recommended  by 
the  brethren  unto  the  grace  of 
God.

8  John  9, 10.  I  wrote  unto  the

among  them,  recelveth  us  not. 
Wherefore,  if  I  come,  I  will  re- 
meml)er  bis  deeds  wtiich  be  do- 
eth,  prating  against  us  with  mali- 
cious words:  and  not  content 
therewith,  neither  doth  he  himself 
receive  the  brethren,  and  forbid- 
delh  them  that  would,  and  casteth 
them  ont  of  the  church.'

2  Oor.  W,  17.  For  we  are  not  u

thou  oughtest  to  do.  Then  Peter 
went  down  to  the  men  which 
were  sent  nnto  him  from  Cor- 
nelius, and  said.  Behold,  I  am  he 
whom  ye  seek:  what  is  the  cause 
wherefore  ye  are  come?  And 
they  said,  Cornelius  the  centurion, 
a  Just  man,  and  one  that  feareth 
God,  and  of  good  report  among 
aU  the  nation  of  the  Jews,  was 
warned  from  God  by  an  holy 
angel  to  send,  for  thee  into  his 
house,  and  to  hear  words  of  thee. 
Then  called  he  them  In,  and

Only  In  the  land  of  Goshen,  where 
the  children  of  Israel  were,  was 
there  no  hall.  And  Pharaoh  sent, 
and  called  for  Moses  and  Aaron, 
and  said  unto  them,  I  have  sinned

land  an  tbftt  day,  and  all  that 
night;  and%fhen  it  was  morning, 
ttie  east  wind  brought  the  locusU. 
And  the  locusts  went  up  over  all 
the  land  of  Egypt^  and  rested  in 
all  the  coasts  of  Egypt:  yery 
grlevooB  toere  thev;  before  them 
there  were  no  such  locusts  as 
they,  neither  after  them  shall  be 
such.  For  they  covered  the  face 
of  the  whole  earth,  so  that  the 
land  was  darkened;  and  they  did 
eat  every  herb  of  the  land,  and  all 
the  fruit  of  the  jtrees  which  the 
bail  had  left:  and  there  remained 
not  any  green  thing  In  the  trees, 
or  in  the  herbs  of  the  field, 
through  all  the  land  of  Egypt. 
Then  Pharaoh  called  for  Moses 
and  Aaron  In  haste;  and  he  sald^ 
I  have  sinned  against  the  Lord 
your  Qod,  and  against  yon.  Now 
tlierefore  forgive,  1  pray  thee,  my 
sin  only  this  once,  and  entreat  the 
Loan  your  God,  that  he  may  taiie 
away  from  me  this  death  only. 
And  he  went  out  -fktim  Pharaoh, 
and  entreated  the  Loan.  And  the 
Loao  turned  a  mighty  strong  west 
wind,  which  took  away  the  lo- 
custs, and  cast  them  Into  the  Red 
Beo;  there  remained  not  one  lo- 
oust  in  all  the  coasts  of  Egypt. 
But  the  Loan  hardened  Pharaoh's 
heart,  so  that  he  would  not  let  the 
children  of  Israel  go.

Bxod.  X,  21-23.  And  the  Loan 
said  unto  Moses.  Stretch  out  thine 
hand  toward  heaven,  that  there 
may  be  darkness  over  the  land  of 
Egypt,  even  darkness  which  may 
be  felt.  And  Moses  stretched 
forth  his  hand  toward  heaven; 
and  there  was  a  thick  darkness  in 
all  the  land  of  Egypt  three  days: 
They  saw  not  one  another  neither 
rose  any  from  his  place  for  tliree 
days:  but  all  the  children  of  Israel 
had  light  in  their  dwellings.

Exod.  xl,  4-6.  And  Moses  said. 
Thus  salth  the  Loao,  About  mid- 
night will  I  go  out  into  the  midst 
of  Egypt:  And  all  the  flrst-born  in 
the  land  of  Egypt  shall  die,  from 
the  first-born  of  Pharaoh  that 
sltteth  upon  his  throne,  even  uhto 
the  flrst'bom  of  the  maid-servant 
that  is  behind  the  mill;  and  all  the 
flr^t-bom  of  beasts.  And  there 
sijall  be  a  great  cry  throughout  all 
the  land  of  Egypt,  such  as  tliere 
was  none  like  it,  nor  shall  be  like 
It  any  more. 

Exod.  xli,  S8-80.  And  the  dill- 
dren  of  Israel  went  away,  and  did 
as  the  Loan  hod  commanded 
Moses  and  Aaron,  so  did  they. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  that  at  mid- 
night the  Lonn  smote  all  the  first- 
born in  the  land  of  Egypt,  from 
the  first-born  of  Pharaoh  that  sat

and  all  the  Egyptians;  and  there 
was  a  great  cry  In  Egypt:  for  there 
was  not  a  house  where  there  teas 
not  one  dead. 

Neh,  ix,  10.  And  showedst  signs

behind  them;  and  the  pilter  of  the 
cloud  went  from  before  their  face, 
and  stood  behind  themi  And  it 
came  between  the  camp  of  the 
Egyptians  and  the  camp  of  Israel;

Exod.  xl,  84 -Sa  Then  a  doud 
covered  the  tent  of  the  congTega*>

taken  up  from  over  the  taberna-

onward  in  aU  their  Journeys:  But 
if  the  doud  were  not  taken  up, 
then  they  Journeyed  not  till  the

^  Num,  Ix,  15-23.  And  on  the  day 
that  the  tabernacle  was  reared  up, 
the  cloud  covered  the  tabernacle, 
namelw,  the  tent  of  the  testimony: 
and  at  even  there  was  upon  the 
tabernacle  as  It  were  the  appear- 
ance of  fire,  until  the  morning. 
So  it  wasalway:  tbe  cloud  covered 
it  tfj/  day,  and  the  appearaAce  of 
fire  by  night.  And  when  the 
cloud  was  uken  up  from  the  ti^ 
bemacle,  then  after  that  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  Journeyed:  and  in 
the  place  where  the  cloud  abode^ 
tbire  the  children  of  Israel  pitch- 
ed their  tents.  At  the  command- 
ment of  the  Lord  the  children  of 
Israel  Journeyed,  and  at  the  conv 
mandmentot  the  Loao  they  pitch- 
ed: as  long  as  the  cloud  abode 
upon  tlio  tubemacle  they  rested 
iu  their  tents.  And  »hen  the 
cloud  tarried  long  upon  the  taber- 
nade  many  days,  then  the  children 
of  Israel  kept  the  charge  of  the 
Lord,  and  Journeyed  not..  And  so 
it  was,  when  the  cloud  was  a  few 
days  upon  the  tabernacle;  accord* 
ing  to  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  they  abode  in  their  tents, 
and  according  to  the  command-

And  so  it  was,  when  the  doud 
abode  from  even  unto  the  morup 
Ing,  and  that  the  doud  was  taken 
up  hi  the  morning,  then  they  Joun 
neyed:  whether  it  was  by  day  or 
by  night  that  the  cloud  was  taken 
up,  they  Journeyed.  Or  whether 
it  were  two  days,  or  a  month,  or  a 
year,  that  the  doud  tarried  upon 
the  taboinade,  remaining  thereon, 
the  children  of  Israel  abode  in 
their  tents,  and  Journeyed  not: 
but  when  it  was  taken  ap,  they 
Journeyed.  At  the  commandment 
of  the  Loao  they  rested  in  their 
tents,  and  at  the  commandment  of 
the  Loan  they  Journeyed:  they 
kept  the  charge  of  the  Lord,  at 
the  commandment  of  the  Loao  by

was.  And  Muses  said  unto  them. 
This  i$  the  bread  which  the  Loan 
hath  given  yon  to  eat.  And  Moses 
said.  Let  no  man  leave  of  it  till 
the  morning.  And  they  gathered 
it  every  morning,  every  man  ao- 
cording  to  his  eating;  and  when 
thesnn  waxed  hot,  it  melted.  And 
the  house  of  Israel  called  the  name 
thereof  Manna:  and  it  was  like 
coriander  seed,  white;  and  the 
taste  of  it  vxu  like  wafers  made 
with  honey.  And  the  children  of 
Israel  did  eat  manna  forty  years, 
until  they  came  to  a  land  inhabiu 
ed:  they  did  eat  manna  until  they 
came  unto  the  borders  of  the  land 
of  Canaan. 

Joaliua  T.  13.  And  the  manna 
ceased  on  the  morrow  after  they 
had  eaten  of  the  old  com  of  the 
land ;  neither  had  the  children  of 
Israel  manna  any  more;  but  they 
did  eat  of  the  fruit  of  the  land  of 
Canaan  that  year. 

Dtut.  vlll,  8, 16.  And  he  humbled 
thee,  and  sulTered  thee  to  hunger, 
and  fed  thee  with  manna,  which 
thou  knewest  not,  neither  did  thy 
fathers  know;  that  he  might  make 
thee  know  that  man  doth  not  live 
by  bread  only,  but  by  every  word 
that  proceedvth  out  of  the  mouth 
of  the  Loan  doth  man  live.  Who 
fed  thee  in  the  wilderness  with 
manna,  which  thy  fothers  knew 
not.  that  he  might  humble  thee, 
and  that  he  might  prove  thee, 
to  do  thee  good  at  thy  latter 
end. 

Neh.  ix,  SO.  Thou  garest  also 
thy  good  Spirit  to  Instruct  them, 
and  withheldest  not  thy  manna

ing to  their  fathers'  houses,  even

Except  ya  see  signs  and  wonders,

man saith  unto  him.  Sir,  come 
down  ere  my  child  die.  Jesus 
saith  unto  him.  Go  thy  way,  thy

walked:  and  on  the  same  day  was

It  is  the  sabbath-day;  it  is  not  law-

answered  them,  He  that  made  me

Tttke  up  thy  bed,  and  walk?  Then 
asked  they  him.  What  man  is

•ad  no  man  could  bind  him,  no, 
not  with  chains:  Because  that  he 
had  been  often  bound  with  fetters 
and  chains,  and  the  chains  had 
been  plucked  asunder  by  htm, 
and  the  fetters  broken  in  pieces: 
neither  could  any  man  tame  him. 
And  always,  night  and  day,  be 
wasintbb  mountains,  and  in  the 
tombs,  crying,  and  cutting  himself 
with  stones.  •  Bat  when  he  saw 
Jesns  afar  off,  ha  ran  and  wor- 
shipped him.  And  cried  with  aloud 
voice,  and  said.  What  have  1  to  do 
with  thee,  Jesns,  Vtou  Son  of  the 
most  high  God?  I  adjure  thee  by 
God,  that  thon  torment  me  not. 
(For  be  said  nnto  him.  Come  out 
of  the  man,  thou  nnclean  spirit) 
And  he  asked  him.  What  is  thy 
name?  And  he  answered,  saying. 
My  name  is  Leglom  for  we  are 
many.  And  he  besought  JUm 
much  that  he  would  not  send 
them  away  ont  of  the  country. 
Now  there  was  there,  nigh  nnto 
the  mountains,  a  great  herd  of 
swhie  feeding.  And  all  the  devils 
besought  him,  saying.  Send  ns 
into  the  swine,  that  we  may  enter 
into  them.  And  forthwith  Jesus 
gave  them  leave.  And  the  un- 
clean spirits  went  out,  and  entered 
into  the  swine;  and  the  herd  ran 
violently  down  a  steep  place  into 
the  sea,  (they  were  about  two 
thousand,)  and  were  choked  in  the 
sea.  And  they  that  fed  the  swine 
fled,  and  told  it  In  the  city,  and 
in  the  country.  And  they  went 
out  to  see  what  it  was  that  was 
done.  And  they  come  to  Jesns, 
and  see  him  that  was  possessed 
with  the  devil,  and  had  the  legion, 
sitthig,  and  clothed,  and  In  his 
right  mind:  and  they  were  afraid. 
And  they  that  saw  it  told  them 
how  it  befel  to  hbn  that  was 
possessed  with  the  devil,  and  also 
concerning  the  swine.  And  they 
began  to  pray  him  to  depart  out 
of  their  coasts.  And  when  he  was 
come  into  the  ship,  he  that  luid 
been  possessed  with  the  devil 
prayed  him  that  he  might  be 
with  him.  Howbelt  Jesns  suffered 
him  not;  but  saith  nnto  him,  Go 
home  to  thy  fHends,  and  tell  them 
how  great  things  the  Lord  hath 
done  for  thee,  and  hath  had  com- 
passion on  thee.  And  he  de-

And  they  brought  him  nnto  hina:

canst  do  any  thing,  have  com-

said  nnto  hhn.  If  thou  canst  be- 
lieve, all  things  are  possible  to 
him  that  belleveth.  And  straight- 
way the  father  of  the  child  cried 
out,  and  said  with  tears,  Lord.  I

When  Jesus  saw  that  the  people- 
came  running  together,  he  rebuk-

Thou  dumb  and  deaf  n>irlt,  I- 
charge  thee,  come  out  of  him,  and

and  came  out  of  him:  and  he 
was  as  one  dead;  Insomuch  that

John  xl,  14. 16,*18, 26.  S0, 81.  88,

them  plainly,  Lozarus  is  dead. 
And  I  am  glad  for  your  sakes  that 
I  was  not  there,  to  the  Intent  ye 
may  believe;  nevertheless  let  ns 
go  unto  hhn.  (Now  Bethany  was

1  am  the  resurrection,  and  the

though  he  were  dead,  yet  shall  he 
live:  and  whosoever  liveth,  and

they  saw  Mary,  that  she  rose  up 
hastily  and  went  out,  followed 
her,  saying,  She  goelh  unto  the 
grave  to  weep  there.  When  Jesus 
therefore  saw  her  weeping,  and

rose  up  early  on  the  morrow,  and 
thrust  the  fleece  together,  and 
wringed  the  dew  out  of  the  lleeoe, 
a  bowl-fall  of  water.  And  Gideon 
said  unto  God,  Let  not  thine  anger

I  pray  thee,  but  this  once  with  the 
fleece;  let  It  now  be  dry  only  npoo

let  there  be  dew.  And  God  did

he  sprinkled  likewise  with  blood

And  the  undrcmndsed  man-

is  not  drcumdsed,  that  soul  shall 
be  cut  off  from  his  people;  he  hath 
broken  my  covenant. 

Joshua  T,  2.  At  that  time  the

Som.  XT,  a  Now  I  say,  that 
Jesus  Christ  was  a  minister  of  the

Lev.  xxTl,  41, 42.  And  thatlaXw

and  they  then  accept  of  the  pun-

Jacob,and  also  my  covenant  with

Abraham  will  I  remember;  and  I 
will  remember  the  land. 

DeuL  X,  16.  CIrcumdse  there-

Deut.  XXX.  6.  And  the  Loan  thy

Joth,  T,  8-5,  7-8.  And  Joshua 
made  blm  sbarp  knlTes.  and  dr* 
oumdsed  tbe  children  of  Israel  at

this  is  tbe  cause  why  Joshua  did

males,  even  all  tbe  men  of  war, 
died  la  tbe  wilderness  by  tbe  way, 
after  they  came  out  of  Egypt. 
Now  all  the  people  that  came  out 
.were  drcumcised;  but  all  tbe 
people  that  were  bom  In  tbe  wil- 
derness by  the  way  as  they  came

Aete  XT,  1,  2,  6.  6,  10, 24.  And 
certain  men,  which  came  down 
from  Judea,  taught  tbe  brethren, 
and  taid,  Except  ye  be  drcumds- 
ed after  tbe  manner  of  Moses,  ye 
cannot  be  saved.  When  therefore 
Paul  and  Barnabas  bad  no  small 
dissension  and  disputation  with 
them,  they  determined  that  Paul 
and  Barnabas^  and  certain  other 
of  tbem,  should  go  up  to  Jerusa- 
lem unto  the  aptfstles  and  elders 
about  this  question.  But  there 
rose  up  certain  of  the  sect  of  tbe 
Pharisees  which  believed,  saying, 
That  It  was  needful  to  circumcise 
them,  and  to  00m  maud  them  to 
keep  the  law  of  Moses.  And  the 
apostles  and  elders  came  together 
for  to  ooosider  of  this  matter. 
Now  therefore  why  tempt  ye  God, 
to  put  a  yoke  upon  tbe  neck  of 
the  disdples  which  neither  our 
httbers  nor  we  were  able  to  bearp 
Fomsmuch  as  we  have  beard, 
that  certain  which  went  out  from 
us  have  troubled  you  with  words, 
subverting  your  souls,  saying, 
Ye  must  be  drcamdsed,  and  keep 
the  law;  to  whom  we  gave  no  sum 
commandment. 

Acts  zvi,  8.  Hbn  fTlmothy] 
would  Paul  hare  to  go  forth  wltb 
him;  and  took  and  circumcised 
him  because  of  tbe  Jews  which 
were  hi  those  quarters:  fbr  they 
knew  all  that  his  &ther  was  a 
Greek. 

Eom.  fl,  94-27.  For  the  name  of 
God  is  blasphemed  among  the 
Gentiles  through  you,  as  it  is 
written.  For  circamdsion  rerily 
proflteth,  if  thou  keep  the  Uw: 
but  if  thou  be  a  breaker  of  the 
law,  thy  drcumdslon  Is  made  un- 
circumcision.  Therefore,  If  the 
undroumdslon  keep  the  right- 
eousness of  the  law,  shall  not  bis 
unclrcumdsion  be  counted  for 
droumdsionf  And  shall  not  un- 
drcumcislon  which  is  bynsture, 
if  it  fhlfli  tbe  Uw,  Judge  thee,  who 
by  the  letter  and  clronmdslon 
dost  transgress  the  law? 

Bom,  111,80, 81.  Seeing  U  is  one 
God  which  shall  jusUly  the  dr- 
cumdslon by  faith,  and  undrcum- 
dslon  through  fklth.  Do  we  then 
make  void  the  law  through  fUih? 
God  forbid:  yea,  we  establish  the 
law. 

Bom.  It,  8-12.  ComOh  this 
blessedness  then  upon  the  drcum- 
dslon onlVt  or  upon  the  unclrcum- 
dsion also?  for  we  say  that  fiUth 
was  reckoned  to  Abraham  for 
righteousness.  How  was  it  then 
reckoned?  when  be  was  in  drcum- 
dslon, or  hi  undrcumcisioD?  Not 
In  droumdslon,  but  in  undrcum- 
dslon.  And  he  reodved  the  sign

tbat  be  might  be  tbe  fhther  of  all 
tbem  tbat  believe,  though  they  bo 
not  drcumcised;  tbat  righteous- 
ness might  be  imputed  unto  tbem 
also:  And  tbe  father  of  drcum- 
dslon to  them  who  are  not  of  the 
circumcision  only,  but  who  also 
walk  in  tbe  steps  of  tbat  faith  of 
our  father  Abraham,  which  he  had 
being  yet  undrcumdsed. 

1  Cor.  Til,  18^  19.  Is  any  man 
called  being  drcumdsed?  let  him 
not  become  unclrcuihdsed:  is  any 
called  In  undrcnmcislon?  let  blm 
not  be  drcumdsed.  Ctrcnmdslon 
is  nothing,  and  undroumcision  Is 
notbhig,  but  the  keeping  of  the 
commandments  of  God. 

OoL  11,  8  6.  But  neither  Titus, 
who  was  with  me,  being  a  Greek, 
was  compelled  to  be  drcumcised: 
And  that  because  of  folse  brethren 
unawares  brought  in,  who  came  in 
privily  to  spy  ont  our  Uberty 
which  we  have  in  Christ  Je8U% 
that  they  might  bring  us  Into  bon- 
dage: To  whom  we  gave  place  by 
subjection,  no,  not  fur  an  hour, 
that  tbe  truth  of  the  gospel  migfai 
continue  with  you. 

GaL  ▼,  6-10, 11, 1%  For  hi  Jesns 
Christ  neither  dronmdsion  avall- 
eth  anything,  nor  undrcumdKiun; 
but  faith  which  worketh  by  Iota. 
I  have  confidence  in  yuu  througb 
tbe  Lord,  that  ye  will  be  none 
otherwise  minded:  but  be  that 
troubleth  yon  shall  bear  hia 
Judgment^  whosoerer  be  be.  And 
I,t}rethren,  if  I  yet  preach  droum- 
dslon. why  do  I  yet  suffer  perse- 
cutlpn?  then  is  the  offence  of  the 
cross  ceased.  I  would  they  were 
even  cut  off  which  trouble  you. 

Oal.  vi,  12-16.  As  many  as 
desire  to  make  a  fair  shew  in  the 
flesh,  they  constrain  you  to  be 
drcumdsed;  only  lest  tbey  should 
suffer  persecution  for  tlie  cross  of 
Christ.  For  neither  they  them- 
selves who  are  chcurodsed  keep 
the  law;  but  desire  to  have  yon 
drcuftaclsed,  that  tbey  may  glorj 
In  your  flesh.  For  In  G  hrist  Jesne 
neither  drcumdslon  avalletb  anyw 
thing,  nor  undrcomdsion,  but  m 
new  creature. 

PhU.  Ill,  2,  8.  Beware  of  dogs, 
beware  of  evil  workers,  beware  or 
tbe  condslon.  For  we  are  the 
circumcision,  which  worship  God 
in  the  Spirit^  and  rejoice  in  Christ 
Jesus,  and  have  no  confldenee  In

the  passover,  and  to  offer*burnu

seven  days.  And  there  was  no 
passover  like  to  that  kept  in  Israel 
from  the  days  of  Samuel  the  pro-

Israel  keep  such  a  passover  as 
Joslah  kept,  and  the  prieAts,  and 
the  Levltes,  and  all  Judah  and 
Israel  that  were  present,  and  the 
inhabitants  of  Jerusalem.  In  the

Joslah  was  this  passover  kept. 

Luke  it,  41, 42.  Now  his  parents 
went  to  Jerusalem  every  year  at

they  made  ready  the  passover. 
And  when  the  hour  was  come,  he 
sat  down,  and  the  twelve  ap'Stlea

Ews  Lamb. 
3  &>m.  xil,  1-7.  And  tbe  Loan 
sent  Nathan  unto  David:  and  he 
came  unto  him.  and  said  unto  him, 
Tiiere  were  two  men  in  one  city; 
the  one  rich,  and  the  other  poor. 
The  rich  man  had  exceeding 
many  flocks  and  herds;  But  the 
poor  man  had  nothing,  save  one 
little  ewe  lamb,  which  he  had 
boogb^t  and  noorished  up;  and  it 


grew  up  together  with  him,  and 
with  his  children;  it  did  eat  of  his 
owe  meat,  and  drank  of  his  own 
cap,  and  lay  in  his  bosom,  and  was 
unto  him  as  a  daugliter.  And 
I  here  came  a  traveller  unto  tbe 
rich  man;  and  he  spared  to  take 
of  bis  own  flock,  and  of  his  own 
herd,  to  dress  for  the  wayfiuing 
man  that  was  come  unto  bim;  but 
took  the  poor  man's  lamb,  and 
dressed  it  for  the  man  that  was 
come  to  blm.  And  David's  anger 
was  greatly  kindled  against  tlie 
man;  and  he  sold  to  Nathan,  As 
the  LoBD  liveth,  the  man  that 
hath  done  this  tning  shall  surely 
die:  And  he  shall  n;store  tlie 
lamb  four- fold,  because  he  did 
this  thing,  and  because  he  had  no 
pity.  And  Nathan  said  to  David, 
Thou  art  the  man.  Thus  saltb 
the  LoBD  Ood  of  Israel,  I  anointed 
thee  king  over  Israel,  and  1  dd-

the  king,  and  speak  on  tiiis  man- 
ner  unto  blm.  So  Joab  put  the 
words  in  her  mouth.  And  when 
the  woman  of  Tekoah  spake  to 
the  king,  she  fell  on  her  face  to 
the  ground,  and  did  obeisance,  and 
said.  Help,  O  King!  And  Uie 
king  said  unto,  her.  What  alleth 
the^  And  she  answered,  I  am 
Indeed  a  widow  woman,  and  mine 
husband  Is  dead.  And  thy  hand- 
maid had  two  sons,  and  they 
two  strove  together  in  the  field, 
and  there  was  none  to  part  them, 
but  the  one  smote  tbe  other,  and 
slew  him.  And,  behold,  the  whole 
fiamity  Is  risen  against  thine  hand- 
maid, and  they  said.  Deliver  him 
that  smote  his  brother,  that  we 
may  kiU  hhn,  for  the  Ufe  of  his 
brother  whom  he  slew;  and  we 
will  destroy  the  heir  also:  and  so 
they  shall  quench  mv  ooal  which 
is  left,  and  shall  not  leave  to  my 
husband  neither  name  nor  re- 
mainder upon  the  earth.  And 
the  king  said  unto  the  woman.  Go 
to  thine  house,  and  I  will  give 
charge  concerning  thee.  And 
the  woman  of  Tekoah  said  unto 
the  king,  My  lord,  O  king,  the 
iniquity  be  on  me,  and  on  my 
father's  house:  and  the  king  and 
his  throne  be  guiltless.  And  the 
king  said.  Whosoever  saith  ought 
unto  thee,  bring  blm  to  me.  and 
he  shall  not  touch  thee  any  more. 
Thensaid ihe,  I  pray  thM^  let  tho 
fits 


king  remember  tbe  Lobo  thy  OodT 
that  tliou  wooldest  not  safiTer  tbe 
revengers  of  blood  to  destroy  any 
more,  lest  tbex  destroy  my  son. 
And  be  said.  As  the  Lobo  livetii, 
there  sbuU  not  one  hair  of  Uiy 
son  fall  to  the  earth.  Then  tbe 
woman  said,  Let  thine  handmaid, 
I  pray  tliee,  speak  one  word  unto 
my  lord  the  king.  And  he  said, 
Say  on.  And  the  woman  said 
Wberefore  then  hast  thou  thought 
such  a  thing  agalnat  tbe  people  of 
Ood?  for  tbe  king  doth  speak  this 
thing  as  one  which  is  faulty,  hi 
that  the  king  doth  not  fetch  boms 
again  his  banished.  For  wo  most 
needs  die,  and  are  as  water  spilt 
on  tlie  ground,  wLich  cannot  be 
gathered  up  again,  neillier  doth 
God  respea  any  person;  yet  doih 
he  devise  means  iliat  bis  banished 
be  not  expelled  fbom  him.  Now 
therefore  that  I  am  come  to  speak 
of  tbis  thing  unto  ny  lord  the 
king,  it  is  because  the  people  bave 
made  me  afraid;  and  thy  handmaid 
said,  I  win  now  speak  unto  the 
king;  it  may  be  that-  tbe  king  wlO 
perform  tlie  request  of  bis  hand- 
maid. For  the  kln^m  hear,  to 
deliver  his  handmaid  out  of  tbe 
hand  of  the  man  thqt  would  de- 
stroy me  and -my  son  together  oat 
of  the  inheritance  of  Ood.  Then 
thine  handmaid  said.  The  word  of 
myilord  the  king  shall  now  be 
oomfoitable:  for  as  an  angel  of 
Ood,  so  is  my  lord  the  king,  to 
discern  good  and  bad;  tberetore 
the  Lobo  thy  God  will  be  with 
tliee.  Then  the  king  answered 
and  said  unto  the  woman.  Hide 
not  from  me,  I  pray  thee,  the 
thing  that  I  shall  ask  thee.  And 
the  woman  said.  Let  my  lord 
the  king  now  speak.  And  the 
khig  said.  Is  not  the  hand  of  Joab 
with  thee  in  all  thlis?  And  the 
woman  answered  and  said,  As 
thy  soul  liveth,  my  lord  the  king, 
none  can  turn  to  the  rlgbt  hand 
or  to  the  left  from  ought  thit  my 
lord  the  king  hath  spoiien:  for 
thy  servant  Joab,  he  bade  me,  and 
he  put  all  these  words  In  the 
mouth  of  thine  handmaid:  To 
fetch  about  this  form  of  speech 
hath  thy  servant  Joab  done  this 
thing;  and  my  lord  is  wise,  accord- 
ing 10  the  wisdom  of  an  angel  of

in  the  earth.

her  whelps  among  young  lions. 
And  she  brought  up  one  of  lier

it  devoured  men.  The  nations

CHRISrS  PARABLES. 

Matlh.  xili,  10-13, 84. 85. 53.  And 
the  di'«oiples  came,  and  said  unto 
him.  Why  speakest  thou  unto 
them  in  paraldes?  Ho  answered 
and  said  unto  them.  Because  it  Is 
given  unto  you  to  know  the  mys- 
teries of  the  kingdom  of  heaven, 
but  to  tliem  It  b  not  given.  For 
whosoever  hath,  to  hhn  shall  be 
given,  and  ho  shall  have  more 
abundance;  but  whosoever  hath 
not,  from  him  shall  be  taken 
awoy  even  that  he  hath.  Tiiere- 
fure  speak  I  to  them  in  parables: 
because  they  sneing,  see  not; 
and  hearing,  they  hear  not;  neither 
do  they  understand.  All  the-^e 
things  spake  Jesus  unto  the  mul- 
titude in  parable^  and  without  a 
parable  spuke  he  not  unto  them: 
That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which 
was  spoken^by  the  prophet,  say- 
ing, 1  will  open  my  month  in 
paiables;  I  will  utter  things  which 
have  been  kept  secret  from  the 
foundation  of  the  world.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  that  when  Jesus 
had  finished  these  parables,  he 
departed  tbenoe. 

Mark  Iv,  9,  S3,  84  And  be  I

taught  them  many  things  by

such  parables  spake  ho  the  word 
unto  them,  as  they  were  ahl«*  to 
hear  it.  But  without  a  parable 
spake  lie  not  unto  them:  and  when 
they  were  olone,  lie  expouuUiMl 
all  things  to  his  disciples. 

Luke  vili,  4,  And  when  mucfh 
people  were  gatjiered  together,

Luke  XV,  8.  And  he  spake  this 
parable  unto  them,  saying. 

Luke  xtx,  11.  And  as  they  heard 
these  things,  he  added  and  spake 
a  parable,  because  be  was  nigh  to

Matth.  vll,  24-27.  Therefore, 
whosoever  heareth  these  sayings 
of  mine,  and  doeth  them,  1  will 
liken  him  unto  a  wise  man.  which 
built  his  house  upon  a  rock;  And 
the  rain  descended,  and  the  floods 
came,  and  tlie  winds  blew,  arfll

rock.  And  every  one  that  hear- 
eth  these  sayings  of  mine,  and 
doeth  them  not,  shall  be  likened 
unto  a  foolish  man,  which  built 
his  house  upon  the  sand;  And  the

and  great  was  the  fall  of  it. 

Tasis. 

Jfam.  xllf,  24-30.  Another  par- 
able  put  he  furih  unto  them,  say- 
ing. The  kingdom  of  heaven  Is 
likened  unto  a  man  which  sowed 
good  seed  in  liis  field:  But  wliUe 
men  slept,  his  enemy  came  and 
sowed  tares  among  the  wheat, 
and  went  his  way.  But  when  the 
blade  was  sprung  up,  and  brought 
forth  fruit,  then  appeared  the 
tares  also.  So  the  servants  of  the 
hoUriehoider  came  and  said  unto 
him.  Sir,  didst  thou  not  sow  good 
seed  In  thy  field?  from  whence 
then  hath  it  tares?  lie  said  unto 
them.  An  enemy  hath  done  this. 
The  servants  said  unto  him,  Wilt 
thou  then  that  we  go  and  gather 
them  up?  But  lie  said.  Nay;  lest, 
while  ye  gather  up  the  tares,  ye 
root  up  also  the  wheat  with  them. 
Let  both  grow  together  uniil  the 
harvest:  and  in  the  time  of  liarvest 
I  will  say  to  the  reapers,  Gather 
ye  together  first  the  tares,  and 
bind  tliem  In  buiulles  to  burn 
them;  but  gather  the  wheat  into 
my  bam.

DSBTOBS  AWO  GftSDrrOBS. 

MaWi.  zvlil.  23-34.  Therefore 
Is  the  kingdom  of  heaven  likened 
nnto  a  certain  king,  which  wonld 
take  account  of  his  servants.  And 
when  he  had  begun  to  reckon, 
one  was  bruught  unto  him,  which 
owed  him  ten  thousand  talents: 
But  forasmuch  as  he  had  not  to 

Ky,  his  lord  commanded  him  to 
sold,  and  his  wife  and  olilldren. 
and  all  that  he  had,  and  payment 
to  be  made.  Tbe  servant  there- 
fore fell  down  and  worshipped 
blm,  saying,  Lord,  have  patience 
with  me.  and  I  will  pay  thee  alL 
Then  the  Lord  of  that  servant 
WHS  moved  with  compassion,  and 
loosed  him,  and  forgave  him  the 
debt.  But  the  same  servant  went 
out,  and  found  one  of  his  fellow- 
servants,  which  owed  him  an  hun- 
dred pence;  and  he  laid  bands  on 
him,  and  touk  him  by  the  throat, 
saying.  Pay  me  that  thou  owest. 
And  his  fellow-servant  tell  down 
at  his  feet,  and  besought  him, 
saying,  Have  patience  with  mo, 
and  1  will  pay  thee  all.  And  he 
would  not;  bot  went  and  oust  him 
into  prison,  till  he  fhould  pay  the 
debt.  So  when  his  fellow -ser- 
vants saw  what  was  done,  they 
were  very  sorry,  and  came  and 
toiil  unto  their  lord  all  that  was 
done.  Then  hiii  lord  aft<;r  tliat 
h»  hod  culled  him.  said  unto  hira, 
O  thuu  wicked  servant,  I  forgave 


thee  all  that  debt,  because  thou 
deslredst  me:  Shouldest  not  thou 
also  have  had  compassion  on  thy 
fellow-servanL  even  as  I  had  pity

and  delivered  hUn  to  tbe  tormen-

DAT  LABOUBSia. 

ilait,  xz,  1-16.  For  the  kingdom 
of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  man  that 
U  an  householder,  which  went  out 
early  in  the  morning  to  hire 
labourers  into  his  vineyard.  And 
when  he  had  agreed  with  the 
labourers  for  a  penny  a-day,  he 
sent  them  Into  his  vineyard.  And 
he  went  out  about  the  third  hour, 
and  saw  others  standing  idle  In  the 
marketplace.  And  he  said  unto 
them,  Oo  ye  also  Into  the  vine- 
yard; and  whatsover  Is  right  I  wlU 
give  you.  And  they  went  their 
way.  Again  be  went  out  about 
the  sixth  and  ninth  hour,  and  did 
likewise.  And  about  the  eleventh 
hour  he  Went  oot,  and  foond 
others  standing  Idle,  and  solth 
unto  them.  Why  stand  ye  hero  all 
the  day  idle?  They  say  unto  him, 
npcause  no  man  hath  hired  us. 
He  salth  unto  them,  Oo  ye  also 
Into  tlie  vineyard:  and  whatsoever 
is  right,  that  shall  ye  receive.  80

them  their  hire,  beginning  from 
the  hist  unto  the  first.  And  when 
they  came  that  were  hired  about 
the  eleventh  hour,  they  received 
every  man  a  penny.  But  when 
the  first  came,  they  supposed 
that  they  should  have  received 
more;  and  they  likewise  received 
every  man  a  pennr.  And  when 
they  had  received  it,  they  mur- 
mured against  the  goodman  of  the

wrought  but  one  hour,  and  thou 
hast  made  them  equal  unto  us, 
which  hare  borne  the  burden  ana 
beat  of  the  day.  But  he  answered 
one  of  tliem,  and  said,  Friend,  I 
do  thee  no  wrong:  didst  not  thou 
agree  with  me  for  a  pennyt  Take 
that  thine  is,  and  go  thy  way:  I 
will  give  unto  this  Ust  even  as 
unto  thee.  Is  it  not  lawful  tor  me 
to  do  what  I  will  with  mine  own? 
Is  thine  eye  evil,  becanse  I  am 
good?  80  the  last  shall  be  first, 
and  the  first  last:  for  many  be 
called,  but  few  chosen.

answered,  and  spake  nnto  them 
again  by  parables,  and  said.  The 
kingdom  of  heaven  Is  like  unto  a 
certain  king,  which  made  a  mar- 
riage for  his  son.  And  sent  fbrth 
bis  servants  to  call  them  that  were 
bidden  to  tbe  wedding:  and  tliey 
would  not  come.  Agulu,  be  sent 
forth  other  senronts,  saying,  Tell 
them  whloli  are  bidden.  Behold, 
I  have  prepared  my  dinnen  my 
oxen  and  my  fatllngs  are  killed, 
and  all  things  are  ready:  oome 
unto  the  marrlsge.  But  they 
mode  light  of  it,  and  went  their 
ways,  one  to  his  form,  another  to 
bis  merchandise.  And  the  ren>- 
nant  took  bis  senrants,  and  en- 
treated them  splteMly,  and  slew 
them.  But  when  the  king  heard 
thereotf,  he  was  wroth:  and  he  aent 
forth  his  armies,  and  deetroyed 
those  murderers,  and  burned  up 
their  city.  Then  salth  he  to  his 
servants,  The  wedding  Is  ready, 
but  they  which  were  bidden  were 
not  worthy.  Go  ye  titerefore  into 
the  highways,  and  as  many  as  ya 
shall  find,  bid  to  the  marriage.  80 
those  servants  went  out  into  the 
highways,  and  gathered  together 
all,  as  many  as  they  fuuod,  both 
bad  and  troo^  and  the  wedding 
wasftimlshed  with  guests.  And 
when  tbe  king  came  in  to  see  the 
guests,  he  saw  tliere  a  man  which 
had  not  on  a  wedding  garment: 
And  he  salth  unto  him.  Friend, 
how  earnest  thou  in  hither  not 
having  a  wedding  garment?  And 
be  was  speechless.  Then  said  the 
king  to  the  servants,  Bhid  him 
hand  and  foot^  and  take  him 
away,  and  cast  him  into  outer

tion of  goods  Uiat  falletli  to  me. 
And  he  divided  auto  Uiem  Als 
living.  And  not  many  days  after, 
the  younger  son  gathered  all  to- 
gether, and  took  his  journey  into 
a  fftr  country,  and  Uiere  wasted 
his  substance  with  riotous  living. 
And  when  be  had  sp^'nt  all,  there 
arose  a  mighty  famine  In  that 
land;  and  hu  began  to  be  in  want. 
And  he  went  and  Joined  himself 
to  a  citizen  of  that  country;  and 
he  seut  him  into  his  fields  to  feed 
swine.  And  he  would  fain  have 
flUed  his  belly  with  the  husks 
that  the  swine  did  eat:  and  no 
man  gave  unto  him.  And  when 
he  came  to  himself,  he  said,  Ilow 
many  hired  servants  of  my 
father's  have  bread  enough,  and 
to  spare,  and  I  perL^h  with  hun- 
getl  I  will  ari^e,  and  go  to  my

to  his  father.  But  when  he  was 
yet  a  great  way  off,  his  father  saw 
him.  and  had  compassion,  and  ran, 
and  fell  on  his  neck,  and  kissed 
him.  And  the  son  said  unto  him. 
Father,  I  have  sinned  agalnsit 
Heaven,  and  in  thy  sight,  and  sm 
no  more  wortiiy  to  be  called  thy 
son.  Out  the  father  said  to  his 
servants,  Bring  forth  tiie  best 
robe,  and  put  it  on  hhn;  and  put  a 
ring  on  his  hand,  and  shoes  on  his 
feet:  And  bring  hither  the  fatted

and  be  merry:  For  this  my  sun

Lukejrl,  1-8  And  he  said  also 
unto  his  disciples,  Tlioro  was  a 
certain  ricli  man  which  had  a 
steward;  and  the  saino  was  ac- 
cused unto  him  that  he  had 
wasted  bis  gootls.  And  he  called 
him,  and  said  unto  him,  Ilow  is 
it  that  I  hear  thb  of  tiiee?  give  an 
account  of  thy  sto wardship;  for 
thou  mayest  be  no  longer  stew- 
ard. Then  the  steward  said 
within  himself.  What  shall  I  doT 
for  my  lord  Uketh  away  from  me 
the  stewardship:  I  cannut  dl^,  to 
beg  I  am  asliamed.  1  am  resolv- 
ed what  to  do,  that,  when  I  am 
put  out  of  the  stewardship,  they 
may  receive  me  Into  their  iioa«4>a.

Wiiom  art  thou  like  In  thy  great-

with  her  rivers  running  round 
about  hto  plants,  and  sent  out  her

and  he  halii  shot  up  hto  top

I  have  therefore  delivt-red  him

Pbesxhcb  of  Satav. 

Job  I,  6-12.  Now  there  was  a 
day  when  the  sons  of  God  came  to 
present  then  selves  before  the 
Lord,  and  Satan  came  also  among 
them.  And  the  Lobd  said  unto 
Satan,  Whence  comestthou?  Then 
Satan  answered  the  I^bd,  and 
said,  From  going  to  and  fro  In  the 
earth,  and  from  walking  up  and 
down  In  It.  And  the  Lobd  said 
unto  Satan,  Ilust  then  considered 
my  servant  Job,  that  there  is  none 
like  him  In  the  earth,  a  perfect 
and  an  upright  man,  one  that 
feareth  God,  and  escbewetb  evil? 
Then  Satan  answered  the  Lobd, 
and  said.  Doth  Job  fear  God  for 
nought?  Hast  not  thou  made  an 
hedge  about  him,  and  about  bis 
house,  and  about  all  that  he  hath 
on  every  bldi?  thou  hast  blessed 
the  work  of  his  hands,  aud  his  sub- 
stance Is  increased  In  the  land: 
But  put  forth  thine  baud  now,  and 
toucli  all  that  he  hath,  and  he  will 
curse  thee  to  thy  lace.  And  the 
LoBu  s  lid  uuto  Satan,  Bohold,  all 
that  he  hatli  is  in  thy  power;  only 
upon  himself  put  not  forth  thine 
hand.  So  Satan  went  forth  from 
the  presence  of  the  Lobd. 

Job  ii,  3-7.  And  the  Loan  said 
unto  Satan,  IIusi  thou  considered 
my  servant  Job,  that  there  is  none 
like  him  In  the  eartii,  a  perfect 
and  an  upright  man,  one  that 
feareth  God,  and  esehewolh  evil? 
and  still  be  holdetb  fast  his  In- 
tegrity, altliongii  then  movedat 


me  agatnat  htm,  to  deatmj  htm 
without  cauae.  And  Satan  an- 
swered the  Lo&D,  and  said,  Skin 
for  skin;  yea,  all  that  a  man  batb 
will  he  give  for  his  life:  But  put 
forth  thhie  hand,  now^ud  touch  his 
bone  and  his  flesh,  and  be  will 
curse  thee  to  tby  face.  And  the 
LoHo  said  unto  Satan,  Behold  ha 
is  In  thine  hand;  but  save  his  lilo. 
So  went  Satan  forth  from  tlie  pre- 
sence of  the  Loau,  and  smote  Job 
with  acre  boils  Iromthe  soleof  iila 
foot  unto  hla  crown.

answered  lilm,  do,  and  proepen 
for  the  Loan  shall  deliver  it  Into 
the  band  of  the  king.  And  the 
king  said  unto  him,  How  m  my 
times  shall  1  adjure  thee  that  thoa 
tell  me  nothing  but  that  icMch  iff 
true  in  Uie  name  of  the  Loau? 
And  he  said,  I  saw  all  Israel  scat- 
tered upon  the  bills,  as  sheep  that 
have  not  a  shepherd;  and  the 
Lobd  said.  These  have  no  muster; 
let  them  return  every  man  to  his 
house  in  peace.  And  the  king  of 
Israel  said  unto  Jehoahaphat,  Did 
I  not  tell  thee  that  he  would  pro- 
phesy no  good  concerning  lue. 
but  evil?  And  he  said.  Hear  ttioa 
therefore  the  word  of  the  Louu: 
I  saw  the  Lobd  silting  on  hia 
throne,  aud  all  the  lust  uf  heaven 
standing  by  him  on  his  rl^lit  hand, 
and  on  his  left.  And  the  Louo 
said.  Who  shall  perruade  Aliub, 
that  he  may  go  up  and  fall  at 
Ramotb-gilead?  And  one  said  on 
this  manner,  aud  another  said  on 
that  munner.  Aud  there  came 
forth  a  spirit,  and  stood  before 
the  LoBu,  and  said,  1  will  per- 
suade him. 

JOSBUA  AWD  SaTAK. 

Zech.  ill,  1, 3-6.  And  he  shewed 
me  Joshua  the  high  priest  stand-

and  Satan  standing  at  his  right 
hand  to  resist  him.  Now  Joshua 
was  clothed  with  flilhy  gaimenta. 
and  stood  before  the  angel.  And 
he  answered  and  spake  nnto 
those  that  stood  before  him,  say- 
ing, take  away  the  flithy  garment^ 
from  him.  And  unto  him  he  said. 
Behold,  I  have  caused  thine 
Iniquity  to  pasii  ft-om  thee,  and  I 
will  clothe  thee  with  change  of 
raiment.  And  I  said,  Let  them 
set  a  foir  mitro  upon  bis  head. 
So  they  set  a  fair  mitre  npon  hla

John  Tl.  83-83,  48,  60-68.  Then 
Jesus  said  unto  them,  Vordy, 
verily,  I  say  nuto  you,  Moses 
gave  yon  not  that  bread  from 
heaven;  but  my  Father  glveth 
you  the  true  bread  from  heaven. 
For  the  bread  of  God  Is  he  which 
Cometh  down  from  heaven,  and 
ffiveth  life  nnto  the  world.  Then 
said  they  unto  him.  Lord,  ever- 
more give  U8  this  bread.  And 
Jesus  said  unto  them,  I  am  the 
bread  of  life:  he  that  comoth  to 
me  shall  never  hunger;  and  ho 
that  belleveth  on  me  shall  never 
thirst.  I  am  that  bread  of  life. 
This  is  the  bread  which  cometh 
down  from  heaven,  that  a  man 
may  eat  thereof,  and  not  die.  I 
am  tho  living  bread  whicli  came 
down  fk'om  heaven:  if  any  man 
eat  of  tids  bread,  be  shall  live  for 
even  and  the  bread  that  I  will 
give  is  my  flesh,  which  I  wilt  give 
fur  the  life  of  the  world.  The 
Jews  therefore  strove  among 
themselves,  saying.  IIow  can  this 
man  give  us  his  flesh  to  eat?  Then 
Jesus  said  unto  them,  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  nnto  you.  Except  ye 
eat  the  flush  of  the  Sou  of  man, 
and  drink  bis  blood,  ye  have  no 
lifi»  in  yoQ.  Whoto  eateth  my 
fle!«h,  and  drinketh  my  blood, 
hutli  eternal  lile;  and  I  will  raise 
him  up  at  the  laat  day.  F«>r  my 
flesh  is  meat  indeed,  and  my  blood 
la  drink  indeed.  He  that  eateth 
my  tl9th,  and  drtnketb  my  blood, 


dwelleth  in  me.  and  I  fn  bim.  As 
tho  living  Father  haili  sent  me, 
and  I  live  by  the  Father,  so  be 
that  eateth  mo,  even  he  simli  live 
by  me.  This  is  that  bread  which 
came  down  from  heaven;  notos 
your  fathers  did  cut  manna,  and 
are  dead.  He  that  eateth  of  this 
bread  shall  live  lor  ever.

John  !▼,  10-12.  Jesus  answered

that  saith  to  thee,  (jive  me  to

greater  than  our  father  Jacob, 
which  gave  ns  the  well,  and  drunk 
thereof  himself,  and  bis  ddldren, 
and  bis  cattle? 

John  vil,  87-89.  In  the  lost  dar, 
that  great  day  of  the  feast,  Jcsns 
stood  and  cried,  saying,  If  any 
mtm  thirst,  let  him  come  unto  me, 
and  drink.  Ho  that  belleveth  on 
me,  as  the  scriptures  hath  s^id, 
out  of  his  belly  Mhall  flow  rivers  or 
living  water.  (But  this  spake  be 
of  the  Spirit,  wiiich  they  tliat  be- 
lieve on  him  should  receive:  for 
the  Holy  Ghost  was  not  yet  girent 
because  that  Jesus  was  uot  yet

sought  to  put  him  to  death:  bat

DELIVERANCES. 
Ps.  Ixxii,  14.    He  shall  redeem 
their  soul  fromdeceltand  violence; 
and  precious  shall  their  blood  be 
in  his  sight 

7(5r.  xxTl,  16-19, 24.  Then  said 
the  princes  and  all  the  people 
unto  the  priests,  and  to  the  pro> 
pheta,  This  man  is  not  worthy  to 
die:  for  he  hath  spoken  to  us  In 
the  name  of  the  Loan  our  God. 
Then  rose  up  certain  of  tbe 
elders  of  the  land,  and  spake  to  all 
the  asxerobly  of  the  people,  say. 
Ing.  Micah  the  Hurosthite  pro- 
phesied in  the  days  of  UezekiaJi 
king  of  Judah,  and  spake  to  all 
the  people  of  Jorlah.  saying,  Thus 
saltb  the  Lord  of  hosts,  Ziun  shall 
be  plowed  like  a  field,  and  Jeru- 
salem shall  become  heaps,  and 
the  mountain  of  the  house  as  tbe 
high  places  of  a  forest.  Did 
Hezeklah  king  of  Judah  and  all 
Judah  put  him  at  all  to  death?  did 
he  not  tear  the  LoBo,and  besought 
the  Lord,  and  the  Lohd  repented 
him  of  the  evil  which  he  had  pro- 
nounced against  them?  Thas 
might  we  procure  great  evil 
against  onr  souls.  Nevertheless 
the  hand  of  Ahikam  the  koo  of 
Shaphan  was  with  Jeremiah,  that 
they  should  not  give  him  into  the 
hand  of  the  people  to  put  him  to 
death. 

2  Cor.  i,  9. 10.  But  we  had  tbe 
sentence  of  death  in  ourselves, 
that  we  should  not  trust  In  our- 
solves,  but  In  God  which  raiseth 
the  dead;  Who  delivered  us  frona 
so  great  a  death,and  doth  deliver: 
in  whom  we  trust  that  he  will  yet 
deliver  us. 

2  Tim  ill,  10, 11.  But  thou  hast 
fully  known  my  doctrine,  manner 
of  life,  purpose,  faith,  long-suffor- 
ing,  charity,  patience,  Perseca- 
tious,  aflUctions,  whicli  came  unto 
me  at  Antloch,  at  Icontum,  at 
Lystra;  what  persecutions  I  en« 
dured:  but  out  of  them  sU  th^ 
Lord  delivered  me.  ^^

Job  vii,  20.  I  have  sinned;  whal

Dan.  Iz,  5-8,  10-15.  We  have 
sinned,  and  have  committed 
iniquity,  and  have  done  wickedly, 
and  have  rebelled,  even  by  de- 
parting from  thy  precepts,  and 
from  thy  judgments;  Neither 
have  we  hearkened  nnto  thy  ser- 
vants tbe  prophets,  which  spake 
in  thy  name  to  our  kings,  our 
princes,  and  onr  fathers,  and  to 
aU  the  people  of  the  land.  O 
Lord,  righteousness  beUmgeth

of  Judah.  and  to  the  inhabitants 
of  Jerusalem,  and  nnto  all  Ittrael

through  all  the  countries  whither 
thon  hast  driven  them,  because  of

to  oor  kiogs»  to  onr  princes,  and 
to  oor  fisthers,  because  we  have

have  we  obeyed  the  voice  of  the 
Lobd  our  Ood,  to  walk  in  his  laws, 
which  he  set  before  ns  by  his  ser- 
vants the  prophets.  Yea,  all 
Israel  have  transgressed  thy  law, 
even  by  deparUng,  that  they 
might  not  obey  thy  voice;  there- 
fore the  curse  Is  poured  upon  us, 
and  the  oath  that  U  written  in  the 
law  of  Moses  the  servant  of  Ood, 
beoaose  we  have  sinned  against 
him.  And  he  hath  confirmed  his 
words,  which  he  spake  against

judged  ua  by  bringing  upon  as 
a  great  evil:  for  under  the  whole 
heaven  hath  not  been  done  as 
hath  been  done  upon  Jerusalem. 
AbU  a  written  Ip  the  law  of 
Moses,  all  this  evil  Is  come  upon 
ns:  yet  made  we  not  our  prayer 
before  the  Lobd  our  Ood,  that  we 
mlffht  turn  from  our  iniquities, 
and  understand  thy  truth.  There- 
fore hath  the  Lobd  watched  upon 
the  evU,  and  brought  it  upon  ns: 
for  the  LOBn  our  Ood  is  righteous 
In  aU  his  works  which  he  doeUu

made  war  with  the  Hagarites,

Nodab.  And  they  were  helped 
against  them,  and  the  Hagarites 
were  delivered  into  their  hand, 
and  all  that  were  with  them:  for 
they  cried  to  God  in  the  batUe, 
and  he  was  entreated  of  them; 
because  they  put  their  trust  in 
him. 

2  Chron.  xill,  14-16.  And  when 
Judah  looked  back,  behold,  the 
battle  was  before  and  behind:  and 
they  cried  nnto  the  Lord,  and  the 
priests  sounded  with  the  trum- 
pets. Then  the  men  of  Judah 
gave  a  shout:  and  as  the  men  of 
Judah  shouted,  it  came  to  pass, 
that  God  smote  Jeroboam  and  aU 
Israel  before  AbiJah  and  Judah. 
And  the  diildren  of  Israel  fled 
t>erore  Judah:  and  God  delivered 
them  into  their  hand.

they  told  David,  saying,  Behold, 
tbe     Philistines    fight     ag-olnst 
Keilah,  and  they  rob  the  thresh^ 
Ing-floors.     Therefore  David  en- 
quired of  the  Lobo,  saying.  Shall 
I  go  and  smite  these  Philistines? 
And  the  Lobo  said  unto  David. 
Go  and  smite  the  Philistines,  andf 
■ave  Keilah.    And  David's  men 
said  unto  hhn,  BehoId,we  be  afraid 
here  In  Judah:  how  much  mure 
then  It  we  oome  to  Keilah  against 
the  armies  of    the   Philii)tine«? 
Then  David  enquired  ot  the  Lord

'  swered  him,  and  said,  Arise,  go 
down  to  Kellali;  for  1  will  Ueiiver

Then  said  David,  0  Loan  God  of 

Israel,  tliy  servant  had  certainly 
heard  that  Saul  seeketh  to  oome  to 
Keilah,  to  destroy  the  city  for  my 
sake.  Will  the  men  of  Keilah 
deliver  me  up  Into  his  baud?  will 
Saul  come  down,  as  thy  servant 
hath  heard?  O  Lobd  God  of 
Israel,  I  beseech  tliee,  tell  thy 
servant  And  the  Lobd  said,  He 
will  come  down.  Then  said 
David,  Will  the  men  of  Keilah 
deliver  me  and  my  men  into  the 
hand  of  Saul?  And  the  Lobd 
said.  They  will  deliver  thee  up. 
Then  David  and  his  mAu.  which 
were  about  six  hundred,  arose 
and  departed  out  of  Keilah,  and 
went  whithersoever  they  could 
go.  And  It  was  told  Saul  that 
David  was  escaped  from  Keilah; 
and  he  forbare  to  go  forth. 

2  Sam,  11, 1.  And  it  came  to  pass 
after  tills,  that  David  enquired  of 
the  Loao,  saying,  Shall  I  go  up 
into  any  of  the  cities  of  Judah? 
And  the  Loau  said  unto  him,  Go 
up.  And  David  said.  Whither 
shall  I  go  up?  And  he  said.  Unto 
Hebron. 

2  Sam.  T,  19, 22-26.  And  David 
enquired  of  the  Loan  saying. 
Shall  I  go  up  to  the  PhUUUnes? 
wilt  thou  deliver  them  into  mine 
hknd?  And  the  Lobd  said  unto 
D&vid,  Oo  up;  for  I  will  doubtless 
deliver  the  PhilisUnes  into  thhie 
baud.  And  the  Philistines  came 
up  yet  again,  and  spread  them- 
selves in  the  valley  of  Bephahn. 
And  when  David  enqnired  of  the 
Lobd,  he  said.  Thou  slialt  not  go 
np;  tut  fetch  a  compobS  behind 
them,  and  come  upon  them  over 
against  the  mulberry-trees.  And 
let  it  be,  when  thou  hearest  Uie 
sound  of  a  going  In  the  tope  <tf 
the  mulberry-trees,  that  then  thoa 
Shalt  bostlr  thyself:  for  then  shall 
the  Lord  go  out  before  thee,  to 
■mite  the  host  of  the  Philistines. 
And  David  did  eo,  as. the  Loao 
had  oommonded  him;  and  smote 
the  Philistines  fh>m  Geba  until 
thou  come  to  Gaser.

wilt  thou  deliver  them  Into  mftie

him.  Go  up;  for  1  will  dcllvt^  them 
into  thine  hand .  So  they  came  to 
Baal-perazim;  and  David  smote 
them  there.  Then  David  said, 
God  hath  broken  in  upon  mine

will  make  myself  known  nnto

Loin  revealed  himself  to  Samuel 
In  Shlloh  by  the  word  of  the

Jer.  XX,  9, 10.  Then  I  lald,  I  will 
not  make  mention  of  him,  nor

his  XDord  was  In  mine  heart  aa  a 
burning  lire  shut  up  in  my  bones, 
and  I  was  weary  with  forbearing, 
and  I  could  not  stay.  For  1

and  he  said  unto  me,  Arh»e,  g<>

there  talk  with  thee.  Then  I 
arose,  and  went  forth  Into  the

the  Lobd  stood  there,  as  the 
glory  which  I  saw  by  the  river  of 
Cheban  and  I  fell  on  my  face. 
But  when  I  speak  with  thee,  I

therefore,  I  pray  you,  tarry  ye

call  thee,  rise  up,  and  go  with 
them;  but  yet  the  word  whi<.h  I

Balak,  Lo,  I  am  come  unto  thee: 
have  I  now  any  power  at  all  to 
say  any  thing?  the  word  that  God

Balak  said  unto  him,  Comet.  1

what  is  that  proverb  that  ye  have 
In  the  land  of  Israel,  saying,  The

vision  falleth?  Tell  them  there- 
fore. Thus  salth  the  Lord  God,  I 
will  make  this -proverb  to  ceaso, 
and  they  shall  no  more  use  it  as  a 
proverb  in  Israel;  but  say  unto 
them,  The  days  are  at  baud,  and 
the  effect  of  every  vision.  For 
there  shall  be  no  more  any  vain 
vision  nor  flattering  divination 
within  the  house  of  Israel.  For  I 
am  tbe  Loau:  I  will  speak,  and 
the  word  that  I  shall  speak  shall 
come  to  pass;  it  shall  be  no  more 
prolonged:  for  in  your  days,  O

Exek,  xill,  17-23.  Likewise,  thou 
■on  of  lAan,  set  thy  face  against 
the  daughters  of  thy  people,  which 
prophesy  out  of  their  own  heart; 
ana  prophesy  thou  against  them, 
And  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Woe  to  the  women  that  sew 
pillow  8  to  all  arm-holes,  and  make 
kerchiefs  upon  the  hf  ad  of  every 
stature,  to  hunt  soulsl  Will  ye 
hunt  the  souls  of  my  people,  and 
will  ye  save  the  soub  alive  t/uU 
come  unto  you?  And  will  ye 
pollute  me  among  my  people  for 
handfuls  of  barley,  and  for  pieces 
of  bread,  to  slay  the  souls  that 
should'  not  die,  and  to  save  the 
ftouls  alive  that  should  not  live, 
by  your  lying  to  my  people  that 
hear  your  lies?  Wherefore  thus 
salth  the  Lord  God,  Behold,  I  am 
against  your  pillows,  wherewith 
ye  there  hunt  the  souls  to  make 
them  fly,  and  I  will  tear  them 
from  your  arms,  and  will  let  the 
c'ouls  go,  even  the  souls  that  ye 
hunt  to  make  them  fly.  Your 
kerchleCs  also  will  I  tear,  and  de- 
liver my  people  out  of  your.hand, 
and  they  shall  be  no  more  In  your 
hand  to  be  hunted:  and  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lobi>.  Be- 
cause with  Ilea  ye  have  made  the

that  he  should  not  return  from  his 
wicked  way,  by  promising  him 
life.  Therefore  ye  shall  see  no 
more  vanity,  nor  divine  divina-

out  of  your  hand;  and  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lobd. 

Sev,  U,  90.  Notwithstanding  I 
have  a  few  things  against  thee, 
because  thou  sufferest  that  woman

my  servants  to  commit  fomlcip

PROPHETS  UNDEB  THE 
NEW  TESTAMENT. 

Acts  XV,  82.  And  Judas  and 
Silas,  being  prophets  also  them^ 
selves,  exhorted  the  brethren  with 
many  words,  and  conflrmed  them. 

Rom.  xtl,  6L  Having  then  gifts

that  Is  given  to  us.  whether  pro-

1  Qor.  xlv,  1-8,  29-83.  FoUow 
after  charity,  and  desire  spiritual 
gifts,  but  rather  that  ye  may  pro- 
phesy. For  he  that  speaketh  in 
an  ut^noum  tongue  speakQth  not 
unto  men,  but  unto  Ood:  for  no 
roan  understandeth  him;  howbeit 
in  the  spirit  he  speaketh  mys- 
teries. But  he  that  pr«)phesletb 
speaketh  unto  men  to  edification, 
and  exhortation,  and  comfort.  Let 
the  prophets  speak  two  or  three, 
and  let  the  other  Judge.  If  any 
tiling  be  revealed  to  another  that 
sitteth  by,  let  the  first  hold  his 
peace.  For  ye  may  all  prophesy  one 
by  one,  that  all  may  learn,  and  all 
may  be  comforted.  And  the 
spirits  of  the  prophets  are  subject 
to  the  prophets.  For  God  Is  not 
the  author  of  confusion,  but  of 
peace,  as  in  all  chorohes  of  the 


THE  PROPHETS  RESPECTED. 
1  Sam.  ill,  19, 20.  And  Samuel 
grew,  and  the  Lobd  was  with  him, 
and  did  let  none  of  his  words  full

from  Dan  even  to  Beersheba, 
knew  that  Samuel  was  establish- 
ed fo  &e  a  prophet  of  the  Loao. 

1  Sam.  ix,  6.  And  he  said  unto 
him.  Behold  now,  there  is  in  this 
city  a  man  of  God,  and  he  is  ^n 
honourable  man;  all  that  he  saith 
Cometh  surely  to  pass:  now  let  us 
go  thither;  peradventure  he  can 
shew  us  our  way  that  we  should 
go. 

1  Kings  xvlll,  4.  For  it  was  so, 

when  Jezebel  cut  off  the  prophets

them  by  fifty  m  a  oave,  and  ted 
them  with  bre%d  and  water.) 

2  ^ings  11,  16.  And  when  tha 
sons  of  the  prophets,  which  were 
to  view  at  Jericho,  saw  him,  they 
said.  The  spirit  of  EUjah  doth 
rest  on  Ellsba.  And  they  came 
to  meet  him,  and  bowed  them- 
selves to  the  ground  before  him. 

*  2  Kings  x,  10.  Know  now  that 
there  shall  fall  nnto  the  earth 
nothing  o^  the  word  of  the  Lou>, 
which  the  Lobd  spake  concerning 
the  house  of  Abab:  for  the  Lord 
hath  done  that  which  he  spake  by 
his  servant  EUJah. 

2  OhroTi.  xxvl,  6.  And  he  sought 
God  in  the  days  of  Zechariah,who 
had  understanding  in  the  visions 
of  God:  and  as  long  as  he  sought 
the  Lobd,  God  made  him  to  pros- 
per. 

Jer,  zxxlx,ll,12.  Now  Nebuchad- 
rezzar king  of  Babylon  gave 
charge  concerning  Jeremiah  to 
Nebuntr-adan  the  captain  of  the 
guard,  saying,  Take  him,  and 
look  well  to  him,  and  do  him  no 
harm;  but  do  unto  film  even  as 
he  shall  say  unto  thee. 

Jer.  xl,  4, 5.  And  now,  behold,  I 
loose  thee  [Jeremiah]  this  daytrom 
the  chains  which  %Dere  upon  tiilne 
hand.  If  it  seem  good  unto  tliee 
to  come  with  me  into  Babylon, 
come,  and  I  will  look  well  unto 
thee:  but  if  it  seem  ill  unto  thee 
to  come  with  me  inio  Babylon, 
forbear:  l)ehold,  all  the  land  is 
before  thee;  whither  It  seemoth 
good  and  convenient  for  thee  to 
go,  thither  ^,  Now.  while  he 
was  not  yet  gone  back,  Ae  said, 
Go  back  also  to  Uedaliah  tiie  bon 
of  Ahikam,  the  son  of  Shaplmn, 
whom  the  king  of  Babylon  hath 
made  governor  over  the  cities  of 
Judab,  and  dwell  with  him  among 
^tlie  i>eople;  or  go  wheresoever  it 
seemeth  convenient  unto  thee  to 
go.  So  the  captain  of  the  guard 
gave  him  victuals  and  a  reward, 
and  let  him  go. 

Acts  xxvl,  27.  King  Agrlppa. 
bellevest  thou  the  prophets?  I

Jehoshaphat  said.  Is  there  not 
here  a  prophet  of  tlio  Loao  be- 
sldrs,  that  we  might  enqnire  of

nnto  Jehoshaphat,  There  is  yet

Imiah,  by  whom  we  may  enquire 
of  the  LoBo:  but  I  hate  him;  for 
he  doth  not  prophesygood  concern-

Jer.xxvUi,  7-9.  Nevertheless,  hear

old,  prophesied  both  against  many 
countries,  and  against  great  king-

pestilence.  The  prophet  which 
prophesleth  of  peace,  when  the 
word  of  the  prophet  shall  come  to

Jer.  zxxvll,  19.  Where  are  now 
your  prophets  which  prophesied

bylon shall  not  come  against  you, 
nor  against  this  land  f 

THE  PENALTY. 

Deut,  xviil,  20.  But  the  prophet 
which  shall  presume  to  speak  a 
word  in  my  name,  which  I  have 
not  commanded  him  to  speak,  or 
that  shall  speak  in  the  name  of 
other  gods,  even  that  prophet 
shall  die. 

Zech.  zili,  2, 8.  And  It  shall  come 
to  pass  in  that  day,  saltii  the  Loan 
of  hosts,  that  I  WiU  cut  off  the 
names  of  the  Idols  out  of  the  land, 
and  they  shall  no  more  be  remem- 
bered; and  also  I  will  cause  the 
prophets  and  the  unclean  spirit  to 
pass  out  of  the  land.  And  It  ahall 
come  to  pass,  that  when  any  shall 
yet  prophesy,  then  his  father  and 
bis  mother  that  begat  him  shall 
say  unto  him.  Thou  shalt  not  live ; 
for  thou  speakest  lies  in  the  name 
of  the  Loao:  uid  his  father  and 
his  mother  that  begat  him  shall 
thrust  him  through  when  ho  pro- 
phesleth.

Jer.  xlv.  16.  Therefore  thus  salth 
the  Loan  concerning  the  prophets 
that  prophesy  in  my,  name,  and  I 
sent  them  not,  yet  they  say.  Sword 
and  famine  shall  not  be  in  this 
land ;  By  sword  and  fiunlne  shall 
those  prophets  be  consumed. 

Jer.  XX,  6.  And  thou,  Pashuri 
and  all  that  dwell  in  thine  house, 
shall  go  into  captivity :  and  thou 
Shalt  come  to  Babylon,  and  there 
thou  Shalt  die,  and  shalt  be  buried 
there,  thou,  and  all  thy  friends, 
to  whom  toon  hast  prophesied 
lies. 

Jer.  xxlil,  9,  18.  80-83.  Mine 
heart  within  me  is  broken  because 
of  the  prophets;  all  my  bones 
shake:  I  am  like  a  drunken  man, 
and  like  a  man  whom  wine  hath 
overcome,  because  of  the  Loan, 
and  because  of  the  words  of  his 
holiness.  And  I  have  seen  folly 
in  the  prophets  of  Samaria;  they 
prophesied  in  Baal,  and  caused 
my  people  Israel  to  err.  There- 
fore, behold,  I  am  against  the  pro- 
phets, saith  the  Loan,  that  steal 
my  words  every  one  from  hla 
674 


neighbour.  Behold,  I  a«t  against 
the  prophets,  salth  the  Loan,  that 
use  their  tongues,  and  say,  He 
saith.  Behold,  I  am  against  them 
that  prophesy  false  dreams,  saith 
the  Loan,  and  do  tell  tbom,  and 
cause  my  people  to  err  by  their 
lies,  and  hy  their  lightness ;  yet  I 
sent  them  not,  nor  commanded 
them :  therefore  they  shall  not 
profit  this  people  at  all,  saith  the 
Loan. 

Jer.  xxvlil,  16-17.  Then  said  the 
prophet  Jeremiah  unto  Hananlah 
the  prophet.  Hear  now,  Hananlah; 
The  Loan  hath  not  sent  thee;  but 
thon  makest  this  people  to  trust 
in  a  lie.  Therefore  thus  salth  the 
Lobd;  Behold,  I  wlU  cast  thee 
from  off  the  fiAoe  of  the  earth:  this 
year  thou  shalt  die,  because  thou 
hast  taught  rebellion  agahist  the 
Lobd.  So  Hananlah  the  prophet 
died  the  same  year,  in  the  seventh 
month. 

Jer.  xxlx,  16-17,  20-22,  81,  82. 
Because  ye  have  said.  The  Loan 
hath  raised  us  up  prophete  in 
Babylon;  Know  that  thus  salth 
the  Loan  of  the  Ung  that  sltteth 
upon  the  throne  of  David,  and  of 
all  tije  people  that  dwellethin  this 
city,  and  of  your  brethren  thait 
are  not  gone  forth  with  you  into 
activity;  Thus  salth  the  Loan  of 
hosts.  Behold,  I  will  send  upon 
them  the  sword,  the  famine,  and 
the  pestilence,  and  will  make 
them  like  vile  figs,  that  cannot  be 
eaten,  they  are  so  evlL  Hear  ye 
therefore  the  word  of  the  Loan, 
all  ye  of  the  capUvlty,  whom  I 
have  sent  from  Jerusalem  to 
Babylon;  Thus  saith  the  Loan  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Israel,  of  Ahab 
the  son  of  Kolaiab,  and  of  Zede- 
klah  the  son  of  Maaseiah,  which 
prophesy  a  lie  unto  you  in  my 
name,  Behold,  I  will  deliver  them 
into  the  band  of  Nebuchadrezxar 
king  of  Babylon,  and  he  shall  slay 
them  before  your  eyes:  And  of 
them  shall  be  taken  up  a  curse 
by  all  the  captivity  of  Judah 
which  are  in  Babylon,  saying,  The 
Lobd  make  thee  like  ZedekiatL 
and  like  Ahab,  whom  the  king  of 
Babylon  roasted  hi  the  fire.  Bend 
to  all  them  of  the  captivity,  say- 
ing, Thus  saith  the  Loan  conoem- 
ing  Shemaiab  the  Nehelamite, 
Because  that  Shemaiab  hath  pro- 
phesied unto  you,  and  I  sent  him 
not,  and  he  caused  you  to  trust  in ' 
•a  lie;  Therefore  thus  salth  the 
Lobd,  Behold,  I  will  punish  Sbe- 
maiah  the  Nebelamlte,  and  his 
seed:  he  shall  not  have  a  man  to 
dwell  among  this  people;  neither 
shall  he  behold  the  good  that  I 
will  do  for  my  people,  salth  the 
Loan:  because  he  hath  taught 
rebellion  against  the  Loan.

pnrsued  after  the  children  of 
Israel:  and  the  cliildren  of  Israel .

might  be  a  merdfbl  and  faSthftil 
high  priest  in  things  pertaining 
to  God,  to  make  reconciliation  for 
the  sins  of  the  people.  For  in  that 
he  himself  hath  suffered,  being 
tempted,  he  is  able  to  sucoour 
them  that  are  tempted. 

Heb.  ill,  1,  2.  Wherefore*  holy 
brethren,  partakers  of  the  hea- 
venly calling,  consider  the  AposUe 
and  High  Priest  of  our  profession, 
Christ  Jesus;  Who  was  faithful  to 
him  that  appointed  him,  as  also 
Moses  was  faithful  in  all  his 
house. 

Heb.  Iv.  14, 15.  Seeing  then  that 
we  have  have  a  great  high  priept, 
that  is  passed  into  the  heavena, 
Jesus  the  Son  of  God.  let  us  hold 
fast  our  profession.  For  we  have 
not  an  high  priest  which  cannot 
be  touched  with  the  feeling  of  our 
infirmities;  but  was  in  all  points 
tempted  like  as  we  are,  yet  with- 
out sin. 

Ba>.  T,  6, 7, 10.  As  he  salth  also 
in  another  place,  Thou  art  a  priest 
for  ever,  after  the  order  of  Mel- 
chlsedec:  Who  In  the  days  of  his 
flesh,  when  he  had  offered  up 
prayers  and  supplIcaUons,  with 
strong  crying  and  tears,  unto  him 
t|)at  was  able  to  save  blm  from 
death,  and  was  heard  in  that  he 
feared.  Called  of  God  an  high 
priest,  after  the  order  of  Melchls- 
edeo. 

Eeb.  yi,  20.  Whither  the  fore- 
runner  is  for  us  entered,  erei» 
Jesus,  made  an  high  priest  for 
ever,  after  the  order  of  Melcbis- 
edeo. 

Beb,  Til,  7,  8,  11,  13-17.  19-29b 
2i-2a  And  without  all  contra- 
diction, the  less  is  blessed  of  the 
better.  And  here  men  that  die  re- 
ceive tithes;  but  there  he  recetvcth 
them,  of  whom  it  is  witnessed  that 
heliveth.  If  therefore  perfect loa 
were  by  the  Levltical  priesthood, 
(for  under  It  the  people  received 
the  law,)  what  further  need  teas 
there  that  another  priest  should 
rise  after  the  order  ot  Melchlsedec, 
and  not  be  called  after  the  order 
of  Aaron?  For  he  of  whom  these 
things  are  spoken  pertolueth  to 
another  tribe,  of  which  no  man 
gave  attendance  at  tho  altar.  For 
it  is  evident  that  our  Lord  fi)rang 
out  of  Judab;  of  whioh  tribe  Mottes 
spake  nothing  concerning  priesU 
hood.  And  it  la  yet  far  more  evl- 
dent:  for  that  after  the  similitude 
of  Melchlsedec  there  ariseth  an- 
other priest.  Who  is  made,  not 
after  the  law  of  a  carnal  com- 
mundiaent,  but  after  the  power  ol 
an  endless  life.  For  he  testlfleth. 
Thou  art  a  priest  for  ever,  after 
the  order  of  Melchlsedec  For  the 
law  made  uothlug  perfect,  but  the 
bringing  in  of  a  bettor  hope  did:- 
by  the  which  we  draw  nigh  unto

For  those  prietts  were  made) 
vrlthout  an  ootb;  bat  this  with  an 
oath  by  him  that  said  onto  him. 
The  Lord  sware,  and  will  not  re- 
pent, Thoa  art  a  priest  for  ever, 
aner  the  order  of  Melchlsedec:) 
B7  so  much  was  Jesus  misule  a 
surety  ofa  better  testament.  But 
this  man,  because  he  conlinueth 
erer,  bath  an  unchangeable  priest- 
hooa.  For  snch  an  blgh  priest 
became  us,  who  is  holy,  harmless, 
undeflled,  separate  from  sinners, 
and  made  higher  than  the  hea- 
vens; Who  needeth  not  daily,  as 
those  high  priests,  to  offer  up  sa- 
orlfloe,  first  for  his  own  sins,  and 
then  for  the  people's:  for  this  he 
did  once,  when  he  offered  up 
himselL  For  the  law  maketh  men 
high  priests  which  have  infirmity; 
but  the  word  of  the  oath,  which 
was  since  the  law,  maketh  the 
Son,  who  li  consecrated  for  ever- 
more. 

mb.  yUt,  1-6.  Now  of  the  things 
which  we  have  spoken  this  is  the 
sum:  We  have  such  an  blgh  priest, 
who  Is  set  on  the  right  band  of 
the  tbrono  of  the  Majesty  in  the 
heavens;  A  minister  of  the  sanc- 
tuary, and  of  the  true  tabernacle, 
which  the  Lord  pitched,  and  not 
man.  For  every  high  priest  is  or- 
dained to  offer  gins  and  sacrifices: 
wherefore  U  is  ot  necessity  that 
tlilH  man  have  somewliat  also  to 
offer.  For  If  he  were  on  earth,  he 
should  not  be  a  priest,  seeing  that 
there  are  priests  thut  offer  gifts 
according  to  the  law;  Who  serve 
unto  the  example  and  shadow  of 
heavenly  things,  as  Moses  was  ad- 
monished of  God  when  he  was 
about  to  make  the  tabernacle:  lor. 
See  (saltb  he)  that  thou  make  ail 
tlilDgs  according  to  the  pattern 
shewed  to  thee  in  the  mount. 

ITeb.  Ix,  1-ia  Then  verily  the 
first  covenant  had  also  ordinances 
of  divine  service,  and  a  worldly 
sanctuary.  For  there  was  a  taber- 
n-tclti  made;  Uie  first,  wherein  was 
th<-  catKiIesilck,  and  the  table  and 
tlio  Bliew-bread;  which  is  called 
the  SuncLuary.  And  after  the 
secuud  vail,  the  tabernacle  which 
la  culled  the  Holiest  of  all;  Which 
hail  the  g('Idun  censer,  and  the 
ark  of  the  co\  enint  overlaid  round 
about  with  gold,  wherein  was  the 
gulden  pot  that  had  manna,  and 
Aiiron's  rud  that  buddeJ,  and  the 
tables  of  the  covenant;  And  over 
it  I  ho  chcruiHma  of  glory  shadow- 
ing the  mercy-seut;  of  which  we 
cannot  now  speak  particularly. 
Now  when  these  things  were  thus 
ord.ilned,  tlie  priests  went  always 
Into  the  first  tabernacle,  accom- 
plishing the  servlceo/Ood;  Untlnto 
the  second  went  the  high  priest 
alone  ofive  every  year,  not  without 
blood,  Kltlch  he  offered  for  hlm- 
«fll^  and  /or  the  or-orn  of  the 
|e>ple;  The  HolT'Ohost  this  slg- 


REDEMPTION, 

btfying,  that  the  way  into  the  hoU 
est  of  all  was  not  yet  made  mani- 
fest,  while  as  the  first  tabernacle 
was  yet  standing:  Which  ioas  a 
figtire  for  the  time  then  present, 
in  which  were  offered  both  gifts 
and  sacrifices,  that  could  not  make 
him  that  did  the  service  perfect, 
as  pertaining  to  the  conscience; 
Which  stood  only  in  meats  and 
drinks,  and  divers  washings,  and 
carnal  ordinances,  Imposed  on 
them  until  the  time  of  reforma- 
Uon. 

ffeb.  X,  1-6, 10, 11, 17-19, 21,  22. 
For  the  law  having  a  shadow  of 
good  things  to  come,  and  not  the 
very  image  of  the  things,  can 
never  with  those  sacrifices,  which 
they  offered  year  by  year  conti- 
nually, make  the  comers  there- 
unto perfect:  For  then  would  they 
not  have  ceased  to  be  offered?  be- 
cause that  the  worshipperB  once 
purged  should  have  had  no  more 
conscience  of  sins.  But  In  those 
sacrifices  there  is  a  remembrance 
again  made  of  sins  every  ye(*. 
For  it  is  not  pos>ible  that  the 
blood  of  bulls  and  of  goats  should 
take  away  sins.  By  the  which 
win  we  are  sanctified,  through  the 
offering  of  the  body  of  Jesus 
Christ  once  for  all.  And  every 
priest  standeih  daily  ministering, 
and  offering  oftentimes  the  same 
sacrifices,  which  can  never  take 
away  sins.  And  thehr  shis  and  In- 
qulties  will  I  remember  no  more. 
Now,  where  remission  of  these  is, 
there  is  no  more  offering  for  sin. 
Having  therefore,  brethren,  bold- 
ness to  enter  into  the  holiest  by 
the  blood  of  Jesus,  And  having  s,n 
high  priest  over  the  house  of  God; 
Let  us  draw  near  with  a  true 
heart,  in  full  assurance  of  faith, 
having  our  hearts  sprinkled  from 
on  evil  conscience,  and  our  bodies 
washed  with  pure  water. 

Heb.  xiU,  10-12.  We  have  an 
altar,  whereof  they  have  no  right 
to  eat  which  serve  the  tabernacle. 
For  the  bodies  of  those  beasu, 
whose  blool  is  brought  into  the 
sanctuary  by  the  blgh  priest  for 
sin,  are  burned  without  the  camp. 
Wherefore  Jesns  also,  ttxat  he 
might  sanctify  the  people  with 
his  own  blood,  suffered  without 
the  gate. 

Eph.  V  2,  25-27.  And  walk  In 
love  as  Christ  also  hath  loved  us, 
and  hath  given  himself  for  us  on 
offering  and  a  sacrifice  to  God  for 
a  sweet-smelllDg  savour.  Hus- 
bands, love  your  wives,  even  as 
Chri&t  also  loved  the  church,  and 
gave  hhnself  for  It;  That  he 
might  sanctify  and  cleanse  it  wltii 
the  woshlng  of  water  by  the  word; 
That  he  might  present  It  to  him- 
self a  glorious  church,  not  hav- 
ing spot,  or  wrinkle,  or  any  such 
thing;  but  that  it  siionld  be  holy

thou  didst  not  desire;  mine  ears 
hast  thou  opened:  burnt-offering 
and  filn-offetlng  hast  thou  not  re^

in  the  volume  of  the  book  it  is 
written  of  me,  I  delight  to  do  thy 
will,  O  my  God;  yea,  thy  law  is 
within  my  heart. 

Dan.  Ix,  27.  And  he  shall  con- 
form the  covenant  with  many  for 
one  week:  and  In  the  midst  of  the 
week  he  shall  cause  the  sacrifice 
and  the  oblation  to  cease,  and  for 
the  over-spreading  of  abomina- 
tions he  shall  make  it  desolate, 
even  until  the  consummation,  ana 
that  determined  sbaU  be  poured 
upon  the  desolate. 

ffeb.  ix,  26, 26.  Nor  yet  that  he 
should  offer  himself  often,  as  the 
high  priest  entereth  into  the  holy 
place  every  year  with  blood  of 
others;  (For  then  must  he  often 
have  sufiered  since  the  founda- 
tion of  the  world;)  but  now  once 
in  the  end  of  the  world  hath  he 
appeared,  to  put  away  sin  by  the 
sacrifice  of  himself. 

Beb.  X,  6-8,  14.  Wherefore, 
when  he  cometh  into  the  wurld, 
he  saith,  Sacrifice  and  offering 
thou  wouldest  not,  but  a  body 
hast  thou  prepared  me:  In  burnt- 
offerings  and  sacrifices  for  sin 
thou  hast  had  no  pleasure:  Then 
said  I,  Lo,  I  come  (in  the  volume 
of  the  book  it  is  written  of  me)  to 
do  tby  will,  O  God.  Above,  when 
he  said,  Sacritlce,  and  ofTcring, 
and  bumt-offeiings,  and  oftring 
lor  sin,  tbou  wouldest  not,  neither 
badst  pleasure  therein;  (which 
are  offered  by  the  la«:)  Then 
said  he,  Lo,  1  come  to  do  thy  will, 
q  God.  He  taketh  away  the  first, 
that  he  may  eslahlisli  the  second. 
For  by  one  offering  he  hath  per- 
fected for  ever  them  thut  ore

SUBSTITUTIONARY. 
Isa.  1111,  4-6.  Surely  be  bath 
borne  our  griefs,  and  carried  our 
sorrows:  yet  we  did  esteem  him 
stricken,  smitten  of  God,  and 
afflicted.  But  he  teas  woundad 
tor  our  transgressions,  he  was 
bruised  for  our  iulqultieo:  the 
chastisement  uf  our  peace  was 
upon  him;  and  with  his  smpes  we 
are  healed.  All  we,  like  ulieep,

weak  through  the  flesh,  God 
sending  his  own  Son  in  the  like-

condemned  sin  in  the  flesh.

believed  In  Jesus  Christ,  that  we 
might  be  Justified  by  the  faith  of 
CItrist,  and  not  by  the  works  of 
the  law:  for  by  the  works  of  tho

If,  while  we  seek  to  be  Justified  by 
Christ,  we  ourselves  also  are 
found  sinners,  is  therefore  Christ 
the  minister  of  ein?  God  forbid. 
I  do  not  frustrate  the  grace  of  Ood:

God,  and  it  was  counted  unto  him 
for  righteousness.  And  there-

righteousness.

ed to  him  for  righteousness. 
Know  ye  therefore  that  they 
which  are  of  faith,  the  same  are 
the  children  of  Abraham.  And 
the  scripture,  foreseeing  that  God 
would  Justify  the  heathen  through 
faith,  preached  before  the  gospel 
unto  Abraham,  saying,  In  thee 
shall  all  nations  be  blessed.  So 
then  they  which  be  of  faith  are 
blessed  with  faithful  Abraham.

of  God.

as  he  llveth? 

Bom.  xi,  &  And  if  by  grace,

otherwise  grace  Is  no  more  grace. 
But  If  ft  be  of  works,  then  is  it  no

Cursed  is  every  one  that  contlnn- 
eth  not  In  all  things  which  are 
written  in  the  book  of  the  law  to 
do  them.  But  Mizl  no  man  Is 
Justified  by  the  law  In  the  sight 
of  Qod,  it  is  evident:  for.  The 
Just  shall  live  by  faith.  And  the 
law  is  not  of  fiadtlu  but.  The  man 
that  doeth  them  shall  live  in 
them.  Is  the  law  then  nguliist 
the  promises  of  God?  God  lurbid: 
for  if  there  had  been  a  law  given 
which  could  have  given  life, 
verily  righteotuness  should  have  • 
been  by  the  law.  * 

GaL  Iv,  21-23.  Tell  me,  ye  that  k 
desire  to  be  under  the  law,  do  ye 
not  hear  the  law?  For  it  is  writ- 
ten, that  Abraham  had  two  sons, 
the  one  by  a  bond  maid,  the  other 
by  a  free  woman.  But  ho  trAo 
was  of  the  bond  woman  was  bom 
after  the  flesli;  but  he  of  the  tree 
woman  teas  by  promise. 

Od.  T,  4.  Christ  Is  become  of 
no  effect  uoto  you,  whosoever  of 
you  are  Justified  by  the  law;  ye 
are  fallen  from  grace. 

Eph.  11,  9.  Not  of  works  lest 
any  man  should  boast. 

James  11, 10-12.  For  whosoever 
shall  keep  the  whule  law,  au*l  yet 
ofl'eud  In  ox^t  point,  he  is  guilty  of 
all.  For  he  that  said,  Du  not 
commit  adultery,  said  also.  Do 
not  kill.  Now,  If  thuu  commit  no 
adultery,  yet  it  thou  kill,  thou  art 
become  a  trausgressur  of  the  law. 
So  speak  ye,  and  so  do,  as  they 
tbat  shall  bo  Judged  by  the  law  of 
Uberty.

Prov.  xxl,  29.    A  wicked  man

upright,  he  dlrecteth  his  way. 

'  Jer.  Till,  6.  I  hearkened  and

the  horse  rusheth  into  the  battle. 

ffeb.  vl,  10.  For  God  is  not  un- 
righteous to  forget  your  work 
and  labour  of  love,  which  ye  have 
shewed  toward  his  name,  in  that

and  do  mluist^. 

James  U.  14, 17, 18.  24-26.  What 
doth  U  profit,  my  brethren,  though 
a  man  say  he  hath  faith,  and  have 
not  workt^  can  faith  save  him? 
Even  so  faith.  If  it  hath  not  works, 
is  dead,  l>eing  alone.  Yea,  a  man 
moy  say,  Thou  hast  faith,  and  I 
have  works:  shew  me  thy  faith 
without  thy  works,  and  I  will 
shew  thee  my  faith  by  my  works. 
Ye  see  then  how  that  by  works  a 
man  Is  Justified,  and  not  by  faith 
only.  Likewise  also,  was  not 
Rahab  the  harlot  Justified  by 
works,  wlien  she  had  received  the 
m^sengers,  and  had  sent  them 
but  another  way?  For  as  the 
body  without  the  sph*It  is  dead, 
so  faith  without  works  is  dead 
also. 

Bev.  xxll,  14.  Blessed  are  they

9  Sam.  zxil,  20-SS.  He  brought 
me  forth  also  Into  a  large  plaoe;

me  aooording  to  my  righteousness: 
according  to  the  cleanness  of  my 
bands  hath  he  reoompensed  ma 
For  I  have  kept  the  ways  of  the 
Lord,  and  have  not  wickedly  de- 
parted from  my  Ood.  For  all  his 
Judgments  toere  before  me;  and  as 
for  his  statntes,  I  did  not  depart 
from  them.  I  was  also  upright 
before  him,  and  have  kept  myself 
from  mine  iniquity.  Therefore  the 
Lord  hath  recompensed  me  ac- 
cording to  my  righteousness: 
according  to  my  deanness  in  hii 
eyesight. 

Job  vl,  S9.  Return,  I  pray  yon,

where  I  might  find  himl  that  I 
might  oome  even  to  his  seatl  I 
would  order  my  canse  before  him, 
and  flU  my  month  with  arguments. 
I  would  know  the  words  whloh 
he  would  answer  me,  and  under- 
stand what  he  would  say  nnto 
me.  My  foot  hath  held  his  steps; 
his  way  have  I  kept,  and  not  de- 
clined. 

Job  zxvU,  6, 6.  God  forbid  that 
I  should  justify  you:  tlU  I  die  I

my  heart  shall  not  reproach  me 
so  long  as  I  live.

God  may  know  mine  integrity. 
If  my  step  liath  turned  out  of  the 
way,  and  mine  heart  walked  after 
mine  eyes,  and  if  any  blot  bath 
cleaved  to  mine  hands;  Hienlet 
me  sow,  and  let  another  eat:  yea, 
let  my  oflspi^ff  be  rooted  out. 
Oh  that  one  would  hear  me!  be-

mighty would  answer  me,  and  that 
mine  adversary  bad  written  a

according  to  my  righteousness; 
according  to  the  cleanness  of  my 
hands  hath  he  recompensed  me. 
For  I  have  kept  the  ways  of  the 
Lord,  and  have  not  wickedly  de- 
parted from  my  Ood.  For  all  his 
judgments  were  before  me,  and  I 
did  not  put  away  his  statutes  fh)m

John  xiv,  SO-83.  At  that  day  ye

He  that  hath  my  commandments,

loveth  mo;  and  he  that  loveth  me 
shall  be  loved  ot  my  Father,  and 
I  will  love  him,  and  will  manifest 
myself  to  blm.  Judas  salth  unto

that  thon  wilt  manifest  thyself 
unto  us,  and  not  unto  the  world  f 
Jesus  answered  and  said  unto

will  love  him,  and  we  will  oome 
unto  him,  and  make  our  abode

unto  you,  that  ye  also  may  have 
fellowship  with  us :  and  truly  our 
fellowship  is  with  the  Father,  and 
with  his  Son  Jesus  Christ.  If  we 
say  that  we  have  fellowship  with 
him,  and  walk  in  darkness,  we  lie, 
and  do  not  the  troth. 

£ev.  ill,  ao.  Behold,  I  stand  a»

TO  BEWARE  OP  SIN. 

Psalm  cxIx,  li&  I  hate  vain 
thoughts:  but  thy  law  do  1  love. 

Prop,  vl,  14, 16.  Frowardness  to 
in  his  heart,  he  devlseth  mUuhief 
ctmiinnally;  he  soweth  diocord. 
Therefore  shall  Ids  calamity  come 
suddenly:  suddenly  shall  he  be 
broken  without  temedy. 

Prov.  xll,  6,  6.  The  thoughts  of 
the  righteous  are  right:  tnU  the 
counsels  of  the  wicked  ar«-decelt. 
The  words  of  the  wicked  are  to 
lie  in  wait  for  blood :  but  the 
month  of  the  upright  shall  deliver 
thom. 

Prov,  XV,  26.  The  thoughts  of 
the  wicked  are  an  abomination  to 
the  Loan:  but  the  \oords  of  the 
pure  are  pleasant  w*ords. 

Prov.  xxiv,  8, 0. 11. 12.  He  that 
devlseth  to  do  evil  shall  be  citled 
amlscldevoiA  person.  Thethonght 
of  foolishness  is  sin;  and  the  scor- 
ner  U  an  abomination  to  men.  If 
thou  forbear  to  deliver  tlieni  that 
are  drawn  unto  deatli,  and  thoss 
that  are  ready  to  be  slain;  if  thou 
sayest.  Behold,  we  knew  it  not; 
doth  not  he  that  pondereih  the 
heart  consider  Uf  and  he  that 
keepeth  thy  soul,  doth  not  he 
know  Uf  and  shall  not  he  render 
to  every  man  according  to  his 
works? 

Prov.  xxvlll,  26.  He  that  trusteth 
In  his  own  heart  is  a  fool:  but  who- 
so walketh  wisely,  he  shall  be  de- 
livered. 

Jer.  Iv,  14.  O  Jemsatero,  wash 
thine  heart  from  wickedness,  that 
thou  mayest  be  saved :  how  long 
shall  thy  vain  thoughts  lodge 
wlihin  tiiee? 

Jcr.  vl,  18, 19.  Therefore  heai, 
ye  tuitions,  and  know,  O  congre- 
gation, what  is  among  them. 
Hear,  O  earth:  behold,  I  will  bring 
evil  upon  tills  people,  even  the 
fruit  of  their  thoughts,  because 
they  have  not  hearkened  unto  my 
words,  nor  to  my  Uiw,  but  rejected 
it.

Matth.  xxiv,  42-44.  Watch  there-

this,  that  if  the  goodman  of  the 
house  had  known  In  what  watch 
the  thief  would  come,  he  would 
have  watched,  and  would  not  have 
suffered  bis  house  to  be  brokt>n

Mark  xiU,  83-87.  Take  ye  heed,

Journey,  who  left  his  house,  and 
gave  authority  to  his  servants,  and 
to  every  man  his  work,  and  com- 
manded the  porter  to  watch. 
Watch  ye  therefore;  tbr  ye  know 
not  when  the  master  of  the  house 
cometh,  at  even,  or  at  midnight, 
or  at  the  cock-crowing,  or  in  the 
morning;  Lest,  coming  suddenly,

were  of  the  world,  the  world 
would  love  his  own:  but  because 
ye  are  not  of  the  world,  but  I 
have  chosen  you  out  of  the  world, 
therefore  the  world  hateth  you. 

John  xvii,  14--1&  I  have  given 
them  thy  word;  and  the  world

shouldest  take  them  out  of  the 
world,  but  that  thou  shouldest 
keep  them  ttom  the  evil.  They 
are  not  of  the  world,  even  as  I  am 
not  of  the  world.  Sanctify  them 
through  thy  truth:  thy  word  Is 
truth.  As  thou  hast  sent  me  into

James  Iv,  4.  Ye  adulterers  and

tliongh  I  have  the  gift  of  ^ro^ki^cy.

stow  all  my  goods  to  feed  the  poor, 
and  though  I  give  my  body  to  be 
burned,  and  have  not  charity.  It 
proflteth  me  nothing.  Charity 
soffereth  long,  and  Is  kind;  charity 
envleth  not;  charity  vauuteth  not 
itself.  Is  not  puffed  np.  Doth  not

For  we  know  in  part,  and  we  pro- 
phesy in  part.  But  when  that 
which  Is  perfect  is  come,  then 
that  which  is  in  part  shall  be  done 
away.  And  now  abideth  faith,

Exod.  xvl,  6, 22-30.  And  It  shall 
come  to  pass,  that  on  the  sixth  day 
they  shall  prepare  that  which  they 
bring  In;  and  It  shall  be  twice  as

It  came  to  pass,  that  on  the  sixth 
day  they  gathered  twloe  as  much 
bread,  two  omers  for  one  man: 
and  all  the  rulers  of  the  congrega- 
tion came  and  told  Moses.  And 
he  said  unto  them.  This  U  that 
which  the  Loan  bath  said,  To-

which  ye  will  bake  to-day:  and 
seethe  that  ye  will  seethe;  and 
that  which  remaineth  over  lay  up 
for  you  to  be  kept  until  the  morn-

morning,  as  Moses  bade:  and  It

Six  days  ye  shall  gather  It;  but  on 
the  seventh  day,  tofticA  ia  the  sab-

And  it  came  to  pass,  that  there 
went  out  some  of  the  people  on 
the  seventh  day  for  to  gather,  and 
they  found  none.  And  the  Lobd 
said  unto  Moses,  How  long  refuse 
ye  to  keep  my  commandments  and 
my  laws?  See,  for  that  the  Lobd 
hath  given  you  the  sabbath,  there- 
fore he  giveth  you  on  the  sixth 
day  the  bread  of  two  days :  abide 
ye  every  man  in  bis  place ;  let  no

not  read  in  the  law,  how  that  on 
the  sabbath-days  the  priests  in 
the  temple  profone  the  sabbath, 
and  are  blameless?  And,  behold, 
there  was  a  man  which  had  his 
hand  withered.  And  they  asked 
hhn,  saying.  Is  it  lawfhl  to  heal  on 
the  sabbath  days?  that  they  might 
accuse  him.  And  he  said  unto 
them.  What  man  shall  there  be 
among  yon,  that  sbaU  hare  one 
Sheep,  and  if  it  fall  Into  a  pit  on  the 
sabbath  day.  wiU  he  not  lay  hold

then  is  a  man  better  than  a  sheep? 
Wherefore  it  Is  lawfhl  to  do  well 
on  the  sabbath  days.

nnto  them,  I  will  ask  you  one

ore  six  days  in  which  men  ought 
to  work:  in  them  therefore  come 
and  be  healed,  and  not  on  the

answered  hhn,  and  said,  Xhou 
hypocrite,  doth  not  each  one  of 
you  on  the  sabbath  loose  his  ox

That  the  Son  of  man  is  Lord  also

Lam.  1,  7.  Jemsalem  remem- 
bered in  tbe  days  of  her  affiiction, 
and  of  her  miseries,  all  ber  pleas- 
ant things  that  she  liad  in  tbe 
days  of  old,  when  her  people  fell 
into  the  hand  of  the  enemy,  and 
non^  did  help  her;  tbe  adversaries 
saw  her,  and  did  moclL  at  her 
•abbatbs. 

Szek.  xz,  21.  Notwithstanding 
the  children  rehelied  against  me : 
they  walked  not  In  my  statutes, 
neither  Icept  my  Judgmenta  to  do 
them,  which  ifsL  man  do,  he  shall 
even  live  in  them;  they  polluted 
my  sabbaths:  then  I  said,  1  would 
pour  out  my  fury  npon  them,  to 
accomplish  my  anger  against  them 
tn  the  wilderness. 

£iBek.  zxil,  a  Thou  hast  despised

PENALTY  AGAINST 
SABBATH  BBEAKERS. 

Bxod.  zxxi,  14, 16.  Ye  shall  keep 
the  sabbath  therefore;  for  it  ia 
holy  unto  you:  every  one  that  de- 
flletb  it  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death:  for  whosoever  doeth  any 
work  therein,  that  soul  shall  be 
cut  off  from  among  bis  people. 
Six  days  may  work  be  done ;  but 
in  tbe  seventh  is  the  sabbath  of 
rest,  holy  to  the  Lokk  whosoever 
doeth  any  work  in  the  sabbath- 
day,  be  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death. 

Jfum.  XT,  82-88.  And  while  the 
children  of  Israel  were  in  the 
wilderuess,  they  found  a  man  Uiat 

Fathered  sticks  upon  the  sabbath- 
ay.  And  they  that  found  him 
gathering  sticks  brought  him  unto 
Hoses  and  Aaron,  and  unto  all 
the  congregation.  And  they  put 
him  in  ward,  because  it  was  not 
declared  what  should  bo  done  to 
hlia.  And  the  Loan  said  nnto 
Moses,  The  man  shall  be  sure^ 


put  to  death:  an  tbe  congregation 
shall  stone  him  with  stones  with- 
out the  camp.  And-  all  the  con- 
gregation brought  him  without 
the  camp,  uid  stoned  him  with 
stones,  and  be  died;  as  the  Loan 
commanded  Mosei. 

Jer.  xvil,  37.  But  If  yon  wlU  not 
hearken  nnto  me  to  hallow  the 
sabbath-day,  and  not  to  bear  a 
burden,  even  entering  in  at  the 
gates  of  Jemsalem  on  the  sab- 
bath-day, then  wUl  I  kindle  a  fire 
in  the  gates  thereof,  and  it  shall 
devour  the  palaces  of  Jerusalem, 
and  it  shall  not  be  quenched. 

Lam.  II,  8.  And  he  hath  violent- 
ly taken  away  his  tabernacle,  as 
(/'  it  were  of  a  garden:  he  hath 
deatroyed  his  places  of  the  assem- 
bly: the  Loan  hath  caused  the 
solemn  feasts  and  sabbaths  to  be 
forgotten  In  Zlon,.  and  bath  de-

anger,  the  king  and  the  priest.

FBOMISES  TO  SABBATH 
KEEPERS. 

ISO.  Ivl.  8-7.  Blessed  isihe  man 
that  doeth  this,  and  the  son  of  man 
that  layeth  hold  on  it;  that  keep- 
eth  tbe  sabbath  from  polluting  it, 
and  keepeth  his  hand  from  doing 
any  evlL  Neither  let  the  son  of 
the  stranger,  that  hath  joined  him- 
self to  the  Loan,  speak,  saying. 
The  Lord  hath  utterly  separated 
me  from  his  people:  neither  let 
the  eunuch  say.  Behold,  I  am  a  dry 
tree.  For  thus  saith  the  Loan 
nnto  the  eunuchs  that  ke«p  my 
sabbaths,  and  choose  the  things 
that  please  me,  and  take  hold  of 
my  covenant;  Even  unto  them 
will  I  give  in  mine  house,  and 
within  my  walls,  a  place  and  a 
name  better  than  of  sons  and  of 
daughters:  I  will  give  them  an 
everlasting  name,  that  shall  not  be 
cut  off:  Also  the  sons  of  the 
stranger,  that  Join  themselves  to 
the  Loao,  to  serve  bim,  and  to 
love  the  name  of  the  Lord,  to  be  his 
servants,  every  one  that  keepeth 
the  sabbath  ftrom  polluting  it,  and 
taketh  hold  of  my  covenant;  Even 
them  will  I  bring  to  my  holy 
mountain,  and  make  them  Joyful 
in  my  hou«e  of  prayer,  their  burnt 
offerings  and  their  aacrlflces  s/^oU 
he  accepted  upon  mine  altar;  for 
mine  house  shall  be  called  an 
house  of  prayer  for  aU  people. 

Isa.  Ivlil,  13,  14.  If  thou  turn 
away  thy  foot  from  the  sabbath, 
from  doing  thy  pleasnre  on  my 
holy  day;  and  call  the  sabbath  a 
delight,  the  holy  of  the  Lord, 
honourable;  and  shalt  honour  btm, 
not  doing  thine  own  ways,  nor 
finding  thine  own  pleasure,  nor

Shalt  thou  delight  thyself  In  the

npon  the  high  places  of  the  earth, 
and  feed  thee  with  the  heritage  or 
Jacob  thy  fothen  for  the  month 
of  the  Loan  hath  spoken  it. 

Jer.  xvU,  24,  26.  And  it  sbaH 
come  to  pass,  If  ye  diligently 
hearken  imto  me,  salth  the  Loao^ 
to  bring  in  no  burden  through  the 
gates  of  this  city  on  the  sabbath- 
day,  but  hallow  tbe  sabbath-day. 
to  do  no  work  therein;  Then  sliall 
there  enter  Into  the  gates  of  this 
city  kings  and  princes  sitting  upon 
the  throne  of  David,  riding  in 
chariots  and  on  horses,  they,  and 
their  princes,  the  men  of  Judab, 
and  the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem; 
and  this  city  shall  remain  for  ever. 

SABBATH  KEPT  IN  THE 
LETTER. 

Neh.  X,  81.  And  if  the  people  of 
the  land  bring  ware,  or  any 
victuals,  on  the  sabbath-day  to 
sell,  that  we  would  not  buy  it  of 
them  on  the  sabbath,  or  on  the 
holy-day;  and  that  we  would  leave 
the  seventh  year,  and  the  exaction 
of  every  debt. 

Neh.  xlil,  19-22.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  that  when  the  gates  of  Jem- 
salem began  to  be  dark  before 
the  sabbath,  I  commanded  that 
the  gates  should  be  shbt,  and 
charged  that  they  should  not  be 
opened  till  after  the  sabbatb:  and 
some  of  my  servants  set  I  at  the 
gates,  Vuxt  there  should  no  burden 
be  brought  In  on  the  sabbath  day. 
So  the  merdianta,  and  sellers  of 
all  kind  of  ware,  lodged  without 
Jemsalem  once  or  twice.  Then  I 
testified  against  them,  and  said 
unto  them,  Whv  lodge  ye  about 
tbe  wall?  if  ye  do  so  again,  I  wiU 
lay  bands  on  you.  From  that  time 
forth  came  theyno  more  on  the  sab- 
bath. And  I  commanded  tbe  Le- 
vltee  that  they  should  deanso 
themselves,  and  that  tbey  should 
come  and  keep  the  gates,  to  sanc- 
tify the  sabbath  day.  Remember 
me,  O  my  God,  concerning  thia 
also,  and  spare  me  accordUig  to 
the  greatness  of  thy  mercy. 

Ajrn  TO  BS  also  Kept  in  Spibtt. 

Isa.  i,  18.  Bring  no  more  vain 
oblations:  incense  is  an  abomina^ 
tion  nnto  me;  tlio  new-mooua  and 
sabbaths  the  calling  of  assemblies, 
I  cannot  away  with:  it  is  Iniquity, 
even  the  solemn  meeting.

Leo.  zxy,  8-7,  20-89.  Speak

unto  the  land  which  I  give  yon, 
then  shall  tlie  land  keep  a  sab-

unto  all  the  InhabiUnts  thereof: 
It  shall  be  a  Jubilee  unto  you;  and 
ye  shall  return  every  man  unto

A  Jubilee  shaU  that  fiftieth  year

neither  reap  that  which  growetb

For  it  is  the  Jubilee;  it  shuil  be

Increase  thereof  out  of  the  field. 
In  the  year  of  this  Jubilee  ye  shall

the  Jews  that  were  at  Sbnshan  aa> 
sembled  together  on  the  thirteenth 
day  thereof,  and  on  the  fourteenth 
thereof;  and  on  the  fifteenth  dav 
of  the  same  they  rested,  and  made 
It  a  day  of  feasting  and  gladness. 
Therefore  the  Jews  of  the  villages 
that  dwelt  In  the  nnwalled  towns, 
made  the  fourteenth  day  of  the 
month  Adar  a  dav  of  gladness  and 
feasting,  and  a  good  day,  and  of

To  stablish  thts  among  them,  that 
they  should  keep  the  fourteenth'

fifteenth  day  of  the  same,  yearly. 
As  the  days  wherein  the  Jews 
rested  from  their  enemies,  and  the 
munth  which  was  turned  unto 
them  from  sorrow  to  joy.  and 
from  mourning  Into  a  good  day, 
that  they  should  maite  them  days 
of  feasting  and  joy,  and  of  sending 
portions  one  to  another,  and  gifts 
to  the  poor.  And  the  Jews  under- 
took to  do  as  they  had  begun,  and 
as  Mordecai  hud  written  unto 
them;  because  Ilaman,  the  son  of 
Hammedatha,  ilie  Agagtte,  the

of  this  letter,  and  qf  that  which 
they  had  seen  concerning  this 
matter,  and  which  bad  come  unto 
them,  The  Jews  ordained,  and 
took  upon  them,  and  upon  their 
seed,  and  upon  all  such  as  joined 
themselves  nnto  them,  so  as  it 
should  not  fail,  that  they  would 
keep  these  two  days  according 
to  their  writing,  and  according 
to  their  appotnted  time;  every 
vear,  And  that  these  days  8hovld 
be  remembered  and  kept  through- 
out every  generation,  every  fa- 
mily, every  province,  and  every 
city;  and  that  these  days  of  Purlm 
should  not  fall  from  among  the 
Jews,  nor  the  memorial  of  them 
perish  from  their  seed.  Then 
Bather  the  queen,  the  daughter  of 
Abiball,  and  Mordecai  the  Jew, 
wrote  with  all  authority,  to  con- 
firm this  second  letter  of  Purim. 
And  he  sent  the  letters  unto  ail 
the  Jews,  to  the  hundred  twenty 
and  seven  provlnues  of  the  king- 
dom of  Ahasnerus,  with  words  of 
peace  and  truth.  To  oonflrm  these 
days  of  Purlm  In  their  limes  ap-

G^al.iv,9,  10.  Bat  now,  after

rather  are  known  of  God,  how

I  come  before  tbe  Lord,  and  bow 
myself  before  t^e  high  God?  shall 
I  come  before  him  with  burnt- 
offerings,  with  calves  of  a  year 
old?  WlU  tbe  Lord  be  pleased 
with  thousands  of  rams,  or  with 
ten  thousands  of  rivers  of  oil? 
shall  I  give  my  flrst-bom/or  my 
transgression,  the  fruit  of  mj 
body /or  Um  sin  of  my  soul? 

Fs.  II,  17.  The  sacrifices  of  God 
are  a  broken  spirit:  a  broken  and 
a  contrite  heart,  O  Qod,  thon  wUt 
not  despise. 

Fom.  xU,  1.  I  beseech  yon 
therefore,  brethren,  by  the 
mercies  of  God,  that  ye  present 
your  bodies  a  living  sacrifice, 
holy,  acceptable  nnto  God,  wUcM 
is  your  reasonable  service. 

ffeb.  xill.  10. 15, 16.  We  have  an 
altar,  whereof  they  have  no  right 
to  eat  which  serve  tbe  tabemade. 
By  him  therefore  let  us  offer  tbe 
sacriflce  of  praise  to  God  con- 
tinually, that  is,  the  fruit  of  our 
lips  giving  thanks  to  bis  name. 
But  to  do  good  and  to  communi- 
cate forget  not;  for  with  such 
sacrifices  God  Is  well  pleased.

Hath  tlie  Lord  as  great  delight  in

In  obeying  the  voice  of  the  Loan? 
Behold,  to  obey  is  better  than 
sacrifice,  and  to  hearken  than  the 
fat  of  rams. 

Fs,  1, 7-14.  Hoar,  0  my  people, 
and  I  will  speak;  O  Israel,  and  I 
will  testify  against  tbee:  I  am 
God,  even  thy  God.  I  will  not  re- 
prove thee  for  thy  sacrifices,  or 
thy  burnt.offerings,  to  have  been 
continually  before  me.  I  wUl 
uke  no  bullock  out  of  thy  bouiie^ 
nor  he-goats  out  of  thy  folds:  For 
every  beast  of  tbe  forest  is  mine. 
and  the  cattle  upon  a  thousand 
hills.  I  know  all  tbe  fowls  of  the 
mountains;  and  the  wHd  beasts  of

hungry,  I  would  not  tell  thee:  for 
tbe  world  is  mine,  and  the  fblnesS

Offer  unto  God  Uiauksgiving;  and

Prov.  Ti,  23.  For  the  command'

came  it  unto  you  only  1  If  any 
man  think  himself  to  be  a  prophet, 
or  spiritual,  let  him  acknowledge 
that  the  things  that  I  write  unto 
you  are  the  commandments  of  the 

1  Thess,  il,  18.  For  this  cause 
also  thank  we  Qod  without  ceas- 
ing, because,  when  ye  received, 
the  word  of  God  which  ye  heard 
of  us,  ye  received  it  not  eu  the 
word  of  men,  but  (as  it  is  in  truth) 
the  word  of  Goa,  which  effec- 
tually worketh  also  in  you  that 
Ijeileve. 

2  Tlm.iil,  18.  All  scripture  is 
given  by  inspiration  of  God,  and 
is  profitable  for  doctrine,  for  re-

In  a  dark  place,  unUl  the  day 
dawn,  and  the  day-star  arise  in 
your  hearts:  Knowing  this  first, 
that  no  prophecy  of  the  scripture 
Is  of  «ny  private  interpreUUon. 
For  the  prophecy  came  not  in  old 
time  by  the  will  of  man ;  but  holy 
men  of  God  spake  as  they  were 
moved  by  the  Uoly  Gbost.

Prop.  xtH,  9,  27,  28.  He  that

James  1, 19.  26.  Wherefore,  my

brldleth  not  his  tongue,  but  de- 
oelveth  his  own  heart»  this  man's

Jemes  ill,  6,  ^  &  B?en  so  the

Prov.  X,  11, 19-21.  The  mouth  of 
%  rig:hteons  man  la  a  well  of  life: 
but  Ylolence  ooveretb  the  mouth 
of  tho  wicked.  In  the  multitude 
of  words  there  wafat«th  not  sin: 
but  he  tliat  refraineth  his  lips  is 
wi^e.  The  tongue  of  the  Just  is 
as  choice  silver:  the  heart  or  the 
wicked  is  little  worth.  The  lips 
of  the  righteous  feed  many:  but 
fi>ols  die  tor  want  of  wisdom. 

Prov.  xii,  22, 23.  Lying  lips  an 
Abomination  to  the  Loan:  but  they 
that  deal  truly  are  his  delight.  A 
prudent  man  ooncealetb  know- 
ledge:  but  the  heart  of  Ibols  pro- 
claimeth  foolishness. 

Frov,  xlli,  8, 16.  A  man  shall 
eat  good  by  the  fra\t  of  his  mouth: 
but  the  soul  of  the  transgressors 
Shall  eat  violence.  Every  prudent 
man  dealetb  with  knowledge: 
but  a  (eol  layeth  open  his  folly. 

Frov.  XT,  1*4, 7, 28.  A  soft  answer 
tnmeth  away  wrath:  but  grioTona 
words  stir  up  anger.  The  tongue 
of  the  wise  nseth  knowledge 
eright:  but  the  mouth  of  fbols 
poureth  out  foolishness.  The  eyes 
of  tbe  Loan  are  in  every  place, 
beholding  the  evil  and  tbe  good. 
A  wholesome  tongue  is  a  tree  of 
life:  but  perverseness  therein  <9  a 
breach  in  the  spirit.  The  lips 
of  ihe  wise  disperse  knowledge : 
but  the  heart  of  the  foollsl:  doeth 
not  so.  The  heart  of  the  right- 
eous studleth  to  answer,  but  the 
mouth  of  tbe  wicked  poureth  out 
evil  things. 

Socles,  ix,  17.  The  words  of

that  openeth  wide  his  lips  shall

Frov, x^\,%B, 9,7, 18.  A  fool 
hath  no  delight  in  understanding, 
but  that  his  heart  may  discover  it- 
self. Whenthe  wicked  cometb,  then 
oometh  also  contempt,  and  with 
ignominy  reproach.  A  fool's  lips 
enter  into  contention,  and  his 
mouth  calleth  for  strokes.  A 
fool's  mouth  is  his  destruction, 
and  his  lips  are  the  snare  of  his 
souL  He  that  answereth  a  matter

Frov.  xxlx,  11, 90.  A  fool  utter-

Seest  thou  a  man  that  is  hasty  in

people, saying.  Cnrsed  be  the  man 
that  eateth  any  food  until  even- 
ing, that  I  may  he  avenged  on 
mine  enemies.  So  none  of  the 
people  tasted  any  food.  And  all 
they  o/the  land  came  to  a  wood; 
and  there  was  honey  upon  the 
ground.  And  when  the  people 
were  come  into  the  wood,  behold, 
the  honey  dropped;  but  no  man 
put  hU  hand  to  his  moutli:  for  the 
people  feared  the  oath.  But  Jo- 
nathan beard  not  when  Ids  father 
charged  the  people  with  tbe  oath: 
wlierefore  he  put  forth  the  end  of 
the  rod  that  toos  in  his  hand,  and 
dipped  it  in  an  honeycomb,  and 
pnt  hU  hand  to  his  moutli;  and  his

Cursetl  beihe  man  that  eateth  any

answered  bim.  And  iraul  answer- 
ed, G(»d  do  so  and  more  also:  for 
thou  Shalt  surely  die,  Jonathan. 
And  the  penpie  said  nnio  Saul, 
Shall  Jouailian  dio,  who  hath

be  with  thee,  as  he  hath  been 
with  my  father.  And  Jonathan

c:iu8e  he  loved  him:  for  he  loved 
him  as  he  loved  his  own  soul.

fottably  unto  thy  servants:  lor  I 
swear  by  the  Loan.  If  thou  go  not 
forth,  there  will  not  tarry  one

be  worse  unto  thee  than  all  the 
evil  that  befell  tbee  from  thy

1  Kings  1, 29, 30.  And  the  king 
sware,  and  bald,  As  the  Lord 
Uvcth,  that  hath  redeemed  my

serpent  upon  a  rock,  the  way  of  a 
ship  in  the  midst  of  the  sea,  and 
the  way  of  a  man  with  a  maid. 
For  three  tilings  the  earth  is  dis- 
quieted, and  for  four  toAfcA  it  can- 
not bear;  For  a  servant  when  he

woman  when  site  is  married;  and 
an  handmaid  that  is  heir  to  her

which  are  little  npon  the  earth

shall  speak  to  you  either  by  reve- 
Utlon,  or  by  knowledge,  or  by 
prophesying,  or  by  doarlne?    So 
likewise  ye,  except  ye  utter  by 
the  tongue  words  easy  to  he  tm- 
derstood,  how  shall  It  be  known 
what  is  spoken?  for  ye  shall  speak 
Into  the  ahr.  Wherefore  let  him 
that  speaketh    in   «n    unkown 
tongue  pray  that  he  may  faiterpret. 
For  If  I  pray  In  on  unknown 
tongue,  my  spirit  prayeth,  but  mr 
understanding  Is  unfruitful.  Else, 
when  thou  shalt  bless  with  the 
spirit,  how  shall  he  that  occupieth 
the  room  of  the  unlearned  say 
Amen  at  tby  giving  of  thanks, 
seeing  be  nuderstandeth  not  what 
ihon  sayestf    For  thou  verily 
givest  thanks  well,  bnt  the  other

speak  with  tongues  more  than  ye

How  is  It  then,  brethren?  wht  n  ye

about  Kibba. 

Exek.  1, 4-S5  28.  And  I  looked' 
and,  lieiiold,  a  whirlwind  came 
out  of  the  north,  a  great  cl<iud, 
and  a  fire  infoMin.^  Itself,  and  a 
briglitnens  toas  about  it,  and  out 
of  the  midst  tliorcot  us  tlie  colour 
of  amber,  ont  of  liie  iiilUst  ol  the 
flre:  Also  out  ol  the  inidiit  tliereof 
came  liio  llkeuess  of  four  ilvin;? 
cruaiures.  And  this  was  their 
appearance;  they  had  iiie  liken<'K(i 
ol  a  ni.n.  And  every  one  h<d 
lour  lace»,aud  everyone  had  (our 
Ming^  And  I  heir  leet  were 
itrujtfht  leet;  aud  the  sole  of  their 


fe^t  was  like  the  sole  of  a  calPs 
foot:  and  they  sparkled  like  the 
colour  of  bnrnlHhed  bros^.  And 
lAev  had  the  hands  of  a  man  nn^er 
tlielr  wimcs  on  their  four  slde^ 
and  they  four  bul  their  faces  ami 
their  wings.  Their  wings  toere 
Joined  one  to  another,  they  turned 
not  when  they  went;  tliey  went 
every  one  stral}:ht  forward.  As 
for  the  likeness  of  their  faces,  they 
four  had  the  fkce  of  a  man  and 
the  face  of  a  lion  on  the  right  side; 
and  they  four  had  the  faoi  of  an 
ox  on  the  left  side;  they  four  also 
had  tlio  lace  of  an  ouule.  Thus 
tfcre  tlielr  faces:  and  their  wings 
tcere  strotdied  upward;  two  wings 
of  every  one  were  Joined  one  to 
another,  and  two  covered  their 
bodies.  And  they  went  every  one 
siraiglit  fortvard:  whiUier  Uie 
spirit  was  to  go,  they  went;  and 
they  turned  not  when  they  went. 
As  for  the  likeness  of  the  living 
creatures,  their  appearance  was 
like  burning  coals  of  tire,  and  like 
the  appearance  of  lamps:  it  went 
up  and  down  among  the  living 
creatures;  and  the  fire  was  bright, 
and  ont  of  tho  Are  went  forth 
lightning.  And  the  living  crea- 
tures run  and  returned  as  the  ap- 
pearance of  a  fl  ish  of  lightning. 
Now,  as  1  beheld  the  living  crea- 
tures, behold  one  wheel  upon  the 
earth  by  the  living  creatures,  with 
his  lour  laces.  The  appearance  of 
the  wheels  and  their  work  was 
like  unto  the  colour  of  a  beryl; 
and  they  four  iiad  one  llkoneMs; 
and  their  appearance  and  their 
work  was  as  it  were  a  wheel  In 
the  middle  of  a  wheel.  When 
they  wont,  they  went  upon  their 
four  £id<  s;  €md  they  turned  not 
when  they  went.  As  for  their 
rings,  they  were  to  higli  that  they 
were  dreadful;  and  their  rings 
were  full  of  eyis  round  about 
them  four.  And  when  the  living 
creatures  went,  tbe  wheels  went 
by  them;  and  when  the  living 
creatures  were  lilted  up  Inim  the 
earth,  the  wheels  were  lilted  up. 
WhiLhersuever  thn  spirit  was  to 
go,  they  went,  thltiier  was  tfteir 
spirit  to  g.»;  and  Uie  wheel*  were 
lifted  up  over  aguin^^t  them:  for 
the  spirit  of  the  llvin:;  creature 
was  In  the  wheels.  When  Uiose 
went,  Utese  went;  and  when  those 
hlood,  these  at  ooii;  and  when  those 
were  lilted  up  from  the  earth,  the 
win  eiM  were  l.fed  up  over  against 
them:  lor  the  spirit  of  the  living 
cr -Btnro  was  In  the  wheels.  And 
t^e likeness  ol  the  fli  mamenl  up>*n 
t  le  iieatls  of  the  living  creature 
icas  as  the  colour  of  the  terrlide 
cryiital,  slretchetl  forth  ove  their 
heads  tibove.  And  under  the  rtr- 
mameni  tOcre  their  wing « straight, 
the  oiiu  toward  the  other:  eveiy 
•  •ne  li  id  two,  whhli  covered  on 
t>ls side, and  eveiy  one  had  two. 
wulca  covered  on  uiai  side,  their 
688 


bodlea.  And  when  they  went,  1 
heard  the  noise  of  thoir  wings, 
like  the  noisy  of  great  waters,  ub 
the  Tolce  of  Uie  Almighty,  the 
voice  of  speech,  as  the  iioUe  of  an 
host:  when  tliey  stood,  they  let 
down  theh"  wings.  And  there  was 
a  voice  from  the  finnnnont  tliat 
toas  over  their  heads,  when  they 
stood,  and  had  lot  down  their 
wings.  As  the  appearance  of  the 
bow  that  is  in  the  cloud  In  the 
day  'of  rain,  so  loas  the  appear- 
ance of  the  briKhiness  round 
about  This  wa3  tlio  appearance 
of  tho  likeness  of  the  glut  y  of  the 
Loan.  And  when  I  saw  U.  I  fell 
upon  my  face,  and  1  heard  a  voice 
of  one  that  spake. 

-©^  ill,  la  /  heard  also  fh» 
noise  of  the  wingn  of  the  living 
creatures  that  touched  one  an- 
other, and  tho  noise  of  the  whoelg 
over  against  tliem,  and  a  noiso 
of  a  great  rushing. 

Sssek.  Ix,  1-8.  He  cried  also  In 
mine  ears  with  a  lou  I  voice,  say- 
ing, Cause  them  that  have  chnrge 
over  the  city  to  draw  near,  even 
every  man  with  his  destroying 
weapon  in  his  hand.  And,  be- 
hold, six  men  came  from  ihe  way 
of  the  higher  gate,  whicn  lielh 
toward  the  north,  and  every  man 
a  slaoghter-weapon  in  his  hand; 
and  one  man  among  them  toas 
clothed  with  linen,  with  awrAei'g 
ink-horn  hy  bis  fide:  ond  they 
went  in,  and  stood  loslde  the 
brasen  altar.  And  tho  gli»ry  of 
the  God  of  Israel  was  gone  up 
from  the  cherub,  whereupon  he 
w as,  to  tho  threvbold  of  (lie  liou><e: 
and  he  called  to  the  man  clotlied 
with  lln.  n,  which  had  the  writer's 
Inkborn  by  his  side. 

£zek,  X,  1-S2.  Then  I  looked, 
and,  behold,  in  the  Qrumment  that 
was  above  tbe  bead  of  the  che- 
ruhims  there  appeared  over  them 
as  it  were  a  sappidre-stoue,  as  the 
appearance  of  the  Ul^eness  of  a

man  clothed  with  linen,  and  add, 
Uo  in  between  the  wheels,  even 
nuder  the  cherub,  and  fill  ihue 
hand  with  ooals  of  fire  from  be- 
tween the  chernbhiis,  and  scatter 
them  over  tbe  city.  And  he  went 
In  in  my  sight.  Now  tho  che- 
rublins  stood  on  the  rlKht  side  of 
tbe  house  when  the  man  went  in; 
and  the  cloud  filled  the  inner 
court.  Then  the  glory  of  tha 
Loan  went  up  from  the  cherub, 
and  stood  over  the  threshold  of 
the  houj>e;  and  the  houso  wob 
tilled  with  the  coud,  and  the 
court  was  full  of  tho  bri}rhtncssof 
the  Loan's  Klury.  And  the  sound 
ol  the  cherubims*  w  lugs  was  heard 
even  to  the  outer  court,  as  tlia

Said  unto  Natltan  the  propliet, 
See  now,  I  d\rell  In  an  house  of

places  wherein  1  have  walked 
with  all  the  children  of  Israel 
spake  I  a  word  with  any  of  the 
tribes  of  Israel,  whom  I  command- 
ed to  feed  my  people  Israel,  say>

1  Kings  vlli,  16-ia  Shice  the

ple Israel  out  of  E?ypt,  I  chose 
no  city  out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is- 
rael to  bnlid  an  house,  that  my 
name  might  be  thereto;  but  1 
chose  David  to  be  over  my  people 
Israel.  And  it  was  in  the  heart 
of  David  my  father  to  build  an 
house  for  the  name  of  the  Loan 
(iod  of  Israel.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  DavM  my  father.  Whereas  it 
was  In  thine  heart  to  build  an 
house  unto  my  name,  thou  didst 
well  that  it  was  in  ihine  heart. 

1  Chron.  xxii,  5,  7.  And  David 
said,  Solomon  my  son  is  young

day  of  the  sixth  month,  in  the 
second  year  of  Darius  the  king. 

Haggai  II,  3-4.  16,  16,  18,  19. 
Speak  now  to  Zerubbabel  tiie  son 
of  Shealtlel,  governor  of  Jndah, 
and  to  Joshua  the  son  of  Josedech, 
the  hlgli  priest,  and  to  the  residue 
of  the  people,  saying,  Who  is 
left  among  you  that  saw  this  house 
In  her  first  glorjH  and  how  do  ye 
see  it  now?  is  it  not  In  your  eyes 
In  comparison  of  It  as  nothing? 
Yet  now  be  strong,  0  Zerulibabel, 
salth  the  Loao;  and  bo  strong,  O 
Joshua,  son  of  Josedech,  the  high 
priest:  and  be  strong,  all  ye  peo- 
ple 01  tlie  land,  salth  the  Lomo, 
and  work:  for  I  €un  with  you, 
sallb  the  Lord  of  hosts.  And 
now,  I  pray  yon,  consider  fh)m 
this  day  and  upward,  fh>m  before 
a  stone  was  laid  upon  a  stone  In 
the  temple  of  the  Loao;  8lnce 
those  days  were,  when  one  mme 
to  an  heap  of  twenty  measures, 
there  were  but  ten:  when  one 
oame  to  the  press  fat  for  to  draw 
out  fifty  vessels  out  of  the  press, 
there  were  but  twenty.  Consider 
now  from  this  day  and  upward 
from  the  four  and  twentieth  day 
of  the  ninth  month,  even  from  the 
day  that  the  foundation  of  the 
Loao's  temple  was  laid,  consider 
U.  Is  the  seed  yet  in  the  bam? 
yea,  as  yet  the  vine,  and  the  fig- 
tree,  and  the  pomegranate,  and 
the  olive-tree,  hath  not  brought 
forth:  firom  this  day  will  I  bieas 
you. 

Zeeh,  Iv,  9,  10.  The  hAndt  of 
Zerubabbel  have  laid  the  founda- 
tion of  this  bouse;  his  hands  shall 
also  finish  it;  and  thou  shalt  know 
that  the  Loao  of  hosts  hath  sent 
me  onto  you.  For  who  hath  de- 
spised the  day  of  small  things? 
for  they  shall  rejoice,  and  shall 
see  the  plummet  in  the  hand  of 
Zerubbabel  with  those  seven;  they 
are  the  eyes  of  the  Loao,  which 
run  to  and  tro  through  the  whole 
earth. 

Zeeh,  viU,  9,  10.  Thus  salth  the 
Loao  of  hosts,  Let  your  hands  be 
strong,  ye  that  hear  in  these  days 
these  words  by  the  mouth  of  the 
prophets,  which  were  in  the  day 
that  the  foundation  of  the  house 
of  the  LofiO  of  hosts  was  laid, 
that  the  temple  might  be  built. 
For  before  these  days  there  was 
no  hire  f>^r  man,  nor  any  hire  for 
beast;  neither  was  there  any 
peace  to  him  that  went  out  or 
come  in  because  of  the  affliction: 
lor  I  set  all  men  every  one  against 
lilt  neighbour. 

OBSTACLES. 

Eisra  It,  1-6.  Now,  uhen  the 
adversaries  of  Judah  and  Ben- 
jamin heard  that  the  children  of 
the  captivity  bullded  the  temple 
nnto  the  Loao  God  of  Israel; 
Then  they  came  to  Zerubbabel, 
and  to  the  ohlef  of  the  fatheni 
TO6 


and  satd  unto  them.  Let  na  Ynrtld 
with  you:  for  we  w^.k  your  God, 
as  ye  do;  and  we  do  s  icrifioe  unto 
lilm  since  the  days  of  Esar-haddon 
king  of  Assor,  wiiich  brought  us 
up  liltiier.  But  Zerubbabel,  and 
Jeshua,  and  the  rest  of  the  chief 
of  the  fathers  of  Israel,  said  nnto 
them.  Ye  have  nothing  to  do 
with  ns  to  build  an  bouse  unto 
our  God;  but  wo  ourselves  to- 
gether will  build  unto  the  LosD 
God  of  Israel,  as  king  Cyrus  the 
king  of  Pertla  hath  commanded 
us.  Then  the  people  of  the  land 
weakened  the  hands  of  the  people 
of  Judah,  and  troubled  them  in 
building,  And  hired  counsellors 
against  them,  to  frustrate  their 
purpose,  all  the  days  of  Cyrus 
king  of  Persia,  even  until  the 
reign  of  Darius  king  of  Persia. 
And  in  the  reign  of  Ahasuerus.  in

them,  Who  hath  commanded  yoa 
to  build  this  house,  and  to  make 
up  this  wall?  Then  said  we  unto 
them  after  this  manner.  What  are 
the  names  of  tlie  men  that  make 
thto  bunding?  But  the  eye  of  their 
God  was  upon  the  elders  of  the 
Jews,  that  they  could  not  cause 
them  to  cease.  tiU  the  matter  came 
to  Darius:  and  then  they  returned 
answer  by  letter  concerning  this

and  his  companions  the  Aphap- 
sacbites,  which  were  on  this  side

king:  They  sent  a  letter  nnto 
him,  wherein  was  written  thus; 
Unto  Darius  the  king,  all  peace. 
Be  it  known  unto  the  king,  that 
we  went  into  the  province  ot 
Judea,  to  the  house  of  the  great 
God,  which  is  bullded  with  great 
stones,  and  timber  is  laid  in  the 
walls,  and  this  work  goeth  fast 
on,  and  pro«i>ereth  in  their  hands. 
Then  asked  we  those  elders,  and 
said  unto  them  thUAL  Who  com- 
manded yon  to  build  this  houie, 
and  to  make  up  these  walls?  We 
asked  their  names  also,  to  certify 
thee,  that  we  might  write  the 
names  of  the  men  that  were  the 
chief  of  them.  And  thiu  they  re-

length  thereof,  twenty  cubits,  and 
t}ie  breadth  twenty  cubits,  before 
the  temple;  and  be  said  unto  me, 
This  <5  the  most  holy  place.  After 
be  measured  the  wall  uf  the  house 
six  cubits'^,  and  the  breadtb  of 
every  side-chamber  four  cubits, 
round  about  tbe  house  on  every 
side.  And  tbe  side-chambers  leere 
tliree,  one  over  another,  and  thirty 
in  order,  and  they  entered  Into 
the  wall  which  was  of  tbe  bouse 
for  the  side-chambers  roundabout, 
that  they  might  have  hold,  but 
tbey  bad  not  hold  in  tbe  wall  of 
tbe  house.  And  there  was  an  en- 
larging and  a  wlndlog  about  still 
upward  to  the  side-chambers;  for 
tbe  winding  about  of  tbe  bouse 
went  still  upward  round  about 
the  house:  therefore  tlie  breadth 
of  tbe  house  was  stOl  upward,  and 
so  Increased /rom  the  lowest  dkom- 
ber  to  the  highest  by  the  midst. 
The  thickness  of  the  wall,  which 
was  for  the  side-chamber  without, 
teas  five  cubits;  and  that  which 
was  lea  was  tbe  place  of  tbe  side- 
chambers  ihst  were  within.  And 
between  tbe  chambers  was  tbe 
wldeness  of  twenty  cubits  round 
about  the  house  on  every  side. 
And  tbo  doors  of  tbe  slde-cbam- 


bers  were  towsrl  the  place  Cud 
was  left,  one  door  lowunl  tlie 
north,  and  another  door  towurd

place  that  was  left  was  five  cubits 
round  about.  Now  tiie  bull<!lng 
tliat  was  before  the  separate 
place,  at  the  en«i  toward  the  went, 
was  seventy  cubits  broad;  and  iho 
wall  of  tlie  building  teas  five  cu- 
bits thick  round  about,  and  tbe 
length  thereof  ninety  cubits.  So 
he  measured  the  house,  an  hun-

of  the  house  and  of  tbe  separate 
place  toward  tlie  east,  an  hundred 
cubits.  And  he  measured  the 
length  of  tbe  building  over  against 
tlie  separate  place  which  was  be- 
hind It,  and  the  galleries  thereof 
on  the  one  side,  and  on  the  other 
side,  an  hundred  cubits,  with  the 
Inner  temple,  and  the  porches  of 
the  oonr^  The  dooi^posts,  and  the 
narrow  windowa,  and  tbe  galleries 
round  about  on  their  three  stories, 
over  against  the  door,  celled  wttb 
wood  round  about,  and  from  the 
ground  up  to  the  windows,  and 
the  windows  were  covered;  To 
that  above  tbe  door,  even  unto 
the  Inner  bouse  and  without,  and 
by  all  the  wall  round  about,  with- 
in and  without,  by  measure.  And 
U  was  made  with  cherublms  and 
palm-trees,  so  that  a  palm-tree 
was  between  a  cherub  and  a  che- 
rub; and  every  cherub  had  two 
faces ;  So  thai  the  face  of  a  man 
was  toward  the  palm-tree  on  the 
one  side,  and  tbe  face  of  a  young 
li<m  toward  the  palm-tree  on  the 
other  side:  Uwas  made  tlirough 
all  the  bouse  round  about.  From 
the  ground  unto  above  the  door 
were  cherublms  and  palm-treea 
made,  and  on  the  wall  of  the 
temple.  The  pnsts  of  the  temple 
were  squared,  and  tlie  face  of  the 
sanctoarr,  the  appearance  qf  the 
one  as  the  sppeaniuce  qfthe  other. 
The  altar  of  wood  was  tliree  cu- 
bits high,  and  the  length  thereof 
two  cubits;  and  the  oomers  there- 
of, and  toe  length  thereof,  and  the 
walls  thereof,  were  of  wood:  and 
be  said  unto  me.  This  is  the  Uble 
that  is  before  the  Loan.  And  the 
temple  and  the  sanctuary  had  two 
doors.  And  the  doors  hsd  two

bits  breadth  Inward,  a  way  of  one 
cubit;  and  their  doort  toward  the 
north.  Mow  the  upper  chambers 
tffcre  shorter:  for  the  frallerles 
were  higher  than  these,  than  the 
lower,  and  than  the  middlemost 
of  the  building.  For  they  were  in 
three  stories,  but  had  not  pillars 
as  th«  pillars  of  the  courts:  there- 
fore the  buUdinif  was  straitened 
more  than  the  lowest  and  the 
middlemost  from  the  ground. 
And  the  wall  that  toas  without

in  the  outer  court  vxts  fifty  cubits; 
and,  lo,  bi^fore  the  temple  were  an 
hundred  cubi's.  And  from  under 
these  chambers  was  the  entry  on 
the  east  sldo,  as  one  goetU  into 
them  from  the  outer  cunrt.  The 
chaiobtfrs  were  in  the  iiilckness  of 
the  wall  of  tiie  court  t4jward  the 
east,  over  against  the   sepxrato

was  like  the  appoarauce  of  the 
chambers  which  were  toward  the 
north,  as  long  as  tliey.  and  as 
broad  as  they;  and  all  their  goings 
out  were  both  according  to  their 
fashions,  aud  according  to  their 
doors.  And  according  to  the  doors 
of  the  chambers  that  were  toward 
the  south  was  a  door  In  tite  head  of 
the  way,  even  the  way  directly 
before  the  wall  toward  the  ea^t.

Afterward  he  bronght  me  to  the 
gate,  etfen  the  grate  that  looketh 
toward  the  east:  And  the  glory  of 
the  LoBD  came  into  the  house  by 
the  way  of  the  gate  whose  pro- 
spect is  toward  the  east.  So  the 
spirit  took  me  up,  and  brought  me 
into  the  inner  court;  and.  behold, 
the  glory  of  the  Lobd  filled  the 
bouse.  In  their  setting  of  the 
threshold  by  my  thresholds,  and 
their  post  by  my  posts,  and  their 
wall  between  me  and  them,  they 
here  even  defiled  my  holy  name 
by  their  abominations  that  they 
haTe  committed:  wherefore  I  hare 
consumed  them  in  mine  anger. 
Now  let  them  put  away  their 
whoredom,  and  the  circases  of 
their  kings,  far  from  me,  and  I 
win  dwell  in  the  midst  of  them 
foreter.  This  is  the  lawcf  the 
house;  Upon  the  top  of  tho  moun- 
tain the  whole  limit  thereof  round 
about  shall  be  most  holy.  Behold, 
tills  is  tho  law  of  the  house.  And 
these  are  the  measures  of  the 
altar  after  tiie  cubits:  The  cubit  is 
a  cubit  and  an  hand-breadtli;  eren 
the  bottom  shall  be  a  cubit,  and 
the  breadth  a  cubit,  and  tite  bor- 
der thereof  by  tlie  edge  thereof 
round  al)out  shall  be  a  span:  and 
this  shall  be  the  higher  place  of 
the  altar.  And  from  tho  bottom 
upon  the  ground  even  to  the 
lower  settle  shaU  be  two  cubits, 
and  the  breadth  one  cubit;  and 
from  the  lef sur  settle  creti  to  the 
greater  settle  sAail  be  four  cubits, 
and  the  breadtli  07ie  cubit.  So  the 
altar  shaU  be  four  cubits;  and  from 
the  altar  and  upward  shallbe  four 
horns.  And  tlie  altar  shall  be 
twelve  cul}Us  long,  twelve  broad, 
square  in  the  four  siiqnaros  thereof. 
Aud  the  settle  s/uiU  be  fourteen 
cubits  long,  and  fourteen  broad  in 
the  four  equares  t!R'r(•o^.  and  tho 
border  about  it  shall  be  half  a 
cubit;  and  the  bottom  thereof  s/^aU 
be  a  cubit  about;  and  his  stairs 
shall  look  toward  the  cast. 

Esek.  xliv,  1-4,  6-9.  Then  be 
brouglit  me  back  the  way  of  the 
gate  of  tho  outward  sanctuary, 
which  looketh  toward  the  cast, 
and  it  was  shut.  Then  said  the 
Loan  unto  me.  This  gate  shall 
be  shut.  It  shall  not  be  opened, 
and  no  man  shall  enter  in  by  it;

I  looked,  and,  behold,  the  glory  of 
the  Lord  filled  the  house  of  tba 
Loan;  and  I  fell  upon  my  faoa. 
Aud  tboQ  Shalt  say  to  the  rebel-

Thus  salth  the  Lord  Gon,  o  ye

ye  have  brought  into  my  sanctu-

to  be  in  my  sanctuary,  to  pollute

but  ye  have  set  keepers  of  my

No  stranger,  nnclrcumcised    ia

Gen,  xxvlli,  16, 17.  And  Jacob 
awitked  out  of  his  sleep,  and  ho 
said,  Sur^-ly  the  Ix)bd  is  in  this 
place,  and  1  knew  it  not.  And  he 
was  afraid,  and  snlJ,  How  dread- 
ful is  this  place!  thUisnoneoUier 
but  the  house  of  God,  and  this  is 
the  gate  of  heaven. 

£nxtiiI,S.  And  he  said.  Draw 
not  nigh  hither:  put  off  tliy  shoes 
from  olT  thy  feet,  for  the  place 
whereon  thou  standest  is  holy 
ground. 

Exod.  xlx,  «,  13.  23-25.  And 
thou  Shalt  set  bounds  unto  the 
pe<iple  round  about,  sayin?.  Take 
heed  to  yourselves,  that  ye  go  not 
up  into  the  mount,  or  touch  the 
border  of  it:  whosoever  toucheth 
the  mount  shall  be  surely  put  to 
death.  There  shall  not  an  hand 
touch  it,  but  he  shall  surely  be 
stoned,  or  shot  through;  whether 
U  be  beast  or  man,  It  shall  not  U  ve: 
when  the  trumpet  soundeth  long, 
they  shall  come  up  to  the  mount. 
And  Moses  said  unto  the  Loan, 
the  people  cannot  come  up  to 
mount  Sinai :  for  thou  chargedst 
us,  saying.  Set  bounds  about  the 
mount,  and  sanctify  it.  And  the 
LoBD  said  unto  him.  Away,  get 
thee- down,  vnd  thou  shalt  come 
up,  thoQ,  and  Aa<uu  with  thee: 
but  let  not  the  pnes.s  and  the 
people  break  through  to  come  up 
unto  the  Lord,  lest  he  break  forth 
upon  them.  So  Moses  wentdown 
unto  the  people,  and  spake  unto 
them.

Exod,  xxxm.  9, 10.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  as  Moses  entered  into  the 
tabernacle,  the  cloudy  pillar  de- 
scended, and  stood  at  the  door  of 
the  tabernacle,  and  the  LOBD 
talked  with  Moses.  And  all  the 
people  saw  Uie  cloudy  pillar  stand 
at  tlie  tabemacle-doon  and  all  the 
people  rose  up  and  worshipped, 
every  man  in  ^is  tent-door. 

Exod.  xxx\v,2,S.  And  be  ready

neither  let  any  man  be  seen 
tliroughoui  all  the  mount;  neither 
let  the  flocks  and  herds  feed  be- 
fore that  mount. 

Lev.  Ix,  23.  And  Moses  and 
Aaron  went  Into  the  tabernacle  of 
Uie  congregation,  and  came  out, 
and  blHssed  the  petiple:  and  the 
glory  of  tlie  LoBu  appeared  nnto 
all  the  people. 

Lev.  xvl,  2.  And  the  Loan  said 
unto  Mosfs,  Speak  unto  Aaron  thy

times  into  the  ho\y  place  within 
the  vail  before  the  mercy-seat, 
which  is  upon  the  ark,  that  he  die 
not:  for  I  will  appear  in  the  cloud 
upon  the  mercy-seat.

your  God,  and  ye  shall  be  my

Num.  xl,  17.  And  I  will  come

and  I  will  Uke  of  the  spirit  which

IM.  V,  1-7, 10.  Now  will  I  sing 
to  my  well-beloved  a  song  of  my

My  well-beloved  bath  a  vineyard 
In  a  very  fruitful  bill:  And  be 
fenced  it,  and  gathered  out  the 
stones  tliereof.  aud  planted  It  with 
tbe  choicest  vlno.and  built  a  tower 
Id  the  midst  of  It.  and  also  matle 
a  wlne-preiss  therein:  and  he  look- 
ed that  it  should  bring  furtb 
grapes,  and  it  bniught  forth 
wild  grapes.  And  now,  O  Inhabi- 
tants of  Jerusalem,  and  men  of 
Jndab.  Judgf*,  I  pray  you,  betwixt 
me  and  my  vineyard.  "Wliat 
oonld  have  been  done  more  to  my 
vlneyanl,  that  I  have  not  done  in 
111  wherefore,  when  1  looked  that 


It  should  bring  forth  grapes, 
brought  It  forth  wild  irrapetf  And 
now  go  to;  I  wilt  tell  you  what  I 
will  do  to  my  vineyard:  I  will 
take  away  the  hedge  thereof,  and 
it  8biill  be  eaten  up;  aiid  break 
down  the  wall  thereof,  and  It  shall 
Ite  trodden  down:  And  I  will  lay 
it  waste:  It  shall  not  be  pruned 
nor  digjTod;  but  there  shall  come 
up  briers  and  thorns:  I  will  aliio 
command  the  clouds  that  they 
rain  no  rain  upon  It.  For  the 
vineyard  of  tlio  Loan  of  hosts  is 
the  house  of  Israel,  and  the  men 
of  Judah  his  pleasant  plant:  and 
he  looked  for  Judgment,  but  be-

but  behohl  u  cr3'.  Yea,  ten  acres

Jer.  XX xl,  6.  Thou  shslt  yet

MatUu  xxi,  88v  85-41.  Hear  an- 
other  parable:  There  was  a  cer-

about,  and  digged  a  wlne-press  in 
It,  ami  built  a  tower,  and  let  it  out 
to  husbandmen,  and  went  into  a 
far  country.  And  the  husband- 
men took  his  servants,  aud  beat 
one.  and  killed  another,  aud 
stoned  another.  Again,  be  sent 
other  servants  more  than  the  first: 
and  they  did  unto  them  likewise. 
But  last  of  all  he  sent  nnto  them 
bbi  son,  saying.  They  will  rever- 
ence my  son.  Bnt  when  tbe 
husbandmen  saw  tbe  son.  they 
said  atnong  themselves,  This  is 
the  heir,  come,  let  us  kill  blm, 
and  let  us  seize  on  bis  inheritance. 
And  they  caught  him.  and  cast 
htm  out  of  the  vineyard,  and  slew 
him.  When  tbe  lord  therefore  of 
the  vineyard  cometh,  w)iat  will 
be  do  unto  thoso  biubandmen? 
They  say  nnto  bim,  Ue  will 
miserably  destroy  tiiose  wicked 
men,  aud  will  let  out  his  vineyard 
unto  other  hnsbaiidirteu,  which 
shall  render  blm  tho  fruits  In

and  said  to  him.  In  my  dream, 
behold,  a  vino  was  before  mc; 
And  in  the  vine  were  three 
branches:  and  It  was  as  though  It 
budded,  and  lier  blossoms  shot 
forth;  and  tho  chisfers  thereof 
brought  forth  ripe  grapes. 

Num.  xlil,  23,  21.  And  tboy

Toe  place  was  called  the  brook 
Eshcol,  becnnso  of  the  clof<ter  of

Israel  cut  down  from  thence. 

1  Kings  Iv,  25.  And  Judah  and 
Israel  dwelt  safely,  every  man

In  the  third  year  of  the  reign  of

toot  at  SbnshHnmthe  palaoe.wblch

saw  in  a  Tlaion.  and  I* was  by  the 
tlTerofUIal.  The  he-goat  waxed 
▼ery  great:  and  when  he  was 
strong,  the  great  horn  was  broken; 
and  for  It  came  up  fonr  notable 
ones,  toward  the  four  winds  of  hea-

Ibrth  a  Util^  horn,  which  waxed 
exceeding  great,  toivai'<l  the  sont  h. 
and  toward  the  east,  and  toward 
the  pleasant  land.  *  And  it  came 
to  pas8.  when  I. erenl  Daniel  had 
seen  the  Tialon,  and  sought  for

stood  beiere  me  as  the  appear-

of  the  evening  and  the  morning 
which  was  told  is  true:  wherefore 
shut  thou  up  the  vision ;  for  It 
Mhatt  be  for  many  days.  And  I 
Daniel  f<iinted,and  was  sick  certoln 
days:  afterward  I  rose  up.  and  did 
the  king's  business;  and  I  was 
Mtoni!«hed  at  the  vision,  but  none

Am.  z.  1,  1-9.  IB  the  third 
year  ef  Cyras  king  of  Persia  a 
thing  was  revealed  unto  D'lnlel, 
whoMe  name  was  called  Belte* 
shazsar:  and  the  thing  vxu  true, 
but  the  time  appointed  toas  long: 
and  he  understood  the  thing,  and 
bad  nntlerstandlng  of  the  viaion. 
And  I  Daniel  alone  saw  the  vlslom 
for  the  men  that  were  with  me 
saw  not  the  vlaion;  bat  a  great 
qaakiog  fell  upon  them,  so  that 
they  fled  to  hide  themselves. 
Therefore  I  was  left  alone,  and 
saw  this  great  vlaton,  and  there 
remained  no  strength  In  me:  for 
my  oomellneeB  was  turned  in  me 
Into  corruption,  and  1  retained  no 
•trength.  Yet  hea^l  I  the  voice 
of  his  words:  and  when  I  heard

In  a  deep  sleep  on  my  Csoe,  and

Daniel,  whom  tbe  king  named 
Belteshazzar:  now  let  Daniel  be

the  king  spake,  and  said  nnto 
Daniel,  Art  then  that  Daniel,

be  seven  years  of  famine.  This  is 
the  thing  which  I  have  spoken

Behold,  there  come  seven  years

taw  a  dream  wlilch  made  me

tiaabled  me.     That  wen  the 


VISIONS  AKD  DREAM& 

visions  of  mine  head  In  my  bed:  I 
S!iW.  and  behold  a  tree  In  the 
midst  of  the  earth,  and  the  height 
thersof  tons  great.  The  tree 
grew,  and  was  strong,  and  the 
height  thereof  reached  onto  hea- 
ven, And  the  sight  thereof  to  the 
end  bf  all  the  earth.  The  leaves 
thereof  toere  fklr.  and  the  fhilt 
thereof  much,  and  in  It  was  meat 
for  aU:  the  beasts  of  the  field  had 
shadow  under  it,  and  the  fowls  of 
the  heaven  dwelt  in  the  boughs 
theieof,  and  aU  flesh  was  fed  of  It. 
I  saw  In  the  visions  of  my  bead 
upon  my  bed,  and,  behold,  a 
watcher  and  an  holy  one  came 
down  firom  heaveiu  He  cried 
aloud,  and  safd  Urns.  Hew  down 
the  tree,  and  out  olT  his  branchea, 
•hake  off  his  leaves,  and  scatter 
bis  fhilt:  let  the  beasts  get  away 
fh>m  under  it,  and  the  fbwis  from 
his  branohesc  Nevertheless^  kave 
the  stump  of  his  roots  in  the 
earth,  even  with  a  band  of  Iron 
and  braas,  in  the  tender  grass  of 
the  field;  and  let  It  be  wet  with 
the  dew  of  heaven,  and  let  his 
porUuo  be  with  the  beasts  to  the 
grass  of  the  earth:  Let  his  heart 
be  changed  fh>m  man*a,  and  let  a 
beast's  heart  be  given  mito  him; 
and  let  seven  times  pass  over 
him.  This  matter  U  by  the  de- 
cree of  the  watchers,  and  the 
demand  by  the  word  of  the  holy 
ones;  to  the  Intent  that  the  living 
may  know  that  the  most  High 
raleth  In  the  kingdom  of  men, 
and  giveth  it  to  whomsoever  be 
will,  and  setteth  up  over  it  the 
l)ase«t  ot  men.  Thto  dream  1  king 
Nebuchadnt^Bsar  have  seen.  Now 
thou.  O  Belteahauar,  dedare 
the  bterpretatlon  thereof,  foraa- 
mudi  as  oa  the  wise  men  of  my 
kingdom  are  not  able  to  make 
known  unto  me  the  Interpretation: 
but  thou  art  able;  for  the  spirit  of 
the  holy  gods  i*  in  thee.  Then 
Daniel  (whose  name  teas  Belte* 
ahaxnr)  was  aatonled  f  r  one 
hour,  and  his  thoughu  troubled 
hini.  The  king  spuke.and  said, 
Belteshaztar,  let  not  the  dream, 
or  the  Interpretation  thereof, 
trouble  thee.  Belteshanar  an- 
awered  and  said,  My  lord,  the 
dream  be  to  them  that  hate  thee, 
and  the  ioterpretatkin  thereof  to 
itdne  enemies.  The  tree'  that 
thoo  aawssL  which  grsw,  and  wat 


strong,  whose  height  resdiod 
unto  the  heaven,  and  the  alKht 
thereof  to  aU  the  earth;  Whose 
leavea  were  Mr,  and  the  fruit 
thereof  much,  and  in  It  was  meat 
for  all;  und^r  which  the  beasto  of 
the  field  dwelt,  and  upon  whose 
braoches  the  fowls  of  the  heaven 
had  their  habltatlom  It  is  thou,  O 
king,  thnt  art  grown  and  beciMne 
strong!  for  thy  greatness  Is  grown, 
and  re«obeth  unto  heaveo,  and  thy 
dominion  to  the  end  of  the  earth. 
And  whereaa  the  king  saw  a 
watcher  and  an  holy  one  coming 
down  fh>m  heaven,  and  saying. 
Hew  the  tree  down,  and  destroy 
it;  yet  leave  the  atump  of  the 
roots  thereof  in  the  earth,  even 
with  a  band  of  Iron  and  brass.  In 
the  tender  grass  ot  the  field;  and 
let  it  be  wet  with  the  dew  of  hea-, 
ven,  and  kt  his  portion  be  with 
the  beasts  of  the  fidd  till  seven 
times  pass  over  him;  This  is  the 
Interpreutlon.  O  king,  and  this  is 
the  decree  of  the  meet  High  .which 
is  oome  upon  my  lord  the  king.

Joshua  had  done  unto  Jericho,

and  went  and  made  as  if  they  had 
been  ambassadors,  and  took  old 
sacks  upon  theU-  asses,  and  wine- 
bottles,  old,  and  rent,  and  bound

be  come  from  a  fkr  country:  now 
therefore  make  ye  a  league  with

unto  the  Hivites,  Peradventure  ye 
dwell  among  us;  and  how  shall  we 
make  a  league  with  you?  And 
they  said  unto  Joshua^  We  are 
thy  servants.  And  Joshua  said 
luto  them,  Who  are  ye?  and  from 
whence  come  ye?  And  they  said 
unto  him,  From  a  very  tax  country 
thy  servants  are  come  because  of 
the  name  of  the  Loan  thy  God: 
for  we  have  heard  the  fame  of 
hinif  and  all  that  he  did  in  Egypt, 
Wherefore  our  elders,  and  all  the 
inhabitants  of  our  country,  spake 
to  us,  saying,  Take  victuals  with 
yon  for  the  journey,  and  go  to 
meet  them,  and  say  unto  them, 
We  are  your  servants:  therefore 
now  make  ye  a  league  with  us. 

Josh,  z,  6.  And  the  men  of  Gl- 
beon  sent  unto  Joshua  to  the

thy  hand  from  thy  servant^  come 
up  to  us  quickly,  and  save  us,  and 
help  us:  for  all  the  kings  of  the 
Amorltes,  that  dwell  in  the  moun-

courteously  entreated  Paul,  and 
gare  him  liberty  to  go  unto  his 
friends  to  refresh  blmselt  And 
when  we  had  launched  fk-om 
thence,  we  sailed  under  Cyprus, 
because  the  winds  were  contrary. 
And  when  we  had  sailed  oTer  the 
sea  of  CUicU  and  Pampnylia.  we 
came  to  Myra,  a  eUy  ot  Lyda. 
And  there  the  oenturlon  found  a 
ihip  of  AlexaudrU  sailing  into 
Italy:  uid  he  put  us  therein.  And 
wben  we  had  sailed  slowly  many 


WATSB. 

days,  and  scarce  were  oome  trrw 
against  Cnidos,  the  wind  not 
suffering  as»  we  sailed  under 
Crete,  over  against  Salmone; 
And,  hardly  pasnng  it,  came  unto 
a  place  which  la  called  The  Fair 
Havens,  nlgb  wberonnto  was  the 
city  0/  jLasea.  Now,  when  much 
time  was  spent^  and  when  sailing 
was  now  dangerous,  because  the 
Cast  was  now  already  past,  Paul 
admonished  UUm,  And  said  unto 
them.  Sirs,  I  peroeire  that  this 
Toyage  will  be  with  hurt  and 
much  damage,  not  only  of  the 
lading  and  ship,  but  also  of  our 
lives.  And  running  under  a 
certain  Island  which  is  called 
Glanda,  we  had  much  work 
to  come  by  the  boot:  Which 
when  they  bad  taken  up,  they 
used  helps^  nndergirdlng  the  ehlpc 
and,  fearing  lest  they  should  fUl 
Into  the  quicksands,  strake  sail, 
and  so  were  driven.  And  we 
being  exceedingly  tossed  with  a 
tempest,  the  next  dau  they  light- 
ened the  ship;  And  the  third 
day  we  cast  out  with  our  own 
bands  the  tackling  of  the  ship. 
But  when  the  fburteenth  night 
was  oome,  as  we  were  driven  up 
and  down  in  Adria,  about  mid- 
night the  shlpmen  deemed  that 
they  drew  near  to  some  country: 
And  sounded,  and  found  U  twenty 
fathoms:  and  when  they  bad  gone 
a  little  farther,  they  sounded 
again,  and  found  U  fifteen  fitthoms. 
Then  fearing  lest  they  should 
have  fkllen  upon  rocks,  they  cast 
four  anchors  out  of  the  stem,  and 
wished  for  the  day.  And  as  the 
shlpmen  were  about  to  flee  out 
of  the  ship,  when  they  had  let 
down  tbe  boat  into  the  sea,  under 
colour  as  though  they  would  have 
cast  anchors  out  of  the  foreship, 
Paul  said  to  tbe  oenturlon  and  to 
the  soldiers.  Except  these  abide 
In  tbe  ship,  ye  cannot  be  saved. 
Then  the  soldiers  cut  off  the  ropes 
of  tbe  boat,  and  let  her  fall  off. 
And  we  were  In  all  in  tbe  ship 
two  hundred  threescore  and  sixp 
teen  souls.  And  when  tbey  bad 
eaten  enough,  tbey  lightened  the 
ship,  and  cost  out  the  wheat  into 
the  sea.  And  when  It  was  day, 
they  knew  not  tbe  land:  but  tbey 
discovered  a  certain  creek  with  a 
shore,  Into  the  which  they  were 
minded.  If  it  were  possible,  to 
thrust  In  the  ship.  And  when 
they  bad  taken  up  the  anchors, 
tbey  committed  thenuelvei  unto 
tbe  sea,  and  loosed  tbe  rudder- 
bands,  and  holsed  up  the  mtdo- 
san  to  the  wind,  and  made  toward 
shora 

Acts  xxvlU,  11-18.  And  slier 
three  months  we  departed  In  a 
ship  of  Alexandria,  which  bad 
wintered  In  tbe  Isle,  whose  sign 
was  Castor  and  Pollux.  And 
bmdlng  at  Syracuse,  we  tarried 
Utsn  three  daysi  And  from

tbenoo  we  fbtohed  a  oorepasi^ 
and  came  to  Bhegium:  and  after 
one  day  the  south  wind  blew, 
and  we  came  tbe  next  day  to 
PnteoU. 

James  ill,  4.  Behold  also  tba 
ships,  which,  though  they  be  so 
great,  and  are  driven  of  fierce 
winds,  yet  are  they  turned  about

Jonah  I,  4-6,  11.  12.  But  tbe 
Loan  sent  out  a  great  wind  Into 
the  sea,  and  there  was  a  mighty 
tempest  in  the  sea^  so  that  tbe 
ship  was  like  to  be  broken.  Then 
the  mariners  were  afirald,  and 
cried  every  man  unto  his  god,  and 
oast  forth  the  wares  that  were 
in  the  ship  into  the  sea,  to  lighten 
U  ot  them:  but  Jonab  was  gone 
down  taito  tbe  sides  of  the  ship; 
and  he  lay,  and  was  fut  asleep. 
So  the  shipmaster  came  to  hUn, 
and  said  unto  him.  What  meanest 
thou.  O  sleepett  arise,  call  upon 
thy  aod,  if  so  be  that  Gk>d  wiU 
think  upon  ns,  that  we  perish  not. 
Then  said  they  unto  him.  What 
shall  we  do  unto  thee,  that  the 
sea  may  be  calm  unto  us?  (for  the 
sea  wrougfaty  and  was  tempest- 
uous.) And  be  said  unto  them. 
Take  me  up,  and  cast  me  forth 
into  tbe  sea;  so  shall  the  sea  be 
calm  unto  you:  for  I  know  that 
for  my  sake  this  great  tempest  is 
upon  yon. 

Matth.  villi  28-88.  And  when  be 
was  entered  into  a  ship,  his  dis- 
dples  followed  hUn.  And,  be- 
hold, there  arose  a  ^reat  tempest 
In  the  sea,  Insomuch  that  the  ship 
was  covered  with  the  waves:  but 
be  was  asleep.  And  his  disciples 
came  to  Mm,  and  awoke  him,  say- 
ing, Lord,  save  us:  we  perish. 
And  he  saith  unto  them,  Why  are 
ye  fearful,  O  ye  of  little  faltht 
Then  he  arose,  and  rebuked  the 
winds  and  tbe  sea;  and  there  was 
a  great  calm. 

MaUh.  xiv,  24.  But  tbe  ship  was 
now  in  the  midst  of  the  sea.  toss- 
ed with  waves:  for  tbe  wind  was 
contrary. 

Mark  iv,  87.  And  there  arose 
a  great  storm  of  wind,  and  tbe

Mordecai  bowed  not,  nor  did  Mm 
reverence.  Then  the  king's  ser- 
vants, which  were  In  the  king's 
gate,  said  unto  Mordecai,  Why 
transgrettseth  thou  the  king's 
commandments  Now  it  came  to 
pass,  when  they  spake  dally  unto 
him,  and  he  hearkened  not  unto 
them,  that  they  told  Ilaman,  to 
see  whether  Mordeoai's  matters 
would  stJind:  for  be  had  told 
them  that  he  «w«  a  Jew.  And 
when  Haman  saw  that  Mordecai 
bowed  not,  nor  did  him  reverence, 
then  was  Human  full  of  wrath. 
And  he  thonght  scorn  to  lay

my  life  l)e  given  me  at  my  peti-

For  we  are  sold,  I  and  my  pe(»ple, 
to  be  destroyed,  to  be  slain,  and 
to  perish.  But  if  we  had  been  sold 
for  bondmen  and  bondwomen.  I 
bad  held  my  tongue,  although  the

Esther  vili,  16.  17.  The  Jews

soever the  king's  commandment 
and  his  decree  came,  tlie  Jews 
had  Joy  and  gladness,  a  feast  and 
a  good  day.  And  many  of  the 
people  of  the  land  became  Jews; 
for  the  fear  of  the  Jewt  fell  upon 
them.

that  the  enemies  of  the  Jews 
hoped  to  have  powor  over  them, 
(though  it  was  turned  to  the  con- 
trary, that  the  Jews  had  rule  over 
them  that  hated  them.)  For 
Mordecai  vxis  great  in  the  lung's

throughout  all  the  provinces:  for

and  greater.

a  few  moments  are  to  spare,  and  one  or  more  anecdotes  read ;  and  when  one  has  the  mind  well  stored  with  a  choice

him  to  part  with." —  Christian  F^resmasu  \ 

"  A  well-pointed  anecdote  is  often  useful  to  illustrate  an  argument,  and  a  memory  well  stored  with  perwnal  inc>>

do  without  its  immense  fiind  of  sound  maxims,  pungent  wit,  apt  illustrations,  and  brilliant  examples,  tbe  merchant,

fully,  it  w;iij  written  "  to  exhibit  Scripture  doctrine  through  the  medium  of  Scripmre  facts;  to  awaken  the  careless,

KITTOMB  nrCLOP.«DU  OP  BCBLICAL  LITERATUEE. 


From  Pnf»  JV.  Porter,  Yale  Cottege,  JV«ie  Havat,  CL 

I  do  not  hesitate  to  expfrsM  my  belief  that  the  Popular  Cyclopoodia  is  the  beat  work  of  the  kind  in  tie  langnape 
and  is  particularly  well  adapted  to  the  wants  of  Babbath-srhoof  teachers  and  all  the  readers  of  the  Scriptures  w^hc 
wish  to  be  acquainted  with  the  results  of  the  older  and  more  recent  inrestigation  in  respect  to  the  bistury,  aniit|uj- 
ies,  and  criticiam  of  the  Sacred  Scripturea.  N.  Pewter. 

From  Rtv,  E.  A*.  Kirk,  Pastor  of  Jfount  Femon  CongrtgaJtUnud  Clutrek,  BoaUm. 

The  work  is  invaluable  to  the  student  of  the  Bible  who  has  not  access  to  the  standard  woiks  on  laical  literature 
iH  several  languages.  We  have  no  other  in  this  department  to  be  compared  with  it,  far  condensing  the  remits  o^ 
in«)dem  researches  or  Oriental  antiquities  and  topography,  which  are  so  valuable  in  explaining  the  language  of  the 
Bible.  Edward  ftf.  Kirk. 

From  Hon,  Edward  EeertO^  LJL,  !>.,  Bottom, 

I  have  kept  it  on  my  table,  and  have  frequently  rc^rred  to  it ;  and  it  has  been  a  good  deal  read  by  different  mem- 
bers uf  roy  umily.  I  unite  with  them  in  the  opinion  that  it  ia  a  valuable  work,  well  adapted  for  the  above-named 
purpose.  It  aroears  to  embody,  in  a  popular  form,  the  remits  of  much  rraearch,  and  will  promote,  I  doubt  not,  the 
intelligent  reading  of  the  Scriptures.  ^  Edward  EvcreO

I  regard  it  as  a  very  valuable  help  to  the  student  of  the  Bible.  It  brings  to  the  aid  of  the  reading  cominanit}',  in 
an  instructive  and  condensed  fi^rm,  a  rich  treasure  of  hii«turical  and  biblical  literaiurs,  prepared  and  arranged  by 
<«onie  of  the  beet  minds,  and  which  could  othenvisc  be  gained  only  by  a  laborious  and  patient  research,  that  vety 
few  have  the  leisure  to  give  to  the  sul^ect.  No  family  would,  I  think,  ever  regret  the  purcliaso  of  a  book  so  de^erv- 
lug  of  a  household  place.  Theodore  Prelinghuysen.       I 

From  Hon.  John  McLftm,  I^L.  D.,  of  Ohio.  \ 

H  is  only  necessary  to  look  tlirough  this  volume  to»appafciate  its  value.  Although  it  is  an  abridgment  of  the  origi- 
nal work,  it  includes  every  thing  valuable  tn  the  general  reader,  omitting  such  parts  only  of  the  original  as  ccsiW 
he  (tf  little  interest,  except  to  a  theological  st'ident  llicre  U  no  work  I  have  seen  which  contains  so  much  biblical 
knnwl6dge,  alphabetically  arranged  under  appropriate  heads,  in  so  condensed  a  form,  and  which  is  sold  so  ciieap. 
L'lidcr  a  leading  word  is  to  be  found  in  ttiii^  bo<|k,  whether  it  relate  to  namral  science  or  scriptural  illustratian, 
enough  to  Katixfy  every  inquirer.  It  has  been  prepared  with  much  labor  and  research,  and  shows  in  the  autbiHM  a 
profound  knowledge  of  the  languages  in  which  tlie  Scriptures  were  coiujiosed  and  translated,  and  also  of  the  hi<tt>-

I  rejoice  to  see  the  abridgment  out  in  such  beautiful  stvle.  Jis  now  o0bred,  it  fUmishes,  in  convenient  form,  a 
m<tf;t  valuable  auxiliary  to  the  facilities  provided  to  aid.  Sabbath-school  teachers  and  others  in  prosecuting  die 
study  of  the  Scriptures.  The  character  of  the  writers  wliose*  contributions  enrich  this  volume,  is  a  satisfiyrtoiy 
pledge  of  its  literary  merifand  tlieological  soundness.  In  tliis  publication  you  have  rendered  important  serrire  to 
the  cause  of  sacred  literature,  whicJi  will,  I  doubt  not,  be  highly  appreciated.  The  work,  when  known,  will  not 
Hil  to  lind  its  way  into  the  libraries  of  private  Christians,  as  a  compact  and  beautifully  executed  manMot  for  coa- 
!«tant  reference,  as  a  thesaurus  of  most  valuable  information  on  the  numerous  articles  of  which  it  treats.  It  is  Aj  be 
hoped  thai  many  will  thmk  of  it  as  a  rich  new  yearns  present,  that  ^ill  be  specially  acceptable  to  all  who  k>rp  the

I  have  no  hesitaticai  in  recommending  it  as  an  excellent  family  book  for  the  elucidaticm  of  the  sacred  volume,  and 
consequently  fur  filtering  an  interest  in  the  Bible.  It  would  be  invaluable  to  Sabbath-school  teachers,  and  of  peat 
utility  tt)  preachers.  It  every  where  shows  evidence  of  research,  and  is  particular  and  accurate  in  its  details,  eitnoe- 
Huies  exhibiting  in  a  mere  parenthetic  remark  unusual  copiousness  of  information  and  discriminatitm  of  siatemeiit. 
It  employs  appropriate  authorities,  both  less  and  more  m(»dern,  as  to  questions  of  sacred  criticism,  of  history  ani 
Kcograph'y,  and  gives  the  reader  the  results  of  recent  learned  investigationsL  If  the  purpose  of  this  book  w  gained, 
for  which  it  presents  so  ample  an  apparatus,  scriptural  knowledge  will  be  increased,  H.  J.  Ripley. 

From  fAe  Puritan  Recorder. 

Here  wo  have  the  larger  work,  referred  to  in  the  title,  boiled  down  more  than  one  half,  and  made  more  strong  and 
rich  by  the  evaporation.  To  that  numerous  and  most  useful  class  of  laborers  in  the  Lord*s  vinevard,  the  Sabbath- 
school  teachers,  we  would  respectfully  otTer  our  advice  to  appropriate  tiiree  dollars  each  to  make  thcmstlres  pocse^v- 
ors  of  this  valuable  help  for  the  discharge  of  their  duties.  If  any  one  of  them  should  not  have  the  money,  wt 
counsel  him  "  to  sell  his  garment  and  buy  one,"
