We have joined in the laugh at the cruel entertainments with which ye beguile the middle of the day, when Mercury went about to try with a red hot caduceus, whether the bodies were really dead. We have seen also Pluto, the brother of Jupiter, dragging off the corpses of the gladiators, with a hammer in his hand."

430. "In the furious orgies of the Bacchanalians, they spare not even the dead bodies of the Christians; they draw them forth from the resting-places of the grave, from the asylum of death; they cut in pieces and drag asunder corpses which cannot be recognized, and are no longer entire."

LIGHTFOOT'S Works.

P. vi. WILLIAM CHAPPEL, his tutor, afterwards Master of Trinity College Dublin, and Bishop of Cork, was tutor also to Henry More and to Milton.

Lightfoot "expressed a great aversion to the dry technicalities of logic."

His patron Sir Rowland Cotton, at the age of seven had been able to read fluently the biblical Hebrew, and could converse readily in that language.

68." His chorographical description of Canaan and the places adjacent, is irrecoverably lost. The unhappy chance that hindered the publishing this elaborate piece of his, which he had brought to pretty good perfection, was the edition of Dr. Fuller's Pisgah Sight; great pity it was, that so good a book should have done so much harm."

74. He held that revelations are not to be expected for revealing new doctrines, explaining those which are revealed, or directing our lives and manner.

75. He argued that St. Paul, "after the first age of the Gospel, in which revelations were often very necessary, would no longer use the imposition of his hands, which conferred the miraculous gifts of the Holy Ghost, because he well knew that God saw good no farther to make use of such a ministry."

29. St. Cyprian is so fearful of making God the author of evil, that he reads the petition in the Lord's prayer thus: "Ne nos patiaris induci in tentationem,”—“suffer us not to be led into temptation, but deliver us from evil."

48. Their language is to be restored with their nation.

58. A passionate prayer, which is ill censured by Lightfoot.

260. One etymology of the name of the Pharisees is, "from Parush, which betokeneth separation, for that they accounted and pretended themselves more holy than others of the people, and so became separatists from them, as despising them."

P. 24. "THE traditions of the Jews did set a singular esteem and value upon the study of the law and divinity by night.1 Although the command, say they, be to learn by day and by night, yet a man learns the most of his wisdom by night. He that studies the law by night, a thread of mercy is drawn out for him by day. Every house in which they hear not the words of the law by night, fire devours it."

42. "In every town there was a school where children were taught to read the law; and if there were any town where there was not such a school, the men of the place stood excommunicate till one were erected."

43. Some of them stuck not to say that the law might be expounded seventy-two ways.

1 Study by night. La nuict a conseil- Noctu urgenda consilia— Εν νυκτὶ βελή-are phrases and proverbs familiar to most languages. See ERASMI Adagia.-J. W. W.

44. Part of their divinity was, to rely upon their own works, to care for no other faith but historical, to patter over prayers, as efficacious ex opere operato.

62. "Before they received a proselyte,they enquired whether he had not set his eyes upon some maid of Israel; and of a woman, whether she had not set her eyes upon some young man of Israel."

115. "The Talmud says, 'What is meant by a great city? Such a one as hath in it ten men of leisure. Less than thus, it is a village.' These ten men that they mean, must be men of some fashion and quality. -They read not in the law nor in the prophets in the synagogue, nor lifted up their hands, unless there were ten persons present. The Divine Majesty dwelleth not among less than ten.' Nay, R. Jonathan saith, 'When the holy blessed God cometh into the synagogue, and findeth not ten there, he is presently angry; as it is said, Wherefore came I, and there was no man?""

176. "All the teaching of the scribes was especially about external, carnal, and trivial rites, ceremonies, and demeanours, as appeareth infinitely in their Talmudical pandect, which was but hay, straw, stubble, nothing in comparison of the sound doctrine of salvation."

204. They held that "the Lord made his covenant with them according to the traditional law." They held "the written law scant and narrow in comparison of the traditional." And that "the written law might be taught for hire, but the traditional might

not."

215. Some Pharisees there were who affected so grave and demure a pace, that they scarcely lifted their feet from the ground, and so stumbled against every stone that lay in the way. Others incurred the same inconvenience by bending double as they walked, in show of humility, and winking as they went.-On the contrary, the Pestle Pharisee was one who wrapt his coat about his hand, and kept off himself from touching of any man, lest he should be defiled.

P. 44. "INGENIOUS was that picture; in one scale you see all the trinklements of Popery, and the Pope and friars hanging on; in the other, the Protestants put the Bible, and it outweighs."

183. "Some divines of old have held that the devils are equal in number to all the people of God that shall be saved, from the beginning of the world to the end of it; and that God in eternity did decree to make up the number of fallen angels by an equal number of elect men. Whether this be so or no, and whether the air be full of devils, as others have conceived, we will not examine."

243. He preached in London " before the Staffordshire natives."

P. 170. "How can we choose but remember the mercy of God to this our land in this particular, that no such ravenous, dangerous beasts do range in our nation, if men themselves would not be wolves, and bears, and lions one to another."1

178. A wild conception of the Jews, that all they who heard the law uttered by God from Mount Sinai, were, by that very hearing, made like unto the angels; that they should never have begot children, never grown old, never died, but have been as the angels, had not that unhappy business of the golden calf fallen out, and that turned them to sinful and mortal men again.

211. "I am far from making the consequence and conclusion from the difficulties of Scripture that they make. They say, the Scriptures are hard, therefore let not the laity and unlearned meddle with them or read them at all. I say, the Scriptures
