348-9. Dramas in which the gods were represented and derided. Others in which they were "introduced dancing in the midst of the blood of the gladiators, and the pollution of capital punishments, affording the plot and history in the course of which these wretched victims may be put to death. We (says T.) have formerly seen a man mutilated in the character of Atys, your god from Pessinum; and one who personated Hercules burnt alive. 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."

P. 26. THE Jews in Portugal are by their own people "dispensed withal to make a resemblance of Christianity, as far as to be Romish priests.

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."

Vol. 4.

P. 18. THE Cabalists. "These should be men of great account, for their trading is chiefly in numbers; but the effects of their studies prove but fetches nullius numeri, of no reckoning. Their strange tricks and sleights of invention, how to pick out a matter of nothing out of a thing of no matter, is so intricate, that I do not much care if unto these secrets my soul do not come."

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.

48. The whole tongue is contained in the Bible; and no one book else, in the world, contains in it a whole language.

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."

336. Ded. to his Staffordshire friends of his Harmony of the Four Evangelists. "She (the county) is to me in mine own affections as the England of England; and you are to her, by her own choice, as the Staffordshire of Staffordshire."
