Here we have chiefly to notice the needless deviation of Philalethes from the order of the original : in other respects his translation is an obvious improvement . With Griesbach he omits ovy

Let us attend to the remark of a great master of the Greek tongue on the force of this verb : " EgrtfqOj , me quidem judice f sine coutroversik valet , insta atque tncumbt , nt splent W o 5 * a > kt <** , qui

The translation of Philalethes varies considerabl y from that of his

    predecessors . } a Castalio we read , " jam jam immolandus sum , * and Doddridge retains the figure expressed by R- V . The Lexicon of Schleusner is perhaps the source of

    the variation : in verb , a-vevQa ( No , 4 ) , " metapborice : puulatim absurnor . Sic bis in N . T . legitur , Phil . ii . \ 7 \ 2 Tim . iv « 6 , — -omnes vires mese sensim minuuntur et absumuntur . ' *

    However , we cannot admit that the learned lexicographer has proved this to be the sense of the word ; and we consider the present example of his skill in illustration as singularly unhappy . The authorities to which he refers , are insufficient : valuable a . s are his labours , they would be yet more so , were not his subdivisions
