upon this circumstance that Collins grounded his fourth objection to the Equity and authority of Daniel ' s prophecies . " It does not appear , " says that subtle adversary of the Christian religion , * that the book of Daniel was translated into Greek , when the other books of the Old Testament were , which are attributed to the Seventy ; the present Greek Version , in
ii ^ rted the Septuagint , being taken from Theodotioo ' s translation of the Old / Testament , made in the second century after Christ . " * Jerome , however , from whom we derive our knowledge of this fact , explains the cause pf it , and informs us that the Septuagint Version of the book of Daniel existed in the third century , but that Origen declined inserting it in his Hexapla on account of the great corruptions wbiqh it had undergone * Our copies , therefore , having , been , derived from the Hexaplfc , the original
Septuagint Version of the book of Daniel was supposed * in the time of Collins , to have been entirely lost . But a copy was lately discovered , and has since been published by Dr . Holmes in his splendid edition of the Septuagint , printed at the Clarendon Press , Oxford . If * then , the book of Daniel formed a part of this version in the time of Origen , there is every reason to suppose that it was made at the same time with the version of the other prophetical books . It is true , later Jews have attempted to degrade the book of Daniel to a rank below that of Isaiah , Jeremiah , Ezekiel ^ and the twelve
Minor Prophets , for causes formerly assigned ; and it is equally true that Jerome , in his catalogue , enumerates it among the books which constitute the Hagiographa . But while Jerome implicitly follows the Jewish arrangement , Origen and Melito both place Daniel in the order assigned to him in our English translation ; and while the Talmudists withhold from him the title : of prophet , except in a subordinate sense , Josephus and our Lord unequivocally acknowledged his claims to high distinction under that character .

Yes , go to other scenes ; but do not fear The voice of peace and love so often heard Within these walls , each pure and holy word Breath'd by thy lips in other seasons here , Shall fade within our hearts . —No , not in vain Here hast thou rais'd for us the fervent prayer
And bade our fainting spirits soar again To heavenly hopes , and east off mortal care , Pointing our path to virtue and to bliss . O ! we trill lbvfe the way th y steps have trdd , And thine own ftiith , thy trust , thy holiness , Shall shine to guide us still ;—and from our God In these devoted hours will we implore A blessing on bio lot whom we may hear no more .
