late communications , the functionaries of a church whom the law has prescribed to officiate in a very painful , and the writer of this is well assured , at all times , a mo £ t distressing duty , would be held up to the contempt and
aversion of the unfortunate beings , of whom their own spontaneous wish would be m bumble imitation of their divine Master , to be able to have it as their testimony , " I was in prison and ye visited me . "

May 3 , 1321 . Observations on Passages in the New Testament .
cum mterpretandarum literarum sa ^ ra rum studio et lapsa et restituta e ' st religkmis Christianas paritas . « J . A * EUtfESTi . MATT . vi . 13 . deliver us from evil [ a ?™ T 8 KDPYjps ] ' : according to most translators and
commentators , " from the evil one / ' The clause , undoubtedly , admits of this version , which , however , it is far from requiring . With great deference I suggest that -ts itQvqps here signifies fftofa
l evil generally ; as in John xvii . 15 , 1 John v Id . On the other hand , some quotations in Wetstein ' s note , in loc , are Well deserving of regard ; although his selection of supposed parallel texts m the New Testament fails of establishing his conclusion .
Matt . xvii . 1 . Jesus taketh Peter , James , and John his brother , and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart . Our Lord favoured these three apostles with special opportunities of perceiving miraculous attestations to his character as the
Messiah . Did the indulgence arise from his personal attachment . to them , from the partialities of private friendship ? To these he was no stranger . Yet in the discharge of his ministry he yielded to public and comprehensive

individual regard for them as his solicitude for the future interests of his gospel , and for the greatest happiness
of mankind at large , that governed his behaviour on the occasions to which I have alluded . Mark vii . 9 . FuLii well . [ kocKcoc ]

But if any readers imagine that Schleusner ' s explanation of the word is sanctioned bv Mr . WakefiekL they
will soon perceive their error . In the passage of the Silva Critica to which reference has been made we find the following sentences : ' Nee desunt qui , re penitus deplorata , ad eipoovsicw confugiunt ; et servatorem niundi scilicet ludentis speciem sibi induisse xion dubittint contendere . — Sic reddi debet

Luke xi . 29 , 30 . there shall no sign be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet . For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites , [ see ver . 32 , ] so shall also the Son of Man be to this generation . An additional circumstance is stated in Matt . xii . 40 : " For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale ' s belly , so shall the Son of Man be three days and three
