" Itfi faliat Fatuoa , Scofci quoe ^ nque locatum Jnvement lapidem , regnare tenentur ibidem . ' Of which I recollect the following translation : " The Scots , as sing the wondrous weirds
of Scone * Must reign where ' er they find this fatal stone . " Charles , arrived at Scone , being €€ placed in a ctiair under a cloth of $ tate" in the hall of the Palace , was
addressed by the Lord Chancellor ^ and intreated to accept the crown , on the condition of defending the " ri gh ^ $ qd liberties" of the people . The young royal hypocrite , destined at length to be made by the Church of England a " most religious king /' now piously replies to the Chancellor of Scotland :
* ' I do esteem the affections of ray good people , piore than the crowns of many kingdoms ; and shall be ready , by God's assistance , to bestow my life in their defence ; wishing to live no longer than I may see religion and this kingdom flourish in all happiness . ** : On this satisfactory assurance that
Charles would prove , like his remote successor , " at once the safeguard of their country and the bulwark of their church / ' the uobl ^ s , &c . " accompanied his Majesty to the Kirk of Scone . " Here , at present , I must leave him , to endure a penance of at least two hours '
continuance ^ seated in " the throne or ehair of state , set in a fitting place for his Majesty ' s hearing of sermon over against the minister /' VERMICULUS .

Greek , and the several Translations of it : and illustrated with Critical and Explanatory Notes , extracted ftom the Writings and Sermons of die celebrated Grotius , Hammond , Stanhope , Whitby , Burkitt , and many other
curious und modern Annotators and Preachers . By the Rev . Mr . Joha Lindsay . London ; Printed by R . Penny , in Wine-Office ^ Court , Fleet * street . MJ > CGXXXVL" It is feirly printed in columns , in the manner of the folio edition of Matt . Henry ' s Bible . The commentary appears to be
for the most part selected ^ like that in the Bible of the Society for promoting Christian knowledge , called Mant ' s Bible 9 and except where doctrines are concerned , is judicious and useful . The doctrinal system is moderate €€ orthodoxy ; " moderate on all points , at least , but that of the Trinity , in which the annotator shews himself a
rigid Athanasian . He had not advanced beyond the a , b , o , of biblical criticism , Thus * assuming the vulgar readings of Act ? xx , 28 , to be the true one , he borrows from some unacknowledged source , if lie did not make , the following choice comment : < € Feed the Vhuroh of God , which fie hath purchased with his blo ( kd ~ Where ,
Obseme ,, the divinity Qf Christ asserted , ; he is expressly called Gad , in opposi * tion to the Ariana , and their unhappy spawn the Sociniaifcs , who will allow him to be only man . But then his blood could never have purchased the church , which . 'it is bere said to 4 o :
