    ( meaning Jacob , ) as concerning the flesh , ( rb ylolto , o-dp / ca , ) came the Lord Jesus , " ate found , but where the « doxology is omitted as having no connexion with the other part , as decisive proof how the text was understood in a very early age , since it is hardly conceivable that Clement should hot have added the final clause , or something to the same purpose , if he had thought it applicable to Christ .

    But farther , and finally , Dr . S . " conceives that there is reason in the observation that the clause , as it respects the flesh , is one part of an antithesis , the other member of which is to be sought in the sequel of the paragraph . " There is truly a sort of antithesis , but the other member is here , as in ver . 3 of the same chapter , to be sought in the Apostle ' s mind , and in the minds of his readers .

    Changes take their character as much from the persons by whom they are made as from the principles by which they are sanctioned . If effected by the many , they will in general be constructed with so liberal a hand ,

    and so wise a mind , as to benefit the many ; if by the few , the prejudices , the interests , of the few will be consulted so as to restrict their extent , their value , their usefulness , and therein abridge their duration . The truth of this position is strikingly exemplified in the change which religious establishments underwent in the two kingdoms of England and Scotland at the
