Not illustrated.1858 Excerpt: ... more elegant than the Romish application of Ezekiel xliv. 1,2, 3, to the perpetual virginity of Maty, the wife of Joseph. For on comparing the parallel passage, chap. xlvi. 1, which must admit a similar interpretation, we find a practical modification of the perpetuity by both a weekly and a monthly dispensation. How much wiser and manlier it were to give the whole credit of the dogma to human ingenuity, than so distort and degrade the holy word of prophecy! Various Readings of the Latin. Par. 4, 2, 4, Cherubin--Seraphin, No. vi. and some MSS. Par. 16, 4, suscepisti--(6 nee,) MS. Ar. 60, and Voffii--A. S. bu andfenge, 4, 5. Par. 18, 6, in gloriam, 1 MS.

It will be observed that vowels are never doubled in the same syllable: thus for good we have gode; for too, to; for been, bene; which probably made two syllables. To learn that the or be often stands for thee, bi for thy, bow for thou, ber for their, and also for there, requires a very few sec...
