(eeee) P. 475. — 'Like to the Samaritans, as Josophus, the historian of the Jews, writes of them. When the Jews prospered, oh ! then they would be Jews,' &c. The passage will be found in the ' Antiquities,' Book ix., c. xiv. g 3, ' When they [the Cutheans or Samaritans] see the Jews in prosperity, they pretend that they aro

changed, and allicid to them, and call tliem kiurimcn, as though tlioy were derived from Joseph, and had by that means an original alliance with them ; but when they see them falling into a low condition, they say they are no way related to them, and that the Jews have no right to expect any kindness or marks of kindred from tliem, but they declare tliat they are sojourners that come from other countries.' Cf. also xi. c. viii. g 6, and xii. c. v. 5.
(ffSf) P. 475. — ' As we sec in Cranmer and others.' The good Archbishop's early faltering, and subseqiient recantation and martyr-death, are historic.
{<jggg) P. 478. — ' The Holy Spirit searchcth. . . . He is a " searcher," as the word is in the original.' Cf. 1 Cor. ii. 10 The verb is kovovdo}, = explore ; i.e., accurately and tlioroughly know. Hodge, and Webster and Wilkinson, in loc, will reward consultation.
[hhhh) P. 479. — 'As Austin saith, "The Spirit of God knocks at their hearts but he doth not dwell there." ' This is a frequently-recurring saying of the ' Con- fessions ' and De Civifate, with varying phraseology, as all readers of this father are aware is common with him.
{iiii) P. 491. — 'As St Austin saith very well. Christ, saith he, speaks to the sea, and it is quiet,' &c. Cf. Augustine on Mark iv. o'J. It is found also in Theophylact.
fjjjj) P. 497. — ' God, I liope, will be merciful to the state ; for the censure of the state upon profanation, it is a very worthy act.' There were multiplied ' proclama- tions ' at this period against ^ profaneness.' as also during the reign of Charles II. The rigidness of the 'laws,' and the laxity of the practice, suggest much.
'kkkk) P. 499. — ' These words are declined by many interpreters.' Consult Hodge, Dean Stanley, and Webster and Wilkinson in loc.
[IIU) P. 500. — 'It is not to domineer over faith, to suppress that that they call of late in neighbour countries a liberty of prophecy." Cf. Bishop Jeremy Taylor's magnificent vindication of this 'libeity ' in his ' 0EOAO TIA 'EKAEKTIKH ; or, A Discourse of the Liberty of Prophesying, with its just Limits and Tem})cr : shewing the Unreasonableness of prescribing to other men's faith, and the iniquity of persecuting dift'ering opinions.' (Works, ed. 1849. by Eden. V. pp. 339-605 )
(mmnim) P. 500. — ' St Austin himself was once of this mind, that people were not to be forced.' His words are, ' Ad fidem quidem uullus est cogendus invitus.' Contra Ep. Pefiliani Donatistcp, lib. ii. c. Ixxxiii.
(nnmi) P. 503. — 'If he came in by simony, or is not iji cathedra.'' Ranke supjilics abundant examples of the former, and the latter denotes that the pope is infallible only while he acts in his official character, e.g., propagating a bull or making a decision. Extra cathedram, or as & private man, he is held by papists to be liable to err.
{oooo) P. 505. — ' Council of Trent and Pius IV.' Cf. note Jj, and Pianke under Pius IV. and Trent.
(ppppj P. 510. — ' Ministers .... advise in cases of conscience.' Sibbes's con- temporaries, and indeed the whole of the leading theologians before and after him, occupied themselves with drawing i;p ' resolutions ' of ' cases of conscience.' It is only necessary to name the great ' Ductor Dubitantium ' of Jeremy Taylor, and the pungent ' Treatise ' of William Perkins.
{qqqq) P. 514. — ' He hath his chair in heaven that teacheth the heart, as St Austin saith.' The words are, ' Catlicdram habct in ccelo. qui corda docet in terris.' /;* 1 Epist. St Johaii. Tr. iii. ? 13. Cf. also his De DiscipUna Christiana.
[rrrr) P. 518. — 'Standing is a military word;' i.e., iarr,/j.i, opposed to <pivyco. Cf. Eph. vi. 13. A. B. G.
