Therefore let us labour to be discreetly large and bountiful, as we desire to die with comfort ; as we would make it good that we know ' the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,' with interest in it ; and as we would make it good to our souls that the example of Christ is a thing that hath any efficacy with us ; or else we shew that we have no interest in the grace of Christ ; and then how miserable are we ! We shall wish ere long that we had part in this grace and love of Christ ; that he would speak comfortably to us at the latter day, ' Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit a kingdom,' Mat. XXV. 34. Our life is short and uncertain ; as we shall desire it then, so labour to be assured of it now ; and let us be stirred up from this ' grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, though he were rich, became poor for our Bakes, that v/e through his poverty might be made rich.'
NOTES.
(a) P. 496. — ' Against the cursed heresy of Arins.' For a brief hnt excellent memoir of this famous lieresiarch, see Dr Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, stib voce by Dr Schmitz.
(b) P. 500. — ' The papists -would have him a beggar. Bellarmine, to countenance begging friars, would bave Christ to be so.' Tbis is a commonplace of papists, found in Bellarmine and all Eomanist writers, in their advocacy of that ' voluntary humi- lity ' which Paul denounces (Col. ii. 18).
(c) P. 50G.' — ' Saith St Bernard well, " 0 love that art so sweet, why becamest thou Bo bitter to thyself!" ' One of the many pathetic exclamations of this father, re- peatedly met with, in varying phraseology, in his letters. Cf. recent Memoir by Morison.
(d) P. 512. — * Therefore he was a principal, as Chrysostom speaks, with a prin-

cipal.' This Chrysostom expresses at largo in his Homilies on Genesis — ' Let us make man ;' and in his treatise on Christ's prayers as not inconsistent with his equality with the Father. The following sentences are from the latter of these treatises : — orav yao xoXd'/^nv b'v/], -/.al orav ri/jLav, xal orav a;j.aPTy]/xaTa d(piivai, xai orav vo/MoOiriTv, xai orav ri ruv 'ttoXXSj //.e/^o'i'wv Oi-fi to/s/V, fiuba./j,ou rov ca-rsga v.a\(i\)\ra avrov i{j^i]6iig, lu'6\ ihyoiiivov, u'f.'Ka inr avl)ivriag drravTa 'ir^drrovra. Chrys. De Christi precihus, contra Ano7nceos., lih. x.
(e) P. 514. — ' Under ground, as Arethusa and other rivers.' The reference is to the well (or river) of Arethusa, in the island of Ortygia, near Syracuse. Cf. Dic- tionary as in Note a, sub voce, and under Alpheius.
(/) P. 525. — ' We give it to Christ in tlicm, as Salvianus saith well ; Christ doth hide himself under the person of the poor.' For the thought, cf. his Adversus Ava- ritiam, fnesertim Clericorum et Sacerdotum, and also incidentally his De vera Judicio et Providentia Dei. These treatises were translated into English, and published in 1700. 8vo. G.
