← The Complete Works of Richard Sibbes — Volume 7

Vol. v., Lady Brooke, p. 411. In the ' Memoir' contained in Parkhurst's funeral sermon for this illustrious and venerable ' lady,' will be found a very interesting notice of Sibbes's visits to her, and of their mutual regard.

Vol, v.. Note b, p. 539, ' Common and profane;' read rather %omg. ' The rea- son' seems to be that holiness or religious purity, as well as everything belonging to religion, was connected by the ancients (especially the Hebrews) with the notion of something set apart or separate ; and whatsoever was not thus set apart, or was outside the sacred enclosure, was common and profane, whether used in good or bad sense.

Vol. v., p. 153, ' Ferus.' I rather take to be Dr Joh. Wild (Latinised Ferus), a celebrated Franciscan preacher and expositor at Mentz at the time of the Reforma- tion. The only other name of the kind known, is that of the celebrated Spanish Dominican, S. Vincent Ferrar, who died in 1419.

Vol. v., p. 256, Credo quia impossible est, is the famous paradox of Tertullian.

Vol. v., p. 435. Does 'civil men ' mean men of the world, 'natural men,' as our translators call them, and not ' moral men ' ?

Vol. v., p. 353. In the remark of Calvin with regard to whether our Lord merited personally, &c., the marks of quotation are wrongly placed. It ought to be : Saith he, ' Whether He did or no, it is curious to search, it is,' &c.

*^* I have mislaid my reference to Sibbes's quotation of ' likeness' being the ground of ' communion.' The reader chancing upon it will be glad to have it confirmed with the noble passage in Plato : Thesetetus, 176, A, 'nsi^aaSai ^jjg svOsvdi sxiToi (povysiv 0 ri rayjOTa (p\)yy\ Z\ o[jjoiu(Stg hSj naTo.' rh dvvarov. o/tioludig bi diKaiov xa} ociov fisra tpoovyidsug ytviadai.
