Do'do (Heb. Dodo*, inin, amatory; but, accord- ing to Ftirst, an abbreviation of Dodavah), the name of three men.
1. (Sept. irarpa^eX^oc a^roiJ v. r. franjp AdtX^ov aifTov ; Yiilg. patruus Ahimdech, both apparently as a rendering of "Ahohite" inserted.) A descendant of Issachar, father of Phuah, and gp'andfather of the judge Tola (Judg. X, 1). B.C. considerably ante 1819.
2. (Sept. Aov^t, Aa;^at : Yulg. patruus ejus.) An Ahohite (q. v.), father of Eleazar, who was one of Da^ vid's three special heroes (2 Sam. xxiii, 9, margin ; 1 Chron. xi, 12). B.C. ante 1046. He seems to be the same with the Dodai mentioned in 1 Chron. xxvii, 4, as commander of the fourth monthly division of the royal troops under David. This latter form of the name occurs in the Hebrew text of 2 Sam. xxiii, 9 (yvi), and is fiivored by the Sept as well as by Jo- sephus (Ant. vii, 12, 4, A<u^cu)c) ; and is believed by Kennicott (Dissertation, p. 184), who has examined these lists with great minuteness, to be the correct one. The Jewish tradition (Jerome, Qu. Hebr. on 1 Chron. xi, 12) waa that Dodo waa the brother of Jesse.
3. (Sept. ^ovdi irarpaBiK^oQ ahrov, and Awdiaai V. r. Aiodiiis ; Vulg. patruus ejus.') A Bethlehemite, and &ther of the Elhanah who was one of David's thnty heroes (2 Sam. xxiii, 24 ; 1 Chron. xi, 26). B.C. ante 1046.
Dodwell, Henrt, an eminent nonjuror, critic, and theologian, was bom at Dublin in 1641, and was edu- cated at the York Free School and at Trinity College, where he obtained a fellowship, which he relinquished in 166Q. He was chosen Camden professor at Oxford in 1688 ; but, being a nonjuror, he lost his office at the Revolution. Dodwell was a learned and a virtuous man, but addicted to paradoxes, and was so much an ascetic that during three days in the week he refrained almost wholly from food. He was a man of great ob- stinacy, unwearied industry, and prodigious learning. But his intellect was neither vigorous nor comprehen- sive. ** Many of Ma publications were on the popish and nonconformist controversies : they have the repu* tation of showing, like everything else he wrote, ex^ tensive and minute learning, and great skill in the application of his scholarship, but little judgment of a larger kind. Few, if any, of the champions of tiie Church of England have strained the pretensions of that establishment so fiu: as Dodwell seems to have

done ; bat his whole life attested the perfect conscien- tiousness and disregard of personal consequences un- der vrhich he wrote and acted'* {English CjfdopadiOj ft. v.). On leaving Oxford he retired to Cookham, Berkshire, and soon after to Shottesbrooke, where he spent the rest of lus days. He possessed an estate in Ireland, but allowed a relation to enjoy the principal part of the rent, only reserving a moderate mainte- nance for himself. His relative at length began to grumble at the subtraction even of this pittance, and on that Dodwell resumed his property, and married. He took this step in his fifty-second year, and lived to see himself the father often children. The works for which he is now chiefly remembered were also all pro- duced in the latter part of his life. Among these are his DUtertationes Cjfprianica (n. d. fol.) :—Du$ert. in IrencBum (Oxon. 1689) : — Scripture Account o/ Rewards and Punishments (Lond. 1708, 8vo) :— Dissertations and Annotations on the Greek Geographers^ published in Hudson's Geographies Veteris Scriptores Greed Minores (Oxon. 1698, 1703, and 1712): — ilmofef Thucgdidei et Xenophontei (IGdS) i—Chronol. Gnxco-Romano (1692) ; and Annaks VeOeiani^ Quintiliani, Statiani (1698). These several chronological essays, which are drawn up with great ability, have all been repeatedly reprint- ed. Dodwell's principal work is considered to be his De Veteribus Grwcorum Romanorumque Cgdis^ Obiterque de Cgclo Judtearum ac JState Christi Dissertationes (Oxon. 1701, 4to). He also published in 8vo, in 1706, An epistolary Disccurse, proving from the Scriptures and the first Fathers that the Soul is a Principle natu- raUy mcrtal, but immortalized actually by the pleasure of God, to punishment or to reward, by its union with the divine l)aptismal spirit; where it is proved th^it none have the power of giving this divine immortaliz- ing spirit since the apostles, but only the bishops. " This attempt to make out for the bishops the new power of conferring immortality raised no small out- cry against the writer, and staggered many even of those who had not seen any extravagance in his for- mer polemical lucubrations. Of course it gave great offense to the Dissenters, all of whose souls it uncere- moniously shut out from a future existence on any terms. Dodwell died at Shottesbrooke June 7, 1711" (English Cyclopadia).

Doederlein, Johann Chrxstoph, a celebrated Lutheran theologian, was bom at Windheim, in Fran- conia, Jan. 20, 1746, and studied at the University of Altorf, where he was appointed professor of theology in 1772. In 1782 he became professor of theology at Jena, where he died Dec. 2, 1792. His erudition was solid and various. His most important works are, Esaias ex recensione text, hebr,, cum notis (1789, 8vo) : — SprOche Salomons neu iibers. etc. (1778, 8vo) : — Insti' tutio theologies Christiana (Altdorf, 1791, 8vo, 6th ed.). His miscellaneous writings and sermons are very nu- merous, and he edited the Theologische BibUothek from 1780 to 1792. His Institutio Theohgia was a veiy suc- cessful book. In theology, Doederlein stood at the point of transition from the old German orthodoxy to modem Rationalism.— Saintes, History of Rationalitm, bk. ii, ch. iv.
