1-um Sinaitici, etc. (Lips. 1860, sm. fol.), the indefatigable critic has given nine pages entire from the New Test., eight from the Old Test., and one from the epistle of Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hennas (p. 22 sq.). He has also furnished ujjwards of six hundred readings from all the books of the New Test. (p. 14 sq.). A fac-simile is given above. Tischendorf has likewise printed a brief Noiitia Codicis to accompany the seventh edition of his Greek Test, of the same size. It may be remarked that the Codex Sinaiticus agrees with B in omitting the last twelve verses of Mark's gospel; that it has of itpavtpoj^i;, not^Eoe ; that it omits the passage respecting the woman taken in adultery (John vii, o3-viii, 11); agrees with B in omitting tv ((ptcrio in Ephes. i, 1 (« prima manu) ; wants the doxology in Matt, vi, 13, as do B D Z ; agrees with B in reading r?;v fKKXrjaiav tov Qiot) (Acts xx, 28) ; with B C D** in having ovSn'o^ Xoyov woiov- juai ri]i' ■i\jv)(r]v rifiiav tjxavTio (ver. 24), and has (.loi'o- yei'/ZC Otoe with B C L in John i, 18 — a reading un- doubtedly wrong. The IMS. has been published at St. Petersburg in fac-simile (4 vols, fol.), the edition being limited to 300 copies. In 18C3 the New-Test, part was published in ordinary type at Leipsic, 4to, with columns the same as the original, and in 18(55 Tischendorf issued a new edition in 8vo. Scrivener has also printed its readings in a small vol. (1863), and Ilansell has added them to his edition of the New Test. (1864). — Kitto. See Amer, Theol. Rev. April, 18(;i ; Princeton Rev.

Sincerity (from sinceru^, " without wax ;" honey separated from the wax, perfectly pure). In Scripture sincere {dSo\o(;,fi\tKpiyiii:) signides pure, without mixt- ure. Sincerity is opposed to double-mindedness, or de- ceit, when the sentiments of the heart are contrary to the language of the lip.s. Paul (Phil, i, 10) would have the l'liili|ipians to be pure, their behavior iimocent, free from olleiice, "thai ye may l)e sincere and without offence till the day of Christ." Peter (2 ICpist. iii, 1) exhorts the pure, sincere mind of the faithful. Paul speaks (1 Cor. v, 8) of sincerity and triil li, or of juirity and truth, in ojipo- sition to the leavened bread of ini()uity. lie reproaclies the false apostles with not preaching Jesus Christ sin- cen'ly, purely, with upright and disinterested .sentiments (Phil, i, 15). The reader is referred to a discussion of this subject by Gurnall, Christian Armor, ii, 121-148.

Sinclair, John, a minister of the Methodist Epis- copal Church, was born in Loudon County, Ya., April 9, 1793. In his twenty -first j'ear, while residing in Lexington, Ky., he professed conversion and joined the Church. He was received on trial in the Kentucky Conference in September, 1824, but was transferred to the Illinois Conference in 1830. Here he labored as pastor and presiding elder until 1844, when he was su- perannuated. This relation he sustained until 1846, when he again became effective, serving as presiding elder eight years and pastor two. He again took a superaniRiated relation in 1857, and made his home in Evanston until his death, in 18()(} or 1801. He was delegate to the General Conference of 1844.

Sindliee Version. Sindhee is a dialect spoken by the inhabitants of Sinde, an extensive country of Western India, and attached since 1839 to the Bombay presidency. As early as 1815 a translation of the Script- ures was commenced by the Serainpore missionaries, but it was not till 1825 that the Gospel of INIatthew was com- mitted to press. A translation of the same gospel was also made by Capt. G. Stack, and an edition of 500 copies printed by the Bombay auxiliary of the British and For- eign Bible Society. In 1859 an edition of 580 copies of John's Gospel issued from the same source, having been executed under the care of Kev. A. Burn : 280 copies of this edition were printed in the Arabic character, and 300 copies in the Gurmukhi. In 18G0 the book of Gen- esis, ill the Arabic character, was printed, together with 600 copies of the Gospel of John, while the printing of the Acts of the Apostles was commenced by the Kev. Mr. Sheldon. According to the report of 1878 of the Brit- ish and Foreign Bible Society, besides Genesis, the four Gospels and the Acts are the only parts printed, and all copies distributed amounted to 44,734.
