… 564 Old Prices Remains. Want of Address. There is an abruptness in the monosyllable Sir ! It always looks to me as if it was short for Sirrah ! Then " Dear Sir " is a little too affectionate towards those who are entire strangers; and to those who either are, or what is far worse, fancy themselves your " betters," not a little too familiar ! In the case of Clergymen you are…

… Leviora. 565 without its share of satisfaction, viz., that should the pair of them lose their temper, as well as their hats and um¬ brellas, and, without coming to bodily blows, belabour each other with improper invectives, the law of the land provided against such breaches of decorum will reach both cases alike; and, with even-handed castigation, teach the over-busy as well as the ov ox-leisurely soi-croyant hero that they are but frail mortals…

We should not be surprised to findhim by-and-by amongst those wild " religious frantics" who admit…

… $6s Old Price's Remains. GRAVIORA. Adversaria on the Greek Testament. HEBREWS, ix. 24.—A friend asks, "is aimrimo^ rightly rendered Figure ? If more properly rendered Antitype, then how is it to be understood in 1 Peter, iii. 21 ? Was the Ark an antitype of something ? Is baptism a like antitype, and of what ?" (This is the question of a thought¬ ful and earnest man, and a very interesting one.) Anti¬ type…

… Graviora. 5^9 this sense, and the authorized version is, as usual, un¬ objectionable. N.B.—I know no better proof of shallow scholarship, than the habitual eagerness to amend it with which some seem to be, as it were, possessed. ROMANS, iii. 25.—I understand Trpoekrjkvdora (past, or bygone) as distinctly marking sins committed under the previous dispensation. Hebrews, viii. 5, and ix. 23 and 24. "Did Moses see the real heavenly things in the mount and…

… 570 Old Price's Remains. 22, 23 ; Luke, ii. 2$, 34, ix. 16, xxii. 17, 19, &C." They can only be made to have the same sense by force. Both acts may have taken place on the same occasions, which may account for seeming conversion of terms, ivkoyea is transitive, with the same latitude as the English verb. To bless God, to bless man, to bless the loaves.—iv^apLarew is intransitive, i.e., never governs an…

… Graviora. S7l you place it" (viz., after " death "). " Surely, where the gospel is not received, death is not abolished. The blue ink marks " (so in MS., replaced here by italics) " are to be viewed as a separate subject, and are an attempt to show the difference between the Greek idiom and the English. In this verse, the attempt seems quite success¬ ful ; it is not always so easy.…

… 572 Old Price's Remains. that, after a certain time (chap. iii. i), becomes quite as prominent and remarkable as the opposite virtue had pre¬ viously been. Seeing, again, that the Lord himself pro¬ nounced him " a perfect and upright man," (see Phil. iii. 12 and 15, for " perfect,") I was blinded to the evil of that same man being " righteous in his own eyes, and, there¬ fore, blind to the…

… Graviora. 573 to the records of such facts. The fourth friend, Elihu, though he reproves Job with faithful unexaggerating severity, for justifying himself rather than God, is not blamed with the other three in chap. xlii. 7. The reason of this is, I believe, to be gathered from internal evidence. It could not be said of Elihu, as he said of the three " miserable comforters," that he " had found no answer, and…

… 574 Old Price's Remains. his speech Job makes no reply ; and, after the awful exa¬ mination with which Jehovah follows up Elihu's unrebuked address, we find the thoroughly convinced sinner humble and contrite, and now even confining his reply to those few words, which are accepted (in chap, xlii., verse 7) before all the lengthened arguments by which the three elders had attempted " to justify the ways of God to man," whilst…

… Graviora. 575 Authority. In all theological questions, it is fair to give due weight to early opinions, accredited confessions of faith, and established practices; though always with this limitation, that we learn from the New Testament how, already in those days, serious error had found its way into the church, and that the apostles predict fresh importations of false doctrine and malpractices. It is a most extraordinary fact that, in the Old Testament times,…
