and natural method of reconciling those expressions, in which the going out of the Israelites is said to have taken place, in some passages by day, and in others by night."

Now if these reasonings be correct, a beautiful and wonderfully circumstantial conformity between one of the chief paschal types, and its antitype, is exhibited. In the perfection and closeness of their correspondence, they stand, perhaps, unrivalled; and present to us a most striking evidence of the divine origin of the law, and of the identity of Jesus as the true paschal lamb, prefigured in it.

Another consequence is, that the discovery sweeps away the groundwork of the celebrated controversy respecting the day, in which our Lord partook of the Last Passover.

"For it was not only not essential, but not conformable to the accurate fulfilment of the paschal types, that our Lord should have celebrated the last Passover before the national day. It is in the highest degree improbable, and at variance with the general tenor of his character and conduct, that he should do so. There is direct evidence (Matt. xxvi. 17. Mark, xiv. 12. Luke, xxii. 7.) that He did not do so. An explanation can be given of those phrases which might seem to imply the anticipation of the national day. Therefore, as long as the first covenant was in force, He set an example of obedience, in all things lawful, both to its ordinances and to its ecclesiastical authorities. He annulled nothing, He resisted nothing, He removed nothing of the law, till its destined purpose had been effected, and the fulness of time had come. The paschal supper was not abrogated till the last anniversary of it had been duly observed. The adjuration of the High Priest was not despised, till our High

I cannot but think, that an inaccurate view of the paschal types and a pious desire to reconcile a seeming discrepancy, predisposed the many learned men, who have maintained the anticipation of the national day for celebrating the Passover, to admit and support the arguments for an act so anomalous, and so uncongenial with the principles upon which our Saviour generally appears to have modelled his conduct. The statements in Matt. xxvi. 17. Mark, xiv. 12. and Luke, xxii. 7. are so plain, and decisive, that no effort is necessary to understand their purport; but considerable ingenuity has been required to raise a doubt upon them. The difficulty, too, and the differences of opinion among critics, in attempting to account for the anticipation, is remarkable. The reader may see them briefly stated in Jennings' Jewish Antiquities, p. 455. In the second part of the Appendix to my Sermon on the Passover, I have endeavoured to show, and I trust not unsuccessfully, that there are insuperable objections to the scheme of the Anticipation, and clear evidence on the other side.

Priest had offered the one great and all-sufficient sacrifice. The vail of the temple was not "rent in twain," till Jesus had given up the ghost, and the eternal mercy-seat had been "opened to all believers." His conduct, to the last, was in unison with His solemn declaration; Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." J. E. N. MOLESWORTH.

Alas, Sæpe evenit iis, qui artem nostram exercent, ut, dum astra speculantur, ea, quæ ante pedes sunt, non videant.

Sed ne hic quidem verbi sedem ita demonstrare licet, nihil ut dubitationis supersit. Et erunt fortasse, qui Phryn. memoriæ lapsu Phadonem pro libris de LL. 2. p. 583. laudasse dicant: Εν ᾧ χρόνῳ μήπω κέκτηται τὴν οἰκείαν φρόνησιν, πᾶν μαίνεταί τε καὶ βοᾷ ἄτακτως· καὶ ὅταν ἀκταινώσῃ ἑαυτὸ, τάχιστα ἀτάκτως αὖ πηδᾷ.

Ad Esch. referenda est glossa Hesychii hæc : ̓Ακταίνειν μετ τεωρίζειν. « Equidem arbitror locum a Phryn. citatum, Οὐκ ἔτ ̓ ἀκταίνω, alium esse atque illum Eum. 36., deinde ap. Εtym.

Sed mirum est viris doctis hodieque non suboluisse veram lectionem in Etym. M. sic corrigendo: ̓Ακταινόμενον, τὸ ἀνάγον καὶ δυνάμενον ἀνορθοῦν. Nam vulg. istud ἀκταῖνον μένος parum Græcum videtur. Cf. Εtym. G., a quo conjectura nostra satis firmatur: 'Ακταίνειν· τὸ μετεωρίζεσθαι καὶ ἐπαίρειν, παρὰ τὸ ἦκται ἀκτὸς, τὸ ῥῆμα ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἀκτῶ, ἀφ ̓ οὗ τὸ κουφίζω παρ' Αἰσχύλῳ, ἀφ ̓ οὗ ἀκταίνω, μετοχὴ ἀκταινόμενον τὸ ἀνάγον καὶ δυνάμενον ἀνορθοῦν.
