is entering on; and is afked by a grave attendant how his Holinefs does? Another hears himself addreffed under the title of Highness or Excellency, who lies under fuch mean circumstances of mortality, as appear, almost, a disgrace to human nature. Titles at such a time, look rather like insults and mockery than refpect. The truth is, Honours are not, in this world, under fufficient regulation; true quality is frequently neglected, virtue oppreffed and vice triumphant. The last Day will rectify this disaster, and affign to every one a station suitable to the dignity of his character; ranks will then be adjusted and precedency set right.-Addison. MAN over men

Tranfmigration of Science.

CANNOT better compare the tranfmigrations of science and art, than to the circulation of the blood: and I foresee that they will one

time or another forfake England France and Germany, and fettle among us, for many ages, to return into Greece, their first abode. -PETER THE GREAT.

Ma

Tranflation.

HOSOEVER wishes to translate a work faithfully, muft avoid rendering it literally, and must not be tied down by the too anxious ftudy to adhere to the precife wording of the original. He fhould, on the contrary, feize upon the precife meaning of entire fentences, and then render that meaning in fuch phrases as are most in accordance with the idiom and genius of the language in which he is writing.-MAIMONIDES.

2. No tranflation our own country ever yet produced, hath come up to that of the Old and New Teftament; and I am perfuaded that the tranflators of the Bible were masters of an English ftyle much fitter for that work than any we fee in our present

writings; the which is owing to the fimplicity that runs through the whole.-Ibid.

Tranfubftantiation.

OW is a Romanift prepared eafily to fwallow, not only against all probability, but even the clear evidence of his fenfes, the doctrine

of tranfubftantiation ?-Locke.

2. THE fubftance of the body of Chrift was not everywhere seen, nor did it everywhere fuffer death; everywhere it could not be entombed; it is not everywhere now, being exalted into Heaven.-DR. HOOKER.

3. CONSUBSTANTIATION,* and above all the Papistical doctrine of transubstantiation, or rather anthropophagy, for it deserves no better name, are irreconcileable, not only with reason and common fenfe, and the habits of mankind, but with the testimony of

The Lutherans hold confubftantiation; an error indeed, but not mortal.-J. M.

Scripture, with the nature and end of a Sacrament, with the analogy of baptifm, with the ordinary forms of language, with the human nature of Chrift, and, finally, with the state of glory in which he is to remain till the day of Judgment.-MILTON.

Travel.

RAVEL in the younger fort is a part of education; in the elder a part of experience.-LORD BA

CON.

2. HE that travelleth a country before he hath fome entry into the language, goeth to school, and not to travel.-Ibid.

3. IN thofe vernal feafons of the year, when the air is calm and pleasant, it were an injury and fullennefs against nature, not to go out and fee her riches, and partake in her rejoicings with heaven and earth. I should not therefore be a perfuader to them* of studying much then, after two or three years

Temples to the Deity.

HE Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footftool, where is the house that ye build unto me?"* All civilized nations dwell in houses: thence the idea naturally arofe in the minds of men to build a House for GOD, in which they can adore Him and feek Him, both in their fears and in their hopes. Nothing indeed, can be more confoling to the hearts of men, than to affemble in one place, where they all with one accord, give utterance to thofe fupplications which their wants and a sense of their weakness dictate.-DE MONTESQUIEU.

2. GOD has created me, God is within me, I carry him about everywhere. Shall I defile him with obfcene thoughts, unjust actions, or infamous defires? My duty is to thank God for every thing, to praise him for every thing; and to thank, praise and serve
