333 NOTES. 



Latin adds that it had its beginning with the Rabbins and Cabbalists. 

 See p. 263. [16] Mark xiii. 31. [19] Comp. Luke xxiv. 5. [28] The 

 authority of one who is treating of a different &quot;nbject is of small 

 weight, i.e. in regard to those things which he only mentions in 

 cidentally. 



P- 263. [5] Matt. xxiv. 35. Noli altum sapere was the motto of the 

 printer Robert Stephens, [i 2] See, for an example of answers of this 

 kind, Luke ix. 47, 48. 



P. 264. [20-32] For ... times : Omitted in the Latin. In its place 

 is substituted an application to theology of the illustration he makes 

 use of in Ess. Ivi. p. 223, in reference to the administration of justice: 

 And where the wine-presse is hard wrought, it yeelds a harsh wine, 

 that tastes of the grape- stone.* The following is Mr. Spedding s trans 

 lation of the passage in the De Augm. : Certainly as we find it in 

 wines, that those which flow freely from the first treading of the 

 grape are sweeter than those which are squeezed out by the wine 

 press, because the latter taste somewhat of the stone and the rind; 

 so are those doctrines most wholesome and sweet which ooze out of 

 the Scriptures when gently crushed, and are not forced into controversies 

 and common places. [21] Livy ix. 19. [26] island: So edd. 1629, 

 1633; islands in ed. 1605. [Ib.] Brittany: Brittanie in ed. 1605.

P. 265. [8] Comp. Ess. iii. p. 8 : For you may imagine, what kinde 

 of faith theirs was, when the chiefs doctors, and fathers of their church, 

 were the poets. But the true God hath this attribute, that he is a 

 jealous God ; and therefore, his worship and religion will endure no 

 mixture, nor partner. 



P. 266. [i] privately: So edd. 1605, 1629, 1633. Mr. Spedding, with 

 great probability, reads privatively. [20] thought, word, or act: Comp. 

 Plato, Protag. i. 3^8 D. [32] man: So edd. 1629, 1633; mans in ed. 

 1605.

 witchcraft is the height of idolatry: See King James s treatise on
