Genesis, chap. viii. S-I2. The Offering of Turtle-doves or Pigeons, re 

 ferred to immediately after, will be found in Leviticus xii. 6, 8, and Luka 

 ii. 24. The Descent of the Holy Ghost, also mentioned in the same para- 

 graph, is related in St Matthew iii. 16 j St. Mark i. ip ; St. Luke iii. 22 j 

 and St. John L 32. With the exception of the third reference, however, 

 the words imply that the Holy Spirit descended in the manner of a Dove, 

 overshadowing and covering that which is beneath ; but Dr. Whitby, in 

 his "Paraphrase and Commentary on the New Testament," Land. 1727, 

 fol. vol. i. p. 370, says that even that passage has the same meaning, since 

 it is not a bodily form as of a Dove, but as a Dove, which is similar to the 

 phrase used in Acts ii. 3, as of Fire. "This bodily shape," he continues, 

 "seems rather to have been that of light, or of a bright cloud, in which 

 God usually appeared under the Old Testament, and from which he spake, 

 and which is usually called 'the Glory of the Lord.' " Dr. Doddridge, in 

 his "Family Expositor," Lond. 1760, 4to, vol. i. p. 115, Note g, says, 

 that the phrase might have been used without any actual appearance, ' ' but 

 only a lambent flame falling from Heaven with a dove-like motion, which 

 Dr. Scot, in his Christian Life, vol. iii. p. 66, supposes to have been all. 

 Dr. Owen and Grotius think it was a bright flame in the shape of a Dove, 

 and Justin Martyr adds, that all Jordan shone with the reflection of the 

 light." See also Dr. Henry Hammond's "Paraphrase and Annotations 

 on the New Testament," and Bishop Jeremy Taylor's "DuctorDubi- 

 tantium. " Hawkins.

The following work was doubtless in Walton's memory when this pas- 

 sage was written. " The Feminine Monarchic : or the Historic of Bees. 

 Shewing their admirable nature and properties, their generation and 

 colonies, their gouernment, loyaltie, art, industrie, enemies, warres, mag- 

 nanimitie, etc. Together with the right ordering of them from time to 

 time : and the sweet profit arising therefrom. Written out of experiment
