only then, will he have answered me. The proper names of the Bible are 
more or less found in all languages, but are significant only in Hebrew ; con- 
sequently Hebrew was their original. George is significant only in Greek ; 
therefore Greek was its original. This is the argument which is left un- 
touched. 
(viii.) Mr. Waringion objects to the derivation of Adam from dama, to re- 
semble. He shows that homo and humus are closely connected, and so 
Adam and Adama may be. 
Reply. — Adam is not a grammatical derivative from Adamah : the reverse 
would be the case. On the other hand, I have shown in No. 1 that Adam is 
grammatically formed from dama. 
(ix.) Mr. Warington asserts, that nephesh is never used for a bodily frame. 
Reply. — In Num. xix. 11, nephesh is used for the dead body of a man. 
(x.) Mr. Warington asserts, that in Isaiah xlv. 18, bar a (create) is used 
synonymously with “make” and “fashion.” 
Reply. — No expressions of Scripture are tautological. 
(xi.) On the passage “ the Lord creates evil,” Mr. Warington asks, would 
Hr. Baylee say that darkness and evil are complete states, and that light and 
good are imperfect ? 
Reply. — “ Evil ” and “ darkness,” in Isaiah xlv. 7, are used for what we 
call “ the ills of life.” God claims them as His creatures, and they are per- 
fectly adapted for their assigned work in His providential dealings. 
(xii.) I confess myself unable to see what Mr. Warington meant by quoting 
the whole verse in Gen. i. 27 : “ So God created man in His own image, in 
the image of God created He him : male and female created He them.” 
Surely “create” means the same in both parts of the passage. 
(xiii.) On the word thohu , Mr. Warington thinks he disproves my asser- 
tion that it means ruin by producing the following translations of the word : 
— nothing, nothingness, empty, worthless, emptiness, desolation. 
Reply. — Let us substitute those translations for the received one : — 
the earth was nothing ; the earth was nothingness ; the earth was empty ; 
the earth was worthless ; the earth was emptiness ; the earth was desolation. 
Is that not a state of ruin ? I should have been glad if Mr. Warington had 
answered my real arguments : — 1. Thohu and bohu are found only three 
times, and twice confessedly for ruin, the consequence of sin : why not the 
third time ? 2. The ruined state of Jerusalem is described as the city of 
thohu. 3. God expressly declares that He did not create the earth thohu. 
4. Why is thohu never applied to heaven ? 
(xiv.) Mr. Warington ascribes to me the idea of confounding thunder with 
volcanic action. 
Reply. — I simply stated the fact that in all volcanic countries the rumbling 
noise of earthquakes is called thunder, in illustration of “ at the voice of Thy 
thunder they hasted away.” 
(xv.) In reply to my statement that there are no historic nations south of 
the Torrid Zone, Mr. Warington says, “ Hr. Baylee should have first looked 
at the map to see what field there was for their existence there.”
