to fupport this, lie has had recourfe to the tnoft fanciful 
etymologies, contrary to the genius and ulage of the He¬ 
brew tongue, as well as to the moll extravagant and 
whimlical propofitions. He taught, that every Hebrew 
root has fome important meaning, or reprefents fome ob¬ 
vious idea of action or condition, railed by the fenfible 
objeft which it exprefies, and further defigned to fignify 
fpiritual and mental things. He maintained, that the 
covenant of grace is dearly typified by the cherubim in 
the prophet Ezekiel’s vifion, under the whole covenant 
of works. One of his fir ft profelytes was Mr. Catcut, a 
clergyman at Briftol, who, in a fermon of the Elohim, 
explains that vifion in words which comprife fome of Mr. 
Hutchinfon’s leading propofitions. “ This then, fays he, 
was the appearance ; the head of a bull, a man and lion 
together, and of an eagle ; fo they had three heads and 
four vifages ; the bodies were all joined in one, by this 
fignifying the unity of the eHence, and the diftinftion of 
the perfons, and man taken into the efl'ence by his per- 
fonal union with the fecond perfon, whole conftant em¬ 
blem was the lion, expreffed by cherubim, a word com¬ 
pounded of die, quafi, a word of likenefs, and rubim , the 
great ones, great in every refpeft, and in the higheft de- 
greej the animals feen in this appearance, were Rueims, 
great ones among the creatures, the chief of the tame, 
the wild, and the winged kinds ; fo it was named, the 
Jimilitude of the great ones." This explanation of the fcholar 
was approved and defended by the mailer, who fays, it 
is certain that the hieroglyphical emblems were never 
pretended to be explained before, and it is certain they 
are explained now. We are further told, that, befides the 
certainty of this expofition, the admiflion of it is a capi¬ 
tal article of religion 5 that this of the cherubim exhibits 
the maker and performer of the covenant and oath, and 
that all religion was performed before thefe emblematical 
faces. For the better conception of the form of the che¬ 
rubim, Mr. Hutchinfon caufed a print of it to be en¬ 
graved, reprefenting the two eherubims on the cover of 
the ark in the Holy of Holies, and above them the She- 
kinah, or Divine Glory, and below them the high prieft 
fprinkling blood toward the ark. ~ This he inferred in his 
Glory and Gravity; and fays, that both the Old and New 
Teftament were written to explain, and are but refer¬ 
ences to, what was exhibited in the figure, and that all 
tile heathen books do but aim at defcribing the fhadows 
of what was exhibited in it. Extravagant, however, as 
thefe notions were, he. has had followers even among the 
learned. The name of bifhop Horne,, and fome others, 
were for a Ihort time dilgraced by being called profelytes 
to the Hutchinfonian philofophy. His works were pub- 
liIhed in 174.8,, in ra vols. 8vol. by the Rev. Julius Bate, 
a ftrenuous advocate for his doftrines ; on whom he be¬ 
llowed the living of Sutton, in Sufiex ; the right of pre¬ 
sentation to which had been given to Mr. Hutchinfon by 
the duke of Somerfet.

the monaftery of Fulda, then at Cologne, and finally at 
HUT 603' 
the univerlity of Frankfort on the Oder, where he took 
the degree M. A. at the age of eighteen. Having im¬ 
bibed the opinions of Luther, he publilhed the bull of 
pope Leo X. again ft that reformer, with interlineary and 
marginal remarks, in which he treated the pontiff with 
fo little refpeft, that orders were tranfmitted from Rome 
to the eleftor of Mentz to fend Hutten thither in fetters. 
He had already manifefted his hoftility againft the papal 
court by publications expofing its continual attacks upon 
the emperors, and fmpofitions upon the German nation, 
which obliged him to retire from Mentz. He afterwards 
wandered from place to place, and was at Bafil in 1523, 
where the fenate made him a confitlerabie prefent. He 
finally took refuge in the Ilie of Uffnau, in the Lake of 
Zurich, where he died in 1523, in his thirty-fixth year. 
He was confidered as a man of learning; and publilhed- 
various Latin works in profe and verfe, which difplayed 
more animation than correftnefs. He alfo edited two new 
books of Livy, and difcovered new manufcripts of Pliny, 
Quintilian, and Marcellimis.

divine and profeffor, bom in 1563 at Ulm, where his fa¬ 
ther was minilter. His earlier education he received in 
his native city, and when of a proper age was fent to the 
univerfity of Stralburg. Here he purfued his liudies with 
commendable diligence and credit to his proficiency, and
