he prints it thus twice (pages.231 and 
233). Robert Stephens affures us, that 
his codex Z reads Siaconny eyuot, but in ‘the 
Parifian codex a7 (as:alfo in 49) neither 
of thefe word§ is to be found in this paf- 
faze. Would not Mr. Travis have fhown 
his prudence by {paring himfelf the ex- 
pence of his Parifian journey ? or perhaps 
it would have been fill more prudent in 
him, not to forget himfelf To far as to

with the: utmett good nature, confo ales 
him upon this occafion, and points out

though Mr. ‘Pravis may have made a

to Paris has been of fome ufe to him 
upon the whole, and that at anyrate he is 
not fo bad a fcholar as the copier of the 
Codex Corfendoncenfis. Let them call 
him anything but that, but: it grieves 
me much to fee an archdeacon of the 
church of England treated with fo little 
ceremony... The worft part of the cafe 
with thefe Germans is, that they care 
not a fingle ftraw about orthodoxy or he- 
refy ; they would fooner give up their 
Téftaments than foift in the flighte® for-
