Page 19, NOTES. _At end of Note on verse 25 add_: The phrase ומי יחוש חוץ
ממני requires further elucidation. The reading ממנו, supported by the
LXX., is also confirmed by Hebrew MSS. The literal rendering is――‘and
who hastens outside him.’ This the LXX. translate καὶ τίς πιέται πάρεξ
αὐτοῦ, ‘who drinks,’ etc. There is a reading of A², φείσεται, ‘spares.’
The former is supported by Peshito, Arabic, and Theodotion――the latter
by Aquila, Symmachus, and Jerome. If the Greek text alone had to be
considered, φείσεται would, as the harder reading, be entitled to
the preference. It is readily seen, however, that it arose from a
conjectural alteration of the Hebrew text into חוס, for which there is
no authority; neither will the meaning to ‘spare’ make any sense in the
context. As the root occurs frequently, we are driven to the conclusion
that the rendering of the LXX. was by design. Schleusner’s conjecture
that πίεται is used in the signification of ‘sensibus frui,’ is no
doubt correct――compare Habakkuk i. 8, as also Isaiah xxviii. 16.
Considered as _ad sensum_, this rendering gives the idea of the Hebrew
text correctly.

=THE BOOK OF CHURCH LAW.= Being an exposition of the Legal Rights
and Duties of the Clergy and Laity of the Church of England.
By the Rev. JOHN HENRY BLUNT, M.A., F.S.A. Revised by WALTER
G. F. PHILLIMORE, B.C.L., Barrister-at-Law, and Chancellor of
the Diocese of Lincoln. Crown 8vo. 7s. 6d.
“_We have tested this work on various points of a crucial character,
and have found it very accurate and full in its information. It
embodies the results of the most recent acts of the Legislature on
the clerical profession and the rights of the laity._”――STANDARD.
“_Already in our leading columns we have directed attention to Messrs.
Blunt and Phillimore’s ‘Book of Church Law,’ as an excellent manual
for ordinary use. It is a book which should stand on every clergyman’s
shelves ready for use when any legal matter arises about which its
possessor is in doubt.... It is to be hoped that the authorities at
our Theological Colleges sufficiently recognize the value of a little
legal knowledge on the part of the clergy to recommend this book to
their students. It would serve admirably as the text-book for a set
of lectures, and we trust we shall hear that its publication has done
something to encourage the younger clergy to make themselves masters of
at least the general outlines of Ecclesiastical Law, as it relates to
the Church of England._”――CHURCH TIMES.
