[198:5] See the chapter on "The Worship of the Virgin." [199:1] _Ganesa_ is the _Indian_ God of Wisdom. (See Asiatic Researches, vol. i.) [199:2] The _Ring_ and circle was an emblem of god, or eternity, among the _Hindoos_. (See Lundy: Monumental Christianity, p. 87.) [199:3] The Cobra, or hooded snake, is a native of the _East Indies_, where it is held as sacred. (See Knight: Anct. Art and Mytho., p. 16, and Fergusson's Tree and Serpent Worship.) [199:4] _Linga_ denotes, in the sectarian worship of the _Hindoos_, the _Phallus_, an emblem of the male or generative power of nature. [199:5] _Iona_, or _Yoni_, is the counterpart of Linga, _i. e._, an emblem of the female generative power. We have seen that these were attached to the effigies of the _Hindoo_ crucified Saviour, Crishna. [199:6] Anacalypsis, vol. ii. p. 130. [199:7] See Lundy: Monumental Christianity, pp. 253, 254, 255.

(See Lundy's Monumental Christianity, pp. 19 and 247.) "The _lamb_ slain (at the feast of the passover) was roasted whole, with two spits thrust through it--one lengthwise, and one transversely--crossing each other near the fore legs; so that the animal was, in a manner, _crucified_. Not a bone of it might be broken--a circumstance strongly representing the sufferings of our Lord Jesus, _the passover slain for us_." (Barnes's Notes, vol. i. p. 292.)
