Ver. 2. תלע ראיה-ןמ, literally, _Out of the river ascending_; LXX, Εκ του ποταμου ανεβαινον; Vulg., _De quo ascendebant_; Luther, {Aus dem Wasser steigen}; Coverdale, _Out of the water there came_; Tyndale, _There came out of the river_. Ver. 3. הנדמעתו, Tyn Tyndale, _And stode_, which is quite literal; Vulg., _Et pascebantur_; Luther, {Und traten}; Coverdale, _And went_. Ver. 7. םולח הנהו, lit. _And behold a dream_; Vulg., _Post quietem_; Tyndale, _And see, here is his dream_; Luther, {Und merckte daß es ein Traum war}; Coverdale, _And saw that it was a dream_. Such instances might be multiplied to any extent. Their effect upon my mind was to convince me that Coverdale did not even know the Hebrew letters when he published his version of the Bible. In fact, the Jews being then expelled from England, and the only Hebrew Lexicon, that of Xantes Pagninus, having probably not arrived here, it was scarcely possible for an Englishman to master the Hebrew tongue, without going abroad to obtain access to learned Jews, as Tyndale did, and as Coverdale himself did after the appearance of his Bible; and then, as I think Mr. Pearson has afforded some evidence, he may have become acquainted with Hebrew. If H. H. H. V. desires to know more of Coverdale, he can find all that late researches have been able to discover in the first volume of Mr C. Anderson's _Annals of the English Bible_, and in the biographical notice of Coverdale prefixed to the Parker Society's edition of his _Remains_, by the Rev. G. Pearson. But when that gentleman describes Coverdale's portion of Matthew's Bible, and says that the book of Jonah is of Tyndale's version, he has made a mistake. Perhaps I may be allowed to say, that the question, whether Tyndale put forth any version of Jonah, is _adhuc sub judice_. At any rate, I can say, from collation, that the Jonah in Matthew's Bible is identical with that which Coverdale put forth in his own version. The account of our early versions in Macknight's _Introduction to the Epistles_ is very erroneous; and that prefixed to D'Oyley and Mant's Bible, published by the Christian Knowledge Society, is far from being correct. HENRY WALTER. SERJEANTS' RINGS AND MOTTOES. (Vol. v., pp. 59. 92.) For much curious information upon these subjects, I would refer your correspondents to a rather scarce and privately printed tract or volume, entitled _Observations touching the Antiquity and Dignity of Serjeant-at-Law_, 1765. I am not sure that it was not subsequently reprinted and published. The author was Mr. Serjeant Wynne. He says:
