That is, “reherseth, after, or according to, the Tales or Legends of the _Jews_, concerning _Solomon_.” Ibid. line 8. Þe glass to barst. _To_, perhaps for “al to,” _statim_, _penitus_. Thus in our _English_ Version of the Bible, (Judg. ix. 53.) “And a certain Woman cast a Piece of a Millstone upon _Abimelech’s_ Head, and al to brake his Skull.” Ibid. line 14. þe on & twenty Salme. 2i. The Editor is not sure that he has rightly deciphered the Letters represented by “2i;” he once thought they were “xi,” but this seemed inexplicable, and he now believes them to be an Attempt of a very ignorant Transcriber to represent in _Arabic_ Numerals the Number of the Psalm referred to. PAGE xxxvi. line 15. Poul writiþ to þe romayns. This Reference belongs to what goes before, not to what follows. _Mr. Vaughan_, in his _Life of Wycliffe_[108], not perceiving this, has altered the Text to make the Sense perfect, and quotes the Passage thus: “So, when we were sinful, and the Children of Wrath, God’s Son came out of Heaven, and praying His Father for His Enemies, He died for us. Then much rather shall we be saved, now we are made righteous through His Blood. St. Paul writeth to the _Romans_, that _Jesus_ should pray for us, and that He went into Heaven to appear in the Presence of God for us. The same also he writeth to the _Hebrews_, the which Presence may He grant us to behold, who liveth and reigneth without End.—Amen.” Mr. _Vaughan_, however, does not tell his Readers what Passage of the Epistle to the _Romans_, occurring, also, in the Epistle to the _Hebrews_, he supposes our Author to have quoted. There exists, in Fact, no such Passage; nor does the Text stand in Need of any Emendation. The References, in both Cases, come after the Passages quoted; and this removes all the Difficulty which Mr. _Vaughan_ appears to have found in the Reading of the original Manuscript. FINIS.
