Then came the Sermon,—then, all stood and prayed,—then followed Holy Communion.—_Apol._ i. c. 67, (_ed_.

(_ed._ 1856.) vol. iii. p. 281-2. The learned reader is perhaps aware of the importance of the preface to Van der Hooght’s _Hebrew Bible_, (_ed._ 1705) § 35: in connexion with which, see vol. ii. p. 352 _b._ 336 Thus, the κυριακή τῆς τυροφάγου is “Quinquagesima Sunday;” but _the week_ of “the cheese-eater” is the week _previous_. 337 See Suicer’s _Thesaurus_, vol. ii. 920. 338 “Apud Rabbinos, לודגח תבש _Sabbathum Magnum_. Sic vocatur Sabbathum proximum ante Pascha.”—Buxtorf, _Lexicon Talmud._ p. 2323.
