(Delivered May 6, 1860.) LET NO MAN THEREFORE JUDGE YOU IN MEAT OR IN DRINK, OR IN RESPECT OF AN HOLY-DAY, OR OF THE NEW MOON, OR OF THE SABBATH DAYS, WHICH ARE A SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME: BUT THE BODY IS OF CHRIST. Μὴ οὖν τις ὑμᾶς κρινέτω ἐν βρώσει ἢ ἐν πόσει ἢ ἐν μέρει ἑορτῆς ἢ Α ἐστιν σκιὰ τῶν μελλόντων, τὸ δὲ σῶμα Χριστοῦ. THERE REMAINETH THEREFORE A REST, (A KEEPING OF SABBATH,) FOR THE Εἰ γὰρ αὐτοὺς Ἰησοῦς κατέπαυσεν, οὐκ ἂν περὶ ἄλλης ἐλάλει μετὰ ταῦτα Αρα ἀπολείπεται σαββατισμὸς τῷ λαῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ. GO YE UP UPON HER WALLS, AND DESTROY; BUT MAKE NOT A FULL END; TAKE AWAY HER BATTLEMENTS; FOR THEY ARE NOT THE LORD'S. ̓Ανάβητε ἐπὶ τοὺς προμαχώνας αὐτῆς, καὶ κατασκάψατε, συντέλειαν δὲ οὐ μὴ ποιήσετε ὑπολίπεσθε τὰ ὑποστηρίγματα αὐτῆς, ὅτι τοῦ Κυρίου εἰσίν. GO YE UP UPON HER BATTLEMENTS, AND DESTROY; BUT MAKE NOT A FULL END; (Delivered June 10, 1860.) STAND YE IN THE WAYS, AND SEE, AND ASK FOR THE OLD PATHS, WHERE IS THE GOOD WAY, AND WALK THEREIN, AND YE SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR Στῆτε ἐπὶ ταῖς ὁδοῖς καὶ ἴδετε, καὶ ἐρωτήσατε τρίβους Κυρίου αἰωνίους· καὶ ἴδετε ποία ἐστιν ἡ ὁδὸς ἡ ἀγαθὴ, καὶ βαδίσατε ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ εὑρήσετε ἁγνισμὸν (v. Ι. ἁγιασμὸν) ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν. Ex Vers. LXX. (Conf. Matt. xi. 29, καὶ εὑρήσετε ἀνάπαυσιν ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν.) THIS IS THE DAY WHICH THE LORD HATH MADE; WE WILL REJOICE AND BE Αὕτη ἡ ἡμέρα ἣν ἐποίησεν ὁ Κύριος· ἀγαλλιασώμεθα καὶ εὐφρανθῶμεν ἐν LECTURE I. MARK XVI. 1, 2, 5, 6. AND WHEN THE SABBATH WAS PAST, MARY MAGDALENE, AND MARY THE MOTHER OF JAMES, AND SALOME, HAD BOUGHT SWEET SPICES, THAT THEY MIGHT COME AND ANOINT HIM. AND VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, THEY CAME UNTO THE SEPULCHRE AT THE RISING OF THE SUN. AND ENTERING INTO THE SEPULCHRE, THEY SAW A YOUNG MAN SITTING ON THE RIGHT SIDE, CLOTHED IN A LONG WHITE GARMENT, AND THEY WERE AFFRIGHTED. AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, BE NOT AFFRIGHTED: YE SEEK JESUS OF NAZARETH WHICH WAS CRUCIFIED: HE IS RISEN. Καὶ διαγενομένου τοῦ σαββάτου, Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Ἰακώβου καὶ Σαλώμη ἠγόρασαν ἀρώματα, ἵνα ἐλθοῦσαι ἀλείψωσιν αὐτόν. Καὶ λίαν πρωὶ τῆς μιᾶς σαββάτων ἔρχονται ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον, ἀνατέλλοντος (σ. Ι. ἀνατείλαντος) τοῦ ἡλίου.

THE intelligent visitor of a cathedral, whether in England or on the continent, is often surprised and puzzled by the traditions which he finds attached to it. He is assured with great earnestness, or at any rate with sufficient gravity by his attendant, that this or that part of the structure is due to such a person's piety, that at B such a shrine some notable worthy paid his devotions, or that it was through that pictured window, now perhaps illumined by a glorious sunset, that the same sun looked down mournfully on the passion of such a martyr. And here, adds the narrator, is the pillar before which he fell. Our visitor, we say, is perplexed-he is unwilling entirely to disbelieve the account-he has a sort of general notion that some building, which may have resembled this in many respects, existed on this site or near to it from a very remote date. The names of which he is told are those of historical personages connected more or less with the scene. But then he has some architectural knowledge, and this more than half convinces him that his informant is either mistaken in his facts or incorrect in his chronology. On consulting his books he discovers, that though the facts have a foundation in truth, they are connected with an older edifice whose associations have been transferred to one of a later age, perhaps through mere inadvertence, perhaps through a not unnatural wish to advance pretensions to antiquity for what one admires and reverences, perhaps through other motives not altogether so excusable.' As it is with particular buildings, so it is with cities. Rome was "the City of Seven Hills," even when more were taken into its circuit than the Festival Septimontium indicated.
