457. Eph. i. 20.—(H.)

475. 2 Cor. iv. 15; Rom. v. 20.—(T.) 487. "Who shall dwell his spirit within them." There is much unnecessary criticism on these words. It is a classical structure and mode of expression. "Who shall dwell in spirit," or as to his spirit; Kaтa, or secundum, the spirit; or who, i.e. the spirit, shall dwell. Some commentators, however, say "dwell" here means, cause to dwell.

493. i. e. Not afraid of man even though he persecute them to death. See Psalm lvi. 11.—(N.)

498. See Acts ii. 4; Mark xvi. 17.(H.)

507. See Acts xx. 29.- (N.)

522, 523. i. e. Laws which are not conformable to the records of revealed religion, or the emotions of natural religion. -(H.)

526. So 2 Cor. iii. 17.-(N.)

527. Christians are called the temples of God, 1 Cor. iii. 16, 17.-(N.) 540. " Respiration." avayugis, Acts

iii. 19.-(D.)

549. The notion of a new heaven and earth springing from the ruins of this world at its dissolution, Milton has often broached in this poem, iii. 333; x. 638; xi. 65, 900. It is also the opinion of some of the most orthodox divines, and of the most contemplative and learned. (See N.)

568. 1 Cor. i. 27.—(N.)

584. This is taken from St. Paul's noble description of charity, 1 Cor. xiii. 588. " Speculation," from specula, a

635. Hor. Epod. iii. 15:

"Nec tantus unquam siderum insedit vapor Saticulosa Apuliæ."-(R.)

640. " Subjected plain." Campum subjectum, the plain below. Subject and "subjected" are so used in the best old English poets.

643. " Flaming brand." "Brand" is

an old word for sword. Salanus Westmannus, in his dissertation entitled, Gladius Scythicus, pp. 6, 7, observes, that the ancients formed their swords in imitation of flaming fire; and thus from "brand," a sword, came our English phrase, to "brandish a sword," gladium strictum vibrando corruscare facere.(T., Wart.)

646-649. The passage has been the subject of much dispute. Pearce's explanation of the text is quite satisfactory. Though they were under the general guidance of Providence to keep them safe, yet their steps were "wandering," as they did not know any particular way to take; and though they obeyed the divine command, yet their steps were "slow" when they were quitting the boundaries of Paradise, on which they often looked back; and their way was now in reality "solitary," for though their walks in Paradise were solitary in some measure, yet there they had familiar and cheering objects; not so in their dismal journey to the outer world, which was strange to them, and comparatively desert. Addison thinks the poem, from the want of sufficient dignity in the last two lines, would better end with the two preceding, "the world," &c. I fully agree with those who would retain these last lines, as conveying a melancholy picture, quite in character with the condition of Adam and Eve, but would transpose them, and thus leave on the reader's mind the cheering persuasion that in their affliction, "Providence" was "their guide.”
