487. “Who shall dwell his spirit within them.” There is much unnecessary cri. ticism on these words. It is a classical structure and mode of expression. “Who shall dwell in spirit," or as to his spirit ; kata, 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.)

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 watch tower.

611. “ For God is also in sleep." Il. 163 :

Και γαρ τ' οναρ εκ Διoς εστιν. . 615. “In me mora

non erit ulla." Ecl. iii. 52.-(N.)

630. “Marish." An old word for marsh, from mariscus, as rushes commonly grow there.

635. Hor. Epod. iii. 15:"Nec tantus unquam siderum insedit vapor

Saticulosæ 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 imi. tation 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 disinal 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 their affliction, “ Providence" was "their guide."
