In matters which regard companions and follow travellers wo should blush to commit injustice. In dividing estates among the heirs we should shrink from all partiality.

G. p. "Much or little." The principles by which we are to be governed in the acquisition of pro- perty, mnsrt be held sacred.

G. "A seal is a good thing over a;wicked wife." P. " Sure keeping is good, where an evil wife is." The husband should keep his money under seal, well guarded, if his wife be disposed to waste it.

G. "A daughter that is hidden, is a cause of watching to her father." The Hebrew term for virgin, means hidden. The father is solicitous for the integrity of his maiden daughter. P. " The father waketh for the daughter when no man knoweth." i» A woman, kind and obliging, is more dangerous than a man openly hostile, since her kindness may lead us to sin and shame.

G. " His work is full of ffis glory." The Alexandrian manuscript and the Polyglot of Alcala has :

G. "That the universe should be established for His glory."
