The taste and principles which he introduced and encouraged, have been carefully preserved and nourished, since the duty of supporting them has passed into less able hands; and the following sheets, it is hoped, will attest some diligence and assiduity, at least, in the prosecution of his views.

A second volume is promised to the public, on the important argument of tradition. In this it is not intended to accumulate the usual convincing texts of the Fathers, but rather to communicate such remarks, as the study of those venerable authorities has suggested to the Author. The period of its publication will depend upon circumstances, of which he cannot as yet judge: but no time will be lost in the completion of the work.

SIXTH CHAPTER OF ST. JOHN,

FROM VERSE 26 TO ITS CONCLUSION.

GREEK TEXT.

26. ̓Απεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν. Αμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν· Ζητεῖτέ με, οὐχ ὅτι εἴδετε σημεῖα, ἀλλ ̓ ὅτι εφάγετε ἐκ τῶν ἄρτων, καὶ ἐχορτάσθητε.

27. Εργάζεσθε μὴ τὴν βρῶσιν τὴν ἀπολλυμένην, ἀλλὰ τὴν βρῶσιν τὴν μένουσαν εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον, ἣν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὑμῖν δώσει· τοῦτον γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ἐσφράγισεν, ὁ Θεός.

28. Εἶπον οὖν πρὸς αὐτόν· Τί ποιῶμεν, ἵνα ἐργαζώμεθα τὰ ἔργα τοῦ θεοῦ; Απεκρίθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς. 29. Τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ ἔργον τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα πιστεύσητε εἰς ὃν ἀπέστειλεν ἐκεῖνος.

26. Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

27. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

28. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

29. Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
