THE RELIGIOUS WORLD

DREXELIUS :. HIS BOOK. Drexelius was a foreigner. 'That much I know about him from a statement made, in a delightfully illusive dedicatory epistle, by the translator of his ' Considerations.' The. translator himself was a Fellow r>? King's College, Cambridge, and to h<m Drexelius—-whether the man or only his writings I cannot exactly determine--was introduced by a traveller, " a most religious and learned gentleman," who, nourished in the Roman Church, had M-t turned Protestant. No more than this "do I know about Drexelius, his translator, or the " Right Worshipfull and truly Religious Inquire," of Brent Hall, in Essex, to whom the translation was dedicated. "Internal]. External!, and Eternal] Happmesso " was the greeting given to this truly religious esquire, and I gather from the translator's letter of delicate praisa that the work of translation was undertaker, in order that this comprehensive blessing might be obtained, for which purpose the intended recipient -was admonished to let Drexelius '" round him in the eir Morning Noo 1 \l3ht with 1 Ron mbn t r of I tcmit\ Jho (haini of this t) 11] tio i ot tl" "in" f o"Sidii ttion of Dttxehus unon I Uinil\ i to n l l nefh in lit, m\=terj lh t s ut( imi thi boil Ho vit < mo tc n jo tsim I c nrot tell un't s 111 ed the truth is, as 1 sometimes fancy, that, it wa-s hid on nj pi Jm \ lnle I s]pj t It "i 1 ami u thrto ocntu-c ac-> am nnu\
