A HE similitude and derivation of languages afford
the most indubitable proof of the traduction of nations,
and the genealogy of mankind. They often add phy-
sical certainty to historical evidence, and supply the
only evidence of ancient migrations, and of the revo-
lutions of ages which left no written monuments behind
them.

Ezra is thought by some to be the same with Malachi,
the prophet. In Malachi, i. 1. it is said, "the burthen

The Jews divided the Pentateuch into sections,
which they called Paraschahs, one of which being read
every Sabbath-day, the whole Pentateuch was thus
read over once a year ; after the reading of the law,
followed that of the prophets, before which they

origin of the ceremony of baptism, as used by
the Jews to their proselytes, is entirely unknown. The
Rabbies will have it to be of very ancient date ; some
carry it
up to the time of Moses. St. Paul seems to
have been of the same opinion, when he saith the

have owed its rise to the Pharisees. It is manifest
