I Jesus sent my angel to testify these things to you for the churches. I am the shoot and the offspring of David, the bright morning-star.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him that heareth say, Come! And let him that thirsteth come! Whoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any one shall add to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if any one shall take away from the words of the book

20

of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written of in this book.

He who testifieth these things saith, Yea, I come quickly. Amen; come, Lord Jesus!

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.

NEW READINGS OF TISCHENDORF.

SINCE the completion of Dr. Noyes's Translation, the fifth part of Tischendorf's eighth critical edition of the Greek Testament has appeared, extending from Luke xviii. 10 to John vi. 23. The text of this new edition differs in some places from that of his Synopsis Evangelica, published in 1864, which was followed by Dr. Noyes in this portion of the Gospels. The following is a list of those changes of the text which require a change in the translation.

E. A.

Luke xviii. 11, omits "by himself."

out children."

12, inserts the article "the" before synagogues.
