Person's statements. Mr. Porson, when treating of the (29) Latin MSS. Which have already been alluded to as omitting the seventh verse, observes in a note, ' If any of these MSS. Add in terra, as perhaps one or two may, I am content they should be struck off the list. ' On this, the learned prelate remarks ' We may add off the list of oppo- nents, and transferred to that of advocates for the seventh verse. ' Again, * Mr. Porson was aware of the importance of the words in terra, as an evidence o...f the absent seventh verse, by their relation to the words in ccelo. He there- fore says in another place (p. 394. ) " Since the defenders of the verse may in this case, urge with some plausibility the homceoteleuton, I am content, as I have before said, that all such Latin MSS. Be neutral. " This was an ingenious piece of policy in Mr. Porson, to dispose of a palpable evidence of the seventh verse, ob- tained from MSS. Which omit that verse. ' Mr. Porson was as much above employing ' an ingenious piece of policy' in his critical inqui- ries, as Bishop Burgess ought to have been above suspecting him of it.
