To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But now the sun is westering ; the shadow of the Palatine begins to creep across the Forum, and the villas on the Alban hills bum in the setting rays, and the Romans, before retiring to their homes, demand their last grand spectacle, — the death of some poor unhappy captive or gladiator. The victim steps upon the arena amid the deep stillness of the overwhelming multitude. It is no mimic combat his : he is '^ appointed to death." This lets us into the peculiar force of Paul's words, ^' I think ...that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were, appointed to death ; for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men." But the most touching recollection connected with this city is this, — even that part of the Word of God was written in it, and that a greater than Caesar has trodden its soil. A few paces below where we stand is the Mamertine prison, in whose dungeons, it id probable, Paul was confined ; for this was the state-prison, and offences against religion were accounted state-offences.
