striking example. that the world is govern.
ed by the providence Of Almighty God
and as the holy angels, whose ministry God
makes use of in distributing his bountifui
gifts, punctually execute all his commands;
so Satan himself with his agents are TN Ter
the power Of God, and cannot inAict any
evils on mankind without the divine per-
mission. Thus, when the sons OF God
(angeis) came and presented themselves
before the Lord, it is said that Satan came
also among them. Now, the word ostare,
to present ones self, as Moses Maimoni-
des observes, signifies to be prepared to
receive Jehovah's commands but Satan
came of his own accord, and mixed with
them without any summons.
Now, as to the disease, it is plain that
it was cuticular, and as il is as certain that
the bodies of the Hebrews were very liza
bic to foul ulcers OF the skin from time i'm
memorial; upon which account it is. that
learned men are of opinion that they were
forbid the eating OF swine's flesh, (Which,
as it affords gross nourishmeut, and not
easy perspirabIe, is very improper food in
such constitutions); wherefore, by hsw
much hotter the countries were which they
inhabited, such as are the desarts OF Ara
bia, the more severely these disorders ra
ged. And authors of other nations, who
dcspised and envied the Jews, say, that it
was upon this account that they were dri-
ven out OF Egypt lest the leprosy, a dis
ease common among them, should spread
over the country. But there is another
much worse disease, SO frequent in Egypt,
that it is said to be epidemical there. tho
ii may also be engendered in this hot ceun-
try, | mean the elephan,iasis. Perhaps it
was this, which is nearly OF the same ma
ture with the leprosy, that had affected
the body Of cur ghteous man."
have only further to observe, that sup
posing the three known verses in,the nine
teenth chapter, 10 refer not TO Jobs resur-
rection from The dead at the last day but
to his restoration to health and prosperity,
after being brought by sickness to the brink
oil the grave, is no new supposition. 1t
was the supposi,ion OF Calvin, Of Bishop
Patrick, as well as of many of the ancient
expositors; yethis recovery being type
OF the resurrection OF the body at the G eat
day, the words of job are well applied for
this urpose, in the office for the burial of
the dead.

4, LOVE AND WAR.
Asa and fatal contest took place on
saturdgaI3 enight between two men, one
of the name of Enpch Davis. the other Ste
phen Jones. il appears that they had been
rivals in their addresses to tradssman's
daughter, and that Jones was accepted for
her future husband. In consequence of this
preference, Davis vowed hostility against
the other, and whenever he met him, en-
deavered without effect, TO provoke him to
fight. On Saturday evening week they met
accidentally on the Kent road, London.
Davis again challenged him to fight: his
manner, and the refusal of the other to
engage in a contest with a man against
whom he entertained no enmity, attracted
crowd around them, and Davis took this
public opportunity of saying that If Jones'
would fight and beat him, he would give
up all bis pretensions 10 the girl, who, he
maintained, had loved himself before she
knew Jones. Jones still wished to avoid
fighting, but under the circumstances he
yielded TO The voice of the multitude
They set to, and fought for upwards of two
hours with such desperate fury that they
at length fell ge'her, both exhausted
Davis was removed to neighboling house,
where he expired on Sunday morning
week, and Jones is in very hopeless con-
dition. A coroner's inquest was held on
the body Of Davis on Tuesday se'nnight.
Several witnesses proved that Jones wish
ed to resign the contest long before its ter
mination, but had been in some degree
compelled to fight. In.the last round the
deceased fell, and Jones fell upon him.
The seconds brought them up again Tor
another round, but the deceased fell back
into the arms of his second, and never
spoke AFTER A MIR. Cornish stated, that
the deceased fell several times from weak
ness, but was urged to continue the con-
test by the spectators, particularly the Sc
conds. named Bird and Sherrington, the
latter of whom was particularly active in
keeping off the crowd with whip. The
jury returned verdict Of manslaughter a.
gainst Jones and the two seconds, the two
last of whom have been committed. The
5 sler of Jones attended at the same time,
and was roughly handled by the friends of
the deceased.
