This is, I think, an earlier example than any that has yet been given in
"N. & Q."

"_Atonement_" (Vol. ix., p. 271.).--The word [Greek: katallage], used by
Aeschylus and Demosthenes, occurs 2 Cor. v. 19., Rom. xi. 15. v. 11. The
word _atonement_ bears two senses: the first, _reconciliation_, as used by
Sir Thomas More, Shakspeare, Beaumont and Fletcher, and Bishops Hall and
Taylor; the second, _expiation_, as employed by Milton, Swift, and Cowper.
In the latter meaning, we find it in Numbers, and other books of the Old
Testament, as the translation of [Greek: hilasma].

Waterland speaks of "the doctrine of expiation, atonement, or satisfaction,
made by Christ in His blood" (_Disc. of Fundamentals_, vol. v. p. 82.).
Barrow, Secker, and Beveridge use the word _atone_ or _atonement_ in this
combined sense of the term. R. Gloucester, Chaucer, and Dryden expressly
speak "at one," in a similar way; and, {504} not to multiply passages, we
may merely cite Tyndal:

"There is but one mediator, Christ, as saith St. Paul, 1 Tim. ii., and
by that word understand an _atone-maker_, a peace-maker, and bringer
into grace and favour, having full power so to do."--_Expos. of Tracy's
Testament_, p. 275., Camb. 1850.

MACKENZIE WALCOTT, M.A.

As a contribution towards the solution of J. H. B.'s Query, I send you the
following extracts from Richardson's _Dictionary_:

"And like as he made the Jewes and the Gentiles _at one_ between
themselves, even so he made them both _at one_ with God, that there
should be nothing to break the _atonement_; but that the thynges in
heaven and the thynges in earth shoulde be ioyned together as it were
into _one_ body."--_Udal_, _Ephesians_, c. ii.

"Paul sayth, 1 Tim. ij., 'One God, one Mediatour (that is to say,
aduocate, intercessor, or an _atonemaker_) betwene God and man: the man
Christ Jesus, which gaue himself a raunsom for all men."--Tyndal,
_Workes_, p. 158.

I am unacquainted with the work referred to in the first extract. The
second is from _The Whole Works of W. Tindal, John Frith, and Dr. Barnes_
[edited by Foxe], Lond. 1573. The title of the work which contains the
passage is, _The Obedience of a Christian Man, set forth by William
Tindal_, 1528, Oct. 2.
