and convents, wheresoever she has any relations." [33] Sansovino. [34] English, "Malmsey." The reader will find a most amusing account of the negotiations between the English and Venetians, touching the supply of London with this wine, in Mr. Brown's translation of the Giustiniani papers. See Appendix IX. [35] "XV. diebus et octo diebus ante festum Mariarum omni anno."--_Galliciolli._ The same precautions were taken before the feast of the Ascension. [36] Casa Vittura.

The modern doubts of eternal punishment are not so much the consequence of benevolence as of feeble powers of reasoning. Every one admits that God brings finite good out of finite evil. Why not, therefore, infinite good out of infinite evil? [40] Let the reader examine, with special reference to this subject, the general character of the language of Iago. [41] This opposition of art to inspiration is long and gracefully dwelt upon by Plato, in his "Phaedrus," using, in the course of his argument, almost the words of St Paul: [Greek: kallion marturousin oi palaioi manian sophrosynes ten ek Theou tes par anthropon gignomenes]: "It is the testimony of the ancients, that _the madness which is of God is a nobler thing than the wisdom which is of men_;" an
