P. 609. The author's elucidation of the figure, anthropopathy , is an enlargement of Clement's casual remarks in the Stromata (cap. xvi. vol. ii. p. 363, this series). Consult On the Figurative Language of Holy Scripture , Jones of Nayland, Works , vol. iv. ed. 1801.

P. 630, note 5. Compare Waterland, vol. ii. p. 210, ed. 1823; also Life of Bishop Bull , by Robert Nelson, p. 260. For the extraordinary history of Bull's work in France, see the said Life , pp. 327-333. For Petavius, Waterland, vol. ii. p. 277, and Bull's Life , p. 243. Petavius seems to have had a crafty design to sustain the Council of Trent by arguing that the Council of Nicaea also made new dogmas. Bull proves that it only bore witness to the old . To the honour of the assembled bishops of the Gallican Church, they sustained Bull against the Jesuit.
