He [St. Paul] thereby has furnished us with so rich a variety of moral and spiritual precepts, concerning specia matters subordinate to the general laws of piety and virtue: that out of them might well be compiled a body of ethics, or system of precepts de officiis, in truth and in compleatness far excelling those which any philosophy hath been able to devise or deliver.-Barrow, vol. i.

From ethical or theological composures, to take out les sons, that may improve the mind, is a thing much infericer to the being able to do the like out of the book of nature, where most matters, that are not physical, if they seem not to be purposely veiled, are at least but darkly hinted.

Ethicks principally regard the theory of morals Cogan. Ethical Treatise. On the Passions, Introd In a treatise on morals, we expect that the author should particularly enlarge upon the rules, or duties, and motives of practice and by an ethical treatise, we expect a more extensive investigation of whatever relates to the state and nature of man as a moral agent; and a more minute exati nation of the principles themselves, on which moral precepts are enforced.-Id.

To bridle the evagation of the sound, when arrived so far, but withal not to make a confusion thereof, by any disagreeable repercussions, we may take notice of a very curious provision in those little protuberances, called the tragus and antitragus of the outward ear, of a commodious form and texture, and conveniently lodged for this use. Derham. Physico-Theology, b. iv. c. 3. If the law of attraction had not been what it is, (or at least, if the prevailing law had transgressed the limits above assigned,) every evagation would have been fatal; the planet once drawn, as drawn it necessarily must have been, out of its course, would have wandered in endless error. Paley. Natural Theology, c. 22. EVANE SCENT. Lat. Evanescens, pres. EVANE'SCENCE. part. of evanescere, to For wane, to decrease, to fall away or decay.

Waning, decreasing, falling away or decaying; disappearing; from the sensations or perceptions; and thus, insensible or imperceptible. Nor to this evanescent speck of earth Poorly confin'd; the radiant tracks on high Of the sole Being right, who spoke the word, The image of misery was, perhaps, originally suggested to some Poet by the conduct of his Patron, by the daily con templation of splendour, which he never must partake, by fruitless attempts to catch at interdicted happiness, and by the sudden evanescence of his reward, when he thought his labours almost at an end.-Rambler, No. 163. If a life be delayed till interest and envy are at an end, we may hope for impartiality, but must expect little intelligence; for the incidents which give excellence to biography, are of a volatile and evanescent kind, such as soon escape the memory, and are rarely transmitted by tradition.

Description of Britaine, c. 22. 'Tis plain by v. 30 here, and the application therein of these words, Gen. ii. 23, to Christ and the Church, that the Apostles understood several passages in the Old Testament, in reference to Christ and the Gospel, which evangelical or spiritual sense was not understood, till, by the assistance of the Spirit of God, the Apostles so explained and revealed it. Locke. Ephesians, c. 6. (Note 32, w.) It must be somewhat peculiar to the evangelic institution, somewhat that distinguishes the Christian scheme of duty from all others, which gave rise to this decision of the apostle; and that plainly is, the sublimity and rigour of those precepts of mortification and self-denial, by which Christians are obliged to walk. Atterbury, Ser. vol. ii. Pref. p. liii. It appears, that acts of saving grace are evangelically good, and well-pleasing to God. Bp. Barlow. Remains, p. 432. But the vnmasker complains there are too many of them; he thinks the Gospel, the good news of salvation, tedious from the mouth of our Saviour and his apostles; he is of opinion, that before the Epistles were writ, and without believing precisely what he thinks fit to cull out of them, there could be no Christians and if we had nothing but the four Evangelists, we could not be sav'd. Locke. Second Vind. of the Reasonableness of Christianity. Cowper. The Progress of Error. Hart. Christ's Parable of the Sower. The same spirit diffused itself to the apostles, evangelists, and disciples, who maintained, throughout the whole course of their ministry, a certain vigour and vivacity of mind, which no calamity could depress.-Porteus, vol. ii. Ser. 1. The criticks complain that the evangelistaries and lectionaries have often transfused their readings into the other manuscripts.-Porson. To Travis, p. 230. Thus did our heavenly instructor most exactly fulfil the predictions of the prophets, and his own declarations, that he would evangelize to the poor.-Porteus, vol. ii. Ser. 12. After the resurrection of their divine Master, the apostles, being delegated to evangelize, or teach the doctrines of Christ's mission, his death, resurrection, forgiveness of sins, and a future judgment, they were also furnished with similar credentials.-Cogan.

In theology, I put as great a difference between our new lights and ancient truths; as between the sun and an unconnected evanid meteor.-Glanvill. Van. of Dogmat. c. 19. There is indeed taken notice of, a difference betwixt these apparent colours, and those that are wont to be esteemed genuine, as to the duration, which has induced some learned men to call the former rather evanid than fantastical.

Evaporatio; (e, and vaEVA'PORABLE. porare, atum, to emit a steam, to reek.) Vapor, Vossius thinks, is from the Gr. Karos, a steam or smoke, an exhalation. To emit a steam or smoke, an exhalation, a breath; to reek; to dissipate or disperse in steam or smoke; to vanish into air. The same philosopher, [Democritus] whan he was a hundred yeres olde and nyne, prolonged his lyfe certayne dayes with the euaporation of honye, as Arestoxenus writeth. Sir T. Elyot. Castel of Hellh, b. ii. As for rosin and gum, they are mingled with the rest, to incorporate the drugs and spices, and to keepe in the sweet odour thereof, which otherwise would evaporate and soone be lost.-Holland.

In the seven last months of the year 1688, the evaporations amounted to 22 inches 5 lines; but the rain only to 11 inches 6 lines: in 1689, the evaporations 32 inches 10 lines; but the rain 18 inches 1 line: in 1690, the evaporations 30 inches 11 lines; the rain 21 inches of a line. Derham. Physico-Theology, b. i. c. 5. Note (7.) from the church in the Old Jewry to the London Tavern ; To make this bountiful communication, they adjourned where the same Dr. Price, in whom the fumes of his oracular tripod were not entirely evaporated, moved and carried the resolution, or address of congratulation, transmitted by Lord Stanhope to the National Assembly of France. Burke. On the French Revolution. As I shall soon cease to write Adventurers, I could not forbear lately to consider what has been the consequence of my labours; and whether I am to reckon the hours laid out in these compositions as applied to a good and laudable. purpose, or suffered to fume away in useless evaporations. Adventurer, No. 137. Fr. Euchariste; It. Eucaristia; Sp. Eucharistia ; Lat. Eucharistia; Gr. Evχαριστια, from Ευχαριστ-ειν, to give thanks, (εν, bene, and xapis, gratia.) EUCHARIST. EUCHARISTICALL. EUCHARISTIZE, v. } A giving of thanks; especially applied to the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, taken "with a thankful remembrance of his death." He [Gregory VII.] transubstanciated the eucharisticall bread, condemned the mariage of prestes, and comaunded monkes to abstain from flesh.-Bale. English Vot. pt. ii. The eucharistick bread being neither hypostatically united with the Divinity, nor being the medium through which any such supernatural tendency of the Divine Presence appears to us, adoration directed toward it cannot fail of being palpable idolatry.-More. Antidote against Idolatry, c. 2. That in this sacred supper there is a sacrifice (in that sense wherein the Fathers spoke) none of us ever doubted: but that is then either Latreuticall (as Bellarmine distin guishes it not ill) or eucharisticall: that is here (as Chry sostome speakes) a remembrance of a sacrifice, that is, as Augustine interprets it, a memoriall of Christ's passion celebrated in the church. Bp. Hall. No Peace with Rome, s. 19. He, we see, is depressed before advanced, crucified before enthroned, and led through the vale of tears, to the region of eucharist and hallelujahs.—South, vol. vii. Ser. 1. The Ethnick devotion, consisting (as it were totally) in the praise of their Gods, and acknowledgment of their benefits the Jewish more than half in eucharistical oblations, and in solemn commemoration of providential favours. Barrow, vol. i. Ser. 9 For example, Justin Martyr speaks of the elements being eucharistized, or blessed by the prayer of the word that came from him.-Waterland. Works, vol. vii. p. 99. Justin Martyr, more than once, calls the consecrated ele ments by the name of eucharistized food, which looks as he thought that thanksgiving was the consecration. Id. Ib. p. I have certainly given long and great attention to the subject; and am not without hope that I shall afford sen information to those who, for want of leisure, or opporturi or inclination, have hitherto little considered or understood the nature and efficacy of the eucharist. Knox. On the Nature, &c. of the Lord's Supper, Pre "Except ye eat of this bread, and drink of this wine, have no life in you." Words too strong and too alarming be lightly passed over by those who are sincere in their pr fession of Christianity; and yet words of comfort to the who understand them of the eucharistical bread and wine. 12 1 EUCHOLOGY. Gr. Ευχολόγιον, (ευχή, prayer and Aoy-os, speech, discourse,) a little book, i which prayers are contained; a Book of Prayer.
