Jortin. Remarks on Ecclesiastical History. In a word, this important representation instructs us in these two points of doctrine: first, that the kingdom, whose blessings were produced by the death and passion of Christ, was secured to us even from the foundation of the world: and secondly, that it was actual righteousness, as well as imputative, which made those who had never heard explicitly of Christ, to become partakers of his merits.

I am inclined to believe that in and out come originally from two nouns meaning those parts of the body," (Diversions of Purley, vol. i. p. 457, note.) This presumes that our ancestors had a name for these parts of the body before they had one for any other things, bearing the same relation to each other.
