Mr. Murray says, “Prepositions serve to connect words with one
     another, and show the relation between them.”

     twist, that none can doe with a tough with.”

     “They had arms under the straw in the boats, and had cut the
     withes that held the oars of the town boats, to prevent any
     pursuit.”

     “The only furniture belonging to the houses, appears to be an
     oblong vessel made of bark, by tying up the ends with a withe.”

[10] It is reported on very good authority that the same olive trees
     are now standing in the garden of Gethsemane under which the
     Saviour wept and near which he was betrayed.  This is rendered more
     probable from the fact, that a tax is laid, by the Ottoman Porte,
     on all olive trees planted since Palestine passed into the
     possession of the Turks, and that several trees standing in
     Gethsemane do not pay such tribute, while all others do.

[11] We do not assent to the notions of ancient philosophers and poets,
     who believed the doctrine that the world is animated by a soul,
     like the human body, which is the spirit of Deity himself; but that
     by the operation of wise and perfect laws, he exerts a supervision
     in the creation and preservation of all things animate and
     inanimate.  Virgil stated the opinions of his times, in his AEneid,
     B. VI. l. 724.

“Principio coelum, ac terras, camposque liquentes,
Lucentemque globum, Lunae, Titaniaque astra
Spiritus intus alit, totamque infusa per artus
Mens agitat molem, et magno se corpore miscet.”

“Know, first, that heaven, and earth’s compacted frame,
And flowing waters, and the starry flame,
And both the radiant lights, one common soul
Inspires and feeds—­and animates the whole. 
This active mind, infused thro all the space,
Unites and mingles with the mighty mass.”
