    support . Griesbach properly intimates ^ that we may read the clause in question with either what precedes or what follows * For my own part , I am inclined to connect it with our Lord ' s assurance , rather than with the

    description of the persons to whom that assurance is addressed . My attention has been called to the passage by a curious and valuable communication occurring in a note to one of Mr . Wellbeloved ' s recently published "Three Additional Letters" to Wrangham ( pp . 20 , 21 ) . I transcribe below the whole of the

    note , the reasoning of which is not less pertinent , spirited and able than the iact which forms the subject of it is extraordinary . N ,
