- Or, "the bands of the rudders;" for large vessels in ancient

- by means of bands, or chains, by which they were hoisted out
- of the water when incapable of being used. These bands being
- loosed, the rudders would fall into their proper places, and
- serve to steer the vessel into the creek, which they had in

- Melita, now Malta, the island on which Paul and his companions
- were cast, is situate in the Mediterranean sea, about fifty
- miles from the coast of Sicily, towards Africa; and is one
- immense rock of soft white free-stone, twenty miles long,
- twelve in its greatest breadth, and sixty in circumference.
- Some, however, with the learned Jacob Bryant, are of opinion
- that this island was Melita in the Adriatic gulf, near
- Illyricum; but it may be sufficient to observe, that the
- course of the Alexandrian ship, first to Syracuse and then to
- Rhegium, proves that it was the present Malta, as the proper
- course from the Illyrian Melita would have been first to
- Rhegium, before it reached Syracuse, to which indeed it need
- not have gone at all.

- CONCLUDING REMARKS ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES.
-
- The Acts of the Apostles is a most valuable portion of Divine
- revelation; and, independently of its universal reception in the
- Christian church, as an authentic and inspired production, it
- bears the most satisfactory internal evidence of its
- authenticity and truth. St. Luke's long attendance upon St.
- Paul, and his having been an eyewitness of many of the facts
- which he has recorded, independently of his Divine inspiration,
- render him a most suitable and credible historian; and his
- medical knowledge, for he is allowed to have been a physician,
- enabled him both to form a proper judgment of the miraculous
- cures which were performed by St. Paul, and to give an authentic
- and circumstantial detail of them. The plainness and simplicity
- of the narrative are also strong circumstances in its favour.
- The history of the Acts is one of the most important parts of
- the Sacred History, for without it neither the Gospels nor
- Epistles could have been so clearly understood; but by the aid
- of it the whole scheme of the Christian revelation is set before
- us in a clear and easy view.
