] "Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?"--SCOTT: _Gen._, xviii, 25. "And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."--_Murray's Gram._, p. 330. "It is the gift of him, who is the great author of good, and the Father of mercies."--_Ib._, 287. "This is thy god that brought thee up out of Egypt."--SCOTT, ALGER: _Neh._, ix, 18. "For the lord is our defence; and the holy one of Israel is our king."--See _Psalm_ lxxxix, 18. "By making him the responsible steward of heaven's bounties."--_Anti- Slavery Mag._, i, 29. "Which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day."--SCOTT, FRIENDS: 2 _Tim._, iv, 8. "The cries of them * * * entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth."--SCOTT: _James_, v, 4. "In Horeb, the deity revealed himself to Moses, as the eternal I am, the self-existent one; and, after the first discouraging interview of his messengers with Pharaoh, he renewed his promise to them, by the awful name, jehovah--a name till then unknown, and one which the Jews always held it a fearful profanation to pronounce."--_Author_. "And god spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the lord: and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of god almighty; but by my name jehovah was I not known to them."--See[106] _Exod._, vi, 2.

"Islamism prescribes fasting during the month ramazan."--_Balbi's Geog._, p. 17. [FORMULE.--Not proper, because the word _ramazan_ here begins with a small letter. But, according to Rule 4th, "Proper names, of every description, should always begin with capitals." Therefore, "Ramazan" should begin with a capital R. The word is also misspelled: it should rather be _Ramadan_.] "Near mecca, in arabia, is jebel nor, or the mountain of light, on the top of which the mussulmans erected a mosque, that they might perform their devotions where, according to their belief, mohammed received from the angel gabriel the first chapter of the Koran."--_Author_.
