[199:3] The Cobra, or hooded snake, is a native of the _East Indies_,
where it is held as sacred. (See Knight: Anct. Art and Mytho., p. 16,
and Fergusson's Tree and Serpent Worship.)
[199:4] _Linga_ denotes, in the sectarian worship of the _Hindoos_, the
_Phallus_, an emblem of the male or generative power of nature.
[199:5] _Iona_, or _Yoni_, is the counterpart of Linga, _i. e._, an
emblem of the female generative power. We have seen that these were
attached to the effigies of the _Hindoo_ crucified Saviour, Crishna.

[202:6] The paschal lamb was roasted on a _cross_, by ancient Israel,
and is still so done by the Samaritans at Nablous. (See Lundy's
Monumental Christianity, pp. 19 and 247.)
"The _lamb_ slain (at the feast of the passover) was roasted whole, with
two spits thrust through it--one lengthwise, and one
transversely--crossing each other near the fore legs; so that the animal
was, in a manner, _crucified_. Not a bone of it might be broken--a
circumstance strongly representing the sufferings of our Lord Jesus,
_the passover slain for us_." (Barnes's Notes, vol. i. p. 292.)
