8. Translate into ENGLISH: Dan. ii. 16-28. 9. Translate into HEBREW with the vowels and accents the following: Blessed is the man that hath not slipped with his mouth, and is not pricked with the multitude of sins. Blessed is he whose conscience hath not condemned him, and who is not fallen from his hope in the Lord. Riches are not comely for a niggard: and what should an envious man do with money? He that gathereth by defrauding his own soul gathereth for others, that shall spend his goods riotously. He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? he shall not take pleasure in his goods, There is none worse than he that envieth himself; and this is a recompense of his wickedness. And if he doeth good he doeth it unwillingly; and at the last he will declare his wickedness. The envious man hath a wicked eye; he turneth away his face, and despiseth men. A covetous man's eye is not satisfied with his portion; and the iniquity of the wicked drieth up his soul. 10. Translate the following into ENGLISH: Theological Examination Papers. October, 1855.

Sed enim Deus actum hominis ignorat, et in cœlo constitutus non potest aut omnes obire aut singulos nosse. Erras o homo et falleris ; unde enim Deus longe est, quum omnia cœlestia terrenaque et quæ extra istam orbis provinciam sunt, Deo cognita, plena sint? ubique non tantum nobis proximus, sed infusus est. In solem adeo rursus intende: cœlo adfixus, sed terris omnibus sparsus est; pariter præsens ubique interest et miscetur omnibus: nusquam enim claritudo violatur. Quanto magis Deus auctor omnium ac speculator omnium, a quo nullum potest esse secretum, tenebris interest, interest cogitationibus nostris, quasi alteris tenebris? Non tantum sub illo agimus, sed et cum illo, prope dixerim, vivimus. xxxiv. Nec ut creditis, ullum damnum sepulturæ timemus, sed veterem et meliorem consuetudinem humandi frequentamus. Vide adeo, quam in solatium nostri resurrectionem futuram omnis natura meditetur? Sol demergit et nascitur; astra labuntur et redeunt; flores occidunt et reviviscunt: post senium arbusta frondescunt; semina non nisi corrupta revirescunt: ita corpus in sæculo, ut arbores in hiberno occultant virorem ariditate mentita. Quid festinas, ut cruda adhuc hieme reviviscat et redeat? expectandum nobis etiam corporis ver est. xxxvii. Et quod corporis humana vitia sentimus et patimur, non est pœna; militia est. Fortitudo enim infirmitatibus roboratur, et calamitas sæpius disciplina virtutis est; vires denique et mentis et corporis sine laboris exercitatione torpescunt: omnes adeo vestri viri fortes, quos in exemplum prædicatis, ærumnis suis inclyti floruerunt. Itaque et nobis Deus necnon potest subvenire nec despicit: quum sit et omnium rector et amator suorum: sed in adversis unumquemque explorat et examinat, ingenium singulorum periculis pensitat, usque ad extremam mortem voluntatem hominis sciscitatur, nihil sibi posse perire securus. Itaque ut aurum ignibus, sic nos discriminibus arguimur. Quis non miles sub oculis imperatoris audacius periculum provocet ? nemo enim præmium percipit ante experimentum. Absque enim notitia Dei quæ potest esse solida felicitas, quum mors sit? Somnio similis, antequam tenetur, elabitur. Explain the following: c. xxxii. delubra et aras non habemus.
