U. in its full form, and also in centos, as 1. Every human tie may perish. Thle ceuta, be ginning with st. 1., is given'tî a few American collec tion.
8. On the Book of Ages founded. In the 1874 Supplement to the News Cong., No. 1215, le at. i., MI. V. rewritten.
3. Sion stands with hills surrounded. This slightly altered text is in a few American hymn-books.
Taking the original text and these centos together, it is found that the use of this hymn is somewhat extensive. It is based on Pa. cxxv., 2, and is a vigorous bymn on the Becurity of the Church of Christ. [J. J.]
- s3 ## Ζοφεράς τρικυμίας. St. Anatolius [Christ Stilling the Tempeat.] The Very Rev. 8. G. Hatherly, in his ed. of Dr. Neale's Hys. noted under Wegelian, J. (q. v.), of the Eastern Church, 1882 (4th ed.) saya —
"These Etchers are not in use In the Church Bervice. They are probably taken by Dr. Neale from the work of some German antiquarian. Sondays of the First Tone are the let after Easter, and the 2nd, 10th, 18th and every eighth following Sunday after Pentecost until the Sunday next before Easter."
It is more probable, however, that Dr. Neale got his text from the "dateless Constantino politan book" from whence he said he got his "Art thou weary" (see p. 68, ii) then that he secured it from the work of some German antiquarian." Dr. Neale'a fr., "Fierce was the wild billow," was pub. in his Hys. of the Eastern Church, 1862, in 8 st. of 8 L, and headed "Stichers for a Sunday of the First Tone." It was included in the Parish H. Bk., 1868; and subsequently in numerous collections in G. Britain and America. In some hymnals it reads, "Fierce the wild billow was," and in others "Fierce was the Galilee;" but Neale's text is that which is most extenBively known. [J. J.]
- s4 ## Zwick, Johann, . of Conrad Zwick, Rathsherr at Constanz, was b. at Constanz, circa 1496. He studied law at the Universities of Basel, Freiburg, Paris, and Padua (where he graduated LL.D.), nnd was for some time a tutor in law at Freiburg and at Basel. In 1518 he entered the priesthood, and in 1522 was appointed parish priest of Riedlingen on the Upper Danube. Being accused of Lutheran tendencies, he was forbidden in 1523 to officiate, and in 1525 bis living was formally taken from him. He returned to Constanz, and was appointed by the Council in 1527 as one of the town preachers. Here he laboured unweariedly, caring specially for the children, the poor, and the refugees, till 1542. In Aug. 1542, the people of Bischofszell, in Thurgau, having lost their pastor by the pestilence, besought Constanz to send them a preacher; and Zwick, proceeding there, preached and visited the Bick till he himself fell a victim to the pestilence, and d. there Oct. 23, 1542 (Koch, il., 76; Herzog's Real-Encyklopädie, xvii. 578, &c.).
Zwick was one of the leaders of the Swiss Reformetion. He ranke next to Blaurer as the most important of the early byman-writers of the Reformed Church. His bys are collected In Wackernagel, H., Nos. 672696. The best appeared in the New grangbackle con vil schönen Psalmen und geistlichen liedern, pub. at Zurich, 1636 (2nd ed. 154 is the earllest now extant), of which he was the chief editor, ond which was the firm hymn-book of the Reformed Church.
The only bymD by Zwick which has passed into English is —–—–
Auf diese Tugas denken wir. Ascension. This probably appeared in the Nu gangbichle, Ztrieb, 1630; and le certainly in the 2nd ed. of 1640, from which it is quoted in Wackernagel, H. p. 68, in st. of TL, with ^ Alleluia.". It la also in (3) the Strasburg Psalmen und geystliche Lieder, 1587, f. 990, and in (3) 8. Salminger's (J. Aberlin's?) Der pants Psalter, &c. (Zürich), 1637, f. 145 [Brit. Nur.]. In each case it la entitled "Another hymn on the Ascension of Christ," while in 1540 the first line is given as "Uff disen tag dencken wir, and in 1587 (3) as "Auff disen tag so denckend wir," In 1631 (3) "Uf disen tag so dencke wir." It is the finest of Zwick's bymns, and its spirit of joyful faith, its conciseness, and its beauty of form, have kept it in nee among the Lutheran as well as among the Reformed. It is No. 159 in the Inv. L. S., 1861. The fra. are: 1. Raise your devotion, mortal tongues. This tu

- s5 ## Zyma vetus expurgetur. Adam of St. Victor. (Easter.] Gantier, in his ed of Adam's Oeuvres poetiques, 1881, p. 42, gives this from a Gradual of St. Victor before 1239 (Bibl. Nat. Paris, No. 14452), a Paris Gradual of the 15th cent. (B. N. No. 15616), and a Missal of St. Genevieve, c. 1239. It is also found in an early 14th cent. Faris Missal in the British Museum (Add. 16905, f. 146 b); in a Surum Missal, c. 1370, and a York Missal, c. 1390, both in the Bodleian; in a St. Gall Ms. No. 383, of the 19th or 14th cent., &c. The printed text is given with full notes in Trench, ed. 1864, p. 165; also Iu Dantel ii., 69; Kehrein, No. 91; D. 8. Wrangham's The Liturgical Poetry of Adam of St. Victor, 1881, i. p. 80, and others. Of this grand sequence Cilahtovaeus says with accuracy:
"The wonderful mysteries of the Resurrection of our Lord are here set forth, a foreshadowed in the Old God explained more clearly to us in the New. And of a Testament by many types, and through the goodness of truth this prose is almost divine, embracing tabich in few words, and all distinctly taken from the Sacred Scriptures."
In this eulogy Abp. Trench agrees. The ex-
