[213] Thus Dr. Oliver, while treating of the relation of the temple to
the
lodge, thus briefly alludes to this important symbol: "As our ancient
brethren erected a material temple, without the use of axe, hammer, or
metal tool, so is our moral temple constructed."--_Historical
Landmarks_,

[222] Sepher Toldoth Jeshu, p. 6. The abominably scurrilous character
of
this work aroused the indignation of the Christians, who, in the
fifteenth
century, were not distinguished for a spirit of tolerance, and the
Jews,
becoming alarmed, made every effort to suppress it. But, in 1681, it
was
republished by Wagenselius in his "Tela Ignea Satanae," with a Latin
translation.
