NOTE f.

_When lo! a sudden blast the vessel blew_.

In a lake surrounded with mountains, the agitations are often violent
and momentary. The winds blow in gusts and eddies; and the water no
sooner swells, than it subsides.
See BOURN'S Hist, of Westmorland.

NOTE g.

_To what pure beings, in a nobler sphere_,

The several degrees of angels may probably have larger views, and
some of them he endowed with capacities able to retain together, and
constantly set before them, as in one picture, all their past
knowledge at once.
