_, - ' - I-‘OR Tut; Gazsirrn.
fvfc-s‘srs .Edz'tors.—The various remarks rcspec-.‘
ting the Seahierpent, have for some months sub-
sided ;' but the-silence on that subject has proba-
bly originated in consequence of his absence from
our coast during the season of winter. That such
an animal has existed in our waters, few persons,
I presume", under the exercise of rational facul-
ties, scarcely admit a doubt. If we can admit the
testimony of two or three witnesses, to substan-
tiate a- fac__t;with‘ regard to ordinary subjects, why
are we not bound’ to admit the testimony of a
clotul of witnesses, whose characters are (unex-
ceptionuble, as respects their veracity, when they
so tn-at-Iy.agt‘ce in testimony with regard to a cer-
tain uuimaljthey have seen , especially when we
can assign no other cause for our (lisbelie.-f, than
that we ltaviewnot seen him ourselves.’ How few

ipéopledoulatiitlte existence of the ‘Iv/tile bear of

l.aplan'd, ‘or tl1’e'lzc/2_/lo/zozanzus (river horse of E-
gypt.) and yet rhow lew persons in this country
have seen either?

-. Historians inform us of land serpents superior
in It-ngthlo anyaccounts I have seen of the sea-
-s~:rpent. 2 Pliny mentions one that attackedithe
‘Roman army. under Regulus, which, when slain,
measured I20’ feet in length. In Lucan’s Pizar-
salia, we find accounts of immense land serpents,
with whichthe Roman army contended, and which
proved the destruction of many soldiers. Sailors,
brought us accounts many years since, of discov-
ering serpents in‘thc South seas, whose length
appeared immense. Dr. Johnson (I think it is)
»tlel_ine's'the exercise of right reason to be the fol-
lowing: ‘ Not to believe, without sufficient evi-
deuce, and to believe, upon sufficient evidence.’
I imagine we have had sufficient evidence of thg

» existence of the serpent alluded to; it is, there-

fore, according tothe definition, the exercise of
right reason to believe it.

 ~'i\"I-2 design in the following remarks is, to at-
tempt to prove that this species of Serpen s is
the Lclfial/Ian of the scriptures. The most par-
ticular description of the Leviathan is contained
in the 'X:LI. Chap. of Job. That the writer could
'_Iia\*e had no allusion tothe W/mic, as is common-
If; supposed, is e_vident from the examination of
a few verses. ‘ Shall thy companions make a
banquet of him? .s-lza/l they /2a'rz /zim among the
nierc/mvzts .?’ Plainly implying that he never could
be parted among the merchants. Perhaps there
 no animal that exists, which is more particular-

? divided among merchants. Again, verse 7th,

‘-"anst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or

his head with fish spears? His scales are so near

‘one to another, that no air can come between

them. They are joined one to another, they

-cl_s,so_toEetl1er_1liat they cannot be sundered.

’ ‘t-I iron as straw, andbrass as rotton

wood.’ That_‘no part of the above is applicable

to the whale, need no comment; it. must be self-

evident to every observer.

Theobjections against the Crocodile, are still
more weighty, if possible, than against the whale,
though I ‘am sensible "that most ofthc learned
; of modern days, and especially commentators on
' the scriptures. attempt to establish the idea that
the crocodile is the only animal that can be interi-
ded. But let us compare his character with the
first verse ofthe chapter mentioned above. ‘Cant’,
t/‘mu draw our the Levin!/2a7z <w1'tl1 an /took .9 or his
tongue with a cord that thou leltest down ?’ That
thecrocodiles can be t:=.‘»:en with a book, has, we
lave reason to believe, always been known. Her-
oclolur, ‘ the father of history,’ who lived nearly
500 years before (Jhrist, mentions (Lib. It. cap.
70) the manner of takingone with a hook. He
says ‘ they threw a piece of hog’s flesh on a large
hook into th.e.Nile. The fishermen drew it on

{have myselfraised one from the ground, and held
l him up with a rope tied to a piece of fresh meat,
land hung in his mouth, though he at the same
time, had another round his neck and fastened to
u post. I mention this to ‘show that it is as easy
totake a crocodile with a book as any fish what-
'ever. Other texts in the same chapter and else-
where might be adduced, which are equally cou-
clusive. It may suffice to mention one alluding
to the rapidity with which the Leviathan is rep-
resented to move. ‘ He maketh the deep to boil
like a pot» He-maketh the sea like a pot of oint-
ment. He maketh the deep to ‘shi'n‘e~ after him,’
"Ste. Every one who has the least ‘knowledge of
a_~’croco'dile, knows that allhis motions are ex-
-tremely slow and clumsy. It is evident, there-

now remains to be proved that the Leviiat/zan is a
Sc~;/: Int ; and then to compare his character with
that if the sea serpent alluded to. ’ ‘

that cfcaribrzngs torment,’ which (could not be in
Paradi‘se.) They further state,“ that it could not
have been aserpent, because the serpent_never
eats dust.’ Let us refer’ to scripture on this sph-
ject, Micah vii. 17. ‘ They shall lick the dust like

' a serpent.’

ing in the New Testament. ‘ And Moses cast:

his rod on the ground, and it became (uaclzas/1}
a serpent. He then put forth his hand and caught‘
itby the tail, and it became a rod.’ How puerile
the idea, that this was an a‘/zcv; and equally ludi-
crous would such a translation be, in any other
passage in which it occurs. though no less than
thirty times is the word rzacimslz rendered serpent
in the Old Testament, and ojzlzis lburteen times
in the New. This must have the same meaning
with mzclzas/2, because quoted by inspiration. viz-
II Cor. xi. 3. ‘ .43 0/2/2229) clzc srryzefit begaéleri
E-ue through his szzbtilti/'_.’ '

It is matter of astonishment that a manofDr.
Clark’s research, should have entertained an idea
so ludicrous, and one which perfectly refutes it-
self. Let us have recourse to his rendering‘ in
the vet se mentioned above. ‘ In that day the
Lord with his sore and great and A-'tro72g‘.s~word-.
shall punish the Levia‘than that extended ‘ ape,’
even the Leviat/mn thatfolding “afze !’ _

As I imagine it fully established that the 7:a‘c.'z-
ash is a Se?‘/Z871! ;. it must be equally evident re-'
specting the Leviathau,,because the verse says
expressly that the Leviathan is the (nae/lash
gna/clat/2072) the winding serpent. I think, also,
it is evident that the latter clause of the verse re-
fers to the same thing continued ; ‘ the Lord shall
punish theiLeviathan and slay the Dragon in the
sea. This is merely the manner in which the
Lord will fzunish the Leviathan liyslaying him ; ,
though a different ‘word is used for the same rep-
tile.- A similar passage is contained in P5. lxxiv.
13, 14, ‘ Thou (Lord) breakest the head of the
dragon in the 'wa'tcrs_; thou brcakestthe heads of

used in scripture as synonymous terms. In proof
of this, we need only refer to the xii. of Revela-
tion: ‘And when the dragon saw that he was
cast unto the earth—-VVhere she is nouriseil for at
time from the face of theser/zent. And the ser-
/lent cast out of his mouth water as a lloodlafter
the woman; And the earth swallowed up the
Hood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.’
(The original is the same drakonc and ojzlzis.)

The verse then in Isa. 27th, before mentioned,
will now read, Leviathan that extended serpent,
even Leviathan that folding serpent that is in the
sea, (alias, the sea 8er[zc"nt,) will the Lord punish
by slaying‘ him, with a great and strong sword.

VVe are next to examine in what respects the
sea serpent on our coast, cot‘r_esponds with the
scripture account of the Leviathan. V _

He is represented by those who have had the
best opportunity of seeing him, as being covered
with large scales.

Job. xli. 15, "says of the Leviathan, ‘ his scales
are his fzrfde sltzzt u/z together he -with iz close seal.’

They generally agree that his scales were im-
penetrable, and that theyfrcquently shot musket
balls at him, but without any kind of effect upon
the-serpent. ‘

Verse 28, Tile arrarzv cannot make bimfice, sling
stones are turned with him into stubble, darts are

a .9/tear. .

The serpent has always been represented as
striking those n he have seen him with peculiar
fear and astonishment, when at a distance from
their vessels and boats, and more especially when
passing under them. _

Verse 9, ‘ Slzall not one be cast dovivn e-v.-‘n,at t/la
sig/2; of lzim. Lay t/zine /rand upon (Jim, remember
the battle, do no more ;’ or as it should be render-
ed, 7'2;-oer t/12.72/1‘ Qf the battle. ‘

It was mentioned in many of our last summer
accounts of him, that be frequently raised himself

cially, a most frightful appearance.

Verse 25, WV/zen /Ie raiaetll .ufz himself‘, the
,-pziggzzy are afraid. V He be/zaldetlt all /rig/z things.

He was always represented as being extremely
rapid in all his movements ; some believed he
travelled a mile in a minute-

Verse 3 I, He make:/1 the deal: to boz'l,lz'lcea fzat,
lie maker}: a sea like (£120: of ointment ; lze maketlz

lated to go to the bottom of the sea as the sea ser-
pent ? i , ~

here, there is almost a perfect corr‘es‘poh”dence of
.character_. and as far as is possible at present to
compare them,\'vc can (liscover nothing dissimilar.
I would once more refer to the opinions ofthe
ancients, and quote a beatzzil'ul description of two
sea seppents contained in book ‘of the
llineid beginning at the Qoptlugggp. '.

This story is familiar to’ all classical readers.
How much of truth is contained in these lines,
or how much to be ascribed to theimagination of
the poet, I shall not pretend to, decide. At all
events, he had some very correct ideas with re-
spect to the sea serpents; and his description,
though more beautiful than any of modern clays,
appears to correspond to the same monster of the
deep. Having thrown together. the above re-
marks, I submit to the candid public to decide,
whether the Sea Serpent is not the Leviathan of
the scriptures. . . AMtcUs. ,
