VOL. VIII. Page 207. To the query put by Boswell to Johnson - "Is not the expression in the burial service in the sure and certain hope of a blessed resurrection' toostrong to be used indiscriminately?" the following note ought to have been subjoined: -
Mr. Boswell, quoting from memory, has interpolated the word "blessed." The words of the Liturgy are, "in sure and certain hope of the resur- rection," &c. &c. L'Estrange, in his "Alliance of Divine Offices," p..302., observes, "these words import the faith of the congregation then present in the article of the resurrection. The plural, ' our vile bodies,' excludes the restraint to a singular number." The reformed liturgies have uniformly employed the same cautious language. In one of the prayers used in the burial service, in the first book of Edward VI., the following passage occurs: "We give thee hearty thanks for this, thy servant, whom thou hast delivered, &c. &c. And, as we trust, hast brought his soul into sure consolation of rest." - MARKLAND.
