(f) The Syriack Tongue mix'd with Hebrew Words became the vulgar Language of the Jews, which was afterwards called the Hebrew Tongue.] The truth of this appears by the Hebrew Words that we find in the New Testament, which are all, as St. Jerome observes, Syriack Words, and what our blessed Saviour says,
That not one Iota of the Law of God shall pass away, &c.makes it evident, that the Jews at that time used the pre∣sent Hebrew Alphabet, and not the ancient, and it is demonstrated from hence, that the▪ of the Jews was a little Letter, which is true of the Sy∣riack [and Hebrew] J••d, and not of the Samaritan, which has three Feet.
