Moreover, it is most appropriate to the matter in hand. “Præsenti causæ.”—The French is, “du temps que la loi devoit estre publiée;” to the time when the Law was to be published. Exod. 3:6 ; Amos 1:2 ; Hab. 2:20 ; Psalm 80:2 ; 99:1; Isaiah 37:16 . “E faucibus mortis.”—French, “du gouffre d’enfer;” from the gulf of hell.
