B. H. C.

_"Its"_ (Vol. vi., p. 509.; Vol. vii., p. 160.).--As the proposer of the

question on this word, so kindly replied to by MR. KEIGHTLEY, may I give

two instances of its use from the Old Version of the Psalms?

"Which in due season bringeth forth _its_ fruit abundantly."--Ps. i. 3.

"Thou didst prepare first a place, and set _its_ roots so fast."--Ps.

lxxx. 10.

The American _Bibliotheca Sacra_ for October 1851, p. 735., says (speaking

of the time when the authorised version of the Scriptures was executed),

"the genitive _its_ was not then in use;" which is disproved by the

quotations already given.
