Notes.
(1) {Thien-°tsu} is the term used for God by the Romanists and by
some Protestants. The other terms used for God are {Zung} (神),
Lit. “a Spirit” and {°Zang-ti°} (上帝), Lit. “The Celestial
Ruler.”
(2) In the fourteenth sentence of the Second Exercise for “to no
purpose,” one can say {Bak-bak-li-fi°-theh}, or the {bak} (白)
can be used with the verb. Thus we can say {Bak fi°-theh}
(白廢脫). {Bak} is often need in this way with verbs. Thus
{Bak-tsoo°} (白做), “to do in vain,” {Bak °siang} (白想), “to
think in vain, to no purpose,” etc.
(3) In the eleventh sentence of the First Exercise {Wan°-z} may be
translated “or.”
