The towers come in a racemus from the wings of the leaves, ftanding erect, and are of a pale yellowish colour, with a purple empalement. They are fucceeded by flat obloug pods, each containing 2 or 3 kidney feeds. Dr Wright fays, that this tree was introduced into Jamaica from Hon. duras in 1715; and is now too common, as it has over-run large tracts of land, fo that it is very diffcult to root out. It makes a beautiful and ftrong fence agamit cattle. If pruned from the lower branches, it grows to a fizeable tree, and, when cld, the wood is as good as that from Honduras. The trees are cut up into billets or junks, the bark and white fap of which are chipped off, and the red part, or heart, is fent to England for fale.

HEMOPTOE, or a fpitting of blood. HEMOPTYSIS, MEDICINE, Index. HÆMORRHAGIA, } [fróm xipe, blood, and HEMORRHAGY, 5 exfrumu, to burst forth,] in tredicine, a flux of blood at any part of the body; anding either from a rupture of the veffels, when too full or too much preised; or from an erosion of them, when the blood is too harp and corrofive. Hæmorrhagia among the ancient Greeks, was only used for a flux of blood at the nose; but the moderns extend the name to any flux of blood, whether by the nofe, mouth, lungs, ftomach, infelines, matrix, or any other part.

HERES, a goddess to whom the ancient Rotans facrificed upon becoming heir to a fortune. HERETICO COMBURENDO, a writ which anGeatly lay againft an heretic, who, having once been convicted of herefy by his bishop, and having abjared it, afterwards falling into it again, or in to fome other, was thereupon committed to the fecular power. It is thought by fome to be as anpient as the common law itfelf; however, the conction of herefy by the common law was not in any petty ecclefiaftical court, but before the archLhop in a provincial fynod, and the delinquent was delivered up to the king to do with him as he pleafed: fo that the crown had a control over the

spiritual power. But by 2 Hen. IV. cap. 15. the diocefan alone, without the intervention of a fynod, might convict of heretical tenets; and unlefs the convict abjured his opinions, or if after abjuration he relapfed, the theriff was bound ex efficio, if required by the bithop, to commit the unhappy victim to the flames, without waiting for the confent of the crown. This writ was actually executed on two Anabaptifts in the 7th of Elizabeth, and on two Arians in the 9th of James I. Sir Edward Coke was of opinion, that this writ did not lie in his time; but it is now taken away by ftat. 29 Car. I. cap. 9. But this ftatute does not take away or abridge the jurisdiction of Proteftant arch bithops or bishops, or any other judges of any ec. clefiaftical courts, in cafes of atheifa, blafphemy, herefy, or fchitm, and other damnable doctrines and opinions; but they may prove and punish the fame according to his majesty's ecclefiaftical laws, by excommunication, deprivation, degradation, and other ecclefiaftical cenfures not extending to death, in fuch fort and no other, as they might have done before the making of this act.

They dwelt in Arabia Felix, according to Pliny. Strabo joins them with the Nabathæans, and Chavlotæans, whofe habitation was rather in Arabia Deferta. Others think their capital was Petra, or Agra, and if fo, they dwelt in Arabia Petræa. The Reubenites, in the days of Saul, made war with the Hagarites, and became mafters of their country E. of Gilead. This therefore was the true country of the Hagarenes. In the reign of Jeroboam II, 44,760 Ifraelites defeated them, and took 100,000 prifoners, with immenfe booty. (1 Chron. v. 10, 19-11.) When Trajan came into Arabia, he beñeged the capital of the Hagarenes, but could not take it. The Hagarenes valued themfelves upon their wisdom. See Baruch iii. 23. HAGAR'S TOWN.

By command from God (Ezra v. 1, 2, &c.) he exhorted the Jews, after their return from the captivity, to finish the rebuilding of the temple, which they had intermitted for 14 years. To encourage them, he atfured them, that the glory of this latter house fhould be greater than the glory of the former; which was accordingly fulfilled, when Chrift honoured it with his prefence: for with refpect to the building, the latter was nothing in comparison of the former.
