(a) Augustini Opera, Benedictin. 11 vols. fol. Paris, 1679 to 1700.-"Best edition. There are, however, two editions of this work under the same date.

In the first edition, there are only five lines of the Preface on the first page; in the second edition, there are more." Dr. A. Clarke.

(b) See our author's Treatise" Christ the Sum and Substance of the Scriptures."

CHAPTER IV.

(a) "It is not enough for the physician to inveigh against the malignity or danger of a disease, but his chief care must be to direct to the remedy and cure of it; and for this, the prescription must be varied according to the several kinds of offences. It should be a special care, to apply lenitives and cordials, where the condition of the patient requires it, as well as corrosives and purgatives.

"The matter of this should be various, according to the different states of men, whether their sufferings be OUTWARD or INWARD. OUTWARD, in respect of sickness of body, loss of friends, estate, credit, peace, and quiet, &c.-INWARD, in respect of doubts, &c." Bishop Wilkins.

APPENDIX.

CHAPTER I.

(a) Of Franzius' Work here alluded to, the celebrated Glassius speaks in the following high terms, when treating of the best method of interpreting the Scriptures. "Ego sane nullum tempus felicius et fructuosius (præsens quod negotum spectat,) collocâsse me palam profiteor, quam quod in diligenti integri libri illius lectione et relectione, cum timore Domini, insumi. Deus viro tanto, pro tàm salubri labore, hic et ætertum benedicat."

(b) Bernardi Opera, a Joan. Mabillonio, Mon. S. Mauri, fol. 1690, 2 vols. "Best edition."

ANALYSIS OF THE EPISTLE TO THE

EPHESIANS.

(a) "Paul has given us the substance of divine truth in a threefold way :-

1. In a catechetical manner: that is, by the mere articles, without copious proofs and refutations; as in the Epistle to the Ephesians. 2. By a fuller exposition, with arguments, refutations, &c. added by way of explanation; as in the Epistle to the Galatians. 3. By a complete consideration and exposition of the several parts of doctrine, as in the Epistle to the Romans. These points merit attention, because, even subsequently to the days of the apostle, sometimes the shorter, and sometimes the more elaborate Epistles have been cited, accordingly as seasons and circumstances have required." Chemnitius. Author's Note.

ANALYTICAL INTRODUCTION TO THE

COLOSSIANS.

(a) "It is probable that the apostle only dictated this Epistle. So we find that Tertius wrote the Epistle addressed to the Romans, Rom. xvi. 22. It appears that Paul himself only added the last words." Author's Note.

(b) "It was perhaps at this time that Onesimus carried Paul's letter to his master Philemon; Phil. 12-15, and Col. iv. 9; unless it be supposed that he was despatched to Philemon first, and afterwards to the Colossian church." Ibid.
