Book Description

Excerpt from Lectures on the Prophecies of Isaiah The explanation given of any particular p'affage of fcripture, concerning which I may be mif taken. To judge fairly, and pronounce juf'tly of this performance, the general nature, the uni form tenour, and profeffed defign, mufl be exa mined with candour, and proper allowance made for the inaccuracies and errors that may have efcaped the author, which he will be ready to correct, when they are pointed out to him. Having lectured on the whole Prophecies of Ifaiah, I now publifh, with fome meafure of diffidence and folicitude, this volume, as a fpe cimen of the work, which would require about four volumes more to comprehend what re mains of the expofition. I fondly hope, that this fample, which I now offer to the public infpec tion, will prove, through the divine blefiing, acceptable and ufeful to fome of thofe who are pleafed to perufe it. Should they experience half the pleafure in reading, which I enjoyed in compofing and delivering thefe Leettfres, my labour will not be loft, and their time and ex pence fully compenfated.
