Book Description

Excerpt from Commentary on the Seven Penitential Psalms, Vol. 1 Upon this edition (which I have compared with the original), published in 1714 and modernized then to suit the requirements of those days, I have formed this new edition, modernizing it still further, so as to bring it down to our times. In other words I have par'agraphed these sermons, which scarcely had a break in them from beginning to end; disentangled and divided long involved sentences; adopted throughout modern orthography and punctuation; replaced obsolete words with words of common usage; and modified certain rude modes of expression, which, though suitable to a less polished age, would grate offensively on the ears 'of this more refined and sensitive generation.
