Excerpt from Notes on All the Books of Scripture, for the Use of the Pulpit and Private Families Aving gone over the hiftorical books of the New Te ament, I proceed to the muf er ation of the Epistles, which are a very ufeful part of the Canon of Scripture, tho' certainly of much lefs confe quance than the others. The certain knowledge that Jel'as Chrilt was commillioned by God to preach the great doctrine of a refurree'tmn to a future life, that he confirmed this doetrine by the bell; atte cd miracles, and that, in the farther confirmation and exemplificati on of it, he himfelffubmitted to die, and afiually rol'e from the dead, which we learn from the four gofpels, is all that is eltential to chriltiann) as the knowledge of this is all that is of much importance as a motive to a good life. However, we are much confirmcl in our belief of the hi ory of Chrilt by the farther account of the fir promulgation of the gofpel by the Apolllt s.
