Excerpt from Theology Explained and Defended, in a Series of Sermons, Vol. 1 of 4 There are, however, exceptions to this remark. Sometimes the 00d man, by the uncommon powers of his mind, by peculiar incidents in his life, by having exerted a commanding influence on the interests of the public, or by having acquired an unusual share in their afiections presents the most attractive subject of biogra phy. Contemporaries indulge a strong desire to view more mi untel the life and character Of the man, whose living excellence they have often felt and acknowledged and posterity receive With admiration the history of one who so widely blessed a preceding generation. The author of the following Discourses claims a high rank among men of this class. The testimonies, far and wide, given by the public to his excellence, the heart-felt sorrow so extenswely occasioned by his death, and the honours so profusely poured up on his memory; persuade us that we shall be listened to With lively interest, while we attempt, in the following Memoir, to sketch the most important incidents of his life, and to delineate the most striking traits of his character.

Excerpt from Theology, Vol. 5 of 5: Explained and Defended in a Series of Sermons From these considerations, arises the importance of inculcating much, and often, the preceptive part of the Scriptures, from the Desk. I well know, that preaching of this nature has been Op posed, and censured, by individuals, in several classes Of Chris tians. By flntinomians it may be consistently censured. As these men suppose themselves released from the Law Of God, as a rule Of duty, by the gracious dispensation Of the Gospel; they have considered the preaching of the Law as useless, and even as mischievous. Such sermons as have urged the religious and moral duties Of man, they have styled ff legal sermons, and those who have delivered them, legal preachers. By this language they have intended to insinuate, or Openly to declare, that the de sign Of such preaching was the establishment of the doctrine, that we are justified by works of Law; and the subversion of the Evangelical doctrine, that we are justified by grace, through faith in the Redeemer. That men have urged obedience to the Pre cepts of the Scriptures, with this design, I shall not question, any more than that the same men have pursued the same design by descanting on the doctrines of the Scriptures; and even on those, which are purely Evangelical. But, that inculcating the practical duties, which are required of mankind in the Scriptures, is, in this sense, legal preaching, I wholly deny. If this is its true charac ter, Christ Himself was a legal preacher. This Glorious Person in his own discourses has given these precepts, expatiated upon them, and urged obedience to them upon mankind, in a vast multi tude of forms, to a great extent, and with unrivalled force and beauty. His Sermon on the Mount is an illustrious, and pre-em inent example of this nature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
