Page 26 - A collection of Cases and other Discourses lately written to recover Dissenters to the Communion of the Church of England,
Page 23 - Barrow h, who with his extensive knowledge, and rare copia of words, (in the choice of which, it must be confessed, he is not always exact,) seems to have purposely collected whatsoever could be possibly said upon any subject. No man that reads Dr. Barrow upon any subject which he has handled, needs rack his invention for topics upon which to speak, or for arguments to make these topics good.
Page 7 - Misna' in Latin and Hebrew ; the two commentators are only in Latin. It is a noble and authentic collection of what- the Jews have built upon Moses's law in every particular. If our student cares not to go through that voluminous work, Reland's Hebrew Antiquities", and Dr.
Page 35 - ... that, and the benefit which will thence arise towards the understanding the Mosaic law, will abundantly compensate the pains; and I speak from experience, that all the Christian commentators put together (at least those that I have used) will not give a tenth part of the light to the understanding the law of Moses, that may be had by the help of the Jewish traditions.
Page 22 - G ataker's ln and Sanderson's ". In Gataker's sermons (suitably to the very great learning of the man) there is a wonderful variety of useful matter, but his manner is not now to be imitated. What Bp. Sanderson has writ is all gold, and thoroughly refined. His judgment is exquisite, and not a word is to be lost; but he is rather to be digested than copied. The preachers since Tillotson are obvious ; so I shall name none but Dr.
Page 7 - If he has a mind thoroughly to understand those traditions of the Scribes and Pharisees, for which they are so severely rebuked by our blessed Saviour in, the Evangelists, he will find a complete system of them in Surenhusius's edition of the Misna, with the Commentaries of Maimonides and Bartenora. The Misna is the text of what the Jews call the Talmud, ie the traditional or oral doctrine, which (as they pretend) God gave to Moses upon Mount Sinai, which, though it was...
Page 42 - Dorf, is there fully and impartially laid down, and summed up with equal judgment and accuracy. Dr. Hammond's Practical Catechism ' is an excellent explanation of the duties of our religion. How far natural religion will carry us, is admirably well explained by Bp. Wilkinsf. The duties of the Christian life, and the grounds upon which obedience to those duties stand, are fully set forth by Dr. Scott
Page 8 - Antiquities, which are very short, should be got almost by heart, by those that will sit down with a general knowledge in these matters, and yet would not be wholly ignorant of them. If one would know the customs of that nation at this day, which are very well worth knowing, F. Simon's translation of Leo Modena's tract of the rites and ceremonies of the Jews'", Fleury of the manners of the Jews", (which is an admirable little book,) and Buxtorf s Synagoga Judaica", will give him ample satisfaction.
Page 34 - Misna, and so of the rest. The Misna and its commentators will appear very dry, and perhaps ridiculous at first, to men wholly unacquainted with that learning, but use will soon conquer that, and the benefit which will thence arise towards the understanding the Mosaic law, will abundantly compensate the pains ; and I speak from experience, that all the Christian commentators put together (at least those that I have used) will not give a tenth part of the light to the understanding...
