PREFACE.

It will be readily admitted by the intell gent Christian, that some passages of Scripture require explanation, and that in some instances the common translation needs to be corrected, for the improvement of those who are unacquainted with the language in which they were originally written, and who have not leisure to consult the larger works in the hands of the theological student. The Editor of this volume has it in view to furnish remarks, which may explain difficult texts and terms. in a small compass.

He pretends not to offer any thing new to the biblical critic; nor does he expect to give satisfaction concerning all the obscure phrases and expressions, which occur in the sacred writers. He can only say, that he has read the original, and consulted learned commentators with some attention; and proposes merely to exhibit, in a less voluminous form, whatever is material as to the meaning of the writers of the evangelical narrative.
