Présentation de l'éditeur
In publishing this work, I am acttiated by the threefold consideration of the real importance of the subject, of its being accessible to every class of readers, and of the very luminous aspect it presents when closely studied. It is only obscure at a distance; and if to some persons it seems beset with difficulty and uncertainty, it is only owing to their imperfect knowledge, or bad method of studying it. I was not aware that it was so intelligible till I had examined it with great attention. For tliis reason I thought it my duty, in consequence of the very numerous and severe attacks made on the certainty of the canon, to treat it at large for the use of our theological students ;and since that I have felt it desirable to introduce it to the knowledge of our churches. With this view I have endeavoured to write a book that will be sufficiently intelligible to every serious reader; and it has been my desire, that all xmlettered Christians who may have been disturbed by these attacks of modem infidelity, may feel theni-selves, on reading it, confirmed in their faith. It is impossible to treat such a subject usefully, at least from an historical point of view, without adducing numerous testimonies from the fathers, with quotations from their writings, both Greek and Latin. But I have made it a rule always to translate those passages, and never to appeal to any of the ancient doctors.
