Présentation de l'éditeur
The Ufefulnefs of the hiftorical Part of the Old Teftament. Romans xv. 4. Whatfoever things were written aforetime, were written for our learning, that we thro patience and comfort of the fcriptures might have hope HAVING proceeded thus far in the work of expounding to you the hiftorical part of the Old Teftament, I think it may be peculiarly feafonable and heceftary, to lay before you a few thoughts on the Ufefulnefs of that hiftory. To introduce what I have to fay upon this fubject, I have chofen an important and ufeful remark of St. Paul. Having exhorted the chriftians to whom he wrote, to bear with one anothers infirmities, to confult each others edification, and always to facrifice their own inclination and humour, and oftentimes their own fecular intereft, to the good of others-, he enforces the exhortation, by obferving, that even Chrifi pleafed not himfelf but fubmitted to many inftances of great felf denial for the good of mankind :and this he illuftrates by a quotation from Pfalm lxix. 9. where it is faid, The reproaches of them that reproached thee, are fallen upon me. That is, c Ihave fo great a zeal for thine honour, that I have been much affected and difturbed with the reproaches that have been caft upon thee, and the difhonours that have been offered to thy name, worihip, and laws. It might be objected to this quotation, that it referred immediately to David, and was his language.
