Pentateuch to express the name Jehovah by the angel of God . * As to the clause " the Lord whom ye seek , shall suddenly come to his temple , " it describes the office , and not the nature of
the Messiah : being , under God ,-fthe head of the Christian church , he is styled the Lord of it ;— to us there is one Lord , Jesus Christ , " — he is Lord of all , " of believ - ing Jews and Gentiles . The temple was his , because in that sacred edifice he was to communicate
some of his instructions , to per . form some of his miracles , and to exercise one of his most memorable acts of authority and power , For much the same reason , the Jewish nation are called , in John i . 11 , his own people : —" became
unto his own , and Us own received him not . " Now they were the people , undoubtedly , of God : such they are often termed , and therefore , according to Bishop Horsley ' s ratiocination , Jesus must be God !
We learn from this preacher ( 37 ) 9 assuredl } ' not from the evangelists , that Christ , going up to Jerusalem to celebrate the passover , " found in the temple a market of live cattle , and bankers " shops , where strangers who came at this season from distant
countries to Jerusalem were accommodated with cash for their bills of credit . Lightfoot has given a different and juster account of

favoured in our Saviours days with , this last and best supply . " The next discourse ( the 34 th ) y printed originally as a single sermon , is on the Incarnation of
Christ * from Luke i . 28 . It pro . Christy from Luke i . 28 . It professes to represent the importance of our Lord ' s miraculous birth as a tenet of Christian faith , and
assumes , rather than proves , the fact . The pomp , loftiness and arrogance of the preacher ' s Ianguage , ill conceal the extreme feebleness of his reasoning *
In the Sermon which follows ( the 35 th ) , from Deut . xv . 11 , and which was before published , he undertakes to shew , *« first , that poverty is a real evil , which , without any impeachment of the goodness or wisdom of Providence , the constitution of the world
actually admits ; secondly , that the providential appointment of this evii > in subservience to the general good , brings a particular obligation upon men in civilized society to concur for the immediate
extinction of the evil wherever it appears . ' * These propositions are illustrated with some novelty , and for the most part strength of argument ; and a pertinent application is then made of them to the occasion * of the discourse .
Mr . Horsley , the editor of this volume , ingenuously avows in the advertisement prefixed to it , that in liia desire to withhold nothing of his revered father ' s from the public that could be given to them , he * ' may have suffered one
