straightforward. Yet he had not much comprehensiveness of intellect, nor a deep insight into the spiritual Ugg Classic Tall Boots nature of revelation.(9.) M. Henry ("Exposition ofthe 0. and N. Test." Lond. 1704 sq., 5 vols, fol., and various eds. since, latest Lond. 1849,' 6 vols. 4to, condensed with Scott's Notes and Doddridge's Practical Observations, besides additions from other sources, in Jenks's Comprehensive Commentary, Brattleboro, Vt. 1836 sq., 5 vols. 8vo).— The name of this good man is venerable, and will Ugg Bailey Button Boots be held in everlasting remembrance. His commentary does not contain much exposition. It is full of sermonising. It is surprising, however, to see how far his good sense and simple piety led him into the doctrine of the Bible, apart from many of the higher qualities belonging to a successful commentator. His prolixity is great. Practical preaching ^ the burden of his voluminous notes.(10.) J. Gill ("Exposition of the O. and N. Test." Lond. 1763,9 vols, fol., and several times since).—The prominent characteristic of Gill's commentary is heaviness. It lacks condensation and brevity. The meaning of the inspired authors is often undeveloped, and more frequently distorted. Gill's chief merit was his Rabbinical learning.(11.) P. Doddridge ("Family Expositor of the N. T.," Lond. 1739, 6 Ugg Ultra Short Boots vols. 4to, and often since; Amherst, Mass. 1837,1 vol. 8vo).—The taste of this pious commentator was good, and his style remarkably pure. He had

not much acumen or comprehension of mind;but he had an excellent judgment, and a calm candor of inquiry. His paraphrase leaves much unexplained, while it dilutes the strength of the original. The Ugg Roxy Tall Boots practical observations are excellent. The notes are few, and ordinarily correct.(12.) T. Scott ("Holy Bible with Aotej," etc. Lond. 1692, and often since; Lond. 1841, 6 vols.4to; Bost. 1827, 6 vols. 8vo).—The prevailing characteristic of Scott's commentary is judiciousness in the opinions advanced. The greater portion of it, however, is cot proper exposition. The pious author preaches about and paraphrases the original. His simplicity of purpose generally preserved him from mistakes; but as a commentator he was neither acute nor learned. He wanted a competent acquaintance with the original, power of analysis, a mind unprepossessed by a Doctrinal system, and penetration of spirit,(13.)"A. C larke (" Holy Bible, with Commentary;' etc. 8 vols. 4to, Lond. 1810-23, and often since; best ed. Lond. 1844, 6 vols. 8vo, N. Y. 1843).—In many of the higher qualities by which an interpreter should le Ugg Bailey Button Boots distinguished, this man of much reading was wantinr. His commentary, however, which was the chief literary labor of his life, is replete with profound and varied, though not always accurate, and often inapposite, learning. He is always thoroughly earnest and practically spiritual. Some of his notions are indeed extravagant, but they are

success. He had considerable exegetical tact, and a large acquaintance with the heathen classics, from Ugg Boots Clearance Which he was accustomed to adduce parallels. His taste was good, and his mode of unfolding the meaning of a passage simple, direct, and brief. His judgment was sound, free from prejudice, and liberal bei yond the age in which he lived. As a commentatorhe was distinguished for his uniformly good sense. It has been said without reason that he found Christ nowhere in the Old Testament. It is true that he opposed the Cocceian method, but in this he was often correct. His chief defect is in Ugg Bailey Button Triplet tpiritual ditcernment. Hence he rests in the literal meaning in many cases, where there is a higher or ulterior reference.(6.) J. Le Clerc ("V. T. c. Paraphrasi, Commentary)," etc. 4 vols. fol. Amst. 1710 sq.).—Excellent notes are interspersed throughout the commentaries of this author (his work by a similar title on the N. T. was based upon that of Hammond, 2 vols, in 1, fol. Amst. 1699). His judgment was good, and his mode of interpretation perspicuous. From his richly-stored mind he could easily draw illustrations of the Bible both pertinent and just. Yet he was very defective in theological Ugg Delaine Boots discrimination. Hence, in the prophetic and doctrinal books he is unsatisfactory. It has been thought, not without truth, that he had a rationalistic tendency. It is certain that he exalted his own judgment too highly, and pronounced dogmatically where

he ought to have manifested a modest diffidence.(7.) A. Calmet ("Commentaire Littered" on the entire Bible and Apocr. Par. 1724, 8 vols, in 9, fol. j transl. into Latin, with the dissertations by J. D. Manse, 19 Ugg Classic Cardy Boots vols. 4to, Wirceb. 1789).—Calmet is perhaps the most distinguished commentator on the Bible belonging to the Roman Catholic Church. In the higher qualities of commentary his voluminous work is very deficient. It contains a good collection of historical materials, and presents the meaning of the original where it is already plain; but his historical apparatus needs to be purified of its irrelevant, erroneous statements, while on the difficult portions no new light is thrown.(8.) Patrick, Lowth, Arnald, and Whitby (" Critical Commentary," etc. on the O. and N. T. and Apocr. 6 vols. 4to, Lond. 1822; 4 vols. 8vo, Phila. and N. Y. 1846).—Bishop Patrick had many of the elements belonging to a good commentator. His learning was great when we consider the time at which he lived, his method brief and perspicuous. Lowth is inferior to Patrick. Whitby presents a remarkablo compound of excellences Ugg Roxy Short Boots and imperfections. In philosophy he was a master. In Critical elucidations of the text he was at home. Nor was be wanting in acuteness or philosophical ability. His judgment was singularly clear, and his manner of annotating
