Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theology Explained and Defended, in a Series of Sermons, Vol. 1 of 4 There are, however, exceptions to this remark. Sometimes the 00d man, by the uncommon powers of his mind, by peculiar incidents in his life, by having exerted a commanding influence on the interests of the public, or by having acquired an unusual share in their afiections presents the most attractive subject of biogra phy. Contemporaries indulge a strong desire to view more mi untel the life and character Of the man, whose living excellence they have often felt and acknowledged and posterity receive With admiration the history of one who so widely blessed a preceding generation. The author of the following Discourses claims a high rank among men of this class. The testimonies, far and wide, given by the public to his excellence, the heart-felt sorrow so extenswely occasioned by his death, and the honours so profusely poured up on his memory; persuade us that we shall be listened to With lively interest, while we attempt, in the following Memoir, to sketch the most important incidents of his life, and to delineate the most striking traits of his character.
