2 Kings 20:20 — diferentes naciones medían el tiempo, y entre ellas los judíos, no se ha producido nada propiamente satisfactorio, aunque se puede encontrar uno casi en la misma forma de esquema que el presente en las Recreaciones Matemáticas de Hutton, vol. iii, p. 337, proyectado sobre una superficie plana, que no podría mostrar el ascenso y descenso de la sombra como el que ahora tiene el lector, que el ingenio del citado caballero ha llevado a un grado de perfección casi tan grande como puede esperarse razonablemente.

John overview — Preface to the Gospel According to St. JohnWith A Short Account of His LifeJohn, the writer of this Gospel, was the son of a fisherman named Zebedee, and his mother's name was Salome. Compare Matthew 27:56, with Mark 15:40, and Mark 16:1. His father Zebedee was probably of Bethsaida, and with his sons James and John followed his occupation on the sea of Galilee. The call of these two brothers to the apostleship is related, Matthew 4:21, Matthew 4:22;

Romans overview — this formal conclusion, "that a man is justified by faith, without the deeds of the law," he presently subjoins, Romans 3:31, "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid! Yea, we establish the law." In the seventh chapter, when in Romans 7:6 he had advanced the bold assertion, "that now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held;" in the next verse he comes in with this healing question, "What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid! Nay, I had not known

Joshua 10:12 — miracle wrought on this occasion served greatly to confirm the Israelites, not only in the belief of the being and perfections of God, but also in the doctrine of an especial providence, and in the nullity of the whole system of idolatry and superstition.7. That no evil was done by this miraculous interference, nor any law or property of nature ultimately changed; on the contrary, a most important good was produced, which probably, to this people, could not have been brought about any other way; and that

Joshua 10:12 — en esta ocasión sirvió en gran medida para confirmar a los israelitas, no sólo en la creencia del ser y las perfecciones de Dios, sino también en la doctrina de una providencia especial, y en la nulidad de todo el sistema de idolatría y superstición. 7. Que ningún mal fue hecho por esta interferencia milagrosa, ni ninguna ley o propiedad de la naturaleza fue cambiada en última instancia; por el contrario, se produjo un bien importantísimo, que probablemente, para este pueblo, no podría haberse producido

Hebrews 13:25 — such thing as conscience in a Christian, if we leave God out of the question." Sermon on Conscience, page 332.Some of the Greek fathers seem to consider it as an especial gift of God; a principle implanted immediately by himself. So Chrysostom, on Psa 7., speaking of conscience, says: φυσικον γαρ εστι, και παρα του θεου ημιν παρα την αρχην εντεθεν. It is a natural thing, but is planted in us by our God from our birth, In his homily on Isaiah 6:2, he explains himself more particularly: θειον γαρ εστι,

2 Peter overview — even the advocates for the second epistle have in general granted that the style of this chapter is not the usual style of St. Peter. Bishop Sherlock, for instance, acknowledges it; nor, though I contend that there is some similarity, as in 2 Peter 2:5-7, will I assert that there is no difference. But it will not therefore follow that the whole epistle was not written by St. Peter: and if it is allowable to draw a conclusion from one or two passages, it will be no other than this, that the second chapter
