Excerpt from An Essay on the Life of Jesus Christ The principal design of the the following essay, is to delineate the character of Jesus Christ, from the facts recorded in the history of his life. In execution of this design, it was thought proper to prefix a short account of the extraordinary interpositions of Providence, recorded in the gospel, in order to excite the greater attention to the principal subject and design of the essay. This is done in the first section. In the two following sections, a particular explication of the character of Jesus is attempted to be given, from the history of his life. Many useful observations have been made, by different writers, on this subject, and several virtues and perfections, which appeared in the life of Jesus, have been marked. But what these writers have observed, give us rather a detail of scattered, though beautiful particulars, than a single and connected view of the whole character at once. It would appear however from the Jesus Christ was formed, in every part of it, upon the influence of one great and leading principle: and that the whole tenor of his life, proceeding from this influence, was one united and consistent thing.
