Propædia Prophetica (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Propædia Prophetica By the terms of Bishop Warburton's will, it is stipulated, that the Lectures delivered under its foundation, shall be printed and published. I have hoped, that in giving to the public these commentaries upon the same argument as I had chosen for the Lectures which were preached, I shall be considered as having sufficiently fulfilled the spirit of the testators will, though I have not complied with the letter of his injunctions. Of the delay which has taken place in the publication, it is hardly necessary to give any account. Many causes have conspired, and among others, the duties and avocations of a large and laborious parish. But the chief has been the hesitation felt by me in consequence of the apparent novelty, both of the general view which I have taken of the Evidences, and of many particular questions connected with them. New lights are commonly very unsafe lights to trust to, even in matters of minor importance, but in religion they require, for the most part, to be known, only that they may be avoided.
