Excerpt from Expository Discourses on the First Epistle of the Apostle Peter
The translation of the Epistle, though prefixed to the Expository Discourses, was written after them, and indeed contains a condensed statement of the result of the Author's investigations. This accounts for the fact that, in an instance or two, the sense given in the translation slightly differs from that commented on in the Exposition.
To prevent disappointment it is right to state that the object of the Author has been to produce not so much an original work, as a satisfactory exposition. In his estimate of the duties of an interpreter of Scripture, next to the careful study of the original text, ranks the attentive reading of what has been pub lished for the illustration of it. Under this conviction he has studied the Epis tle, not only without note or comment, but with all the notes and comments with in his reach; and the book he now respectfully lays before the church contains the substance of all that in his thoughts and reading seemed best fitted to illus trate the meaning and promote the objects Of the inspired writer. Of the helps of which he has availed himself, a list is furnished at the close of these prefatory remarks. He has distinguished by an asterisk those to which he has been chiefly indebted.
