Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Horæ Solitariæ, or Essays Upon Some Remarkable Names and Titles of Jesus Christ, Vol. 1 of 2: Occurring in the Old Testament and Declarative of His Essential Divinity and Gracious Offices in the Redemption of Men; To Which Is Annexed an Essay, Chiefly Historical, Upon the Doctrine of the Trinity
The same observations will extend to the purpose of the see cond volume, which treats of the divinity of the holy spirit, and of his peculiar concern in the work of salvation. His ofice proves his nature, and his distinct manifestation, his hereon.
If these Essays shall be so blessed, as to set the divinity of this great Saviour and the Holy Spirit in a fuller view, or to cherish the faith and hope of any believer, or to elucidate, in the smallest degree, the mystery of the kingdom the author will think, that the transmission of re?ections, which occurred to himself, has not been an idle amusement, but a happy expense of his time and pains. If by a contrary determination of the divine Providence, they should not thus succeed; he will still confess, that he has reason to he very thankful, on his own account, for the many mo ments of consolation whtch he experienced in writing and revising them. However, he leaves the whole, with resignation, to the will of Him, who worketh what, and when, and by whom he pleas eth. The power of god can convey his mercies through the me dium of the meanest instrument, or the meanest words; while, without that attendant energy, all the eloquence and wisdom of man, or even of angels, though it might silence or confute the mind, could never enliven or convert the heart.
