Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Samuel Clarke, D. D., Theologian and Philosopher: A Thesis
He was anxious to make the Scriptures intelligible and useful to all who might meditate on them and in 1701 he published the first of his paraphrases, viz. That upon St. Mat thew's gospel, which was soon followed by those upon St. Mark, St. Luke ann St. John. Thereafter he began his para phrase upon the Acts of the Apostles, his one desire in all these efforts was to give plainness to the intricate connection of the parts, and to make clear the meaning almost concealed in the old words used, which would otherwise have escaped the thought of common readers. Through the kindly in?uence of the Lord Bishop of Norwich he received the rectory of Drayton and a parish in that city. His style of preaching was without notes and with great ?uency of utterance. In4 Samael Clarke, D. D., Philosopher and Theologian.
