Excerpt from Notes on the Parables, of the New Testament: Scripturally Illustrated and Argumentatively Defended The third edition was published in 1822, in the State of Maine, far distant from the author's residence, which allowed him no opportunity to revise or correct the work, both which he would have been glad to do at that time. During-the time, in which the present edition has been in press, the feeble state of the au thor's health has rendered it impossible for him to make all the corrections which better health and more leisure would have enabled him to do. To conclude: the reader may be assured that the sentiments maintained in the following sheets, are ac cording to the honest convictions entertained by the author, truths fully and clearly supported by divine revelation, and of a character calculated to administer no small consolation to the sincere believer.
