Overview

Excerpt from The Works of the Right Reverend Joseph Hall, D. D. Bishop of Exeter and Afterwards of Norwich, Vol. 3 Some perhaps will imagine it might have been much better to have taken the whole text before me, than to have thus selected some noted periods of harder construction; who may be pleased to consider how much vastness might so have accrued to this labour, and how little use. To paraphrase easy texts had been to set up a candle before the sun; and to publish the whole text, with a partial explication, if leave might possibly have been oh tained for so bold a project, had been to raise the bulk and to lose the vigour and benefit of the work; since there be some historical books of Scripture wherein there is very little use of any paraphrase, and some, as those of the Chronicles, wherein there is none at all. Herein therefore I have done that which I judged to avail most to the use and profit of my Christian reader, whom I must suppose furnished with a Bible at home, and willing to help his understanding in places of more obscurity.
