Saint Paul hath furnished us with so rich a variety of moral and
spiritual precepts, subordinate to the general laws of piety and virtue,
that out of them might well be compiled a body of Ethics, or system
of precepts de officiis, in truth and completeness far excelling those
which any philosophy hath been able to devise or deliver. Dr. Barrow.

SAINT PAUL'S TENDERNESS OF HEART.

AMONG the peculiarities of Chris

tianity, it is one of the most striking, that they who, in Scripture language, love not the world, nor the things of the world, are yet the persons in it who are farthest from misanthropes. They love the beings of whom the world is composed, better than he who courts and flatters it. VOL. II.
