    contempt , " p . 21 . So easy is it to see the mote in our brother ' s eye , while we are strangers to the beam that is in ouf own eye . Mr . Wakefield , in the ardour of controversy , was often too contemptuous in the

    treatment of his opponent ; others , without one-tenth part of his genius or learning , possess tenfold of his insolence of manner and language . But whatever were the Refects of Mr . Wakefield ' s temper

    U } conducting controversy , he was a man of . untainted honour and lnfjj e ^ ible integrity . Truth was the idol of his- heart , and ever up-P ^ mp st ia hi § thoughts . He never Wlfojiy misrepresented his

    adverj ^ y ' s doctrine , for the sake oi exposing Jnm to popular odium ; he p % y $ l intentionally mis-stated his Oj ^ g cj n ^ n tjs arguments ., for the sake either , of sneering at them , or of JQ ^ f jjting tl ^ efn , , He scorned to assert what he knew to be false ,

    by that prince of Greek literature , Dr . Burney , My readers , in the mean time , if they are persons of sound understanding , will rightly judge , that , however useful such works may be to explain the niceties of language , yet , that , for un « derstandiug the genuine doctrine

    of the New Testament concerning Jesus Christ , it will not be necessary to read either the one or the other . If the mysterious doctrine of the deity of Christ can only be supported by obscure criticisms upon Greek articles and particles , the cause is

    lost-9- The honest and well-meaning compilers of this little book of extracts , who , probably knowing very little of the subject themselves , support their opinions by the au « thority of the learned Professor , and being but dwarfs in theological lore , find it needful to fight under the buckler of this Irish .

    Ajax , having , with their hero ' s mace , demolished Mr . Wakefield and the editors of the Improved Version , now turn their weapons against another adversary , and aim their murderous blows at the
