    only the Author’s peculiarity of style, but also the state of the English language at the time in which he lived and wrote. A brief biographical sketch of the Author has been added to this edition, from the belief that any particu- lars of the life of a man, who was as eminent for his piety and loyalty as for his learning and industry, would not only gratify a laudable curiosity, but would be an useful example for the present and future gene- rations.
