CHRISTIANITY NO SECT; THE SABBATH; THE PROMISES OF GOD; THE WORTH OF THE SOUL; A CHURCH IN THE HOUSE. BY MATTHEW HENRY. AUTHOR OF AN EXPOSITION OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT, ETC., FTC. WITH LIFE OF HENRY BY THE REV. JAMES HAMILTON, BOCTCH CHURCH, REGENT SQUARE, LONDON, LONDON: THOMAS NELSON. PATERNOSTER ROW, MDCCCXLVII, BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THE REV. MATTHEW HENRY. BY THE REV. JAMES HAMILTON, LONDON, THE first Life of Matthew Henry was written by a friend and cotemporary, the Rev. William Tong; and in the present day, a collateral descendant has published in three separate works, the Life of the Rev. Philip Henry, Memoirs of the Rev. Matthew Henry, and Memoirs of his sisters, Mrs. Savage and Mrs. Hulton. Never has biographer fulfilled his task with more conscientious accuracy, more affectionate enthusiasm, or a more delightful congeniality of feeling, than Sir John Bickerton Williams. To his volumes, or sources which he has indicated, we are indebted for all our facts; and readers whose curiosity is in any degree awakened by this slight notice, will find abundant information in those faithful records, where the memory of these worthies lives, and their very spirit breathes. Their able and excellent biographer must accept our thanks |
