PHILEMON.

1308 ATTERSOLL (WILLIAM. Puritan). Commentary upon Philemon. Second Edition. Folio. Land., 1633. 4/–. A long comment upon a short epistle. The pious author labors to keep to his text, and succeeds in bringing out of it a mass of quaint practical teaching.

1309 COX (SAMUEL). Philemon. In “The Private Letters of St. Paul and St. John.” I2mo. 3/- Land., Miall. 1867. Such exposition as this adds interest to the epistles, and makes their writers live again before our eyes. Mr. Cox delivered this work in public an certain week evenings.

Happy are the people who are thus instructed.

DYKE (DANIEL, B.D. Puritan. Died about 1614). A most fruitful Exposition upon Philemon. Lond. 4to. 1618. 4/- to 7/’ Dyke’s remarks are memorably practical and full of common sense. He abounds in proverbs. The work is not very valuable as an exposition of the words, but excels in making use of them.

I3XX JONES (WILLIAM, D.D., of East Bergholt.) Commen- tary upon Philemon, Hebrews, and x and 2 John. Folio.

Lond., 1636. 9/- to 12/.

Very lively, sprightly, colloquial lectures, by a Suffolk divine, who thinks the Brownists and Dissenters were not persecuted. “Christ was whipped, that was persecution; Christ whipped some out of the temple, that was no persecution.” Despite his intolerance he says some uncommonly racy things.
