Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Practical Commentary Upon the First Epistle of St. Peter, Vol. 1: And Other Expository Works
While I was thus employed, I observed that the confusion which many have complained of in the archbishop's method, and which I myself really thought matter of. Some just complaint too, was fre quently the consequence of omitting the numeral marks, which should denote the subordination of heads, and this where some of them are inserted, as if on purpose to increase the perplexity. And it also very frequently results from the neglect of giving a proper view at first of the method proposed, and which was worst of all, in not a few places, from placing the number of the head, instead of the head itself. This, perhaps, was done with design in the first copy, to save the trouble of writing it over again; but it is extremely inconvenient to the reader, as it most naturally leads him to mistake the first sentence of the enlargement, for the head it is in tended to illustrate.
