There is nothing new in the following pages; except it be that they call popular attention to facts which have been commonly recognised only by scholars.
But I am aware that their contents will appear novel to many; and to remove this idea some extracts are here given from the Commentaries in general use.
1. Bishop Wordsworth on S. Matt. xiii. 3; "This chapter may be described as containing a Divine Treatise on the Church Militant here on earth."
2. Dean Alford on S. Matt. xiii. 52; "The seven Parables compose in their inner depth of connexion, a great united whole, beginning with the first sowing of the Church, and ending with the consummation." 3. The Speaker's Commentary on S. Matt. iii. 2; "It--the Kingdom of Heaven--signifies the promised Kingdom of the Messiah. Hence the expectation of the Messiah is spoken of as a waiting for the Kingdom of God. Our Lord, adopts the expression and frequently employs it to denote His Spiritual Kingdom the Church."
