Excerpt from Commentaries: Suited to Occasions of Ordination The candidate [or candidates] is [or are] possessed of the motives, to the commentary now presented. For some few years after its being prepared, it was read during the examination but subsequent reflec tiout uggested, that if read in retirement, with medi tation and prayer, the intended effect would be thus the most likely to be accomplished. With this View, it was printed in a periodical Magazine, as were also the two other commentaries in this book; and some copies were struck off, to be given to succeeding candidates. The copies are reduced to two: which imposes on me the necessity of delivering, to each candidate, a copy to be read and to be returned by him.
