Excerpt from Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Epistle to the Hebrews It purports to have been written to the Hebrews. This is not found, indeed, in the body of the epistle, though it occurs in tlie subscription at the end. It difl'ers from all the other epistles of Paul in this respect, and from most of the others in the New Testament. In all of the other epistles of Paul, the church or person to whom the letter was sent is specified in the commencement. This, however, commences in the form of an essay or he. Mily; nor is there anywhere in the epistle any direct intimation to what church it was sent. The subscription at the end is of no authority, as it can not be supposed that the author himself would afiix it to the epistle, and as it is known that many of those subscriptions are false. See the remarks at the close of the N otes on Romans, and I. Corinthians. Several questions present themselves here which we may briefly investigate.
