Excerpt from The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Vol. 2: Translated From the Original Greek; With Original Notes, Practical Observation Several of the epistles were written on special occasions, but others were not. These special occasions, however, were of such a nature, as gave the most favourable opportunity for explaining doctrines, enforcing precepts, and giving admonitions and counsels, of the greatest importance to the church of Christ in every age. Nor has any thing ever yet been devised, more suited to render the word of God of no effect, than the notion, that we have little or nothing to do with this and the other part of scripture, and can conclude nothing general from it, because it was written on a particular occasion.
