“Plerique dum plus nos diligunt quam meremur, haec jactant et loquuntur,
sermones nostros doctrinamque laudantes, quae conscientia nostra non recipit.
Alii vero tractatus nostros calumniantes ea sentire nos criminantur quae
nunquam sensisse nos novimus."-ORIGEN, Homil. xxv. in Luc.

I Dedicate these Sermons,

Not as claiming for them the sanction of his high authority, but as a small expression of gratitude for the unvarying help and kindness which from youth upwards I have received from his friendship; and to record my sense of the high services which he has rendered to Biblical Literature by his constant labours, his keen insight, and his large-hearted charity.
