Excerpt from Lectures on the Gospel of St. Matthew, Vol. 2 of 2: Delivered in the Parish Church of St. James, Westminster, in the Years 1798, 1799, 1800, and 1801 This instantly suggested to him an idea the most extravagant that could be ima gined, that this very person who assumed the name of Jesus was in fact no other than John the Baptist himself, Whom he had beheaded, and who was now risen from the dead, and was endowed with the power of working miracles, though he never performed any when living.

Excerpt from Lectures on the Gospel of the St. Matthew, Vol. 1 of 2: Delivered in the Parish Church of St. James, Westminster, in the Years 1798, 1799, 1800, and 1801 The lower orders of the people, by the most offensive and impious publications; while at the same time it must be ac knowledged, that among too many of the higher classes, there prevailed, in the midst of all our distresses, a spirit of dis sipation, profusion, and voluptuous gaiety, ill Suited to the gloominess of our situa tion, and ill calculated to secure to us the protection of Heaven against the va rious dangers that menaced us on every side. Under these circumstances, it seemed to be the duty of every friend to religion, morality, good order, and good government, and more especially of the ministers of the Gospel, to exert every power and every talent with which God had blessed them, in order to coun flew the baneful effects of those pesti.

Excerpt from The Gospel of St. Matthew, Vol. 2 There are four stages in the narrative. Verses I3 and 14 Show our Lord seeking solitude for Himself and His disciples, but patiently accepting the inrush of the curious crowd. Verses 15-18 report the preparatory conversation with the disciples. Verse 19 and the first half of verse 20 tell the fact and veil the manner of the miracle; and the remainder of the lesson narrates its sequel, in the abundance left for another day's need.

The Homilies of St. Chrysostom on St. Matthew were undoubtedly delivered at Antioch (see Hom. vii. p. 43) and probably in the latter part of the time during which he preached as a Presbyter. Montfaucon consideres his little mention of the sin of swearing a sign of his accomplished some reformation on that point by his previous exertions. In the Homilies delievered from 386 to 388, it is a constant topic; and the Homilies known to belong to that date are so numerous, as scarcely leave room for such a series as the present. These, however, contain very little to mark the period to which they belong. The argument from his reference to dissensions some time gone by, possible those between St. Meletius and Paulinus and Evagrius, in commenting on St. Matt. xxiii. 6. is not very conclusive. A modern reader must sometimes be struck with finding in St. Chrysostom a kind of criticism, which we are apt to thing belongs only to later times. Hist main object, however, is moral, and he searches out with diligence both the meaning and the applications of particular passages, usually concluding with an eloquent exhortation to some special virtue. Some of the most remarkable of these exhortations are on the subject of Alms-giving, which he seems to have pressed with some success at last. His calculation in Hom. lxvi as to what might be done, is somewhat curious. In the end of Hom. lxxxviii. he demands a reformation as the condition of his entering on the cntroversy with Infidels. In the next Homily he discusses the evidence of the Resurrection with nearly the same arguments as would still be used against an objector. This is volume two out of two, covering the homilies #XLII through #XC.
