To the pious, learned, and benevolent Reader, Greetings from Johann Heinrich Schweizer, Professor at the School in Zurich. [1]  What is found in the frontispiece of the Hymns of DAVID , Psalm 1:2, 3, That Man is blessed, whose delight is in the law of Jehovah, with the result that he doth meditate in that Law day and night.  He is like a Tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, the leaves of which fade not ; that is certainly worthy al

Finally, it remains to respond in a few words to the seventh  Question mentioned in § 1, How does the Apostle, in citing this prophecy, reach the goal that he intends? tying verse  14 with what precedes by the logical conjunction διό/ wherefore .  In context, Paul addresses believing Ephesians, who were sometimes darkness, but now were made Light in the Lord , verse  8.  He had instruct these, in verse  11, καὶ μὴ συγκοινωνεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τοῖς ἀκάρποις τοῦ σκότους, μᾶλλον δ

The fourth  ζήτημα/ question  that I proposed in § 1 is, Whether the speech here is directed to the regenerate and believing alone; or to the unregenerate, who, in a natural state after the fall, yet lie insensible in their errors and sins in the sleep of spiritual death?   An answer to this question is almost able to be returned from those things that have already been set forth in § 11 for the illustration of the oracle of Isaiah , Isaiah 60:1-3.  That the twofold or repeat
