N. B. From these, and a vaft Number of other Paffages in the Larger Epiftles, not here fet down, because there was nothing in the Smaller to answer them, we learn how exactly the fame Larger Epiftles exprefs the Original Language of the Church, as delivered by the Apostles and their Companions; before the old Hereticks, and among them Tertullian, by Degrees introduc'd their Philofophical Notions and Hypothefes into Chriftianity afterwards. And from the Parallel Places in the Smaller Copies, we learn that their Language is either not at all Chriftian, but Heretical; or at leaft that the most common and ufual Ways of fpeaking among the Chriftians, are there the moft rare and unufual: That God the Father is therein never call'd αληθινΘ- Θεὸς, παντοκράτως, ποι' αγέννη το nor the Son μονογενής, nor γυνητὸς, in the ancient Senfe, of his Generation before the World; but exprefly T and that inftead of the ufual Words, Kue, ow, and the like, he is. filed God very frequently, as if he were the principal Perfon concern'd, even to the Neglect of the Father himfelf: All in direct Contradiction to the other Original Remains of our Religion. Nay indeed, I hardly know of one fingle Place in all the Seven Smaller Epiftles, where they have the Advantage in this Refpect; or exprefs the Doctrines of the Gofpel more agreeably to the other moft Primitive Monuments of Chriftianity.

The Rules for Practical Religion contain'd in these Larger Epiftles, and generally omitted in the Smaller, efpecially thofe for Domestical Duties; for the Clergy, the Laity, for Husbands and Wives, Mafters and Servants, Parents and Children, Virgins and Widows, &c. are fre-' quent, ferious, and full; and are exactly agree
