AMOS
839. BENEFIELD (SEBASTIAN, D.D. 1559—1630). A Commentary
upon the first Chapter of the Prophecie of Amos. Delivered in twenty-one
Sermons. 4to. Lond.,
1629. Upon the second chapter, in twenty-one Sermons, 1620. Upon the third
chapter, in seventeen Sermons, 1629. [Sometimes to be met with in one
volume.] 9/-, or with Hall
(No. 840), 2 vols., 18/- to 20/-
Dr. Benefield was
Lady Margaret Professor in Oxford,
a Puritan and thorough Calvinist. His volume was, in its time, the standard
Commentary on Amos. It is somewhat prolix and plentifully sprinkled with
Latin; it only discusses three chapters in 953 pages.
840. HALL (THOMAS, B.D., Puritan,
Born 1610). An Exposition; by way of Supplement, on the fourth,
fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth. and ninth Chapters of Amos. 4to. Lond., 1661.
Hall took up Amos where Benefield left off. He says he
studied brevity, and perhaps he succeeded, for he does not quite fill 600
pages with six chapters. The two quartos make up a complete work, of an
antique type, not suitable to modern tastes, nor up to the mark of present
criticism, but still instructive. What Puritan is not?

841. RYAN (VINCENT WILLIAM, M.A.) Lectures on Amos. 12mo. Lond., Seeleys. 1850. 2/-
A commendable series of Lectures; the more valuable because so few moderns
have ventured to touch the subject.
