MALACHI
884.
MOORE (T. V., D.D.) See under Haggai, No. 873.
885. POCOCK (EDWARD, D.D.) See
under Joel, No. 835.
886. SCLATER (WILLIAM, D.D.) Brief and Plain Commentary upon
Malachy. 4to. Lond.,
1650. 5/' or 6/-
Not equal to the general standard of Puritan comments. The editor of the
work rightly says, "the method is, for the chapters themselves,
analytical; for the practical observations, synthetical." We are
quaintly told that he would start the hare with any man; that is to say, he
would suggest thought and leave others to pursue its track.
887. STOCK (RICHARD, M.A. 1568—1626). A Commentary upon
Malachy. Whereunto is added an Exercitation upon the same Prophecy by
Samuel Torshell. Folio. Lond.,
1641. [Re-printed, together with Bernard
and Fuller on Ruth. Cr.
4to. 7/6. Lond., Nisbet.
1865.] See No. 262.
Contains a stock of
knowledge, and more than a sufficient stock of quotations from the fathers.
Torshell printed the book
fifteen years after Stock's
death, and finding it to be written for a popular audience only, he added
an examination of the original and a few notes in a more learned style, to
make a complete commentary. The two authors have thus composed the work upon Malachi.
888.
WATSON (THOMAS. Puritan). Notes on Malachy III.
8vo. 1682.
'This would be a great find if we could only come at it, for Watson is one of the clearest and
liveliest of Puritan authors. We fear we shall never see this commentary,
for we have tried to obtain it, and tried in vain.
May God
bless this effort to assist his ministers in the study of the Old
Testament.
