Excerpt from Lectures in Divinity, Vol. 2 With this impression of the importance Of the subject, I proceed to analyse the Opinions concerning the Person of Christ. I do not propose to follow the order Of time, because there is some difficulty in ascertaining the dates of particular opinions, because the order in which they arose is not always very material, and because the frequent revival'of 'old opinions in new systems would render a chronology of them full of repetitions. Neither do I propose to fatigue your attention with the useless uninteresting detail of all the extravagant conceits broached by particular men, or of the minute shades of difference among those who agreed in their general system. I Shall furnish you with the information that is'of - real importance, by bringing forward the three great systems upon this subject. Their features are strong ly marked and clearly discriminated, and they ap pear to comprehend all the variety Of which the subject admits, because the several opinions which have at some times been exploded and at other times revived, are always reducible to one or other Of these three systems.
