Our  own  opinions  and  remarks,  previously  given,  coincide,  in
tlie  main,  with  those  of  Dr.  Sprague.  Mr.  Jay  studied,  and
preached,  and  wrote  for  the  Christian  community  at  large.  He
wished  the  whole  world  to  hear  and  to  read,  in  the  most  intelli-
gible and  impressive  terms,  the  Gospel  of  the  grace  of  God ;  and
he  wrote,  therefore,  in  the  common  dialect,  as  the  best  vehicle
for  the  truth  of  God  ;  but  this  he  wrought  into  a  polished  shaft,
and  gave  it  a  direct  and  successful  aim.
