Stradbroke Vicarage , 22d October, 1869.
P. S. I hope, if it please God to prolong liie, health, and a moderate degree of leisure, to carry on my work on St. John without delay. A third vol- ume will complete it. If any one will take the trouble to count all the verses in St. John's Gospel, he will find that the last nine chapters contain about the same quantity of matter as the first six, and the second six chapters. I have therefore good ground for thinking that the third volume will not exceed in length either of the two which have preceded it.
After finishing " Expository Thoughts on the Gos- pels," I hope to attempt " Expository Thoughts on the Acts of the Apostles.
