The Acts of the Apostles are intimately connected with the Epistles, especially those of St Paul, and are principally illus trated by them. In the Epistles, our annotations are not con fined to those portions which are more abundantly full of doctrine : but they are carried on equally throughout, and are almost perpetual. The sum and series of events is given in the Ordo Temporum, cap. 6.

3 William Sherlock, D.D., Dean of St Paul's, must not be confounded with his son, Thomas Sherlock, Bishop of London, nor with Dr Richard Sherlock, author of " The Practical Christian." He was born in Southwark about 1641, educated at Eton, and thence removed to Peterhouse, Cambridge, 1657. He became Rector of St George's, Botolph Lane, London, in 1669 ; after which he was made successively Prebendary of St Pauls, Master of the Temple. Rector of Therlfield, Hertfordshire, and in 1691 Dean of St Pauls. He died A.D. 1707. He was a learned divine, a clear, polite, and forcible writer, and an eloquent preacher. — (I. B.)
