Note Q, p. 225.--In giving a specimen of this mode of illustrating a
connected subject, we may only premise, that the method, as a branch of
Education, requires that all the general heads should be perceived
first, before any of them is sub-divided. For example, Paul's sermon at
Antioch, (Acts xiii.) must be perceived by the pupil in its great
outline, or general heads, before he be called on to separate these into
their several particulars. These heads as given in the Analysis, (Help
to Acts, vol. I. p. 187,) are to the following purport:
"The design of Paul in this discourse appears to be,
I. To conciliate the Jews.
II. To prove that the Messiah had already come, and that Jesus
was that Messiah.
III. To remove certain objections against Jesus being the
Messiah.
IV. To establish the claims of Jesus as the Messiah; and,
V. To press his salvation upon their notice and acceptance."
