Perhaps enough has been said respecting this folio “Life of Christ.” Let the curious reader, when he has the chance, purchase it for himself. The sentiments and the spirit of the book cannot fail to be of service to every one who gives it a fair perusal; whilst many of its lines will be found to be ponderous with thought, and full of genius. As a proof of this, we conclude the chapter with four quotations. The first is Wesley’s description of the glorious scene witnessed on Mount Tabor, and is, in fact, the first piece of the poem:— “To Tabor’s mount He beckon’d from the sky, Two glorious saints who reign’d enthroned on high; Moses, the leader of God’s chosen band, Who nature’s laws inverted with his wand; With him Elijah, who sublimely rode A car of lightning to the throne of God; Thus Law and Prophets their perfection find In Him, the hope, the price of lost mankind; Thus Christ, and Moses, and Elias came, Their persons different, but their views the same.

The three apostles, as the clouds prevail, Felt all their spirits and their muscles fail; Their loins relax, their knees no strength impart, And fear and trembling seize on every heart. Low on the earth, dissolved in reverent fear, They heard a voice, which none but they must hear; The voice of God; no more in frowns express’d, With lightnings written, or in thunder dress’d, Such as at Sinai issued forth the Law, And, with dread earthquakes, rock’d the plains below; But all melodious, tranquil, and serene, Which charm’d like music this delightful scene; In words like these the will of God was given, In attestation of the King of heaven: ‘I thus declare Thee my beloved Son,
