Excerpt from Hebrew and English Lexicon, Without Points: In Which the Hebrew and Chaldee Words of the Old Testament Are Explained in Their Leading and Derived Senses, the Derivative Words Are Ranged Under Their Respective Primitives, and the Meanings Assigned to Each Authorized by References to Passages of Scri The Rev.

He continued to cultivate with ardour the studies becoming a clergyman; and from his family connexions, as well as from his piety and learning, he certainly had a great right to look forward to preferment in his profession; but an early attachment to retirement, and to a life of close and intense study, prevented him from seeking any.
