Newton's Messiah Vol. 1 and 2.
Sermons, as to the substance (for most of them are
considerably abridged) were preached at a public and numerous assembly.
And, therefore, an accurate and logical discussion of the several
subjects was not aimed at. They are rather popular discourses; in
which, the Author, though he wished not to treat the politer part of
his auditory with disrespect, thought it likewise his duty, so to adapt
his manner to the occasion, as to be intelligible to persons of weak
capacities, and in the lower ranks of life. He conceives himself to be
a debtor to every class of his hearers; and that he ought to endeavour
to please all men, with a view to their education; but, farther than
this, not to be greatly affected, either by their approbation, or by
their censure.
