Vol 04 - OBADIAH.

OBADIAH.

842 MARBURY (EDWARD, A.M. Died about I655). Obadiah 1:4 to.

Lond., 1649. 4/6. ‘ Reprinted, with his Commentary upon Habakkuk, in Nichol’s Series. Cr. 4to. 7/–. £and., Nisbet. 1865.

Far more lively than Rainolds. His spirituality of mind prevents his learning becoming dull. He says in the preface, “all my desire is to do all the good I can,” and he writes in that spirit.

843 PILKINGTON (JAMES, B.D., Bp. of Durham. 1520~x575). In the “Works of Bishop Pilkington,” reprinted by the Parker Sac/ely, there are Commentaries on Haggai, Obadiah, and Nehemiah. S. 3/-

Full of the minor as well as the major controversies of the Reformation period, and therefore the less interesting to us. In its own day it was the master-work on the two prophets, Haggai and Obadiah.

844 RAINOLDS (Joliet, D.D. 1549 — 1607). The Prophecie of Obadiah opened and applyed. 4to. 16x3. 3/- to 4/6. Re- printed, with his work on Haggai, and King on Jonah, in one volume of Nichol’s Series. Cr. 4to. 7/6. Lond., Nisbet. 1864.

Full of classical stories and learned allusions; but more useful when first written than now. The author was one of the most learned men the world ever produced, but he is not likely to be a favorite with modem readers.
