Dudley says he has seldom seen anything so masterly, though slight; and each had attached to it a short poetical description. Is Saul, you will say, among the prophets? Colonel Mannering write poetry! Why, surely this man must have taken all the pains to conceal his accomplishments that others do to display theirs.
The purpose of the deliverance is to make 'prophets of His law. Such was the divine intention as to Israel. Such is God's purpose as to all Christians. The very meaning of redemption is there.

Did you notice that his coat was made of camel's hair, and that he had a leathern girdle round his loins?
And the angel which I saw standing upon the sea and upon the land lifted up his hand towards heaven, and he swore by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the things which are therein, and the earth and the things which are in it, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that time shall be no longer: but that in the days of the blast of the seventh angel, when he shall sound, then shall the mystery of God be completed, as he spake by his own servants the prophets.
