Expositions (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Expositions

World suspects Â as it well may, since the subsidiary title of the volume was Expository Discourses-that my expositions are sermons under another name, and even that they have been actually preached. While T be Rock positively invents an ingenious and ?attering theory to account for the mysterious fact. At first we were puzzled to know why Dr. Cox did not call his sermons why should he call them expositions? We think we have discovered the reason. There is amongst sermons a strong family likeness, a painful similarity, so that like the dreary rows of new houses which spring up in the second-best quarters of a large town, you can hardly tell one from another. We do not mean that the matter of all published sermons is exactly alike. Far from it; but preachers still think that their sermons must follow what the lawyers call a common. Form. Now it is clear to us that the reason why Dr. Cox calls his sermons 'expositions' is that he may at once tell everybody that they have no commonplace. Likeness to the commonplace family. And, certainly, whether we like the sermons or not, at least we must grant that they,are not commonplace.
