D., Archbishop of Glasgow, Vol. 3 of 4: To Which Is Prefixed, a Life of the Author The account by ascending, as It. Luke does, or by descend in g, as this Evangelist, is altogether indifi'erent; neither need we, with the ancients, seek subtle and mysterious reasons of it, which are too airy to have either certain truth, 'or profitable use in them. The reckoning of the one only down from Abra ham, and the other up to Adam, may have Some more solid reason; the one having regard to the particular promise made to Abraham, and the other to the general interest of mankind, and that according to the promise made to our first parents in the garden. And this beginning in Abraham here, relishes somewhat of that we spake, of penning this gospel in Hebrew, with particular respect to the Jews for informing them first as indeed the gospel was first to be preached to them, so might they have somewhat of the same privilege in the writing of it, He of whom it treats being born among them, and of them. And before entering to branch the lineage, the Evangelist par ticularly mentions David and Abraham, because of the part' cular promises made to them of the Messiah to come of their seed.
