Excerpt from The Seven Words Spoken Against the Lord Jesus; Or an Investigation of the Motives Which Led His Contemporaries to Reject Him: Being the Hulsean Lectures for the Year 1860

Very few remarks indeed are necessary as a preface to these Lectures, which were written and preached and are now published in accordance with the directions of the munificent Founder of the Hulsean Lectureship.

The shape in which they now appear is that of seven lectures and a conclusion. They were all preached before the University in the year 1860, excepting the fifth, which was not preached, on account of some new regulations having been made with regard to the Lectureship. The Conclusion was preached as part of the introductory Lecture.

It may perhaps be well here to notice, with respect to the title, The Seven Words spoken against the Lord Jesus, that no allusion is made in the text of the Lectures to the number of the accusations against the Lord being exactly seven. It is, however, no fanciful or unnatural grouping which separates the accusing words thus.
