St. Luke iii. 22.

ASK FOR THE OLD PATHS, WHERE IS THE GOOD WAY, AND WALK
THEREIN; AND YE SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.

JEREMIAH VI. 16.

GRANT, O LORD, THAT IN READING THY WORD, I MAY NEVER
PREFER MY OWN SENTIMENTS BEFORE THOSE OF THE CHURCHI
IN THE PURELY ANCIENT TIMES OF CHRISTIANITY.

THE MEMORY

OF THE REVEREND

WILLIAM JOSCELYN PALMER, M.A.,

FOR NEARLY HALF A CENTURY, RECTOR OF MIXBURY

AND FINMERE:

THE VERY MODEL OF A PARISH PRIEST:

SO SOUND AND JUDICIOUS IN HIS TEACHING;

SO FAITHFUL IN HIS STEWARDSHIP;

SO KIND TO THE POOR:

This Commentary on St. Luke's Gospel

IS DUTIFULLY INSCRIBED,

IN GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE OF THE LESSONS

LEARNED WHILE THE AUTHOR WAS

HIS CURATE.
