An exposition by Matthew Henry of St Matthew's Gospel, 1698

An exposition with practical observations upon the Gospel according to St Matthew. A commentary by Matthew Henry on the Authorised Version of St Matthew, giving a copy of each chapter then an exposition on each verse in that chapter. Marginalia, principally scriptural cross references, some in Greek.

Matthew Henry (1662-1714), son of Philip Henry, became a Presbyterianminister like his father. He was a brilliant preacher, active in evangelical ministry throughout Cheshire, Staffordshire and Lancashire, although he was often persecuted for his non-conformism. He worked mainly in Chester, moving to Hackney for the last few years of his life. As well as an impassioned preacher, he was a prolific writer, his best known work being Exposition of the Old and New Testament. The ms text differs only very slightly from the published version.
