Excerpt from An Apology for the Study of Divinity: Being the Terminal Divinity Lecture Delivered in Bishop Cosin's Library Before the Bishop, the Dean and Chapter, and the University of Durham
I may perhaps excite some surprise in your minds, when I say that the choice of a subject on which to address you has-caused me very considerable embarrassment. Whatever other difficulties may arise, it would seem that a science so comprehensive as divinity must at least present an ample harvest of subjects for discussion. But it is in good truth its extent which causes the difficulty, and perplexes the choice. A single lecture cannot describe the variety of objects which the science embraces.

Excerpt from An Apology for the Study of Divinity: Being the Terminal Divinity Lecture Delivered in Bishop Cosin's Library Before the Bishop, the Dean and Chapter, and the University of Durham
It may be right to mention, that the Lectures for the Students in Divinity at Durham are given in private, and day by day. The present Lecture was delivered in consequence of the decision by the Dean and Chapter, that each Professor should give a Lecture of a more public kind in the course of every term. The Lecture comprised, as will readily be supposed, some observations on the study of Morals and Metaphysics, as indispensable for the Divine. But from fear of occupying too much time in the delivery, these passages were omitted. And as the Lecture is published by desire, it is thought better to print nothing which was not actually delivered. This will, it is hoped, explain what might otherwise appear a deficiency in the Lecture.
