Excerpt from The Countess of Northesk: With an Introduction

It is the glory of Holy Scripture that it is adapted for all men, and for all states and conditions whatever; for them in their high estate, and in their low estate; in their joy and in their sorrow; it finds for them the most suitable utterance of their loftiest exultation, of their deepest humiliation. Whatever may be the believer's condition, it meets the present needs of his soul.

But it is also the characteristic of Scripture that you cannot in it, as in human systems of Theology, turn to some certain page or section, and find all which is therein contained on some given subject or head. There reigns in Scripture the truest method; for it is the method which God, who is absolute wisdom, has esteemed the best; but nothing of human system or arrangement. There reigns in it, as in some magnificent landscape, the freedom of nature, and not as in a trimmed garden, the narrowness of art: and thus its various subject-matters, history and prophecy, law and gospel, threatening and comfort, are intertwined one with another. It is lyrical and didactic by turns; in the beginning it already looks on to the end; in the end are manifold allusions to the beginning.

The fact that this is so, while it brings many blessings with it, at the same time renders needful works of the class of this present; I mean, works which shall collect, if not all, yet the most important of what is there to be found on any single subject into one focus, and in this form present it to the reader. Not every one has the ability to do this for himself; to many the time would be wanting, to some the diligence sufficient, however they may be ready thankfully to avail themselves of the diligence of others.

And nowhere is this selecting, ordering, and arranging more needful than in respect of those portions of the Word of God which may be considered to bear particularly on the condition of the sick, the suffering, and the dying, and which were given that they, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, might have hope.
