AFTER a delay of some years, it is with feelings of reverent thankfulness to Almighty God, that I issue a further portion of the Greek New Testament. Most of those Subscribers, who at their own desire receive this work in portions, are aware what has hindered the appearance or even the printing of this Third Part for so long a time. To others it may suffice to say that after the Second Part was completed, but before it was issued, I was so visited with illness that it appeared very unlikely that I should ever be able to complete or even to continue the work. The delay has not been desired by me; and it has only been the necessity of the case which has caused this interval.

As this part of my Greek Testament may be employed, perhaps, by those who have not the Introductory Notice to the two first Gospels at hand, I give here not only the account of any new materials, but also a general list of the MSS., etc., cited, and an explanation of the marks and abbreviations used in the text, margin, and notes.
