by Matthew Henry
Excerpt from Daily Communion With God: Christianity No Sect; The Sabbath; The Promises of God; The Worth of the Soul; A Church in the House
IN tlie reign of Charles I. There was an orchard at Whitehall, and the keeper of it was John Henry, a Welsh man. His wife, Magdalen Rochdale, was a pious woman who took great pains with her children, and instructed them carefully in Perkins' Six Principles, and the other lesson books which preceded the Shorter Catechism. When dying, she said, My head is in heaven, and my heart is in heaven; it is but one step more, and I shall be there too. The name of their only son was Philip. Having become a thoughtful boy at Westminster school, and, at Oxford, under such teachers as Owen and Goodwin, having grown into an enlightened Christian and an accomplished divine, he became a minister, and was settled in Worthenbury, a little parish of Flintshire.

Henry's well-known Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1708-1710) is a commentary of a practical and devotional rather than of a critical kind, covering the whole of the Old Testament, and the Gospels and Acts in the New Testament. After the author's death, the work was finished by a number of ministers, and edited by George Burder and John Hughes in 1811. Not a work of textual criticism, its attempt at good sense, discrimination, its high moral tone and simple piety with practical application, combined with the well-sustained flow of its English style, made it one of the most popular works of its type. Matthew Henry's six volume Complete Commentary, originally published in 1706, provides an exhaustive verse by verse study of the Bible. His commentaries are still in use to this day.
