In Volume 3 of his published sermons (Short Discourses Vol 3) Beddome refers to only to two writers, as far as we can see.
3:3 Luke 19:41, 42
Edward Young (1681-1765) The Complaint
In sorrow drowned but not in sorrow lost
3:11 Zechariah 9:12 The sinner's refuge
Probably a reference to Plato
A heathen philosopher blessed God that he was born at Athens and have we not greater reason to bless him that we were born in a Christian country and descended from godly ancestors?
3:12 Acts 9:4 Martin Luther (1483-1586)
It is the general character of unconverted men to be of a persecuting spirit. "Cain," says Luther, "will kill Abel to the end of the world." He might indeed with great propriety make this observation, for few men have been more cruelly harassed or more wonderfully preserved from their enemies than he.
