Works of John Jortin in CP

Wow, I just found out about this learned scholar's work through a reference in The Typology of Scripture by Patrick Fairbairn. Fairbairn writes, "Jortin...employs his ingenuity in reckoning up as many as forty particulars in which Moses typically prefigured Christ." -- Patrick Fairbairn, The Typology of Scripture, vol. 1 (T & T Clark, 1864), 35.

A footnote tells me this work of Jortin's was Remarks on Ecclesiastical History, Vol. I., p. 138-152. So I went and looked it up, and it's available on Google Books, full text.

Wikipedia has this to say about it: "His Remarks on Ecclesiastical History (5 vols, 1751‑73), has been labelled "the most significant Anglican ecclesiastical history of the eighteenth century."

Some more key excerpts from his entry on Wikipedia:

"He was educated at Jesus College, Cambridge, where he became a Fellow in 1721. He was Rede lecturer at Cambridge in 1724, and Boyle lecturer in 1749. A churchman, he held various benefices, becoming in 1764 Archdeacon of London."

"Jortin briefly (1731-2) established a magazine, Miscellaneous Observations upon Authors, Ancient and Modern, in which he wrote on Spenser and Milton. Discourses Concerning the Truth of the Christian Religion (1746) was a work of Christian apologetics."

"Jortin was in many ways a late representative of Christian humanism, as well as an active citizen in the protestant republic of letters". Jortin published other miscellaneous pamphlets and tracts, and seven volumes of sermons appeared after his death. All his works showed learning, and were written in a lively style.

Here's a longer biographical sketch of him, in which someone writing about him is quoted at length: "whether I look back to his verse, to his prose, to his critical, or to his theological works, there are few authors to whom I am so much indebted for rational entertainment, or for solid instruction. Learned he was, without pedantry. He was ingenious without the affectation of singularity. He was a lover of truth, without hovering over the gloomy abyss of scepticism, and a friend to free inquiry, without roving into the dreary and pathless wilds of latitudinarianism. He had a heart which never disgraced the powers of his understanding. With a lively imagination, an elegant taste, and a judgment most masculine, and most correct, he united the artless and amiable negligence of a school-boy. Wit without ill-nature, and sense without effort, he could at will scatter upon every subject; and in every book the writer presents us with a near and distinct view of the real man."

So, let's get the works of John Jortin in Community Pricing. I'm currently preparing a Word document with his nearly "forty particulars in which Moses typically prefigured Christ" and they are amazing!
