            CONCLUDING REMARKS ON THE EPISTLE OF JAMES.

 James, the son of Alphaeus, the brother of Jacob, and the near
 relation of our Lord, called also James the Less, probably
 because he was of lower stature, or younger, than the other
 James, the son of Zebedee, is generally allowed to be the writer
 of this Epistle; and the few that have doubted this have
 assigned very slight reasons for their dissent, and advanced
 very weak arguments on the other side.  It is recorded in
 ecclesiastical history, and the book of the Acts of the Apostles
 confirms the fact, that he generally resided at Jerusalem,
 superintending the churches in that city, and in the
 neighbouring places, to the end of his life, which was
 terminated by martyrdom about A.D. 62.  This epistle appears to
 have been written but a short time before his death; and it is
 probable that the sharp rebukes and awful warnings given in it
 to his countrymen excited that persecuting rage which terminated
 his life.  It is styled Catholic, or General, because it was not
 addressed to any particular church, but to the Jewish nation
 throughout their dispersions.  Though its genuineness was
 doubted for a considerable time, yet its insertion in the
 ancient Syriac version, which was executed at the close of the
 first, or the beginning of the second century, and the citation
 of, or allusion to it, by Clement of Rome, Hermas, and
 Ignatious, and its being quoted by Origen, Jerome, Athanasius,
 and most of the subsequent ecclesiastical writers, as well as
 its internal evidence, are amply sufficient to prove the point.
