Religion / book
English term or phrase: within the same compass
Rev George Rogers, Principal of the Pastors' College, has carefully superintended the issue of this present edition, and in a note to us he writes: I know of no work with so much sermon matter ***within the same compass***. In Howe, and Charnock, and Owen, we must often read much before we are tempted to close the book and think out a whole sermon, but Watson teaches us to make short work of it. The whole may be utilised. On this account it would be, I think, of great value to all our students who have pastorates.

agree  fionn: Este es el sentido, definitivamente. 'compass' refiere aqui a 'la brevedad del espacio abarcado', no al tema; y 'same' aquí es como 'such'. Debe haber una manera más elegante para decirlo, pero no se me ocurre cómo...

agree  Beatriz Ramírez de Haro: Sí, tienes razón, la segunda frase nos da la pista. Retiro mi respuesta. Saludos
