Inspiration and Interpretation Part 14

[135] I allude particularly to the late Hugh James Rose, B.D.

[136] Neh. iv. 17, 18.

[137] St. Luke xviii. 8.

[138] See Nelson's _Life of Bull_, p. 329, &c.

[139] See his admirable Preface.

[140] Newman's dedication of his 'Lectures on Romanism and popular Protestantism.'

[141] See the 'Monitum' prefixed to Dr. Routh's _Testimonia De Auctoritate S. Scripturae Ante-Nicaena.--Reliqq. Sacrae_, vol. v. p. 335.

[142] "In 1781, the first Sunday School was established in England by Robert Raikes, a publisher and bookseller in Gloucester."--National Society's _Circular_.

[143] _Primary Charge_, at the end of his _Sermons_.

[144] Rev. M. Pattison, in _Essays and Reviews_, p. 307.

[145] pp. 338, 375, 420 top line, 428, &c.

[146] See all this very ably and interestingly explained in an article reprinted from the 'Christian Remembrancer' (Jan. 1861,) _On certain Characteristics of Holy Scripture_, by the Rev. J. G. Cazenove, p. 11, &c.

[147] Nor is this a mere slip of Mr. Jowett's pen. At p. 372, he states that "a majority of the Clergy throughout the world,"--(with whom he a.s.sociates the "instincts of many laymen, perhaps also individual interest,")--are in favour of "_withholding the Truth_." But, he adds, (with the indignant emphasis of Virtue when she is reproaching Vice,)--"a higher expediency pleads that 'honesty is the best policy,'

and that truth alone 'makes free!'"--How would such insolence be treated in the common intercourse of daily life?--(I will not pause to remark on Mr. Jowett's wanton abuse of the Divine saying recorded in St. John viii. 32,--repeated at p. 351.)

[148] I suppose that there may have been many inspired Psalmists; and that perhaps the book of Judges was not all by one hand. With reference to the two books of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles, see 1 Chron. xxix. 29, 30. 2 Chron. ix. 29: xi. 2: xii. 15, 5, 7: xiii. 22.

[149] By the Jews themselves they were reckoned as 22.

[150] "It is remarkable that the word G?af?, which means simply _Writing_, is reserved and appropriated in the New Testament (where it occurs fifty times) to the _Sacred_ writings, i.e. to the _Holy Scriptures_; and marks the separation of the _Scriptures_ from all "common books," indeed from _all other writings_ in the world."--Wordsworth 'On Inspiration,'--p. 85.

[151] St. Luke xvi. 17.

[152] ?? d??ata? ?????a? ? ??af?,--St. John x. 35.

7.--Jeremiah xlviii. quotes Isaiah xv. 16.--Jeremiah xxvi. 18 quotes Micah iii. 12.--1 Chron. xxix. 15 quotes Ps. x.x.xix. 12.

(iii) _Allusive references_.--(This would involve a prolonged reference to the Hebrew Scriptures, which would be even out of place here.)

[160] E.g. in Heb. viii. 8-12, where Jer. x.x.xi. 31-36 is quoted. See Acts ii. 17-21, where Joel ii. 28-32 is quoted.

[161] It is supposed that the three well-known references to profane writers, (Acts xvii. 28. 1 Cor. xv. 33. t.i.t. i. 12, [concerning which see Jerome, _Opp._ i. 424: vii. 471,])--the place in St. Matthew, (xxvii. 9,)--and St. James iv. 5,--are scarcely exceptions to the statement in the text.
