Thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Mean while, such a spirit, if regulated by appropriate reverence, and caution, and patience, or, as the Scriptures themselves would ex press it, in one word, by the ‘fear of the Lord, ‘ would certainly lead to farther discovery of the hidden wonders’ in divine reve lation; which, even after all that have been observed, seem to be still as numerous as the stars of heaven. Then, too, would many a Christian find it not impossible to give various instances in proof, that as the north star, though it be less luminous than many others, yet, by reason of its position, doth better guide the pilot than even the moon herself; so are there some texts in Scripture which, though less conspicuous in themselves, are, by reason of their relation to a context, more instructive than other more radiant passages.
