Excerpt from The Bible Its Meaning and Supremacy
'His words I did use to gather for my food and for antidotes against my faintings.' Bunyan.
'The older error is, it is the worse,
Continuation may provoke a curse:
If the Dark Age obscured our fathers' sight,
Must their sons shut their eyes against the Light! 'Bishop Ken, Edmund.
'Omni studio legend nobis Scriptur sunt... ut probati trapezit sciamus quis nummus probus sit, quis adulter. Jer. Comm. in Ephes. 1. iii.5 (Vall. vii. 637).
'If Truth do anywhere manifest itself, seek not to smother it with glosing delusions, acknowledge the greatness thereof, and think it your best victory when the same doth prevail over you.' Hooker, Eccl. Pol. Pref. ix. 2.
'If it is certain that the writings of the Old Testament offer to us many grave difficulties which we are, at present, unable to overcome; it is no less certain that they offer a revelation of a purpose and a presence of God which bears in itself the stamp of truth. The difficulties lie in points of criticism; the revelation is given in the facts of a people's life.' Bishop Westcott, The Revelation of the Father, p. 159.
