Excerpt from Lectures on Ecclesiastical History
This is one consideration, which immediately affects the evi-a dence of the Christian revelation.
Again, as the last mentioned dispensation is erected on the, Mosaical, the divine origin of which it every where pre-supg poseth; whatever affects the credibility of the latter,' will un questionably affect the credibility of the former; whatever tends to subvert the basis, tends of necessity to overturn the super structure; and, on the contrary, when once the connection be tween the two establishments, the Mosaic and the Christian, is thoroughly understood, whatever tends to confirm the one, tends also, though more indirectly, to confirm the other. This reflection naturally leads us to carry our researches further back, and endeavour, as much as possible, to get acquainted with all those circumstances and events which can throw any light upon the scripture history.
