Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermons and Extracts But with this difference; that whereas, in other things, we may, and often do, indulge our partialities without great and manifest detriment to ourselves or others: in religion, where the various parts of Scripture stand upon the same divine authority, we cannot embrace some, and neglect the rest, without the utmost hazard of forfeiting our eternal happiness. Yet, as if regardless of the danger, when men have once devoted themselves to their darling tenets, they scruple not to maintain them by such expositions of some passages in the holy scriptures, as are at variance with all the dictates, not only of sound learning, but of common prudence and propriety. Their interpretation is frequently so literal, as to be incompatible with the style and character of the sacred writings; or so unguarded, as to apply to our own days what belongs exclusively to the earliest times of Christianity; or so unlearned, as to overlook some ancient event, custom, opinion, idiom, or-allusion, which must be taken into consideration, before the real drift of the words in question can be understood.
