VOLUME II.

As a due consideration of foreign foreign testimonies and monuments often
gives great light to what is obscurely expressed in the Scripture; so
where the Scripture in these things, with such allowances as it every
where declares itself to admit of, may be interpreted in a fair compli-
ance with uncontrolled foreign testimonies, that interpretation is to be
embraced.
