About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1830.

Since therefore we have no demand on God for this sort of knowlege in any degree whatever, it is evident that, whenever we have it, we must ascribe our having it to some special reasons of Providence; which reasons alone can limit the degree of light and knowlege which ought to attend on the word of prophecy. For if we have from prophecy so much light as fully answers the end of giving the prophecy, I would fain know on what reason we can form a complaint for want of more? I eaean this, to show how absurd it is for men to take counsel of their curiosity, when they consider the use and weight of prophecy; in this view they will find nothing to satisfy them: they may go on for ever asking why are we not told more, or more distinctly? Which questions we may promise to answer whenever they inform us on wha...
