This is an unwarranted ap- plication of the flandard of the truth of hif- tory. It is ufed likewife by this management to determine, not merely what portions are omitted, but to afcertain the reafon why they have been omitted by the other writer. Such is the exemplification of the licentious and ir- regular ufe of a rule, affumed under the pre- tence, and indeed with an ollerttation, of ac- curacy ; and fuch are the confequences of abandoning the ufual kinds of evidence, and SERMON VIL 241 inve...nting modes of inveftigation, which could not perhaps, even to the author, feem to pro- mife refults of greater certainty. A queftion however occurs in this place, with what de- gree of innocence can this be done ? The en- quiry after truth is laudable : and we are not affirming that there is guilt in fearching for it, where others have not preceded us ; but in fearching for it by means which are known not to be adapted for its difcovery. The pro- feffion of the love of truth has been repeated by polemics till it produces wearinefs and rea- fonable dillrull, becaufe it has too often pro- ceeded from the lips of thofe who have pre- vioully perverted the necellary evidence, or who have directed others to fearch for it in fources, which they knew would be explored in vain.
