What ati admirable " pillar and ground of truth," according to Doctor Todd, our church constitutes !] (Page 124.) Again — " The general adoption of this erroneous canon of interpre- tation, &c.," [we gather from St. Paul, that the office of a bishop is to check the spread of erroneous interpretations, or rather to eradicate them altogether. When we find, however, Doctor Todd declaring that Budi interpretations are those which are "general," "common," "popular," promulgated by "the great majorit...y of commentators," is it possible to avoid being forced by him to the conclusion, that our views about episcopacy are all wrong ? Well might the bishops, in reading Doctor Todd's Discourses, cry, " Save us from our friends ! "] (Page 125.) Again — "And further I am disposed to believe, that the interfnre- tation generally given is unsound and untenable." (Page 127.) Again — "The commion interpretation, I may add, appears to fail, &c." (Page 127.) In the fourth lecture we read — "I conceive, therefore, that the licence which is so commonly assumed by commentators, [he means Protestant commentators on prophecy especially], is here utterly un- justifiable." (Page 162.) There is no difficulty, however, according to Doctor Todd, in ascer- taining the Ignis Fatuus which had led our divines astray, and origi- nated in effect the E^formation, it was " the blinding rage of angry controversy." Sure I am that the headlong passions of Henry VIII., to which Papists attribute the British Reformation, were a thousand times a more creditable source for it, than the vile spirit whence, according to Doctor Todd, it emanated.
