Ch. 5, 3. (Whistoii's translation. ) f " Then shall the sign, fyc.

THE SCRIPTURES ASSERTED, &C. 331 they were idle bombast of human composi- tion, to be put almost on a level with the *' words Spoke by an idiot; full of sound and fury, 'Signifying nothing. " It is degrading- enough to divinely inspi...red writers, such as were the prophets of the Old Testament, to judge of their effusions by the rules of ordinary poetry, (as is done even by critics who profess to esteem them most highly, ) and to suppose that the expressive symbols with which they every where abound, are introduced like the artificial figures of uninspired authors, merely to elevate the subject in a general manner, but without any specific and appro- priated meaning : but to imagine that he who spake as never man spake*, all whose words are spirit and are life\, should not be above the tinsel arts of rhetoric, or should be capable of using a single expression without a specific meaning, and that a meaning worthy of a speaker who was the Truth Itself; is indeed to form derogatory notions of his sacred character, and of the natureof divine language : it is plucking down heavenly wisdom from above the stars, to seat her in the dust.
