In that case, we could neither believe him to be the Christ, nor even a prophet of God, however nume- rous or astonishing his works ; because one main part of his pretensions having been found to be absolutely false, we could have little reliance upon his truth in the remainder. But there is no such contradiction to be found in the case of Christ. The only conclusion therefore to which the fact, if correct, of the prophecies relating to the Mes- siah being fulfilled only in an allegorical sense..., can lead, is this ; that the mind of the Holy Ghost, when speaking of the Messiah, was expressed, 188 Hulsean Lectures for 1820. under the Old Testament, only in an allegorical manner — a conclusion which may indeed render the interpretation of these prophecies less evident, but, when explained or asserted by a prophet of God, by no means the less just or sure.
