with divers other remarkable passages spoken by the actors , all against them . And I cannot imagine how this came into their heads , unless it be to tell the world to their teeth , that . they know what folks talk and * think of

July 27 th 9 1816 . Observations on Matt . xi . 27 . WHERE Mystery exists , there is no Revelation : and , again , in points which are revealed there can be no mystery . If the sun burst on us in his splendour , darkness is
immediately put to flight . To speak of the mysteries of Revelation , is at once to employ phraseology as incorrect as can well be conceived , and to arraign the Divine wisdom , goodness and fidelity in the doctrine of the Gospel . It is to say that God , . haviag professed to give

Sd it may be thought , when torn away from it ' s context , when interpreted by readers whose minds have received a bias from human creeds : so it will not be considered after it has been thoroug hly
examined . a As error is best confuted by the establishment of truth , I begin with endeavouring to ascertain theju 3 t sen . se of oar Lord ' s declaration , "AH things are delivered unto me of my Father : and no man knoweth the Son but tw Father ; neither knoweth any man tne Father , save the Son , and he to whomsoever the Son will rev-eal him .
