VOLUME 3
Soon afterwards he says, “I am reading the Psalms just now, comparing the two versions, and reading Horne’s Commentary. What wonderful compositions! What a decisive proof of the Divine origin of the religion to which they belong! There is in the world nothing else like them—and that this proof should exist where there are so many others of the same kind, and of other kinds. If the Psalms, suppose, and some other parts of Scripture, belonged to different systems … as the 3rd chapter of St. Matthew; 5th, 6th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, of St. John; St. Paul’s Epistles; Isaiah, &c. … we might, were this internal evidence the only proof afforded, be divided and puzzled. But how wonderful, how unaccountable, except on the true hypothesis, that each should in itself be so excellent, and should belong to, and be connected with, the others, and have the same confessed source and origin!”
