passages mentioned, presuppose intention and design in the history and the form of expression; which distinguishes them from others in which we can hardly see anything but the transference of Old Testament language to a new subject; of which no doubt Scripture presents many examples (see 1 Cor. i. 31; ii. 9. Rom. xv. 3; x. 6-8. 1 Pet. ii. 10). To these latter Paley's remark may be applied, "They quoted passages of their Scriptures which suited, and fell in with, the occasion before them, without always undertaking to assert that the occasion was in the view of the author of the words." The reader who wishes to pursue the subject farther is referred to Bishop Marsh, Lectures, &c. (for the most restricted view of types), and to Conybeare, Bamp. Lect., and Dr. Hawkins, Sermons on Scriptural Types, &c. (for a more liberal one). It may be added that the UNBELIEVER, who does not admit the inspiration of Scripture, has no right to disparage the testimony of the New Testament writers considered merely as trustworthy authorities, because he thinks it may be proved they made mistakes in the interpretation of their sacred books, or even in some matters of fact-unless he is prepared to apply the same rule to all profane history.
