Excerpt from The Evidence and Authority of Divine Revelation, Vol. 1 of 2: Being a View of the Testimony of the Law and the Prophets to the Messiah, With the Subsequent Testimonies The first edition of the following work having been long ago exhausted, a second would have been sooner published, had not the author been prevented by other engagements from making those alterations and additions which seemed necessary to the completion of his original plan. The nature of that plan, and the manner of its execution, are explained in the following Intro duction. Several new Chapters are now added, and many sources of evidence more fully exa mined. Instead of being a Book merely supple mentary to those which have already occupied the same ground, the Author has all along aimed at an object, not in the contemplation of the great majority of those who have chiefly distinguished.
