Excerpt from The Minor Prophets: With a Commentary Explanatory and Practical and Introductions to the Several Books
To this end, it is our purpose to use those more thoughtful writers Of all times, who have professedly, or, as far as we know, incidentally developed the meaning of portions or texts of the sacred volume, men who understood Holy Scripture through that same Spirit by Whom it was written, to whom prayer, meditation, and a sanctified life laid Open its meaning. For He Who first gave to man the words of eternal life still hides their meaning from those who are wise and prudent in their own eyes, and giveth wisdom to the simple. Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. The reading Of the Scriptures is the Opening of Heaven.
