[147] Nor is this a mere slip of Mr. Jowett's pen. At p. 372, he states that "a majority of the Clergy throughout the world,"--(with whom he associates the "instincts of many laymen, perhaps also individual interest,")--are in favour of "_withholding the Truth_." But, he adds, (with the indignant emphasis of Virtue when she is reproaching Vice,)--"a higher expediency pleads that 'honesty is the best policy,' and that truth alone 'makes free!'"--How would such insolence be treated in the common intercourse of daily life?--(I will not pause to remark on Mr. Jowett's wanton abuse of the Divine saying recorded in St. John viii. 32,--repeated at p. 351.) [148] I suppose that there may have been many inspired Psalmists; and that perhaps the book of Judges was not all by one hand. With reference to the two books of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles, see 1 Chron. xxix. 29, 30. 2 Chron. ix. 29: xi. 2: xii. 15, 5, 7: xiii. 22. [149] By the Jews themselves they were reckoned as 22. [150] "It is remarkable that the word Γραφή, which means simply _Writing_, is reserved and appropriated in the New Testament (where it occurs fifty times) to the _Sacred_ writings, i.e. to the _Holy Scriptures_; and marks the separation of the _Scriptures_ from all "common books," indeed from _all other writings_ in the world."--Wordsworth 'On Inspiration,'--p. 85.

(iii) _Allusive references_.--(This would involve a prolonged reference to the Hebrew Scriptures, which would be even out of place here.) [154] See pp. 234-5. [155] Rev.
