[356] οὐ γὰρ ὑμεῖς ἐστε οἱ λαλοῦντες, ἀλλὰ τὸ Πνεῦμα τοῦ Πατρὸς ὑμῶν τὸ λαλοῦν ἐν ὑμῖν.--St. Matth. x. 20. [357] ἐπεὶ δοκιμὴν ζητεῖτε τοῦ ἐν ἐμοὶ λαλοῦντος Χριστοῦ.--2 Cor. xiii. 3. [358] Rev. B. Jowett, in _E. and R._,--p. 345. Yet see Acts iii. 18, 21. [359] Dr. Temple, in _Essays and Reviews_, p. 25. [360] _Contra Marcion_, sect. I. p. 9. [361] See the first foot-note, p. 53. [Our 330] [362] St. John xix. 14. [363] St. Mark xv. 25. [364] The passage may be seen in John Bois' _Vet. Interpretis cum Bezâ aliisque recentioribus collatio_, (1655,) p. 333. [365] See a Dissertation by Dr. Townson at the end of his admirable book on the Gospels. [366] Viz. St. John i. 39: iv. 6, 52: xix. 14. [367] And yet, we hear it asserted that we cannot "suppose the Spirit of absolute Truth" "to suggest accounts _only to be reconciled in the way of hypothesis and conjecture_."--_E. and R._, p. 179. [368] E.g. Gen. xxiv. 2-8, compared with ver. 37-41; and again, ver. 12-14, compared with ver. 42-44. Again, Gen. xlii. 10-13, compared with ver. 31, 32: and again, ver. 14-16, compared with ver. 33, 34. Again, Gen. xlii. 36-8, compared with xliv. 27-29, &c., &c., &c. [369] Instances of this will be very familiar to every attentive student of the Gospels. Thus St. Matth. xxvi. 68 implies acquaintance with a minute circumstance which is stated in St. Luke xxii. 64:--St. Matth. x. 13 _implies_ what is _expressed_ in St. Luke x. 5, &c., &c., &c. [370] St. Matth. xxvii. 9. [371] E.g. St. Jude ver. 14, 15. [372] Is. lii. 7, and Nahum i. 15.--Is. ii. 2, 3, 4, and Micah iv. 1, 2, 3.--Micah iv. 6, and Zeph. iii. 19.--Is. xi. 9, and Hab. ii. 14.--Micah iii. 12, and Jer. xxvi. 18, &c., &c. [373] E.g. Jer. xxiii. 5 and Zech. vi. 13. [374] See Appendix (C). [375] See Appendix (D). [376] See Appendix (E). [377] The Rev. H. Alford, Dean of Canterbury. [378] Ezek. iii. 2, 3. [379] Hooker, _Serm._ v. § 4. (_Works_, vol. iii. p. 663.) [380] St. Matth. v. 5. [381] Professor Kingsley's Sermon,--"_Why should we pray for fair Weather?_" [382] See at the foot of p. 53, note (a). [Our 330] [383] Jer. iv. 19. [384] The complaint is a very old one. See Pearson's _Minor Works_, vol. i. pp. 429-30. [385] It becomes necessary to explain, that on the Sunday after the delivery of the foregoing Sermon, a Sermon was preached _directly contravening its teaching_. Next week, it became the present writer's duty to address the same auditory,--which will explain as much of what follows in the present Sermon, (including something at p. 79,) as may seem to require explanation. It was impossible to proceed with the argument, until what had been advanced of a directly opposite tendency had been thus disposed of. [386] St. Luke xviii. 8.
