Excerpt from Synoptica Hebraea, Vol. 1 of 3: Anglo-Hebrew Bible Expositor, a Manual for Self-Instruction, for the Use of Bible-Classes, Students, and Young Men's Christian Associations in Three Parts It is our glory that the Bible, and the Bible only, is the religion Of Protestants but is it not virtually giving up our religion, indolently to overlook the complicated evidence contained in the Bible, and preferring as its interpreter the fabulous traditions and forced constructions Of those who were reproved by our Lord for making the word of God Of none effect through your traditions rl - Mark vii. 1 3. By adhering to them, we have translations misconstrued, inconsistent, or false, even in the descriptions Of visible things. Hence the indifference Of many to the Bible, and the ridicule cast on it by the licentious and profane. There are no innate ideas; all ideas come by means Of our senses; neither can there be any words for spiritual uncreated things, but what take their signification from material Obj ects therefore, all true divinity must be comparative, or hieroglyphical, as is the physico-theology Of the Hebrew Scriptures. There, a verb active is radical, and applied to the greatest operations in nature, and also it is carried downward to express lesser actions Of the same kind.
