Excerpt from A Guide to the Reading and Study of the Holy Scriptures
The methods which those who read the scriptures prescribe to themselves, and the motives by which they are influenced, are equally various: hence, as they do not adopt the same measures, so they derive not from their labours the same advantages. All Read ing, however, respects either the letter or the spirit of the Inspired Writings. Sepa rate from the latter, the former is empty and inconsistent; but when both are united, the study of Divinity is rendered complete.
