Excerpt from The Relation of Divine Providence to Physical Laws: A Discourse Delivered Before the Porter Rhetorical Society, of Andover Theological Seminary, August 1, 1854 Nay, further; the world of matter and the world of mind are not in a state of isolation. They do not present two distinct and parallel series of phenomena. On' the contrary, they come at innumerable points into the closest relationship, and are continually act ing and reacting upon one another; so that we can hardly hope to arrive at a true idea of the scheme or plan of either, by the study of that alone.

Excerpt from The Divine Authority of the Old and New Testament Asserted Pretenfion to this Charaéter. I would be one Of the lafl to charge any Man with a Want of Honefiy and Sincerity: but there are ma ny Things in his Book that look like a wilful Perverfion and Mifreprefentation of Faéts, as well as Arguments and fometimes fo circum fianced, that it is fcarce pofiible for the molt extenfive Charity to fuppofe that it'was owing to mere Ignorance. Perhaps the Author him felf would not be willing to accept of this A pology. I cannot help looking upon it as an Honour to Chrifiianity, that its Adveifaries find themfelves obliged to take fuch Methods as thefe, in order to carry on their Defigns a gainft it.
