Since the days of Origen, or at least since the nominal conyersion, of multitudes of the Platonic, and other philosopher. and Pagan priests; it has been the reigning custom to make the Bible a trxt b u'v. When the text is onr or twice teatl, the preacher proceeds to nis introduction, which resembles the exordium of a Pagan Oration; then comes his method or distribution, ia which I e cuts P. pieces the text; and r.Ut r having con sulere.l its metaphorical, literal, analogical, spiritual, and practical irnpoit, and having-cautioned his hearers on the great danrerof rcfi-ting in the literal meaniii. f the text, and of the great necessity ofi ...Miig iiirongri me leucr, w inch is sometimes railed dfrA,to the spirit ofthe text. which gtps life, ne proceet.K to the improvement of his subject, and hay in-.UI... cd the necessary inferences J.c concludes :d pv.h;!;c eihc't ition. b.

From the days of Origen, (in theseo '.u century,) to the present, it has been fashionable to spiritualize the scripunes.nnu to teacn men that they have a meaning besides what is exn ressed. Many, to this day, think the scriptures aye a double sense, what is said and what is m. ant.
