  WHILST the subject of Scriptural difficulties has been often admirably handled both generally and in detail, there is still one arising from the very form and structure of the Scriptures, on which sufficient attention has not perhaps been bestowed; although it is a source of sensible uneasiness to some believers, and secretly influences the practice of many more. The purpose of the following pages is to state and consider this difficulty; and further, to pursue into some of its more important particulars the view, which that inquiry suggests, of the value of unauthoritative tradition, not so much in the confirmation or interpretation of Christian doctrines, but as intended to be the ordinary introduction to them.
  ... If these few pages can in the slightest degree contribute to such valuable ends, and if they are capable also incidentally of supplying a ready answer to certain popular objections, either against the evidence of some important articles of faith, or even against revealed religion itself, they will have been without impropriety offered to the publick at large. To the candid consideration of the Established Clergy they are submitted in a more especial manner, but with peculiar deference; they are addressed however to every thoughtful believer in Christianity, and to those also who have not yet admitted the claims of Eevelation, but who are honestly intent upon the discovery of religious truth.

Bio/History: Cornelius Hedges was born on 28 Oct. 1831 in Westfield, Mass., the son of Dennis and Alvina Hedges. He attended Yale College, receiving an A.B. in 1853 and an A.M. in 1855. He also attended Harvard Law School and was admitted to the Massachusetts bar. He married Edna Smith in 1856 and the couple moved to Independence, Iowa, where Hedges practiced law and published the Independence Civilian. Hedges traveled to Virginia City, Montana Territory, in 1864 to placer mine. The following year he moved to Helena where he mined, practiced law, and was a public servant. In 1870 Hedges joined the Washburn Expedition which explored and publicized the Yellowstone area. Following the trip, it was Hedges who suggested the preservation of the area as a national park and he was active in this movement. In 1903 he was an honored guest at the cornerstone laying ceremony for the arch at the park entrance. Cornelius Hedges died in Helena on 29 Apr. 1907.

  The essence of civil liberty is self-government. This principle divides the race into slaves and freemen and according as it is recognized or not, a government is free or despotic.
  There are two vital principals [sic] in human government. The first is that there is a God, the sovereign of the universe, who has given law to man. The second is that man is God's deputy-governor over himself-Thus from the first was the government of our race disposed. So says revelation and all human history rightly interprets as a commentary upon it.

  "The view which the rising greatness of our country presents to my eyes, is greatly tarnished by the general prevalence of deism, which, with me, is but another name for vice and depravity. I am, however, much consoled by reflecting that the religion of Christ has, from its first appearance in the world been attacked in vain by all the wits, philosophers and wise ones, aided by every power of man, and its triumph has been complete. What is there in the wit or wisdom of the present deistical writers or professors that can compare them with Hume, Shaftsbury, Bolingbroke and others; and yet these have been confuted, and their fame is decaying, insomuch that at the puny efforts of Paine are thrown in to prop their tottering fabric, whose foundations cannot stand the test of time.
  "Among other strange things said of me, I hear it is said by the deists that I am one of their number; and, indeed, that some good people think I am no Christian. This thought gives me much more pain than the appellation of tory, because I think religion of infinitely higher importance than politics, and I find much cause to reproach myself that I have lived so long and have given no decided and public proofs of my being a Christian. But, indeed, my dear child, this is a character which I prize far above all this world has, or can boast. And among all the handsome things I hear said of you, what gives me the greatest pleasure is, to be told of your piety and steady virtue. Be assured there is not one tittle, as to disposition or character, in which my parental affection for you would suffer a wish for your changing, and it flatters my pride to have you spoken of as you are.
  "Perhaps Mr. Roane and Anne may have heard (he reports you mention. If it will be any object with them to see what I write you, show them this. But my wish is to pass the rest of my days, as much as may be, unobserved by the critics of the world, who would show but little sympathy for the deficiencies to which old age is liable. May God bless you, my dear Betsy, and your children."

  * In William Meade's "Old Churches, Ministers, and Families of Virginia," vol. ii, p. 12, the Rev. Mr. Dresser says that Patrick Henry had " a very great abhorrence of infidelity, and actually wrote a reply to 'Paine's Age of Reason,' but destroyed it before his death." "This," comments Edward Fontaine, "is certainly true. My father, Colonel Patrick H. Fontaine, was the oldest grandson of Patrick Henry. He was living with his grandfather when he wrote the reply to Paine mentioned by Mr. Dresser." But Patrick Henry, having read Bishop Watson's "Apology for the Bible," and deeming it a sufficient answer to Paine, decided not to publish his own manuscript."--p. 366 n.

    "Judge Winston tells us that Henry travelled about "on a circuit (Nelson and White, Judges) carrying Soame Jenyns, of which he gave the Judges a copy, desiring them at the same time not to take him for a travelling monk." This book, which bears the title, "Internal Evidences of Christianity," was printed and given free circulation in Virginia at Henry's own expense. Howe says that Henry did the same with Butler's "Analogy," adding: "Sherlock's Sermons, he affirmed, was the work which removed all his doubts of the truth of Christianity; a copy of which, until a short time since, was filled with marginal notes. He read it every Sunday evening to his family, after which they all joined in sacred music, while he accompanied them on the violin. He never quoted poetry. His quotations were from the Bible, and his illustrations from the Bible and ancient and modern history." *

    "But we have taken him away from his family and started him in his gig towards the court-houses; and we shall go on in that direction after inviting attention to an important fact: Henry was almost a born believer, as well as a born Whig. He got his religion and his politics out of nature in the first place, and in the next place out of that part of the Bible which teaches kindness to all men. Milton, Locke, Sidney, and other great forebears of freedom had intellectualized the grand political idea; but it came to Henry, as it did to other men of his day, by the working of his own mind."

The Laws of Ecclesiastical polity. G. Routledge, 1888. 288 pp. Laws for the Church are not made as they should be unless the makers follow such direction as they ought to be guided by. Wherein that Scripture standeth not the Church of God in any stead, or serveth nothing at all to direct, but may be let pass as needless to be consulted with, we judge it profane, impious, and irreligious to think. For although it were in vain to make laws which the Scripture hath already made, because what we are already there commanded to do on our parts there resteth nothing but only that it be executed; yet because both in that which we are commanded, it concerneth the duty of the Church by law to provide that the looseness and slackness of men may not cause the commandments of God to be unexecuted, and a number of things there are for which the Scripture hath not provided by any law, but left them unto the careful discretion of the Church; we are to search how the Church in these cases may be well directed to make that provision by laws which' is most convenient and fit. And what is so in these cases, partly Scripture and partly reason must teach to discern. Scripture comprehending examples and laws, laws some natural and some positive, examples neither are there for all cases which require laws to be made, and when they are they can but direct as precedents only. Natural laws direct in such sort that in all things we must for ever do according unto them; positive, so that against them in no case we may do anything, as long as the will of God is that they should remain in force. Howbeit, when Scripture doth yield us precedents, how far forth they are to be followed; when it giveth natural laws, what particular order is thereunto most agreeable; when positive, which way to make laws unrepugnant unto them; yea, though all these should want yet what kind of ordinances would be most for that good of the Church which is aimed at, all this must be by reason found out. And, therefore, "To refuse the conduct of the light of Nature," saith St. Augustine, "is not folly alone, but accompanied with impiety." The greatest amongst the school divines, studying how to set down by exact definition the nature of a human law (of which nature all the Church's constitutions are), found not which way better to do it than in these words, " Out of the precepts of the law of Nature, as out of certain common and undemonstrable principles, man's reason doth necessarily proceed unto certain more particular determinations, which particular determinations being found out according unto the reason of man, they have the names of human laws, so that such other conditions be therein kept as the making of laws doth require," that is, if they whose authority is thereunto required do establish and publish them as laws. And the truth is that all our controversy in this cause concerning the orders of the Church is, what particulars the Church may appoint. That which doth find them out is the force of man's reason. That which doth guide and direct his reason is, first, the general law of Nature, which law of Nature and the moral law of Scripture are in the substance of law all one. But because there are also in Scripture a number of laws particular and positive, which being in force may not by any law of man be violated, we are in making laws to have thereunto an especial eye. As for example, it might perhaps seem reasonable unto the Church of God, following the general laws concerning the nature of marriage, to ordain in particular that cousins-german shall not marry. Which law notwithstanding ought not to be received in the Church if there should be in the Scripture a law particular to the contrary, forbidding utterly the bonds of marriage to be so far forth abridged. The same Thomas, therefore, whose definition of human laws we mentioned before, doth add thereunto this caution concerning the rule and canon whereby to make them: "Human laws are measures in respect of men whose actions they must direct, howbeit such measures they are, as have also their higher rules to be measured by, which rules are two, the law of God and the law of Nature. So that laws human must be made according to the general laws of Nature, and without contradiction unto any positive law in Scripture, otherwise they are ill made. Unto laws thus made and received by a whole Church, they which live within the bosom of that Church must not think it a matter indifferent either to yield or not to yield obedience, Is it a small offence to despise the Church of God? "My son, keep thy father's commandment," saith Solomon, "and forget not thy mother's instruction, bind them both always about thine heart." It doth not stand with the duty which we owe to our heavenly Father, that to the ordinances of our Mother the Church we should show ourselves disobedient. Let us not say we keep the commandments of the one, when we break the law of the other, for unless we observe both we obey neither. And what doth let, but that we may observe both, when they are not the one to the other in any sort repugnant? For of such laws only we speak, as being made in form and manner already declared, can have in them no contradiction unto the laws of Almighty God. Yea, that which is more, the laws thus made God himself doth in such sort authorize, that to despise them is to despise in them Him. It is a loose and licentious opinion which the Anabaptists have embraced, holding that a Christian man's liberty is lost, and the soul which Christ hath redeemed unto Himself injuriously drawn into servitude under the yoke of human power, if any law be now imposed besides the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in obedience whereunto the Spirit of God, and not the constraint of men, is to lead us, according to that of the blessed Apostle, "Such as are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God," and not such as live in thraldom unto men.

  Their judgment is, therefore, that the Church of Christ should admit no law-makers but the Evangelists. The author of that which causeth another thing to be, is author of that thing also which thereby is caused. The light of natural understanding, wit, and reason, is from God; He it is which thereby doth illuminate every man entering into the world. If there proceed from us anything afterwards corrupt and naught, the mother thereof is our own darkness, neither doth it proceed from any such cause whereof God is the author. He is the author all that we think or do by virtue of that light which Himself hath given. And therefore the laws which the very heathens did gather to direct their actions by, so far forth as they proceeded from the light of Nature, God himself doth acknowledge to have proceeded even from Himself, and that He was the writer of them in the tables of their hearts. How much more, then, is He the author of those laws which have been made by His saints, endued further with the heavenly grace of His Spirit, and directed as much as might be with such instructions as His sacred word doth yield? Surely if we have unto those laws that dutiful regard which their dignity doth require, it will not greatly need that we should be exhorted to live in obedience unto them. If they have God himself for their author, contempt which is offered unto them cannot choose but redound unto Him.

  In the thirty sections of their pamphlet, they have produced a list of difficulties to be met with in reading the Old and New Testament. Had I been aware of their design, I could have enriched the collection with many more, at least as good, if not a little better. But they have compiled, I dare say, what they deemed the best, and, in their own opinion, presented us with the essence of infidelity in a thumb-phial, the very fumes of which, on drawing the cork, are to strike the bench of bishops dead at once.

  Let not the unlearned Christian be alarmed, as though some strange thing had happened to him, and modern philosophy had discovered arguments to demolish religion, never heard of before. The old ornaments of deism have been broken off upon this occasion, and cast into the fire, and there came out this calf. These same difficulties have been again and again urged and discussed in public; again and again weighed and considered by learned and sensible men, of the laity as well as the clergy, who have by no means been induced by them to renounce their faith.

  Indeed, why should they? For is any man surprised that difficulties should occur in the books of Scripture, those more particularly of the Old Testament? Let him reflect upon the variety of matter on which they treat; the distance of the times to which they refer; the wide difference of ancient manners and customs, from those of the age in which we live; the very imperfect knowledge we have of these, as well as of the language in which they are described; the conciseness of the narratives, sufficient for the purpose intended, but not for gratifying a restless curiosity; above all, the errors and defects of translations.

  Many and painful are the researches sometimes necessary to be made, for settling points of that kind. Pertness and ignorance may ask a question in three lines, which it will cost learning and ingenuity thirty pages to answer. When this is done, the same question shall be triumphantly asked again the next year, as if nothing had ever been written upon the subject. And as people in general, for one reason or another, like short objections better than long answers, in this mode of disputation (if it can be styled such) the odds must ever be against us; and we must be content with those for our friends who have honesty and erudition, candor and patience, to study both sides of the question. Be it so. -- Letter 8.

(TM): Thomas Hartwell Horne (20 October, 1780 - 27 January, 1862) was an English theologian and librarian. In 1796 he became a barrister's clerk, but the salary was insufficient, so he turned to writing to make more money. Throughout his life Horne wrote more than forty works focused on Christian apologetics, and he edited and compiled even more works on a great variance of topics, from topography to Sunday schools. In 1818, after what he indicated was much prayer, solitude, and labor late at night, he released An Introduction to the Critical Study and Knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. It was to be Horne?s chief work and quickly became a favorite textbook in English-speaking Protestant colleges and universities. Due to the work's caliber, he was admitted to orders without the usual preliminaries, with King's College conferring upon him the honorary degree of MA.

  Extract on the Preternatural Darkness at the Crucifixion:

  Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. ~ Matthew 27:45 ESV
  One single example will illustrate the last three observations. The preternatural darkness of three hours, which prevailed in the land of Judaea at the time of Christ's crucifixion, and which has been recorded by three of the evangelists, is unnoticed by any profane historian; from which circumstance Mr. Gibbon took occasion to insinuate that the evidence of the evangelists is not sufficient to establish the truth of facts, unless it is supported by the concurrent testimony of pagan contemporary writers. Speaking of that darkness, he expresses his surprise that this miraculous event 'passed without notice in an age of science and history. It happened,'?he adds, 'during the lifetime of Seneca and the elder Pliny, who must have experienced the immediate effects, or received the earliest intelligence of the prodigy. Each of these philosophers, in a laborious work, has recorded all the great phenomena of nature, earthquakes, meteors, comets, and eclipses, which his indefatigable industry could collect. Both the one and the other have omitted to mention the greatest phenomenon to which mortal eye has been witness since the creation of the globe. A distinct chapter of Pliny is devoted to eclipses of an extraordinary nature and unusual duration: but he contents himself with describing the singular defect of light which followed the murder of Caesar, when, during the greatest part of the year, the orb of the sun appeared pale and without splendour.' [Decline and Fall, vol. ii, pp. 379.] The sentences printed in italic are those in which the sceptical historian has had recourse to those misrepresentations which unhappily pervade too many of his splendid pages. On this passage we remark,

  FIRST, That the eclipse being confined to Judaea, its immediate effects could not necessarily have been experienced by Seneca or Pliny, neither of whom could have been on the spot in the reign of Tiberius, when the eclipse took place; nor can it be proved that they had immediate information from all parts of the globe as soon as any extraordinary phenomenon had taken place.

  SECONDLY, Neither Pliny nor Seneca have left any works that correspond to the historian?s pompous description. Seneca does not treat on eclipses at all, in the passage referred to [Nat. Quaest. lib. vi. c. 1. Op. tom. iv. pp. 309?312. edit. Bipont.]; he speaks indeed of earthquakes, but only in a very cursory manner, and does not instance more than four or five, because his object was evidently not to write a history of them, but to investigate their symptoms, causes, and prognostics. The same remark applies to Pliny with respect to earthquakes. They are mentioned only to introduce philosophical observations. The historian, therefore, has but very feeble props to support his assertion. We may reasonably imagine, that if Seneca and Pliny have recorded all the great phenomena of nature, they must of course have explored the Grecian and Roman histories, which were immediately open to their inquiries. Now, let us try an experiment as to what they have derived from those sources with respect to eclipses. Do they mention the total eclipse of the sun, when the celebrated plague happened at Athens, in the first year of the Peloponnesian war? Do they mention the solar eclipse on the day when the foundations of Rome were laid? Do they mention the eclipse foretold by Thales, by which a peace was effected between the Medes and the Lydians? It would be too tedious and useless to ask for many others, which might be mentioned without any fear of our questions being answered in the affirmative.

  THIRDLY, The distinct chapter of Pliny, in which, according to the historian?s lofty representation, we should expect to find the subject of eclipses exhausted by his full and elaborate detail, consists of only eighteen words, the purport of which is, that ?eclipses of the sun are sometimes of extraordinary duration; such as that which took place on the death of Caesar, and during the war with Antony, when the sun appeared pale for nearly a year.? [Fiunt prodigiosi, et longiores solis defectus: qualis occiso dictatore Caesare, et Antoniano bello, totius paene anni pallore continuo. Plin. Hist. Nat. lib. ii. c. 30. tom. i p. 148. edit. Bipont.]

  LASTLY, This miraculous preternatural darkness did not pass without notice. Omitting the supposed attestation of it by Phlegon (a pagan chronologist who wrote during the reign of the emperor Hadrian [See Lardner's Works, vol. vii. pp. 370-387, 8vo.; or vol. iv. pp. 58-67, 4to.], and whose testimony is cited by Tertullian, Origen, and Eusebius), and also the supposed mention of it by Thallus (who lived in the second century), which is cited by Julius Africanus [Ibid.], a writer of great eminence and probity, who lived at the beginning of the third century;?we may remark that there are two other testimonies not founded on the statements of Phlegon and Thallus, which unequivocally confirm the evangelical history of the darkness at the crucifixion, viz. those of Tertullian and Celsus. In his Apology for the Christians, which was addressed to their heathen adversaries, Tertullian expressly says, ?At the moment of Christ's death, the light departed from the sun, and the land was darkened at noon-day; WHICH WONDER IS RELATED IN YOUR OWN ANNALS, AND IS PRESERVED IN YOUR ARCHIVES TO THIS DAY.? [Tertullian, Apol. c. 21.] If the account of this extraordinary darkness had not been registered, Tertullian would have exposed both himself to the charge of asserting a falsehood (which charge was never brought against him), and also his religion to the ridicule of his enemies. It is further particularly worthy of remark, that the darkness and earthquake at the crucifixion are both explicitly recognised and mentioned as FACTS by that acute adversary of Christianity, Celsus; who would not have made such an admission, if he could have possibly denied them. [See Origen contr. Celsum, lib. ii. § 55. p. 94.] -- pp. 185-86.

  "To the library of every lover of the Holy Scriptures, who has the leisure to peruse it, this elaborate work will form a most valuable addition; but to the Biblical Student, and to young Ministers, it is at once indispensable and invaluable; no single work on any of the four main branches of Biblical Study which are here so copiously treated, having, we believe, ever issued from the press, which comprehends so much information in itself, or points out, by references so ample, where that information may be obtained without which the Scriptures can neither be fully understood, nor explained. Almost every author of note has been consulted by the industry of the Author, and the most important contributions of the learning, research, and observation of others, will be here found collected, and arranged with a sober and temperate judgment, and under the guidance of the light of evangelical truth.

The reverend gentleman was the author of one of the most celebrated works in Biblical literature, 'An Introduction to the Critical Study of the Holy Scriptures.' So struck was Dr. Howley, bishop of London, with this work that he offered ordination to Mr. Horne, who was at the time devoting himself generally to the pursuits of literature. He held for many years an important literary appointment in the British Museum. His ordination took place in 1819, and for a long time he did parochial duty in London, chiefly at St. James's Church, Westmorland street, St. Marylebone. In 1833, Dr. Howley who had at that time become Archbishop of Canterbury, presented him to his city rectory, which he held up to the time of his death, which occured on Monday.

  Avery Robert Dulles, A History of Apologetics, Ignatius Press, 2005: As the eighteenth century progress, French apologists, like their colleagues in England, showed an increasing tendency to shift their ground from philosophical reasoning to historical evidence. This development is already discernible in the work of the Oratorian Alexandre Claude Franois Houtteville (or Houteville; 1686-1742), who issued in 1722 The Christian Religion Proved by Facts. Book 1, the most original part of this work, demonstrates that the miraculous events narrated in the Gospels are worthy of acceptance according to the general laws of historical evidence. In the first place, he observes, since miracles are not self-contradictory, they are worthy of serious investigation (chapter 6). Further, the Gospel miracles are vouched for by contemporary eyewitnesses (chapter 7) who were sincere and truthful (chapter 8). The Gospel facts, moreover, were public and of general interest (chapter 9). They stand at the basis of certain later facts, such as the willingness of the early Christians to die for their faith (chapter 10). The miracles of Jesus were admitted by the Jews and pagans of the first Christian centuries, although it would have been to the interest of these adversaries to deny them (chapter 11). Finally, the miracle stories have been handed down without corruption (chapter 12). In Book 2 Houtteville sets forth the conventional arguments from Old Testament prophecies of Christ, and in Book 3 he replies to fourteen major objects raised by the deists to the veracity of the Gospels. At the end he appends a dissertation on the systems that the unbelievers propose as alternatives to Christianity.

  Houtteville's work is clear and well ordered. His efforts to apply exact historical method to the Gospels represented a real advance, but the undeveloped state of historical science in his day has, of course, made his work quite obsolete by modern standards.

  "As there is no public worship in this place & Congress has at present no Chaplain, I have been witness to no act of public devotion since I have been here. The second night after my arrival being Saturday night, in the Edge of the evening the Servant brought into the room & set on the Table two candles & two packs of Cards. Some of the company soon spread around the Table & went to playing for money. I left the room & was shewed to another. After which I sent for Mr Ellery & we spent the Evening by ourselves. In conversation I observed to the Company that in N. England the Table would have been furnished with a bible & Psalm book instead of two packs of Cards.

  "I was told the next day that they had played for ten to twenty guineas a game--and that one man had lost 200 guineas. Gentlemen here boast of such adventures. So widely different are the customs & manners of the people here from those of N. England.

  "The older I grow the more I am impressed with the persuasion that religion is for the good of Society. If in this World only it had a reward, that reward would be sufficient to induce a reasonable man to become seriously religious: and the advantages Government would receive from the prevalence of some religion among the people are sufficient, in my opinion to induce every patriot, or good politician to countenance & encourage it by precept & example.

• Science: Christian and Natural.
  "I take the position that science and faith are complementary views of the world; that science studies the world insofar as it behaves in regular ways readily investigated using the reductionist methods of the physical sciences, and that theology finds its place along with many other disciplines, in understanding the human, personal, purposeful, and spiritual aspects of the world, which are not describable in reductionist terms."
  "...the question arises, why did modern science grow up almost entirely in the West, where Christian thinking held sway? There were civilizations of comparable stability, prosperity, and in many cases technology, in China, Japan, and India. Why did they not develop science? It is acknowledged that arabic countries around the end of the first millenium were more advanced in mathematics, and their libraries kept safe eventually for Christendom much of the Greek wisdom of the ancients. Why did not their learning blossom into the science we now know? More particularly, if Andrew White's portrait of history, that the church dogmatically opposed all the 'dangerous innovations' of science, and thereby stunted scientific development for hundreds of years, why didn't science rapidly evolve in these other cultures?
  "A case that has been made cogently by Stanley Jaki, amongst others, is that far from being an atmosphere stifling to science, the Christian world view of the West was the fertile cultural and philosophical soil in which science grew and flourished. He argues that it was precisely the theology of Christianity which created that fertile intellectual environment. The teaching that the world is the free but contingent creation of a rational Creator, worthy of study on its own merits because it is 'good', and the belief that because our rationality is in the image of the creator, we are capable of understanding the creation: these are theological encouragements to the work of empirical science. Intermingled with the desire to benefit humankind for Christian charity's sake, and enabled by the printing press to record and communicate results for posterity, the work of science became a force that gathered momentum despite any of the strictures of a threatened religious hierarchy."
