Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review for the Year 1862, Vol. 34 It is important, however, in the application of this criterion, that a meaning be not attributed to these inspired authorities which their words do not properly contain. It is only when they design to give a real exposition of the prophecy, that we are authorized to infer its meaning from the use which they make of it. They sometimes employ the familiar words of the Old Testament in application to a subject of which they are treating, without designing to intimate that this was in the thoughts Of the writer, or is the proper sense of the passage in its original connection. Thus, when Paul (rom. X. 18) adopts the language Of Psalm xix. 4, their sound went into all the earth and their words unto the ends of the world, in describing the universality of the gospel Ofi'er, he is not to be understood as deciding that this is the subject of the Psalm. He merely declares that what David there says of the revelation of God by the material heavens, is true of the proclamation of the gos pel; both are addressed to all men without restriction. So when our Lord says (matt. Xiii. 14) that the prophecy of Esaias, Hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, (isa. Vi. Was fulfilled in his own generation, his meaning is that the words of the prophet have a fresh application to them, are as appropriate to them as to those of whom they were origi nally spoken.
