Excerpt from The Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms: Their Divine Inspiration, Asserted Upon the Authority of Our Lord, and Vindicated From Objections, With Animadversions in Disproof of the Testimony of Josephus in Reference to the Canon

From the earliest ages of the world down to the days of Malachi, and then, after an interval, from the days of our Lord to the death of the last of his apostles, there has been, according to the admitted facts of Bible history, a succession of men who have at least professed to have received from God instructions and revelations in reference to religious truth. To some extent this was the case even in the days of the patriarchs, indeed, there is reason to believe that it was by revelation to a succession of selected recipients, that religious truth was made known to men from the very beginning. The revelations given, or said to have been given, to these men - to the patriarchs, to Moses, to Samuel, and after them to a long series of prophets - we possess. Are they to be depended upon? Were they inspired?
