[433] 'Essayists and Reviewers' would reply, that in the first instance, the supposed inference has no connexion with the premisses:—that in the second, (1) it has to be proved that the person intended in Psalm cx. is Christ; and (2) it does not follow, because David calls him "lord," that the person so spoken of is not his "son:"—that in the third instance, 'gods' is used in Psalm lxxxii. of earthly rulers; whereas, when our Saviour called Himself "the Son of God," He claimed to be "of one substance with the Father,—God of God."

SERMON V.[436]
INTERPRETATION OF HOLY SCRIPTURE.—INSPIRED INTERPRETATION.—THE BIBLE IS NOT TO BE INTERPRETED LIKE ANY OTHER BOOK.—GOD, (NOT MAN,) THE REAL AUTHOR OF THE BIBLE.
St. Matthew iv. 4.
It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
