356; present work not needless-its dis-
tinctive character, 357; author's object
stated, 358; his view of the later pro-
phecies different from Dr. Henderson's,
259; his views stated the prophet
was the inspired exponent of the law,
360; corruption of the nation, and its
relation to neighbouring countries,
361; the true spirit of the Mosaical dis-
pensation sanctioned neither hatred of
the heathen nor intermixture with
them, 362; both forms of error grew
up and were denounced by the pro-
phets, 363; whether the later pro-
phecies have reference to the Christian
Church or to events before the Advent,

IS BIBLICAL CRITICISM UNFAVOURABLE
TO PIETY? 111-124; common views
among easy believers of the region com-
prised within the bounds of their faith,
111; views of the present, 112; views
of the Bible, 113; other spirits exer-
cised like their Lord, by temptations
in the wilderness, 114; nature of these
exercises, 115; the studies found ne-
cessary to independent inquiry, 116;
the original tongues being gained, the
field of Biblical criticism is entered
upon, ib.; the necessity of this study,
117; and what God has left necessary
is safe, 118; the study must go on,
though much has been done, 119;
may, like other useful pursuits, become
injurious if studied from improper mo-
tives, 120; if studied exclusively, 121;
mistakes possible, and dangerous, ib.;
but no evils necessarily follow from
these studies, 122; and there are some
positive advantages promotive of en-
lightened piety, and important to the
world, 123, 124.
