Excerpt from Sacred Biography, or the History of the Patriarchs, Vol. 2 of 4: To Which Is Added, the History of Deborah, Ruth, and Hannah; Being a Course of Lectures Delivered at the Scots Church, London Wall

Our Lord, in his answer, points out directly the source of all error and infidelity, ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, and the power of God. Not knowing the scriptures, ye suppose a doctrine is not in them, because ye have not found it there: because ye have wilfully shut your own eyes, ye vainly 1magine there 18 no light 111 the sun and take upon you to af firm there is none. Not knowing the power of God, you call that impossible which you cannot do, deem that absurd which you do not comprehend, and pro nounce that false which you wish to be so. The whole force of the objection to the truth of the resurrection, goes upon the supposition, that the future world IS to be exactly constituted as the present, that the relations and distinctions which subsist among men upon earth, are to subsist in the kingdom of heaven. But the sop position is founded in ignorance and falsehood; and, the moment it is denied, the mighty argument buili' upon it falls to the ground. In the resurrection, says Christ, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as'the angels of God in heaven.
