the meaning of others may iae found in other prophe-
cies, and where these fail recourse must be had to
profane authors. Nor is there more danger in
seeking the meaning of a symbol in such works
than in ascertaining the sense of any word in the New
Testament by comparing the best Greek writers with
each other*. By following this method it can hardly
be doubted that the true and genuine signification of
every one of the symbols they employ may be satis-
factorily ascertained. It may not be in the power of
any single individual to accomplish this desirable ob-
ject. Where he cannot, by his industry, discover the
,meaning of any particular hieroglyphic, instead of
p shewing himself ingenious let him be ingenuous and
confess his want of success, and we may how that
others, ivom soutles which he may not have had an
'opportunity of con•iilting. will soon supply the defi-
ciency.
