ALSO SOME OCCASIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE PRESENT CIVIL AND BY HENRY FRANCIS OFFLEY, LATE OF OXFORD. 8 Σήμερον εαν της φωνής αυτό ακέσητε, Μη σκληρυνητέ τας καρδίας ύμων, ώς εν τω παραπικρασμώς 9 Ου επείρασαν με οἱ πατέρες ύμων, Εδοκιμασαν με, και ίδον τα έργα με. 10 Τεσσαρακοντα έτη προσώχθισα τη γενεά εκείνη, Και είπον αει πλανώνται τη καρδια Αυτοί δε εκ εγνωσαν τας οδες με 11 Ως ώμοσα εν τη οργή με, Ει εισελεύσονται εις την καταπαυσιν με. Pfalm xcv. LONDON: PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR; AND SOLD BY HENRY 1795. INTRODUCTION TO THE READER. THOSE who are not able to believe and speak well of any book, ought, however, not to deny and blafpheme it. What they do not know and understand, they should leave to its own merits, as GAMALIEL faid, Acts v. 38, 39, "And now I fay unto you refrain from these men and let them alone, for if this council, or this work, be of men, it will come to nought; but if it be of GOD, ye cannot overthrow it, left haply ye be found even to fight against GOD," and the Author himself should be answerable for it.
