 | | The same hand was employed in the production of both religions, and by type and promise and prophecy the Old Dispensation points clearly to the New. |
 | | Besides maintaining those pure conceptions of Deity, the prophets from time to time, and with ever increasing distinctness until we come to the direct and personal testimony of the Baptist, foreshadowed a fuller and more universal revelation a time when, and a Man through Whom, God should bless all the nations of the earth. |
