2. A false and evil Speech is proposed, when the Devil and wicked Men are introduced as speaking; Psal. 3.2. Many there be which say of my Soul, There is no help for him in his God. Psal, 12.4. Who have said, With our Tongue will we prevail; our Lips are our own; Who is Lord over us? Isa. 14.13. For thou hast said in thy Heart, I will ascend into Heaven; I will exalt my Throne above the Stars of God, &c. Mat. 23.16. Woe unto you ye blind Guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the Temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the Gold of the Temple, he is a Debtor, &c. Of this kind of Speech we will give some useful Observations.

1. An Historical Narration, although most true, yet all things therein said, are not believed to Observ. 1 be true.— For when a Canonical Writer treats of a thing, and speaks of what is falsely or foolishly done or said by another, he does not approve of it, but only relates it: The things in Scripture are of two sorts,— some are [Greek or Hebrew], by way of narrative, or recital; and some [Greek or Hebrew], by way of Assertion, and Approbation; things related of the latter kind are always true; but not of the former. Here likewise we must distinguish between the History it self, and the Speech introduced by him that speaks; the first is always true, the latter not, &c.
