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.
