Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Edward Irving, Vol. 2 of 5 Hese verses are to the narrative which follows, of pre cisely the same import as the date is to a letter or any official document, ascertaining the precise time, place, and cir cumstances, under which the wonderful events that follow began their course; and, therefore, instead of being slightly passed over as an uninteresting enumeration of names with which the mind refuses to be burdened, they should be used by'the expounder Of the record, for that very purpose for which they were set down by the writer, as affording a clue by which to ascertain the veracity of the narrator, and the certainty of the things narrated. Therefore, though it may not be so agreeable to many ears to discourse of historical fact and evidence, as of orthodoxy, doctrine, and religious experience, yet, seeing the thing must sometimes be done for the conviction of the gain sayer and the knowledge of all, I hesitate not to treat of that of which the evangelist has written of the circumstances of place and time; and the evidence thence to be derived of the character of the narrator and the things narrated.
