Chapter of Genesis_. It is a great mistake, (though one of the commonest of all,) for a man to imagine that he knows the beginning of the Bible pretty well. I say it advisedly, that it would be easy to write down twelve interesting questions on that first chapter, of which none of the younger men present would be able to answer three,--and yet, they should all be questions of such a sort that a labouring man"s child with an open Bible would be able infallibly to answer them every one.
Chapter 18
Chapter of Genesis,--_hath_ spoken for three and thirty hundred years,--as unto children: but there is no risk therefore that in what He saith, He either hath deceived, or will deceive mankind.

Chapter 21
Chapter of Genesis; which is to deny the Inspiration of all the rest; and therefore of the whole Bible;--and thus to rob Life"s weary pilgrim of that rod and staff concerning which he has many a time exclaimed,--"they _comfort_ me!":--whenever, as now, such things are spoken and printed,--not in a corner, and by insignificant persons, and in ambiguous language,--but in plain English, by clergymen and scholars in authority, openly in the face of G.o.d"S sun;--then it is high time, even for the humblest and least among you,--if no man of mark will speak up, and speak out, for G.o.d"S Truth,--to deliver a plain message with that freedom which Englishmen hold to be a part of their birthright. It should breed no offence, I say, if the most unworthy of G.o.d"S servants, here, before you all,--before these younger men especially, who have been drawn hither by the fame of your piety and your learning,--and who have been entrusted to your guardianship through the precious years of early manhood, with a well-grounded confidence that you would give them to eat not only of the Tree of Knowledge, but also largely of the fruit of the Tree of Life:--in this Holy House too where he received his commission[382], and vowed before G.o.d and Man, that he would "be ready," (the LORD being his helper,) "with all faithful diligence to drive away all erroneous and strange doctrines contrary to G.o.d"s Word:"--before _such_ an audience, and in such a place, it must and _shall_ be lawful for me solemnly to denounce as false and deadly,--full of nothing but pernicious consequence,--that system of practical Infidelity which enjoys such unhappy popularity at this hour; which, under the mask of Science, and under the specious name of Progress, is spreading like a fatal contagion through the length and breadth of the land; and which, if suffered to go unchastised and unchecked, will end by shaking both the Altar and the Throne!.... Look well to it, Sirs, if you care for the safety of the Ark of G.o.d. For my part,--like one of old time whose words I am not worthy to take upon my lips,--"I cannot hold my peace: because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war[383]!"
