Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remains of Alexander Knox, Esq., Vol. 2 of 2 Our Saviour explains, elsewhere, in what sense he uses the metaphor of salt. "Salt is good," says he; "but if it has lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill." These words imply, that salt was some times, used simply by itself, for manure, and some times, as an ingredient, with other substances. "It is neither fit for the land," implies the former use of it; "nor yet for the dunghill," the latter: for to say, it was not fit for the land, was equivalent to saying it was not proper to be used by itself for manure; to say, it was not fit for the dunghill, as clearly meant, that it was useless, even as a co-ingredient. Thus, then, on our Lord's own authority, we must conceive his words, "Ye are the salt of the earth," to mean, that those of whom he spoke were to act upon mankind, as a powerful manure acts upon the arable glebe; that is, that, through their influence, the human soil, which had hitherto been sterile of all virtue, should produce the fruits of evangelic righteousness;and thereby serve the wise and benevolent purpose of its divine creator. But it is remarkable, that our Lord represents the agents of his great design, by another no less significant emblem, - "Ye," says he, are the light of the world."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remains of Alexander Knox, Esq., Vol. 3 He would have placed each object on its proper elevation, prominently in one, and the best, point of view. But an Editor has no such power; and, by consequence, he is reduced to distressing alternatives of choice. Either he must sacrifice matter which he knows to be important; or he must give a portion of it mutilated, and separate from its connexion; or he must fill up a vacancy, dishonestly and insufficiently, in his own weaker and less expressive words. I have no escape from this difficulty, but by publishing whatever has been written, at the risk of occasion ally wearying the reader by the recurrence of the same, or very similar sentiments and expressions, in support of similar arguments and views. But this I am willing to risk: the class of readers whom principally these writings will attract, have better objects in view than the excitements of fancy, and the gratifications of taste. Truth is their aim - truth of the highest order, and for the most important of ends: they seek after the more perfect understanding of that revelation which the word of God contains; but which, for purposes as benevolent as wise, the Spirit of God sees fit to shroud for a time; and which, when he lifts the veil, he unfolds in gradually increasing clearness. It is thus that we must be content to penetrate into the recesses of truths which are infinite in their nature, their relations, and their extent. Nor, in this, are we laboriously toiling to no purpose, nor in a way unmarked by footsteps: gradual ascent and frequent reiteration are the very characteristics even of the Divine prophetic teaching. The Spirit of God inculcates his lessons "precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line." I fear not the blame of repetition from those who have placed the one great object of religious truth before them, and who think nothing tedious that tends to bring them more perfectly to the knowledge of that wisdom which alone makes truly wise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remains of Alexander Knox, Esq., Vol. 1 of 2 "I meet with much fewer than I could wish, who search the Scriptures for these things, - such as unheeded prophecies, overlooked mysteries, and strange harmonies; - which being clearly and judiciously proposed, may make that book appear worthy of the high extraction it challenges, and, consequently, of the veneration of considering men; and who are solicitous to discern and make out, in the way of governing and of saving men revealed by God, so excellent an economy, and such deep contrivances, and wise dispensations, as may bring credit to religion; not so much as it is Roman, or Protestant, or Socinian, but as it is Christian." Boyle: Excellency of Theology. "I am confident that the New Testament, rightly understood, would harmonize all dissonances, and bring the Christian church, not only 'with one heart, ' but 'with one mouth, ' to glorify God: And, the more I read and endeavour to study it in its own incomparable language, the more I am satisfied that there is an organic scheme of truth running through every part of it, which it will be yet granted to faithful Christians to enter into and become possessed of, and thereby to attain, not only 'the unity of the faith, ' but also the unity 'of the knowledge' of the Son of God." - Unpublished Letter of Mr. Knox.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remains of Alexander Knox, Esq., Vol. 4 I received yours a day or two ago, at my return from the north of Scotland. I judge your disorder to be but partly natural; and partly divine: the gift of God, perhaps, by the ministry of angels, to balance the natural petulance of youth; to save you from foolish desires; and to keep you steady in the pursuit of that better part which shall never be taken from you. Whether you have more or less sorrow, it matters notz you want only more faith. This is the one point. Dare to believe; on Christ lay hold; see all your sins on Jesus laid, and by His stripes you are healed. Very probably, if I live, I shall be detained in London great part of next summer.
