Professor Greenleaf entertained the opinion, that, in subjecting the testimony of the sacred writers to these tests, one of the strongest foundations of Christian faith could be laid, and one that would be eminently satisfactory to men who are trained in habits of severe logic by the actual character of their daily avocations. In this he was not Singular. Mr. Justice Story of the Supreme Court of the United States, and before him Mr. Chief Justice Parsons of Mas sachusetts, used to express themselves strongly in the same direction. Indeed, the veneration of judges and lawyers for the legal rules of evidence not seldom renders them skeptical of any facts that cannot be established according to those rules; and they sometimes apply them to subjects where they are really an obstruc tion rather than an aid In the establishment of truth.
