CONCLUSION.
WHEN we find such men as those previously cited, and multitudes of others, including the genius and piety of all ages, exerting all the efforts of their loftiest talent to indite their glowing eulogiums on the psalms, and telling their own experience, and the experience of saints innumerable; nay, when we find Paul and Peter proving from the psalms that this is “very Christ;” when we find our Lord himself appealing to what is “written in the Book of Psalms concerning Him,” it is difficult to repress the strong language appropriate to the rebuke of some of the men of our day who can speak small about the psalms as not suited to them. Let them study, and pray, and condescend to learn; for they are not fit to criticise, and judge, and prescribe for mature knowledge, and ripe and experienced piety. Let them cease to disturb and agitate the Church, by attempting to do what, their very labours are demonstrating, all others before them have failed to accomplish.
