Note 147 — SERMON VIII. PREJUDICES AGAINST THE DOCTRINE OF ANTICHRIST. 1 Ep. John ii. 18.
Reading edition
“God gave this, and the prophecies of the Old Testament, not to gratify men’s curiosities by enabling them to foreknow things; but that, after they were fulfilled, they might be interpreted by the event; and his own providence, not the interpreter’s, be then manifested thereby to the world.” Sir I. Newton, p. 251.
