1948. The Hedge of Thorns and the Plain Way a book which I do not hesitate to call “the holy of holies” —the innermost sanctuary of divine love. Concerning that deeply-mystical, mysterious, and rapturous canticle, it would be impossible to speak too highly: it is, indeed, the Song of songs—a song, however, which none can sing but such as are made songsters by God himself, by partaking of the inspiration, not of the fount which gushed from Mount Parnassus, but of that fount of every blessing which flows from the mount of everlasting love. It is certainly remarkable that, hard by such a deeply-spiritual Book, there should be placed the Book of Proverbs, which mainly consists of instructions for this life. Doubtless there is a meaning in that arrangement. The Lord would not have the highest spirituality divorced from common-sense. God has made us body and soul, and he would have us serve him with both. There is a part of us that is material, and there is a part that is spiritual; and both need guidance such as the Holy Spirit affords us in the inspired Book. The Lord Jesus Christ has redeemed us, not as to our soul alone, nor our spirit alone, but as to our body also; and he would have us recognize this fact.

1956. On the Cross after Death it was marvellously complete. Observe that in these transactions a seal was set upon that part of Scripture which has been most exposed to sceptical derision: fur the seal was set first of all upon the types. Irreverent readers of Scripture have refused to accept the types: they say, “How do you know that the Passover was a type of Christ?” In other cases, more serious persons object to detailed interpretations, and decline to see a meaning in the smaller particulars. Such persons would not attach spiritual importance to the law, “Not a bone of it shall be broken”; but would dismiss it as a petty regulation of an obsolete religious rite. But observe, beloved, the Holy Spirit does nothing of the kind; for he fixes upon a minor particular of the type, and declares that this must be fulfilled. Moreover, the providence of God intervenes, so that it shall be carried out. Wherefore, be not scared away from the study of the types by the ridicule of the worldly-wise. There is a general timidity coming over the minds of many about Holy Scripture, a timidity to which, thank God, I am an utter stranger. It would be a happy circumstance if the childlike reverence of the early fathers could be restored to the church, and the present irreverent criticism could be repented of and cast away. We may delight ourselves in the types as in a very Paradise of revelation. Here we see our best Beloved’s beauties mirrored in ten thousand delightful ways. There is a world of holy teaching in the books of the Old Testament, and in their types and symbols. To give up this patrimony of the saints, and to accept criticism instead of it, would be like selling one’s birthright for a mess of pottage. I see in our Lord’s unbroken bones a setting of the seal of God upon the types of Scripture.
