Excerpt from The Quotations of the New Testament From the Old: Considered in the Light of General Literature These laws are of two kinds first, those which be long to all literatures of all ages and nations, like that of truth, or that of beauty and Secondly, those which change with season and clime, the dictates of eva nescent or local taste and custom, like the absence Of rhyme from ancient poetry, the parallelism of Hebrew poetry, or the alliteration of English poetry.
