Excerpt from A Discourse on the Life and Character of the Reverend John Thornton Kirkland, D. D. LL. D., Formerly Pastor of the Church on Church Green, Boston, and Late President of Harvard University: Delivered in the Church on Church Green, May 3, 1840 The Gospel, in order to be thoroughly understood in all its parts and relations, requires to be studied. Its evidences and its doctrines demand and deserve a minute. And patient investigation. They are capable of tasking the profoundest intellects; and such men as Grotius, Newton, and Locke, had not the vanity to imagine that by more intuition they could grasp divine truth in all its vast extent.
