They are thus overthrown by their own selves, while our
position will be on both sides made sure. Suppose it proved that
the passage refers to the Son, “of whom” will be found
applicable to the Son. Suppose on the other hand it be insisted
that the prophet’s words relate to God, then it will be granted
that “through whom” is properly used of God, and both
phrases have equal value, in that both are used with equal force of
God. Under either alternative both terms, being employed of one
and the same Person, will be shewn to be equivalent. But let us
revert to our subject.
