John Brown

Thus you see that under God I owe all to Dr. Cook.

There lies before me, as I write, the massive volume of The Self-Interpreting Bible, with explanatory contents, parallel scriptures, large notes, and practical observations by John Brown, Minister of the Gospel at Haddington, printed in 1778 and bought by C. Simeon, King's College, Cambridge, March 24, 1785.

This Bible was his lifelong companion and is inscribed with many notes from his pen.

One of these is appended to Deuteronomy 16, 3, That thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.

The young men bowed with perfect willingness to me and suffered me to draw a line around them, beyond which they were not to move.

They drew back and committed everything to their seniors, having indeed professed a willingness to do so from the beginning, but manifestly determined to have more hand in it than would perfectly consist with academic discipline.

When their readiness to recede was known, instantly Dr. Jowett, Mr. Farrish, Mr. John Brown of Trinity, and myself stood forward.

Mr. F. went to get the sanction of the Vice-Chancellor, who, though he could not say he approved of the measure, gave his consent that a meeting should be called of the University, town, and county for the purpose of establishing a society." The troubles were not at an end, however.

You have come to need milk and not solid food.

And John Brown, he wrote a wonderful commentary on the book of Hebrews.

And he makes a comment.

I will read it to you.
