Preface to Professor Franck’s ‘Christ the Sum and Substance of Holy Scripture,’ p. xvii. ‘We are to pursue our principal study at the feet of Jesus Christ. The Son of God declared to the world what he had received from his Father; and his Ministers are to teach the faithful what they have first learned from the Son of God. The Apostle professes himself to “know nothing, but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” And, indeed, he who knows this truth well, knows all others; he who studies with a ‘crucified spirit’ arrives at this knowledge in a degree proportionate to his own needs and those of the church. Pastoral Instructions to his Clergy, by Anthony Godeau, Bishop of Grasse and Vence, translated from the French, 1703.
