And we therefore lay it down as another principle to be sacredly maintained in Scriptural interpretations, that nothing should be elicited from the text but what is yielded by the fair and grammatical explanation of the language. The import of each word and phrase and passage, must be investigated in a manner perfectly accordant with the laws of language, and with the actual circumstances of the writers. Not what we may think they should have said, or might possibly wish they would have said, but simply what, as far as we are able to ascertain, they did say. -- Patrick Fairbairn, Opening Scripture, pg. 83-84
