YESTERDAY, and to day, are used to denote, one of them all the time past, even at a distance, and the other the present Time, but of a larger Extent than the Day on which one speaks: If the ox was wont to push with his horn in time past; the Hebrew Exod. xxi. 29.says, yesterday. And it came to pass, when all that knew him before time saw; Heb. Yesterday; whereas thou camest but yesterday, 2 Sam. xv. 20. Heb. xiii. 8. Job viii. 9.or lately. Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. His Doctrine admits of no Variation, his Truths are invariable. With him there are neither Yesterday, nor to -morrow, but all is to-day. Job says, We are but of Yesterday, and know nothing; because our Days upon Earth are a Shadow.
