That on three at least of these four occasions, viz. the 1st, 3d, and 4th, he accordingly did use his endeavours to confer with them, will be put out of dispute by direct evidence; and that, in the remaining one, namely that which in the order of time stands second,--successfully or not, his endeavours were directed to the same purpose,--will, it will be seen, be reasonably to be inferred from circumstantial evidence. In the character of an additional occasion of intercourse, between him and one of the Apostles, namely, Peter, the chief of them,--will be to be added, that which will be seen taking place at Antioch; immediately upon the back, and in consequence, of the third of these same visits of his to Jerusalem. As to the mode of his conversion as above stated,--the _time_, for him to have stated it to them, was manifestly that of the first of these four visits;--say his _reconciliation-visit_: and that, of that first visit, to see them, or at any rate the chief of them, namely, Peter, was the object,--is what, in his Epistle to the Galatians, we shall see him declaring in express terms. After all--that story of his, in which the supposed manner of his conversion is related, as above,--did he so much as venture to submit it to them? The more closely it is examined, the less probable surely will be seen to be--his having ventured, to submit any such narrative, to a scrutiny so jealous, as theirs, under these circumstances, could not fail to be. One of two things at any rate will, it is believed, be seen to a certainty: namely, Either no such story as that which we see, nor anything like it, was ever told to them by him; or, if yes, it obtained no credit at their hands. SECTION 3. IN PROOF OF THIS, SO MUCH OF THE ACTS HISTORY MUST HERE BE ANTICIPATED. For proof, of the disbelief, which his story will, it is believed, be found to have experienced, at the hands of those supremely competent judges,--the time is now come, for collecting together, and submitting in a confronted state to the reader, all the several particulars that have reached us, in relation to these four important visits.
