SECTION I.--Taylor's dishonesty in referring to the
   works of Herbert Marsh, in support of his allegation that
   the manuscript from which the received text was taken was
   stolen from the librarian. Explanation of the story of the
   sale of the manuscript to a skyrocket maker. Taylor's falsehood
   in his pretended reference to Bishop Marsh, in support
   of his allegation that for the principal passage in the book of
   Revelation there was no original Greek. Notice of Mr.
   Taylor's charge that the tendency of the New Testament is
   immoral and wicked. J. J. Rousseau's testimony to the
   morality of the Gospel. Exposure of Mr. Taylor's dishonesty
   in quoting from Mosheim in support of his allegation
   that ecclesiastical historians admit their inability to show
   when or by whom the New Testament Scriptures were
   written. Refutation of his allegation. The Apocryphal
   books collected and published by Jeremiah Jones. Refutation
   of Mr. Taylor's assertion what he terms the true and
   genuine gospel. Refutation of Mr. Taylor's objection on
   the ground of modernisms contained in some passages of
   the New Testament, and the ignorance of the four evangelists
   of the geography and statistics of Judea. The
   summing up of the argument on the genuineness of the
   New Testament Scriptures                                          107

   CHAPTER III

   CREDIBILITY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES.--The number
   of the witnesses who testify to the facts detailed in the
   New Testament. How the credibility of a historical book
   is to be ascertained. The rule as applied to Christian
   writings. Their genuineness proves their credibility. The
   writers of the New Testament could not have falsified the
   facts relative to Jesus Christ. The objection on the ground
   that the Jews rejected the claims of Jesus Christ. Its confutation.
   The conduct of the Jewish nation in rejecting
   Christ accounted for. The conversion of many of the
   Gentiles proves the credibility of the book. The character,
   circumstances, and conduct of the men who testify of
   Jesus prove their credibility. Difficulty to be surmounted
   by those who maintain that the apostles and evangelists
   were impostors. Summing up of the argument on the
   credibility of the witnesses                                      125
