Author Description

Excerpt from An Answer to a Printed Paper Entitled "Manifesto of the Christian Evidence Society" To Which Is Annexed, a Rejoinder to a Pamphlet by the Same Author, the Rev. Robert Taylor Entitled "Syntagma of the Evidences of the Christian Religion" This writer speaks, with the utmost confidence, of Acts and Edicts for the general alteration or total renovation of these Scriptures. It is scarcely possible to imagine a grosser uh truth than this assertion. Nothing of the kind is to be found in history. With respect to Constantine and Theodosius, the writer of the Manifesto has dishonourably omitted any mention of the year when it is pretended that such an Act occurred, or of the book in which any record of it may be found. Let him point them out, and we will impartially examine them. In the mean time, if the reader chooses to refer to the Life of Con stantine by his intimate friend Eusebius, (book iv. Chap. 36, he will find some clear and positive evidence upon the care and diligence which were exercised in making copies of the Scrip tures. If any kind of alterations had been made, or even thought of, by the Emperor or the persons in civil or eccle siastical authority, some allusion to them could hardly have failed to occur in that passage.
