Differtation I..

ON THE NATURE OF THAT EVIDENCE BY WHICH THE GOSPEL IS SUPPORTED..

IT has been the fate of many

great and illuftrious characters, to be: mifreprefented; and to have different opinions formed of them by perfons of different parties and prejudices; but there never was a perfon on earth who has, for fo long a time been a fúbject of controverfy as JESUS CHRIST. The controversy has affumed various forms, and has been stimulated by various paffrons and interefts; but it has never been difcontinued, or, if filent awhile, it has broken out again from its re- ftraint.
