Critical Readings Old Testament here, a worth of his tory applied to principle @, and it first a recovery of cer tain military secrets pastoral and a reconstruct of an old Chaldean Genealogy now secreted in certain Old Testament texts and a very old notation of number ; second, a recovery of ejaculate speech before "and" of the Septugint, and a coercive distinction of all syllables vowels and consonants into a begin and ,end of them as two or three factors ; and third, a division of this text into allegations interruptly patchy, and this critic into comparisons cumulate or dissolv ing. Inflation of text here (once a war policy) now a greater stumbling block to trust of these old' Scriptures than all its enemies Julian up. Goal of this critic, a reduction of the Pentateuch and more to a real ancient life and nudity coarsely pastoral, and a lift of Christianity to a gospel foun dation clear of Roman corruption, and a transcendant phe nomena and notions now greatly different to its time.

"For there are three philosophical sects among the Jews : The followers of the first of which are the Pharisees, of the second the, Sadducees, and the third sect, which pre tends to a severer discipline, are called Essens. These last are Jews by birth, and seem to have a greater affection for one another than the other sects have. These Essens reject pleasures as an evil, but esteem continence, and the conquest over our passions to be virtue. They neglect wedlock, but choose out other person's children while they are pliable and fit for learning, and esteem them to' be of their kindred, and form them according to their own manners. They do not absolutely deny the fitness of- marriage, and the succession of mankind thereby continued ; but they guard against the lascivious behavior of women, and are persuaded that none of them preserve their fidelity to one man. 3. These men are despisers of riches, and so very com municative as raises our admiration. Nor is there any one to be found among them who hath more than another ; for it is a law among them, that those who come to them must let what they have be common to the whole order, insomuch that among them all there is no appearance of poverty, or excess of riches, but every one's possessions are intermingled with ever}' other's possessions, and so there is, as it were, one patrimony among all the brethren.

They have no- one certain city, but many of them dwell in every city ; and if any of their sect comes from other places, what they have lies open for them, just as if it were their own, and they go into such as they never knew before, as if they had been ever so long acquainted with them. For which reason they carry nothing at all with them when they travel into remote parts, though still they take their weapons with them, for fear of thieves. Accordingly, there is, in every city where they live, one appointed particularly to take care of strangers, and to provide garments and other necessaries for them. ,But the habit and management of their bodies is such as children use who are in fear of their masters. Nor do they allow of the change of garments or of shoes, till they first be entirely torn to pieces, or worn out by time. Nor do they either buy or sell any thing to one another, but every one of them gives what he hath to him that wanteth it, and receives from him again in lieu of it what may be convenient for himself; and although there may be no requital made, they are fully allowed to take what they want of whomsoever they please" — Math ch 10 v 11, ch 12 v 46, 50, ch 23 v 9.

See this in our old remem brances of even sixty years ago (changes rapid now) that the young generation are now lost out to in old homemade things (few) now legion of machinery — new devices now well into a million. For value of context here to know-, read one of these comments isolated awhile, then read the text to it first, then comments and references second — this study, but a psychology of know by mental insight itself thus guided, and it not a trust of say-so interested of natural comprehension general. Diligence here, its own rewarder — * R 36. Math Ch 16 [Put % at v 10] % See v 9, 10 here an interpolation of the same author as the miracle of five loaves ; and v 13-20, a plain tamper of a tyrannical egotistical and v 19 Rome — ch 18 v 18 ch 3 % &&, ch 19 v 26, ch 20 v 13. See also the phrase "and raised the third day" as belonging to "Christs Resurrection" farther on, and it "Romantic" to fact a principle. See of v 21 that Jesus here from an experience of his and much more than this record was afraid of his gospel in Jerusalem (cf. 10 v 16) and that it might yet be the cause of his death — Acts ch 21 v 26-36. Verse 27, 28 here (Math) as likely an interpolation: see it yet a perplexity of discussions promi nently argumentative and distinctive of sect. ["Everyman" v 27 here, an insinuation unite of two Jewish gospels and one a mixture of the two — hence a gradient development • — 178 — " of churches, and gospels Jew first and Gentile last — Acts ch 1 v 8 (Samaria a colony of transplanted Medes), ch 10 v 34, 35, 45-48 ; ch 13 v 42-48 ; ch 14 v 1-6, ch 15 : Luke ch 2 v 32; Acts ch 21 v 19-21 ; John ch 1 v 7. Math Ch 17 [Put # at v 9] # See v 2-8 a some ones vision (v 9) of Peter Jesus or John in a prayer seance pronounced by one of them clair voyant, and the unplainness of it here come of transcription or tradition coalesced into an objective fact — these things of a real mental phenomena in some persons the beginning and honesty of it all the last its record — see Moses and Samuel honest seers and tellers of this an impressive au thority. Verse 18 a tamper. In v 22-, see it a suspicion of Jesus here made a foretell ; and v 23, 27 a distortion — rather-, "and" sell it for "a piece of money" etc. This transfiguration here, seems more a dream (v 5) put here by a some Trinitarian unite of four sectarian gospels (apart before), and canonized in Rome 161-180 — see New Tes tament Canon Ency Brit. Jesus here, ever calls himself "Son of Man" (Mark ch 10 v 18, 40), and its repetition oft, a confirmation of it against other later say controversial, and very suspicious to persons putting truth above myth, the great proof of truth by many then. In v 9, eliminate "risen" etc to "dead" — a slip or desire insert of doctrine. Math Ch 18 [Put @ at v 7] @ See something gone wrong here in v 7 by transcription or wear of meaning in syllable or word. Verse 8, 9 not right, and v 7-9 a sandwich between v 6, 10 a natural con nection sure — see "these little ones" in v 10. See v 18 an ear mark of Rome (ch 16 v 13-20, 19) and the author of it an official in Rome 2nd Cent. See v 21, 22 a kindness of too much mercy in Jesus,- a bleed for the poor — often unthrifty and unworthy. See v 25 an exact law of the time in Jose phus — here an insulation of a same source and time, and good proof. See adroitness of ch 16 v 19 recast under v 17 here. See v 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 as three new matters edited from a some so many sources not of that to v 17 or 23 — hence this a patch together of differing patches unre lated, and preserved with more of each apart to extract or copy in (whole or part) to this record. Straight out com position coming out in Paul Revelation and Acts of the Apostles. Math Ch 19 [Put @atv 19] @ See this verse as it now stands (original or not as the case may be), an impossible psychology,- in that love is a passive feeling coming into mind toward some object pro ducing it, and it not a matter of volition at all _ — so of belief or disbelief a passive and not a z'olition of mind. Try love believe or disbelieve as a volition (R 23 b m,) and watch it when received — so a command to either of these, is a false psychology self evident and impossible. Honor of v 19, an act of showing a feeling passive of es teem in some honorary formula understood. Verses 7-10 here smack much of hot dispute later than the original, and it a Roman stickle proving its origin. See v 21, 24, 29 as not a Kingdom on earth but a brotherly discipleship of v 21 — hence not a necessary method of worldly do, but an ideal of all manly honor and fairness samely to it — Mark ch 10 v 21, 42, 43, 44. For the "Kingdom of Heaven," see v 29, 27, 28, ch 5 v 10, 19, 20, ch 22 v 1-14, Mark ch 10 v 29, 3.0, 37, 40, ch 20 (Math) v 1-16,- the Jew first in Jesus: then- later and second-, see the Jew expanded in Luke to Gentiles included of Acts ; then third a St. John and Paul Gentile in texture, and all again united in a Catholic Church, and a unify of the whole record in touches of universality a first fact, and portions a tamper of myth or controversy — see Nezv Testament Canon Ency Brit for signs of this yet visi ble, and these extensions as less reliable by them a develop ment of mythical controversy (their earmarks) and tradi tions name of John the record minutes of all early contro versy : — see history of the early Christian Church for this and more, and note that first authorities of the church were the O T prophets and promises strained to a fit of Jesus — Rom ch 3 v 1, 2, 21, and all to it a found of the New Testa ment in the Old ; circumcision sacrifice and all other (but shadows of the new) out and dispensed with in preliminary toleration and departure due as not a yet — see all this in Paul, and cling to the Old Testament since, an ignoration of all teachings Paul,- build of Rome on Leviticism Old Ro manism and what more its composite since. To v 1-, see it a posit of the writer east of Jordan. Math'Ch 20 [Put ** at v 17, 18, 19] ** To v 17-19, substitute may for "shall", and take out "and the third day he shall rise again" (Luke ch 24 v 11, 7, John ch 20 v 9) and we have the truth of this as men" — 180 — surely dead never come to life again. Verse 28, an inter polation "sacrificial" Verse 30 on out; an interpolation as sure as a miracle as here alleged is an impossibility — "So Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes", a placebo. This miracle business here as very awkwardly overdone, and here a great reproach on Jesus a personage of great honesty, sense, and godly inspiration — R 11, and Real Jesus the first deliverer of an inspired "Kingdom of Heaven" within the trammels of a heathen Jew first and Gentile carefully second : — as against the law Levite,- his inveterate enemy in fact and principle — see troubles of Paul. His work on earth, a policy of necessity (R 11), and a thettle and thorn to him ending in despair ; his life a consuming sacrifice un-Levite, and non-vicarious; his teach, a preach o. . >
