The Old Testament emofaseiSviceeand7nantaDd W9 P<30ple’ eXpreSsi°8 th° termsof sei vice and favour under the old dispensation ; the New Testament em-bodies a similar covenant under the later dispensation of his Son. BothTestaments constitute what (from the Greek i (MXot, the book) is pre-eminently styled The Bible.The New Testament is that body of twenty-seven books, or treatises,written by eight different authors, which the Christian Church from theapostolic age has considered as providentially designed by Jesus Christ, theGreat Head of the Church, as the true, and perfect, and infallible expres-sion and record of his religion. The authenticity of these books, theirhistorical truth, and the verity of the religion they teach, have beendemonstrated with great learning and force, and at great length, by manyable writers. The vast mass of proof we may very imperfectly classifyas Historical, Prophetical, and Internal. Of these we briefly notice thefirst two.Historical Proof.The Historical Proof embraces, I. The testimony of profane or pager,authors to the facts of Christianity. 1. Tacitus, the greatest of Ro-man historians, says, in word's which show his own pagan hostility toChristianity, that the emperor Nero “inflicted the severest punishmentsupon a class of people held in abhorrence for their crimes, called Chris-tians. The founder of that name was Christ, who suffered death m iareign of Tiberius under his procurator, Pontius Pilate. This des rue nsuperstition, thus checked for a while, broke out again, an< ®p™a< ’ „only over Judea, where the evil originated, but through B m J.This extract furnishes, in fact, a brief history ot the'^Xn>;of the existence, time, and death of its ioimdei, and t ..his Church. 2. Suetonius, another Roman pagan «his Hife of Nero : “most elegant of Pa-wriX""to the emperor of Borno about thirty or fortyyears after the death of Christ’ deta\I^Sut^fyX?areOd that the whole ofcustomed to separate and then to re-assemble to eat m common a harless meal ” These passages demonstrate, by the highest possible paganauthority, the great facts of the existence, the time, and the deathof Christ, as well as of the sufferings, the purity, the stated worship,the belief in Christ’s divinity, and the sacramental meal of the earlyChurch.II.The testimony of pagan controversial opposers. Celsus wroteagainst Christianity in the second century. He assumes throughout thatthe four Gospels were written by the authors whose names are attachedto them, and that if he can overthrow them he destroys the religion. Hedoes not so much deny the miracles of Jesus as ascribe them (like thescribes) to magic and connection with evil powers. Porphyry in thethird century, and the emperor Julian in the fourth, follow the same course.The authenticity of the Gospels is by them wholly admitted.III.Higher than all pagan admission is the testimony of the earlyChristian Church. That the primitive Christians were a holy Churchsifted by the terrible power of martyrdom, is attested alike by paganasxsassxtd*to the time of plul an^tlm evXehsts * AwhX^8 ffT preSent daThes along from the present commentary to Matri ? • b°°kS Md record3cessive generation quotes the books of the ™ X h™Self- Each ®«c-np to the New Testament writers Each P hnS generation entirelyo the writings of the pre^X^^T.existentT'ote books that do not exist.
