consonant with known facts, we are
strongly persuaded, if not thoroughly
convinced of the veracity of the witness.
For it is we'll known that the most skill
full writer's of history and fiction have
failed in these particulars, and have COM
mitted the grossest solecisms.
7th. If the description of an individ-
ual or of class be in keeping throughout,
we know almost certainly that the portrait
is taken from life and is not fancy
sketch. One portion of the evidence
being true, it is fair inference that all
may be so.
Sth. If in the course of his narrative,
the narrator gives natural touches emf
nently true to nature, the natural simpll-
city of his story argues strongly for Its
credibility.
9th. If he lets fall, as it were by &C
cident, in one part of his narrative re-
mark which comedies incidentally with
another part, we have strong reason
for believing him to be an honest man.
10th. This test rises in Importance,
when these condolences occur, not in the
different parts of the testimony of the
same witness, but between the several
statements of independent witnesses.
11th. A lower test, than that men,
toned under the 5th head, thong not to
be overlooked, is the employment by the
witness of certain peculiar idioms, GER
tain favorite words and expressions. The
framer of a forgery would have more
artificial style.
18th. If one witness states facts not
given by the other witnesses, but which
be only could have known from his su-
perior means of information, we regard
the want of correspondence as a proof,
that no concert has been held between
the witnesses to get up well-contrived
story. The fuller testimony of the bet
ter informed witness deserves, under these
circumstances, more than usual favor.
We expect to use all these tests, in the
course of our examination of the Evan
gelists. and when we have made an ar
gument for their truthfulness drawn from
any of the above tests, We will place a
numeral on the margin of the page.
By reference to the ordinal so placed,
the reader will be able to see when a
point or argument is made, and also in
the progress of the investigation, how
many points have been made up to the
passage under consideration.
Our examination will begin with the
events Immediately following the death
