Seite 161 - Apostles, is confinned in each of the methods above mentioned, and by the combination of them all. Indeed it may boldly be affirmed that no fact whatever, in ancient history, is nearly so well and fully attested as is the Gospel history. If that history is rejected, then not only is all history an illusion, but the entire system of human...
Seite 66 - From contingo, to touch upon, or happen. In popular language, whatever event takes place of which we do not discern the cause, why it should have happened in this manner, or at this moment, rather than another, is called a contingent event; or an event without a cause : as for example, the falling of a leaf on a particular spot, or the turning up of a certain number, when dice are thrown.
