The bishop, it • Matt. Vi. 23. seems, thinks that a man may be a Christian, even if he deny- that Moses ever wrote a book ; although the pLain consequence of such an hypothesis must be, that Jesus Christ ^^ was Himself either deceived or a deceiver : the former consequence is adopted by the bishop. If, then, our Lord were deceived, how, we would ask, can Christianity be a revelation from God ? or in what respect does it differ from Mohammedism ? The bishop, too, considers that himself, born mor...e than eighteen centuries since our Lord, and thirty- four centuiies since the assumed time of Moses ; born, too, in England, a country where the manners and customs of the people are continually varying, whilst in the East, the country of Moses and Jesus, manners and customs change not from generation to generation and from century to century — the bishop, I say, considers that he knows better than Christ ; and believes that German criticism of the language used (aided with the application of Colenso's arithmetic to the numbers found) in the collection of books called the Pentateuch, can prove to a demonstration that Moses was not their author, and that their contents are not matters of fact.
