To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It appears, therefore, upon a nice dis* cussioQ of the question, that the evidence which we actually have of otur Lord^s re- surrection, in the testimony of the chosen witnessesyis indeed the greatest of whi(^ the fsLCt i& liaturaUy capable. No other could have been transmitted • as ori^nal testirocmy to posterity, no other could have been' satis&ctory to the puUic at the time. The demand of frequent public exhibitions of the person is die demand of folly ; not perceiving the distinction betwee...n a just proof, by which a fact may be established, and those vague repoi*ts which every one adopts and no one owns, which serve only to multiply dbubt smd to propagate tincer- 186 tainty. Public appearances could have added nothing to the testimony of the cho- sen witnesses. By destroyii^ the precision . of the story, they might have diminished the efficacy of its proper evidence. The conviction to be derived from theu would have been appropriated to the few who had a distinct knowledge of our Saviour's poson, and the whde benefit of their con- viction would have been confined to thenoh selves.
