To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And the spirit of God, which was to lead these early Christians " into all truth," misled them into accepting writings as genuine and inspired which were afterwards decided to be spurious ! " The more distant monasteries, however, and the earliest Christian sects — the Ebionites, •Corinthians, etc. — denied that any one even of the Four Gospels, except that of Matthew, was genuine; and from that Gospel they excluded as forgeries the two first chapters, which were not found in the original copie...s ; and both Jerome and Epiphanius allow that this is true."* The Gospel of the Essenes was in all probability the •original Gospel in use among the Jessseans (First Christians), and from which a Gospel according to the Hebrews was taken. The miraculous legends and romances of the Essenian Scriptures merely required a change in names, with Jesus -as the hero, to become the Scriptures of the new sect. Neither of these Gospels contained any account of the miraculous conception and birth of Jesus ; and it was pro- bably from this Gospel that the Matthew Gospel, commencing at chapter iii., was taken.
