77, &.G.
EVIDENCES OF CHRISTIANITY.
315 we consider how much it would have availed them to have cast a doubt upon this point, if they could ; and how ready they showed themselves to be, to take every advantage in their power; and that they were all men of learning and inquiry ; their concession, or rather their suffrage, upon the sub- ject, is extremely valuable.
In the case of Porphyry, it is made still stronger, by the consideration that he did in fact support himself by this species of objec...tion, when he saw any room for it, or when his acuteness could sup- ply any pretence for alleging it. The prophecy of Daniel he attacked upon this very ground of spuriousness, insisting that it was written after the time of Antiochus Epiphanes, and maintains his charge of forgery by some far-fetched indeed, but very subtle criticisms. Concerning the writ- ings of the New Testament, no trace of tliis sus- picion is any where to be found in him.* SECTION X.
Formal catalogues of authentic Scriptures were published^ in all which our present sacred his- tories were included.
