V. LETTERS TO THE REV. MR. WESLEY.

Page.

LETTER I. The Epistle to the Romans reviewed,

and sundry Passages of it shown to be

irreconcilable with Common Sense, on

supposition that its Author held the

Doctrine of Christ's mere Humanity..... 413

II. The two Epistles to the Corinthians

considered, and many Passages of a

similar Nature pointed out........

III. The Epistle to the Galatians and that

to the Ephesians proved to contain a

Doctrine equally absurd, if Christ be a

mere Man...

IV. The Epistle to the Philippians and

that to the Colossians must be viewed

in the same Light

V. The Epistles to the Thessalonians equally

inconsistent with Common Sense on the

same Supposition.......

VI. The Epistles to Timothy, Titus,

and Philemon are also inconsistent

therewith....

VII. The Epistle to the Hebrews affords

abundant Proof of the Absurdity of

its Doctrine, if Christ be a mere Man. 455

VIII. The Epistle of St. James, and those

of St. Peter, exhibit a Doctrine equally

absurd, on the same Supposition......

IX. The Epistles of St. John, and that of

465

St. Jude, were written in the same

strain of Absurdity, if the Doctrine of

Christ's mere Humanity be true............ 471

X. The same Doctrine of Christ's mere

Humanity represents the Apostle John

as writing without Common Sense in

the Apocalypse, and fathers similar

Absurdity on John the Baptist............. 481

Page

LETTER XI. It represents Christ himself as uttering

Declarations absurd, and even blas-

phemous, and that as well after his
