1817 Aug. 28, ch 2
Sept. 16 1817. If at all, this Chapter after the restCh. 2 Short History 1.Pauls History. For
this, few words may
her suffice —
1. Extraction Jewish
2. Birth place, a place
in Asia, Greek the
language.
3. Trade, tent-making —
4. Time unspecified,
under a Doctor of
Jew Law he had served,
probably as a Scribe.
5. Hence some knowledge of it.
6. After Jesus's death
his adherents numerous
enough
to terrify give alarm to a weak
government —
Paul quits his honest lower
ofccupation for
that of a sort of Police Officer,
specially employed
in hunting
out and destroying
them.

Ch. Short History 2.Yet such was their
increase, it seemed
to him more was to
be got by spreading
the religion than
by labouring for its
extinction: which idea had occurred to, and
been acted upon,much about this
time, by Simon Magus,
Acts 8 VIII 9
IV 36, 37 Barnabas sold his
land & gave the Apostles the money.
IX. 27. He introduced Paul to them
Public mind such,
3no deep contrivance
or associates necessary.
Visions believed,
one such sufficed
for any purpose.
4.For self-advantage
Paul cared not what
mischief he did to
others. In Spain a
goad familiar of the
Inquisition; in Scotland
a match for the man
with the ardent
mind.
5. The , till now
now employed in destruction,
now employed
in support of the new

Ch. Short History 5 continuedreligion. Ostensible
cause of the change
necessary: now not
findable: then, easily.
God had commanded
them him to
persecute the Christians:
Jesus to
head them. Prosecuted,
tbey avoided
him: preached to, they
might obey him.
6.Story curious: now
it would not have
passed upon a South : A vision
not seen - even by
the seer; voice voice heard,
known to be Jesus's.
Jesus's object is
to gain him: terms
soon settled: till
now, an active enemy;
now an active
supporter.
7.In short by another
vision was this supported:
but less substantial. In the Acts
different; viz
Ananias. But, so
common is this,
