Not Paul
Ch. Paul's Style
Obscurity disproves inspiration
25 or 1.
In Paul's discourses
are characters disproving
the supposition
of special commission
from God
Principal & obscurity
26 or 2
To all persons for
whose use it is designed
the conception
conveyed by a discourse
should be clear, correct
and compleat as may be.
27 or 3
Only in proportion
as it is understood
can any good expected
from it be produced.
28 or 4
Evils produced in so
far as it fails of being
understood—

2. Evil of
29 or 5

Ch. Pauls Style.
(Obscurity disproves unfinished)
30 or 6
In so far as such
failure has place, the
means are ill adapted
to their end.
31 or 7
To employ means ill
adapted to the end
is to be deficient in
wisdom: if they are
known to be so and
the end known to be
good - an ordinary benevolence.32 or 8
Under such deficiencies
how can any discourses
be now believed
to be the results
of a special commission
from God?
33 or 9.
Objection - difficult
as are these discourses
they admitt of some
explanation: some
explanation given,
difficulty is at one an
end.
34 or 10.
Answer. (Saving conception
of which aftwds)
explanation is substitution
by it the obscurity
or ambiguity
i e the imperfection is
admitted.
