    Title proposed 1817 Oct. 21

    Not Paul but Jesus: in which the incompatibility of Paul’s doctrine with Jesus’s is proved, his title to the character of an Apostle disproved: the history called the Acts of the Apostles shewn to be irreconcileable with contradicted by

    the Gospel history not to have been written by Saint Luke and in on many other places points false: ordinary occurrences being throughout coloured into miracles

    and the ascetic principle thus divested of its support from the religion of Jesus.

    In Preface or Introd. observe that the course taken for explaining quasi—miracles into non—miracles is the course taken by Dr Farmer and others as to the Dæmoniacs.
