Ch Paul an Apostle?

§. 3. Revelation […?]

Of what, according to his account of the matter passed on the occasions on which according to his own account of the matter he did not see Jesus, and on which, unless the small packets of vague generality words can be stated as containing a revelation made to him by Jesus, no revelation at all was made to him by Jesus - of these in his speech to King Agrippa and his subsequent speech to the Jerusalem mob he gives his two so different not to say discordant accounts. but Of any revelation that was ever given to him, no account for any thing that we see, did he ever give to any body. By the Revelation what is that we are to understand? is not information, - is not information in some shape or other, information relative to /having for its subject/ past events /occurrence/ and states of things included in the idea /import/ of it? Precept, yes: precept concerning /prescribing/ what he is /himself is expected/ to do: but of information information relative to others /the date[?]/ persons or things in times past, not so much as a /a single/ syllable. Can that be the revelation which of itself was to put him upon a level with the whole fellowship of the select servants and constant companions of Jesus?

Revelation - supposing any thing to which without impropriety or falshood the name could be applied really received by him, - it must, if in what he says to the Galatians he is to be believed, have been some years before his abovementioned trance at Jerusalem: trance: it must have been but a very short time after his receiving the two put-offs: viz. first from Jesus to Ananias, and then from Ananias to nobody. For of this revelation, supposing him to have received what according to him was the practical object? it was that he might present God’s son […?] Jesus among the heathen.

Upon receiving it what accordingly did he do? He communicated not the information, whatever it was, to any body: he made no communication of it even to the Apostles: this is what he did not do: what he did do was - repairing to Arabia, which he did immediately: then to Damascus: then after three years, three years from what epoch reckoned does not appear: whether that of his first sallying forth viz. to Arabia, or from the close of his subsequent stay at Damascus.

Chronology of Paul’s Epistles

Rom. XV. 24 25. 26. 27.

Proves that this letter written from Corinth was written after he had received the contribution from Macedonia and Achaia that he speaks of in & Cor and before the date of the last of those letters to the Corinthians. But I Cor. was written before his separation from Barnabas as per Acts XV. 39: for he speaks of Barnabas as with him.

I Cor. IX. 6

I Cor. was it written?

In Rom XV. 25. He says he is going to Jerusalem to minister to the Saints, viz. to deliver the contribution of Macedonia & Achaia.

Was this the visit with Barnabas (Visit II) or after the rupture with Barnabas? If so, it never was accomplished. Unless it was the Visit with Barnabas when they went on the other errand.

Epistle to the Ephesians is stated at the end as being written from Rome — if so affords no evidence of the perjury — So likewise that to the Philippians — and that to the Colossians

Thessalonians I & II are stated at the end as written from Athens. N.B. Per Acts XVII. 1 He is then for the first time at Thessalonica

Per Acts XVII. 15. He is then at Athens.

Per Acts XVIII. then (for the first time?) at Corinth.

Hebrews which stands last and is stated as being written from Italy. They came after the above. These are the last to sets of persons except to come then those to Timothy, Titus & Philemon.

Chronology continued

I Cor. XVI. 1. Now concerning the collection for the saints as I have given order to the Churches of Galatia, even so do you.

N.B. This must have been before the date of the Epistles we have to the Galatians. This being before the visit to Rome that written from Rome, after Visit III to Jerusalem.

Acts XX. 31. Paul’s speech to Ephesians at Miletus, by the space of three years I ceased not &c. He continued therefore so long at Ephesus.

Sufferings boasted.

II. Tim. III. II. Persecutions &c at Antioch, Iconium, Lystra. These the only persecutions he can mention when making the most of them to Timothy. Confront this with his detail about the 39 stripes &c.

Persecution

Titus I. 15 Unto the pure all things pure

or §. Paul’s Character

Asceticism — Paul preaches Titus III. We ourselves serving divers lusts &c in reference to I. Cor. III. II

To be quoted in the of Paul’s condemnation of Peter &c for doing what himself did. Rom. II. 1 Therefore thou are inexcusable, O man &c.

To be quoted in proof of the perjury Rom II. 26. 29. circumcision needless

Competition proofs

Rom. III. 8. we slanderously reported to say Do evil that good may come.

Not Paul

Ch Paul an Apostle?

Gal. I and II Paul after conversion 3 years before he saw more Apostles than Peter and James: thereafter 14 years not said that he saw more than these two and John.

Flexible[?] the material of which Peter was made: witness his denial of Jesus. […?] of Paul in his Epistle to Galatians, […?] this […?]

In that which stands second, in addition to himself, Apollos alone is mentioned: Peter not.

But between himself and Peter, between those two alone was the schism the competition. As to Apollos, whatever else he was, no Apostle was he, no Apostle did he pretend to be: in point of time /in order/ not till after Paul, in so far as Paul himself is to be believed speaking of the Corinthians to the Corinthians (I Cor. III. 6) did he come: ‘I have planted’ (says he) ‘Apollos watered: and presently afterwards (v. 8.) ‘he that planteth’ (says he) ‘and he that watereth are one.

With Peter therefore - with this chief /chiefly favoured/ of the Apostles was his interference - with /against/ him /that same chief of the Apostles/ his contention from the beginning.

Moreover against that same chief of the Apostles did his contention continue at /to/ /even unto/ the end.

Three years as above /hereinafter/ mentioned was the time that after Paul’s alledged conversion had elapsed, before he saw either Jerusalem or any of the Apostles. Fourteen years more before he saw for the next time that same source and chief seat of the religion which he preached.

Then it was that face to face if he himself is to [be] believed, he had with Peter that dispute of which his own account has reached us.

This visit of which we have the account from Paul himself is it the same as that important visit, of which his self-alledged companion has given his account in the Acts? If so as it is the second of his recorded visits to Jerusalem after his alledged conversion so is it the last.

If so then of this much deprecated and […?] intrusion a schism in the Church of Jesus between the original and the self-intended[?] pillar of it, was the main fruit.
