Excerpt from The Veracity of the Gospels Acts of the Apostles: Argued From the Undesigned Coincidences to Be Found in Them, When Compared 1. With Each Other, and 2. With Josephus

Of accident, it is enough. It does not require many circumstantial coincidences to deter mine the mind of a jury as to the credibility of a witness in our courts, even where the life of a fellow-creature is at stake. I say this, not as a matter of charge, but as a matter of fact, indicating the authority which attaches to this species of evidence, and the confidence universally entertained that it cannot deceive. Neither should it be forgotten, that an argu ment thus popular, thus applicable to the af fairs of common life as a test of truth, derives no small value, when enlisted in the cause of Christianity, from the readiness with which it is apprehended and admitted by mankind at large.
