The revised version of the New Testament, with a history of the present and former . which from any other mouth would be universally condemned aswicked blasphemy, but which from his lips sound with all the forceof self-evident truth. If He was the wisest and holiest of men. Hemust truly be what He professes to be, the Son of God. the pro-mised Messiah, the Saviour of the world. THE CHRIST OF PEOPHECY.

Isaiah, the prince and evangelistamon
