I have made a wee-little book from the same materials (The Gospels) which I call The Philosophy of Jesus. It is a paradigm of his doctrines, made by cutting the texts out of the book and arranging them on the pages of a blank book, in a certain order of time or subject. A more beautiful or more precious morsel of ethics I have never seen. It is a document in truth that I am a REAL CHRISTIAN, that is to say a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus, very different than the Platonists, who call ME infidel and THEMSELVES Christians and preachers of the Gospel, while they draw all their characteristic dogmas from what its author never said nor saw. They have compounded from the heathen mysteries a system beyond the comprehensionof man, of which the greater reformer of the vicious ethics and deism of the Jews, were here to return on earth, would not recognize one feature.
