tfreir end , by making 6 &so £% as < 3 riesbach has done , a nominative case to tfepwn'oiyio'arb ; whereas the forgery , as it now stands , would not suggest to an ancient
reader , much less establish , the divinity of Christ . They could not but be aware that the interpretation of their forgery in the way they wished , would be resisted by the implication that the apostle had in other places called Jesus a God ; and that he supposed God not only to possess flesh and blood , but to be subject to death . The implication is contradicted by an obvious fact : and this fact therefore sets aside the probability of forgery .
Lastly . I hnve insisted that the reading of xvpiovj for which Griesbach contends * is not probable , because no such phrase as £ -kk \ y } - critz rov nvpioj 'occurs in other parts of the N- T . ; that on the other hand the teYms £ x * ATj < na rov &sov form the usual designation of the Christian Church ; that the frequency and uniformity of this designation approximate the fixedness of a proper name ; and that it has a force and pertinence as describing a body of people devoted to God in opposition to the Gnostics , of which the phrase sxxXrjo-ta , r ' ov xupiov is destitute .

Dr . Lloyd ' s reply is in every respect beneath my notice . He imputes to me an instance of the most unparalleled fraud , and intimates , in a Latin quotation , though he affects to have ihe politeness not to say so , that I am not to be believed on oath * I have
no occasion to disavow the intention of misleading my reader . IVIy words are clear , unequivocal , and strictlv within the limits of
truth , and the charge could have originated only in the virulent temper and disordered imagination of my accuser * The consciousness of my innocence has
disarmed my resentment ; and after the first glow of indignation I have no feelings but those of compassion . I am glad indeed that an opportunity was given me of exposing the misrepresentations of
Griesbach , and of vindicating the loved name of Gilbert Wakefield ; but I am truly sorry that I have been the unwilling means 6 f inducing Dr . Lloyd to place himself before the public in a light so inconsistent ******** J . JONES .
