otherchureiies of Christendom . Atfd this phenomenon perils tt > have led a late writer to question the g&Suiftietigss of the letter which the Apostle addressed to the Roman converts ; Tbe
following passage of Joseph us affor&s some important infortmticm on this i interesting subject . " A Jew resisted at Rome , who , having r *> e * i accused of transgressing the laws , fled frotti his country to avoid the punishment
which threatened him . During hfe residence at Rome , he pretended t 6 unfold the wisdom of the Mosaic laws , in conjunction with three oth ^ r men , who in every way resembled hims ^ lt . With these associated jFtifoin , a woman

And thus , because of the wickedness of four men , the Jews were driven from the city /* Ant . Jud . cap . xviii . c , 5 , § . 3 . On this passage I shall make a few remarks .
1 . The distresses here spoken of as endured by the Jews , took place about four years after the resurrection of Jesus : for Joseph us presently notices the removal of Pilate from the government of Judea , which took place a little before the death of Tiberius .

" Three young gentlemen being at a tavern on a Sunday , at Charlemont , in Auvergne , in a state of intoxication , took a wooden crucifix that happened to be in the room , and thrusting a spit into it , made the crucifix turn before the fire , for which offence they were all three broke alive on the wheel , after
