; 10 INTRODUCTION. exist between the Epistle and the Gospel. The contradictions which we have not referred to rest upon a perverted exegesis of individual utterances of the Epistle (for instance, ch. v. 6) and they will be considered at large in the commentary on those passages. But what Baur, in particular, has alleged in disparagement of the Epistle, and in proof that it was no better than an unhappy imitation of the style and spirit of the Gospel, has been already reduced to nothing by our common adversary Hilgenfeld. Baur says, that in the Epistle there is not one of the ideas, borrowed from the Gospel, which is stated in an independent manner, and developed in a profounder connection that whatever it contains is but taken arbitrarily from the rich contents of the Gospel ; that if the Epistle has any leading fundamental thought, it is extremely hard to detect or follow it anywhere ; that its polemics are idle and empty (everything is to Baur idle and empty that is directed against a false pantheistic gnosis !) ; and that the Epistle has received from the Gospel its manner of representation,— the monotony of which, however, is more strange, because it is a mere form without its corresponding essence. But to all this we can only reply by giving the great critic our humble assurance, that the poverty of thought and spiritlessness which he alleges, does not lie with the author of the Epistle. If a wild Indian can find no relish in the Olympic Jupiter, the fault is not with Phidias. Hilgenfeld discerns in the Epistle "profound views," which the author of the Gospel, without disparagement to his own " grand originality of conception," appropriated in his production. But every remaining doubt as to the identity of the Epistlewriter and the Evangelist must vanish, when we observe that the latter, like the former, represents himself to have been an eye-witness of the life of Jesus, and an Apostle (1 John i. 1-3, iv. 14) ; and that he refers to the beginning of the Gospel (1 John i. 1-4) in such a manner as to leave no reason for doubting that it is his purpose to describe himself as the same who had written the Gospel. We have therefore the option, either to attribute deception (!) to the man who declares the devil to have been the father of the lie, and every one who speaketh falsehood to be a child of the devil, and the spirit of lying to be the spirit of darkness and of antichrist,—a supposition, the possibility of entertaining which, argues either a very

III. GENUINENESS OF THE EPISTLE. This result, obtained by internal investigations, will be perfectly confirmed by the external testimonies in favour of the genuineness of the Epistle. Polycarp (according to Iren. adv. Hasr. v. 33 ; Euseb. iv. 14, v. 20, an immediate disciple of St John) writes (Phil. 7) : iras yap 09 av p,r) op.oXoyfj 'Irjcrovv avrl^pturo^ ian,— an undeniable Xpiarbv iv aap/cl ekrfh.v6e.vaL, allusion to 1 John iv. 3 (compared with ver. 2).
