... My opposition is based on two grounds; first, the right of every rational being to become a "Priest unto himself," and by the test of enlightened reason, to form his own unbiased judgment of all things natural and spiritual: second, that the reputation of the Bishops who extracted these books from the original New Testament, under the pretence of being Apocryphal, and forbade them to be read by the people, is proved by authentic impartial history too odious to entitle them to any deference. Since the Nicene Council, by a pious fraud, which I shall further allude to, suppressed these books, several of them have been reissued from time to time by various translators, who differed considerably in their versions, as the historical references attached to them in the following pages will demonstrate...

Chapter 1 No.1

Polycarp commends the Philippians for their respect to

those who suffered for the Gospel; and for their own faith.

POLYCARP, and the presbyters

that are with him, to the

church of God which is at Philippi;

mercy unto you, and peace from

God Almighty, and the Lord Jesus

Christ our Saviour, be multiplied.

2 I rejoiced greatly with you

in our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye

received the images of a true love,

and accompanied, as it behoved you,

those who were in bonds, becoming

saints; which are the crowns of

such as are truly chosen by God

and our Lord:

3 As also that the root of the

faith which was preached from

ancient times, remains firm in you

to this day; and brings forth fruit

to our Lord Jesus Christ, who

suffered himself to be brought

even to the death for our sins:

4 Whom God hath raised up, having

loosed the pains of death. Whom

having not seen, ye love; in whom

though now ye see him not, yet

believing, ye rejoice with joy

unspeakable and full of glory.

5 Into which many desire to

enter; I knowing that by grace ye

are saved; not by works, but by

the will of God through Jesus

Christ.

6 Wherefore girding up the

loins of your minds; I serve

the Lord with fear, and in truth;

laying aside all empty and vain

speech, and the errors of many;

believing in him that raised up

our Lord Jesus Christ from the

dead, and hath given him glory

and a throne at his right hand.

7 To whom all things are made

subject, both that are in heaven,

and that are in earth; whom every

living creature shall worship;

who shall come to be the judge of

the quick and dead: whose blood

God shall require of them that

believe not in him.

8 But he that raised up Christ

from the dead, shall also raise up

us in like manner, if we do his

will, and walk according to his

commandments; and love those

things which he loved:

9 Abstaining from all

unrighteousness; inordinate affection,

and love of money; from evil.

speaking; false witness; not

rendering evil for evil, or

railing for railing, or striking

for striking, or cursing

for cursing:

10 But remembering what the

Lord has taught us saying, Judge

not, and ye shall not be judged;

forgive and ye shall be forgiven;

be ye merciful, and ye shall obtain

mercy; for with the same measure

that ye meet withal, it shall be

measured to you again.

11 And again; Blessed are the

poor, and they that are persecuted

for righteousness sake; for theirs

is the kingdom of God.
