Soame Jenyns
Also known as: Jenyns, Soame, 1904-
MOST of the writers; who have undertaken to prove the divine origin of the Chriftian Religion, have had recourfe to arguments drawn from thefe three heads: the prophecies ftill extant in the Old Teftament, the miracles recorded in the New, or the internal evidence arifing from that excellence, and thofe clear marks of fupernatural interpofition, which are fo confpicuous in the religion itfelf: The two former have been fufficiently explained and inforced by the ableft pens; but the laft, which feems to carry with it the greateft degree of conviction, has never, I think, been confidered with that attention, which it deferves.
— from A View of the Internal Evidence of the Christian Religion
