Tacitus, testimony of, to the gospel facts, i. 125; to the propa-
gation of Christianity, 261.

Temper of mind in which Christianity should be studied, i. 23;
is characterized by docility, 24; seriousness, 24; prayer,
25; obedience, 25; entirely wanting in unbelievers-lite-
rary, 26; uninformed, 29; low and profane, 30. Its indis-
pensable importance appears, from the influence of the
passions over the understanding, 31; acknowledged to be
essential to every important investigation, 32; must be yet
more so in the investigation of the Christian evidences, 33;
and is required by Christianity herself, 33. This temper
should be cultivated by those who are harassed by sus-
picions, 37; by the young, 40; and by all, 40.
Temperance of Jesus Christ, ii. 104.

Temple at Jerusalem, description of, i. 228. Attempt by Julian
to rebuild it, frustrated, 235.

Tendency of Christianity to promote the temporal and spiritual
happiness of nations and individuals, ii. 124; appears from
the direction which it takes, 128; the hindrances opposed to
it, 132; its success in proportion to the removal of them,
136; and the ultimate effects which it will produce when
all obstacles are removed, 143. Each individual should
show forth this tendency by his holy life, 150; and pray
for the copious influences of grace to hasten on the blessed
period when the tendencies of Christianity shall become
effects, 152.

Tertullian, testimony of, to the authenticity of the books of the
New Testament, i. 96, 102; to the inspiration, 340.

- and Origen state the extent of the propagation of
Christianity, i. 262.
Test, the, to which every one may bring the truth of the Chris-
tian religion, ii. 154; the nature of the argument, 155; the
scriptural authority on which it rests, 160; the facts by
which it is sustained, 164; there is nothing in it to excite
astonishment, 170. The defect of experience in some per-
sons, no valid objection to the argument, 172. The singular
importance of the proof thus educed, being entirely level to
the mass of mankind, 174; the most satisfactory to men of
all classes, 177; a growing evidence, 179; strengthening
all the external and internal proofs, 180; and peculiarly
necessary in the present day, 182. An appeal to sincere
Christians in support of this argument, 185; directions for
the application of the test, 188; the character of persons
prepared to enter on a personal trial, 189.

Theophilus' testimony to the inspiration of the Old and New

Testaments, i. 340.

Tranquillity of mind produced by faith, ii. 321.

Translation of the Bible, the fidelity of the English, i. 145.
Tyre, destruction of, i. 240.

Valens' testimony to the love of Christians to the holy books,
i. 96.

Unbelievers want the temper of mind in which alone Christia-

nity can be properly studied, i. 26. They betray a wrong
temper, 35. Their five common principles, 50; borrowed
from Christianity, 50; held loosely, 52; wholly insufficient
as a guide to man, 53. See Infidels, Infidelity.

Union of separate graces in our Saviour's personal character,
ii. 106.

Universal diffusion, the Bible is calculated for, ii. 23; both as
to matter, 23; and manner, 25.

Volney and Swartz contrasted, ii. 27.

Voltaire, the character and conduct of, ii. 262. His last days,
285.

Warburton's, Bishop, opinion on the inspiration of the New
Testament, i. 322, 349.

World, our Lord's superiority to the, ii. 103.

Writers on the evidences have pursued various methods, ii.
416; primitive, 416; literary, 417; theological, 417; me-
taphysical, 418; historical, 418; Christian, 418.

Young, address to the, i. 372, 375; exhorted to shun vicious
courses, ii. 249; to be careful not to provoke the Spirit of
God to depart from them, 249; and to see that they possess
the substantial blessings of Christianity, 250. Convinced
from the lives and deaths of infidels, that their objections
confirm Christianity, 294.
