EPISTLE TO THE PHILIPPIANS. 14<J 



Now if this was the real effusion of St. Paul's mind, ci 

 which it bears the strongest internal character, then wc 

 have in the words " the same conflict which ye saw in me," 

 an authentic confirmation of so much of the apostle's history 

 ill the Acts, as relates to his transactions at Philippi ; and, 

 through that, of the intelligence and general fidelity of the 

 historian.
