Excerpt from A Vindication of Bishop Colenso MY dear friend - I have just risen from a rapid reading of the pages ascribed to Bishop Colenso. I can not agree with our hopeful young nephew, Tom, that Moses and his Pentateuch are smashed. The last two centuries have seen Moses so often demolished, and so often put together again, that I am in no fear about him. I assure you, that if Colenso be the author, I am in much more alarm for the Bishop than for Moses; and fancy that it will be said of him as of another in a like case, That he went out intending to commit murder, and committed suicide. Nor am I much afraid for that redoubtable doubter, young Tom. As I have seen Moses so often killed, yet rise to life once more, so I have seen many a young Thomas Didymus reclaimed from his doubts long before he had ended his third decade.
