Added quote about noting teachings which have been given many times.
* The connexion of the word or the act of Jesus with the restoration of the blind, lame and dead, to sight, and health, and life, as cause and effect, is a conclusion which, our reason is compelled to admit, from the uniformity of their concurrence, in such a multitude of instances, as well as from the universal conviction of all, whether friends or foes, who beheld the miracles which he wrought. (Section 38.)
* Either the men of Galilee were men of superlative wisdom, of extensive knowledge and experience, and of deeper skill in the arts of deception, than any and all others, before or after them, or they have truly stated the astonishing things which they saw and heard. (Section 48, page 47.)

[Sayers provides a twentieth-century analogy for the task facing the four evangelists of recording teachings which the Saviour had given repeatedly to many audiences.]
: "The Sadhu’s mind is
an overflowing reservoir of anecdote, illustration, epigram, and parable, but he never makes the
slightest effort to avoid repetition; in fact he appears to delight in it. 'We do not,' he says, 'refuse
to give bread to hungry people because we have already given bread to others.' Hence we have
constantly found the same material occurring in more than one of the written or printed authorities
we have used. 'My mouth,' he says, 'has no copyright'; and many sayings that we had noted down
from his own lips we afterwards discovered to be already in print. In most cases the versions differ
extraordinarily little, but we have always felt free to correct or supplement one version by another at
our own discretion." Streeter and Appasamy: The Sadhu.
