The suppressed Gospels and Epistle of the Original New Testament of Jesus the Christ, and other portions of the ancient Holy Scriptures. Now extant, attributed to His Apostles, and their Disciples, and venerated by the primitive Christian churches during the first four centuries, but since, after violent disputations forbidden by the Nicene Council, in the reign of the Emperor Constantine and omitted from the Catholics and Protestant editions of the New Testament, by it's compilers. Translated from the original tongues, with historical references to their authenticity, by Archbishop Wake.
A great addition to any library of the historical and non-canonical works of Christianity.

Every Christian sect from the fourth century to the present period, have been blessed with the books that climbed upon the communion-table, and in consequence were deemed inspired and canonical; at the same time have been forbidden to read the Gospels and Epistles herein published, because they could not perform the same feat, but remained under the table, and were condemned accordingly, as uninspired and apocryphal writings. If you believe this popish legend, you will not read the good books I lay before you, but still continue to possess only HALF THE TESTAMENT, instead of the PERFECT ONE, which will enable you to burst the trammels of priestcraft, and by the light of God’s whole truth become free. In conclusion, I implore you to examine for yourselves, and observe the testimony of Archbishop Wake and other learned divines and historians appended thereto; and subscribe myself, Your well-wisher, EDWARD HANCOCK
