With Justin Martyr, who died about A.D. 165, we are near the time when written records definitely replace' tradition. The Memoirs of the Apostles, to which Justin refers as "called Gospels," and the sources of his facts, there now seems no reason to doubt were the Four Gospels which we possess. The writers of these " Memoirs," Justin has told us, imparted instruction as to all things concerning our Savior Jesus Christ." (Second Apol. p. 75.) We have here in embryo a canon of the gospels; it is clear that, if Justin is to be trusted, he must have taken pains to decide between genuine and spurious accounts, so as not to be at sea amongst authorities, as represented by some moderns. Such materials as Justin employed extraneous to our Gospels he may have derived from tradition, without using apocryphal gospels at all. Otherwise, as Mr. Sadler asks, " How is it that he discards all the lying legends with which these gospels teem?" Westcott is able to say: " It would be possible to re-write from Justin's works a considerable part of the records of Christ's life as given by the first three evangelists."*** It is noteworthy that Justin is a witness for the apostolic authorship of our " Revelation."
