Quoted by Thomas Paine in his Age of Reason, ■Conway vol. 4, page 158:
“The only one of the men called apostles who appears to have been near to the spot was Peter, and when he was accused of being one of Jesus’s followers, it is said (Matthew 26:74), Then Peter began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man: yet we are now called to believe the same Peter, convicted, by their own account, of perjury. For what reason, or on what authority, should we do this?”
