“The four canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were chosen by divination. They took some hundreds of books and set them up at the Nicean Council. Those which fell down they threw aside as false, and those which stood (these four) they accepted as true, being unable to decide the question in any other way. Out of the three hundred and eighteen members of the Council only two – Eusebius, the great forger, and the Emperor Constantine – were able to read. (See Helena Blavatsky). It might be added that the book of Luke almost fell and was only saved by a hair’s breadth and the Emperor Constantine, according to our friend Ripley, was never at any time a Christian. So mote it be!”
