Here, then, we have, according to his hypothesis, another sermon of Christ's, which, owing to the "close sequence" of its various passages, and its completeness as a whole, must take its place alongside of the Sermon on the Mount. Where does it come from?
Latterly he seems to have come under the influence of an international crook called at the moment Dompierre, who soon saw a way of utilizing Stelli's genius on a royal scale.
