first_o prevent_v a_o objection_n though_o a_o sorry_a one_o for_o ignorance_n make_v use_v of_o all_o tool_n it_o will_v be_v say_v perhaps_o i_o have_v be_v too_o bold_a with_o apollonius_n who_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o many_o man_n and_o such_o as_o will_v be_v think_v learned_a be_v a_o very_a great_a philosopher_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o question_v not_o any_o man_n learning_n let_v they_o think_v of_o themselves_o as_o they_o please_v and_o if_o they_o can_v let_v they_o be_v answerable_a to_o their_o thought_n but_o as_o for_o apollonius_n i_o say_v the_o noise_n of_o his_o miracle_n like_o those_o of_o xavier_n may_v fill_v some_o credulous_a ear_n and_o this_o sudden_a alarm_n may_v procure_v he_o entertainment_n but_o have_v these_o admirer_n peruse_v his_o history_n they_o have_v not_o betray_v so_o much_o weakness_n as_o to_o allow_v he_o any_o sober_a character_n it_o be_v true_a philostratus_n attribute_n many_o strange_a performance_n to_o he_o as_o that_o he_o shall_v raise_v the_o dead_a free_a himself_o from_o prison_n and_o shake_v off_o his_o chain_n with_o as_o much_o divinity_n as_o s._n peter_n himself_o nay_o that_o plead_v with_o

consider_v only_o what_o philostratus_n himself_o will_v confess_v we_o shall_v quick_o find_v that_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v but_o his_o invention_n for_o in_o the_o beginning_n of_o his_o
