rock_n must_v have_v be_v a_o very_a visible_a thing_n by_o the_o mountain_n of_o rubbish_n that_o must_v have_v be_v bring_v out_o and_o by_o the_o vast_a number_n of_o hand_n that_o must_v have_v

from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n i_o call_v to_o mind_v a_o passage_n of_o a_o letter_n of_o cornelius_n that_o be_v bishop_n of_o rome_n after_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o three_o century_n

forty_o six_o presbyter_n seven_o deacon_n as_o many_o subdeacons_n and_o ninety_o four_o of_o the_o inferior_a order_n of_o the_o clergy_n among_o they_o there_o be_v also_o fifteen_o hundred_o widow_n and_o other_o poor_a maintain_v out_o of_o the_o public_a charity_n it_o may_v be_v reasonable_o suppose_v that_o the_o number_n of_o the_o christian_n be_v as_o great_a when_o this_o epistle_n be_v write_v as_o they_o be_v at_o any_o time_n before_o constantine_n day_n for_o as_o this_o be_v write_v at_o the_o end_n of_o that_o long_a peace_n of_o which_o both_o s._n cyprian_n

be_v two_o particular_n in_o this_o state_n of_o the_o clergy_n upon_o which_o one_o may_v make_v a_o probable_a estimate_n of_o the_o number_n of_o the_o christian_n the_o one_o be_v their_o poor_a which_o be_v but_o fifteen_o hundred_o now_o upon_o a_o exact_a survey_n it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o where_o the_o poor_a be_v well_o look_v to_o their_o number_n rise_v general_o to_o be_v the_o thirty_o or_o forty_o part_n of_o mankind_n and_o this_o may_v be_v well_o believe_v to_o be_v the_o proportion_n of_o the_o poor_a among_o the_o christian_n of_o that_o age_n for_o as_o their_o charity_n be_v vigorous_a and_o tender_a so_o we_o find_v celsus_n julian_n lucian_n prophiry_n and_o other_o object_n this_o to_o the_o christian_n of_o that_o time_n that_o their_o charity_n to_o the_o poor_a draw_v va●●_n number_n of_o the_o low_a sort_n among_o they_o who_o make_v themselves_o christians_o that_o they_o may_v be_v supply_v by_o their_o brethren_n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o state_n of_o the_o christians_n then_o we_o may_v reckon_v the_o poor_a the_o thirty_o part_n and_o so_o fifteen_o hundred_o multiply_v by_o thirty_o produce_v five_o and_o forty_o thousand_o and_o i_o be_o the_o more_o incline_v to_o think_v that_o this_o rise_v up_o near_o to_o the_o full_a sum_n of_o their_o number_n by_o the_o other_o character_n of_o the_o number_n of_o the_o clergy_n for_o as_o there_o be_v forty_o six_o presbyter_n so_o there_o be_v ninety_o four_o of_o the_o inferior_a order_n who_o be_v two_o more_o than_o double_a the_o number_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o this_o be_v in_o a_o time_n in_o which_o the_o care_n of_o soul_n be_v more_o exact_o look_v after_o than_o it_o have_v be_v in_o the_o more_o corrupt_a age_n the_o clergy_n have_v then_o real_o more_o work_n on_o their_o hand_n the_o instruct_n of_o their_o catechuman_n the_o visit_v their_o sick_a and_o the_o support_v and_o comfort_v the_o weak_a be_v task_n that_o require_v so_o much_o application_n that_o in_o so_o vast_a a_o city_n as_o rome_n be_v in_o those_o day_n in_o which_o it_o be_v probable_a the_o christian_n be_v scatter_v over_o the_o city_n and_o mix_v in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o we_o make_v a_o conjecture_n that_o be_v not_o ill_o ground_v when_o we_o reckon_v that_o every_o presbyter_n have_v perhaps_o about_o a_o thousand_o soul_n commit_v to_o his_o care_n so_o this_o ri●es_n to_o six_o and_o forty_o thousand_o which_o come_v very_o near_o the_o sum_n that_o may_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o other_o hint_n take_v from_o the_o number_n of_o their_o poor_a so_o that_o about_o fifty_o thousand_o be_v the_o high_a account_n to_o which_o we_o can_v reasonable_o raise_v the_o number_n of_o the_o christian_n of_o rome_n in_o that_o time_n and_o of_o so_o
