of_o this_o opinion_n but_o what_o we_o see_v that_o in_o greece_n even_o at_o athens_n this_o tenebrosity_n be_v see_v which_o make_v i_o believe_v that_o this_o eclipse_n be_v universal_a over_o

chap._n xxiii_o of_o many_o passage_n quote_v by_o divers_a author_n which_o have_v make_v mention_n of_o christ._n i_o have_v divers_a time_n hear_v many_o learned_a and_o curious_a man_n which_o will_v ask_v a_o reason_n why_o and_o whence_o it_o proceed_v that_o the_o gentile_n and_o ethnic_n have_v make_v so_o little_a mention_n in_o their_o writing_n of_o the_o life_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o his_o miracle_n which_o be_v in_o so_o great_a a_o number_n and_o so_o public_o manifest_v even_o by_o his_o disciple_n see_v that_o these_o ethnic_n have_v not_o fail_v to_o make_v mention_n in_o their_o book_n of_o other_o thing_n particular_o happen_v in_o their_o time_n and_o yet_o not_o of_o so_o great_a importance_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v against_o truth_n to_o say_v that_o the_o profane_a historiographer_n have_v not_o speak_v of_o they_o for_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a whereof_o i_o will_v bring_v some_o example_n for_o those_o that_o have_v no_o great_a knowledge_n in_o ancient_a history_n my_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o we_o must_v consider_v upon_o this_o that_o save_a faith_n and_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n give_v by_o christ_n begin_v by_o he_o and_o his_o apostle_n to_o be_v publish_v through_o all_o the_o world_n be_v accept_v by_o some_o which_o determine_v to_o live_v and_o die_v in_o it_o other_o obstinate_a in_o their_o vice_n and_o sin_n do_v not_o only_o refuse_v it_o but_o persecute_v it_o there_o be_v again_o other_o that_o keep_v the_o middle_n for_o although_o this_o seem_v good_a unto_o they_o yet_o for_o fear_n of_o tyrant_n and_o persecutor_n and_o other_o worldly_a consideration_n which_o make_v this_o holy_a profession_n disesteem_v they_o will_v neither_o embrace_v it_o nor_o accept_v it_o the_o world_n be_v thus_o divide_v in_o three_o opinion_n those_o which_o confess_v christ_n do_v notable_a and_o marvellous_a thing_n whereof_o many_o bear_v witness_n of_o their_o truth_n of_o which_o number_n be_v st._n dennis_n tertullian_n lactantius_n firmian_n eusebins_n and_o many_o other_o too_o long_o to_o recite_v the_o other_o wicked_a sort_n which_o persecute_v it_o as_o a_o strange_a thing_n and_o utter_o disagree_v to_o their_o law_n do_v eager_o pursue_v total_o to_o ruin_v it_o and_o to_o hide_v the_o miracle_n life_n and_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n for_o this_o cause_n they_o speak_v not_o of_o they_o or_o those_o among_o they_o which_o do_v speak_v any_o thing_n of_o they_o be_v but_o to_o make_v they_o contemn_v and_o to_o cloud_v they_o as_o do_v the_o wicked_a porfice_n julian_n vincent_n celsus_n african_n lucian_n and_o other_o such_o devilish_a man_n against_o who_o cyprian_n origen_n st._n augustine_n and_o other_o have_v write_v learned_o the_o other_o which_o either_o for_o fear_n or_o worldly_a consideration_n refuse_v to_o be_v christian_n or_o to_o love_n and_o to_o know_v the_o truth_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n abandon_v to_o

will_v hide_v the_o truth_n under_o the_o vail_n of_o some_o colourable_a truth_n it_o often_o happen_v by_o a_o certain_a hide_a propriety_n in_o the_o truth_n that_o he_o which_o will_v hide_v it_o

it_o happen_v in_o this_o sort_n to_o these_o two_o kind_a of_o people_n for_o although_o they_o strive_v to_o put_v to_o a_o end_n and_o destroy_v the_o miracle_n and_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n yet_o every_o time_n they_o speak_v of_o they_o they_o speak_v something_o by_o which_o they_o discover_v their_o malice_n and_o the_o sincerity_n of_o that_o doctrine_n i_o can_v speak_v of_o many_o
