This faith thus planted amongst the Britons by the Apostles and Apostolick men perished not after their departure but remained as Gildas c. 7. writeth apud quosdam integrè amongst some entire and about the yeare of our Lord 158. was meruaillously increased and cōfirmed by meanes of Pope Eleutherius who sending hither at the request of Lucius then King of the Britons his two Legats S.

The Christian faith thus receaued the Britons kept not onely sound Gildas de oxcid c. 7. Bed l. 1. c. 4 and vndefiled from heresies a long tyme but quiet also from troubles and persecutions vntil the reign of Diocletian the Emperor Gildas c. 7. Bed l. 1. c. 6 who began in the yeare of our Lord 286. for ten yeares space raised a more cruel persecution against the Christians than euer had ben before which passing into this Iland honored it with the glorie of many holy Martyrs Gildas c. 8. who constantly stood and died in the confession of their faith Of whome cheefly are named Saint Alban whose miracles and martyrdom are largly set downe by S. Beda lib. 1. c. 7. and Iulius and Aaron This storme of persecution being ouerblown Constantin the Great a Briton borne receaued the Christian faith exalted it in the whole Empire of Rome In whose tyme arose the Arian heresie which running through the world corrupted also this Iland and shortly after all manner of heresies flowed in Heresies enter into England was there receaued of the inhabitants being men as saith S. Gildas their Countryman euer delighted to heare new things and stedfastly retainning nothing certain And for these heresies and other vices were the Britons plagued by God with extreme famin wonderful pestilence in so much as the quick were not sufficient to bury the dead and with most cruel blooddy warre of the Picts and Scotts as yow may read in Gildas and in Beda lib. 1. c. 12. 14. But for the accomplishmēt of their iniquities after all this they admitted the Pelagian heresie Heresie bane of a Country which hastned their desolation and almost vtter destruction brought sone after vpon them by the Saxons or English For as S. Beda saith lib. 1. c. 17. a few yeares before the cōming of the Saxons into this Land which saith he lib. 1. c. 15. was in the yeare of our Lord 429. the Pelagian heresies were brought in See S. Bed l. 1. c. 17. seq But of this heresie the Land was after rid by the disputation and miracles first of S. German and Lupus sent by Pope Celestinus anno 429. after by the same S. German and Seuerus anno 435. ex Baronio 4. After this tyme in this place the faith long tyme saith S. Beda lib. 1. c. 21. remained sound and vndefiled But at last in all or most of the Britons it was corrupted by an erroneous opinion about the tyme of keeping Easter The Britōs error about Easter far differēt from the Quartadecimās See Euseb 5. hist c 24. 25.

Thomas for the restoring of them which was done That the man had bene thus maimed the Burgesses and Cittizens of Bedford saith Fox did testifie with publick letters And whither he was cured or no was easy to know All that Fox saith against this or the rest of the miracles is that there was no necessitie of a miracle in a Christian Realm hauing the word of God Forsooth he must tel God when there is necessitie yea tie Gods hands to do nothing but for necessitie Had not the Iewes the word of God when they had the daylie miracles of Probatica piscina Doth not the vertue of miracles shine in the Church for euer as the notes of the English Bible imprinted An. 1576.
