specious_a and_o plausible_a §_o iii_o and_o here_o i_o consider_v first_o that_o all_o these_o argument_n of_o his_o credibility_n depend_v as_o to_o we_o either_o on_o the_o pure_a testimony_n of_o porphyry_n who_o be_v the_o first_o who_o produce_v he_o with_o any_o great_a applause_n and_o confidence_n and_o who_o be_v therefore_o just_o suspicious_a if_o not_o of_o whole_o coin_v he_o yet_o at_o least_o of_o a_o partial_a favour_n to_o he_o and_o of_o the_o first_o endeavour_n to_o justify_v and_o defend_v he_o after_o the_o neglect_n that_o have_v be_v cast_v upon_o he_o since_o the_o time_n that_o he_o have_v first_o be_v publish_v and_o translate_v by_o philo_n byblius_n or_o else_o of_o philo_n byblius_n himself_o athenaeus_n be_v the_o only_a author_n extant_a that_o quote_v he_o that_o we_o know_v of_o from_o the_o time_n of_o philo_n byblius_n to_o porphyry_n suppose_v that_o the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 3._o who_o phoenician_n antiquity_n be_v quote_v by_o he_o and_o join_v with_o mochus_n another_o very_a ancient_n phoenician_n writer_n often_o take_v notice_n of_o be_v the_o same_o with_o our_o sanchoniathon_n as_o he_o be_v common_o conceive_v to_o be_v and_o i_o believe_v not_o improbable_o though_o he_o in_o athenaeus_n be_v a_o tyrian_a we_o a_o berytian_a a_o difference_n not_o very_a difficulty_n reconcileable_a as_o have_v be_v show_v if_o it_o shall_v prove_v otherwise_o than_o porphyry_n alone_o must_v answer_v for_o both_o not_o only_o the_o pretend_a sanchoniathon_n himself_o but_o the_o pretend_a greek_a translation_n also_o of_o he_o by_o philo_n byblius_n but_o to_o allow_v he_o all_o the_o favour_n that_o be_v reasonable_a and_o to_o grant_v that_o this_o philo_n byblius_n be_v to_o be_v suspect_v of_o the_o original_a fraud_n because_o of_o this_o more_o ancient_a citation_n of_o he_o by_o athenaeus_n which_o can_v have_v be_v from_o none_o but_o philo_n byblius_n yet_o porphyry_n must_v needs_o be_v look_v on_o as_o the_o retriever_n of_o a_o neglect_a and_o therefore_o suspicious_a author_n who_o must_v have_v be_v by_o that_o time_n very_o famous_a if_o he_o have_v be_v think_v genuine_a which_o be_v very_o considerable_a for_o my_o present_a purpose_n §_o iv._o for_o i_o consider_v further_o that_o as_o the_o principle_n both_o of_o the_o pythagoraean_n and_o platonist_n who_o be_v both_o of_o they_o admire_v by_o porphyry_n allow_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o medicinal_a falsehood_n 1._o as_o they_o call_v they_o which_o be_v no_o doubt_n the_o original_a first_o of_o those_o mythological_a story_n with_o which_o they_o first_o beautify_v their_o dialogue_n then_o of_o all_o those_o forgery_n which_o be_v afterward_o introduce_v by_o the_o monk_n who_o from_o their_o first_o institution_n be_v of_o a_o philosophical_a extraction_n and_o genius_n i_o say_v beside_o these_o principle_n which_o may_v let_v we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v possible_a he_o may_v deal_v disingenous_o with_o we_o the_o

it_o be_v purposely_o to_o confront_v the_o antiquity_n of_o the_o scripture_n 11._o and_o in_o that_o very_a work_n which_o be_v design_v to_o overthrow_v the_o credit_n of_o christianity_n the_o like_a i_o shall_v 36._o hereafter_o observe_v concern_v philo_n byblius_n §_o v._n but_o that_o i_o may_v not_o therefore_o conclude_v he_o guilty_a of_o a_o disingenuous_a fact_n only_o because_o
