Something concerning Agbarus Prince of the Edesseans With his Epistle to Christ and Christ's Epistle in Answer thereto Also Paul's Epistle to the Laodiceans with the manner of his Death and his Exhortation to his Persecutors A Catalogue of those Scriptures mentioned but not inserted in the Bible As also how several Scriptures are corrupted by the Translators With the Difference betwixt the Old and New Translations AFter that Jesus Christ was made manifest unto all men through the working of Miracles he drew unto him an innumerable sort of Strangers farr distant from Judea afflicted with sundry Diseases and every sort of Maladies hoping to recover their health of which number King Agbarus Governour of the famous Nations inhabiting beyond the River Euphrates grievously diseased in body incurable by mans cunning hearing the renowned Fame of Jesus the wonderful works which he wrought agreeable unto the same published of all men wrote unto him by letters requiring deliverance from his Disease Jesus though not presently yeilded unto his desire vouchsafed to answer him by an Epistle that shortly he would send one of his Disciples which should cure his Disease promising withal that he should not only cure his Disease but as many as belonged unto him which promise he not long after performed for after his Resurrection Thomas one of the twelve Apostles sent his Brother Thaddaus accounted among the seventy Disciples of Christ by Divine Inspiration into the City Edessa to be a Preacher of the Doctrine of Christ by whom all things which concerned the promise of Christ were performed The Reader hath an approved Testimony of these things in writing taken out of the recorded Monuments of the Princely City Edessa for there are found inrowled in their publique Registry things of Antiquity and which were done about Agbarus's time yea and preserved unto this day there is no reason to the contrary but that we may have the Epistles themselves copyed out of their Registry and translated by us out of the Syrian Tongue in this manner The Epistle of Agbarus unto our Saviour AGbarus Governour of Edessa unto Jesus the good Saviour shewing himself in Jerusalem sendeth greeting I have heard of thee and of thy Cures which thou hast done without Medicines and Herbs for as the report goeth thou makest the Blind to see the Lame to go the Lepers thou clensest foul Spirits and Devils thou castest out and long diseased thou restorest to health and raisest the Dead to Life When that I heard these things of thee imagined with my self one of these two things either that thou art God come from Heaven and dost these things or the Son of God that bringeth these things to pass Wherefore by these my Letters I beseech thee to take the pains to come unto me and that thou wilt cure this my grievous Malady wherewith I am sore vexed I have heard moreover that the Jews murmur against thee and go about to mischief thee I have here a little City and an honest which will suffice us both These things he wrote after this manner being a little lightned from above I think it also not amiss to hear the Letters of Jesus sent back to Agharus by the same Bearer The Epistle of Christ unto Agbarus AGbarus blessed art thou because thou hast believed in me when thou sawest me not for it is written of me That they which see me shall not believe in me that they which see me not may believe and be saved Concerning that thou wrotest unto me that I should come unto thee I let thee understand that all things touching my Message are here to be fulfilled and after the fulness thereof I am to return again unto him that sent me But after my Ascension I will send one of my Disciples unto thee which shall cure thy Malady and restore life to thee and them that be with thee Vnto these Epistles there were also these things added in the Syrian Tongue When Jesus was taken up Judas which also is called Thomas sent unto him Thaddaus the Apostle one of the seventy who when he came remained with one Tobias the son of Tobias When that the fame was spread of him and that he was made manifest by the Miracles which he wrought it was signified unto Agbarus and said The Apostle of Jesus is come of whom he wrote unto thee Thaddaus by that time began through the Power of God to cure every sort and sickness that all men greatly marvelled Agbarus hearing of the weighty and wonderful Works which he wrought that he cured in the Name and Power of Jesus forthwith suspected the same to be he of whom Jesus had written saying After mine Ascension I will send one of my Disciples unto thee which shall cure thy Malady And when he had called to him Tobias where Thaddaus lodged he said unto him I here say that a certain mighty Man come from Jerusalem is lodged with thee and cureth many in the Name of Jesus who made answer and said yea there came a certain Stranger and lodged at my house which hath done wonderful things to whom the King said Bring him unto me Tobias returning unto Thaddaus said unto him Agbarus the Governour sent for me and commanded that I should bring thee unto him that thou mayest cure his Disease Thaddaus answered I go for it is for his sake that I am sent thus mightily to work Tobias bestirring betimes the next day took with him Thaddaus and came to Agbarus as he came even at his entrance there appeared unto Agbarus in the presence of his cheif men a great and strang shew in the countenance of Thaddaus the Apostle at which sight Agbarus did reverence unto Thaddaus so that all they that were presence marvelled none of them saw the sight save Agbarus alone which questioned with Thaddaus and said Art thou of a truth a Disciple of Jesus the Son of God who made me this promise I will send unto thee one of my Disciples which shall cure thy Disease and shew life unto thee and all thine To whom Thaddaus made answer Because thou hast greatly believed in the Lord Jesus which sent me therefore am I sent unto thee but in case thou believe in him as yet thy hearty desires according unto thy saith thou shalt obtain to whom Agbarus said I have continued so believing in him that I could have found in my heart mightily to destroy the Jews which crucified him were not the Roman Empire a let unto my purpose Thaddaus said again our Lord and God Jesus Christ fulfilled the will of his Father which being finished he is ascended unto him Agbarus answered and I have believed in him and in his Father to whom Thaddaus replyed therefore in the Name of the self same Lord Jesus I lay my hand upon thee which when he had done he was forthwith cured of his Malady and delivered of the pain that pressed him sore Agbarus marvelled at this that 〈◊〉 it was reported to him of Jesus so in truth by
