SECT. XII.

THE Feast of Dedication, ordained by Iulas Maccabeus is also alledged by Bellarmine de cult. sanct. li. 3 c. 5. & de Rom. pontli. 4 c. 17 but we need not be so carefull of excusing Ma∣chabeus and those times from all fault. Christ seemeth, saith hee, to approue that feast, Ioh. 10 22, but seemeth, onely, say I. It is said that Christ vvho had been before that time resident in Ieru∣salem, vvas walking in Salomons porch at the Feast of Dedica∣tion, when some Iewes came to aske him vvhether he was the Christ or no; doth it follow that he observed the Feast? As for Danaeus h••••re cited, it hath been shewed before how well he liked of significant ceremonies ordained by man.
