It is he whose pro∣phets fore-told what our owne eyes saw effected: it is he that tolde Abraham, In thy seed shall all the nations be blessed, which the remainders of the haters of Chris∣tianity do know, whether they will or no, to haue beene fulfilled in Christ, •…•…e∣scended from Abraham in the flesh. It is that God whose spirit spake in 〈◊〉〈◊〉 whose prophecies the whole Church beholdeth fulfilled: the whole C•…•… spred ouer the face of the whole earth, beholds them, and in that were t•…•… 〈◊〉〈◊〉 filled, which I related in my former bookes. It is that God whome Varro cal•…•…h the Romaines Ioue, though he know not what he saith, yet this I adde because that so great a scholler thought him to bee neither no God at all, nor one of the meanest, for hee thought that this was the great God of all. Briefly, it is eu•…•…n that God whome that learned Philosopher Prophiry (albeit he was a deadly foe to Christianity) acknowledged to bee the highest God, euen by the Oracles of those whom hee called the inferiour gods.
