Concerning Nieolas of whom the Revelation of Iohn makes mention, it is Written of him, that he was one of the D•…•…acons Ordained, toge∣ther with Stephen, by the Apostles to Minister unto the Poor, but thus it is Written of him; This Nicolas having a Beautiful Woman to his Wife, after the Ascention of our Saviour, was
accused of Jealousie, and to clear himself of that Crime, he brought forth his Wife and permit∣ted * 1.1 him that listed to Marry her. But his fol∣lowers say that their doing is agreeable with that saying; that is, the Flesh is to be Bridled: And so following that doing and saying without all discretion, they Sin without all shame, in filthy Fornication.
Concerning Iohn, and Philip with his Daugh∣ters, it was wrote thus by Policrates unto the Bishop of Rome, for in Asia (said he) the great Founders of Christian Religion died, who shall rise the last day, at the coming of the Lord * 1.2 when he shall come from Heaven with Glory to gather all the Saints; Philip, one of the twelve Apostles was Buryed at Hierapolis, and two of his Daughters, which led their Lives in Virgi∣nity; And Iohn who leaned on the Breast of our Saviour rested at Ephesus.
