Of Attalus's Revelation.
In the aforesaid Epistle, there was a certain Narration contained, concerning one Alcibiades, who lived miserably, feeding only on Bread and Water, when he had determined with him∣self to live in Prison: It was revealed to Atta∣lus, after his first Conflict on the Theater, that Alcibiades did not well, in that he used not the lawful Creatures of God, and also gave an oc∣casion of doubting unto others. Hereof when Alcibiades was perswaded, he used all things in∣differently, and praised God: For they were not destitute of the Grace of God, but had the Holy Ghost for their Director.
