Of Theudas the Sorcorer.
There was a certain Sorcerer named Theu∣das (of whom the Scripture makes mention Acts 5.) who perswaded a great Multitude to follow him unto the River Jordan, bringing with them their whole Substance; for he re∣ported himself to be a Prophet, and that at his Commandment the Rivers should divide it self, parting in the midst, yielding unto them free Passage through; and in so saying, he seduced many who afterwards were suppressed, and Theudas being taken was Beheaded, and his * 1.1 Head was brought to Jerusalem.
