CHAP XVIII. Concerning John the Apostle, and his Revelation.
IN this persecution its reported, that John the Apostle and also Evangelist, who yet lived, was banished into the Isle Patmos upon account of the Testimony he exhibited to the word of God. Indeed, * 1.1Irenaeus, writing concerning the number of the name of Antichrist mentioned in the † 1.2 Revelation of John, does in these very words in his fifth book against Heresies thus speak con∣cerning John:
But if at this present time * 1.3 his name ought publickly to be preached, it would have been spoken of by him who saw the Revela∣tion. For it was seen not a long time since, but almost in our Age, about the latter end of Do∣mitian's Reign.
But so mightily did the do∣ctrine of our faith flourish in those forementioned times, that even those Writers who are wholly estranged from our Religion have not thought it troublesome to set forth in their Histories both this Persecution, and also the Martyrdoms suffered therein. And they have also accurately shown the very time: relating, that in the fifteenth year of Domitian, Flavia Domitilla, daughter of the sister of Flavius Clemens at that time one of the Consuls at Rome, was, together with many others also, banished into the Island Pontia, for the Te∣stimony of Christ.
