And thus it is affirmed of Priscilianus, Fatalibus astris homi∣nes alligatos, That men were thralled to the Stars; which last S. Austin doth report of one Colarbus, save that he gave this power and influence only to the Planets.
Ans. Of any such fatalist as Colarbus did I never read. In all Authors that mention him, (which I have met with) he is called Colarbas or Colarbasus, or bassus. Where he was born or where he taught, by all enquiry I have not yet found, but he is commonly joyned with Marcus; whose Heresie was raised out of the Greek Alphabet, subjecting all Men and their Members to the Letters thereof, so as 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 should rule the Head, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 the Neck: perhaps his School-fel∣low Colarbasus thought it less irrational to subject us to the Planets.

However the Emperor did take cognizance of the cause, put Priscilianus, Felicissimus, Armenius, Latronianus and also Euchrocia (a noted woman) to death, banished In∣stantius and Tyberianus into our Isle of Sylly: But in all the
