The works of the Reverend and learned John Lightfoot D. D., late Master of Katherine Hall in Cambridge such as were, and such as never before were printed : in two volumes : with the authors life and large and useful tables to each volume : also three maps : one of the temple drawn by the author himself, the others of Jervsalem and the Holy Land drawn according to the author's chorography, with a description collected out of his writings.

Vers. 5.

Prochorus.

Sect. The book of the life of Iohn the Evangelist under his name forged.

Of Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon and Parmenas there is no mention in Scripture. The book that beareth the name of Prochorus, concerning the life, miracles and assumption of John the Evangelist, doth justly bear this brand in its forehead as it stands in Bilioth. Patr. Tom. 7. Historia haec Apocrypha est, fabulosa, & indigna prosus quae legatur. The Author bewrayeth himself to be a Romanist, by the sign of the cross and the local descent cap. 3. by Linus and Domitian disputing about the coming of Christ, and by John Port-Latin, bap. 10. and by other visible signes, although he had thought he had put on a vizor suffi∣cient to have hidden that, when he bringeth in Peter calling John the prime Apostle, even in the beginning of first Chapter. But that none may lose so much time as to read him over, let him take a patern of the rest of his pedlary ware out of the twentieth Chap∣ter, where he bringeth in John writing a letter to the Devil that possessed a man, and by that letter casting him out.
