Verse 2. And Jesus called a little childe]
Nicephorus saith this was Ignatius, who was afterwards Bishop of Antioch; but I am not bound to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 him. It is well known that he is full of fictions. Christ calling for a little childe, who neither 〈◊〉〈◊〉 great things of himself, nor 〈◊〉〈◊〉 great things for himself, rightly and really confutes their 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ambition and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of* 1.1 primacy, and gives 〈◊〉〈◊〉 such a 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 as Tarquin did 〈◊〉〈◊〉* 1.2 son, when, walking in the garden he struck off the heads of the* 1.3 Poppies in the sight of the messenger: and as Periander the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 did Thrasybulus the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Athens, when pulling of the upper ears, he made all the standing corn equall, intima∣ting thereby what a tyrant must doe, that would live 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and quiet.
