(n) Some Authors pretend, that he went into Spain, but this is very uncertain.] St. Athanasius in his Epistle to Dracontius, St. Cyril, Cat. 17. St. Epiphanius, Haeres. 27. St. Chrysostome in Ep. ad Hebr. and in Matth. 76, and Homil. de laud. Pauli, Theodoret in Ep. ad Timot. c. ult. Hier. in 11. Is. Greg. moral. l. 3. c. 22. Isidore, Bede, Ado, &c. are of this opinion. All these Authors lived after the third Century, but before that time nothing is written concerning it, and besides they don't speak of it as a certain thing, but only as a probable conjecture. St. Paul in his Epistle to the Romans, c. 15. v. 24. promises, that he would go into Spain, but though it follows from thence, that he had a design of going thither, yet we cannot ra∣tionally conclude, that he was ever there. Pope Gelatius, and Innocent the first tell us, that he did not perform that promise, and it is very cer∣tain, that the Gospel was preached somewhat la∣ter on this side the Alpes.
