CHAP. III. SECT. I.

BEda is the next Author cited Proposition 2. upon Acts 19. as speaking thus:

(as well as my time would per∣mit) and I could find no such testimony of Beda's, so that this is a forged testimony. And as for Beda's judgement in the case; in this second Tome lib. 4. fol. 50. expounding the place, Marke 16. qui vero non crediderit condemnabitur —
