Plotinus

moste

of
his
life

him
.
The
Alters
of
Plotinus
be
yet
warme
,
and
his
bookes
,
in
the
hands
of
the
learned
,
more
then
Plato
,
and
the
common
forte
though
they
reade
not
his
precepts
,
yet
they
forme
their
liues
according
to
the
same
.
Porphyrius
did
expresse
euery
part
of
his
life
so
,
as
no
man
can
say
more
.
Yea
it
seemeth
he
did
interpret
many
of
his
bookes
.
But
the
life
of
Porphyrius
,
no
man
,
that
I
know
,
hath
hithertoo
written
.
Therefore
as
much
as
I
can
gather
by
tokens
according
to
my
knowledge
,
thus
much
haue
I
learned
of
him
.
Porphyrius
.
TYrus
was
the
Countrey
of
Tyros
.
Porphyrius
,
an
interpretor
of

,
in

Christians

Porphyrius
,
the

City
of
the
auncient
Phenitians
.
His
parentes
were
of
good
estate
.
He
being
brought
vp
in
learning
,
proceeded
and
continued
,
till
he
was
Longinus
Scholler
,
and
in
short
time
,
was
an
ornament
to
his
Maister
.
Longinus
was
at
that
time
a
liuely
library
,
and
a
florishing
studye
,
to
whom
authoritie
was
giuen
to
iudge
of
the
former
learned
men
,
as
before
him
diuerse
Longinus
was
accompted
with
the
moste
extellent
Porphirius
being
thus
instructed
;
and
in
great
expectation
of
all
men
,
had
a
great
desire
to
see
Rome
,
that
was
Ladye
of
the
worlde
,
that
he
might
winne
that
Cittie
to
the
study
of
Sapience
,
beyng
come
,
and
entred
into
societie
with
the
great
Plotinus
,
he
refused
all
other
,
and
gaue
himselfe
wholy
to
him
:
of
whose
doctrine
being
greedy
with
out
sarietie
,
as
himselfe
saide
,
he
spent
the
time
in
hearing
of
those
deuine
lessous
,
that
issewed
from
that
flowing
Fountaine
.
At
length
being
ouercome
with
the
vehemencie
of
those
speeches
,
it
greeued
him
he
had
a
body
,
and
was
mortall
:
he
sayled
into
Cicilia
,
by
the
rocke
,
Carybdis
,
where
,
they
say
,
Vilisses
passed
,
but
he
could
abide
to
see
no
Cittie
,
nor
here
mens
voyces
.
So
dyd
he
leaue
delight
and
dis●●se
and
went
to
Lelibaeuin
,
The
great
Plotinus
was
not
deceyued
herein
,
but
eyther
by
following
his
steppes
,
or
seeking
for
him
,
But
the
secretes
of
Philosophie
,
being
hydden
,
as
Poetry
in
Fables
,
Porphyrius
,
finding
the
remedy
to
make
them
manifest
:
with
praise
of
his
experience
,
dyd
write
a
Treatise
of
them
,
and
gaue
lyght
vnto
them
.
Then
he
returned
to
Rome
,
and
renewed
his
study
,
shewing
proofe
of
it
publiquely
.
The
glory
of
Porphyrius
,
redounded
to
Plorinus
,
by
whome
,
both
the
Senate
and
the
people
knew
,
he
was
enstructed
.
Plotinus
seemed
harde
&
darke
,
for
the
diuine
and
obscure
subtiltie
of
his
wordes
and
workes
.
But
Porphyrius
,
as
a
Cheane
of
Mercury
,
ful
of
variety
of
learning
,
sent
among
men
,
declared
euery
thing
,
firmly
and
plainly
.
For
he
sayth
in
a
place
,
which
,
paradventure
)
he
wrote
when
he
was
young
,
that
he
had
Origenes
,
Amelius
,
and
Aquilinus
,
and
that
they
wrote
It
seemeth
he
was
maried
to
Marcella
,
for
there
is
a
Booke
directed
to
Marcella
his
wife
:
whome
he
sayth
,
he
maryed
,
being
mother
to
liue
Children
,
not
to
haue
Chyldren
by
her
,
but
to
teach
her
Chyldren
which
she
had
by
a
friend
of
his
.
It
seemeth
also
he
lyued
tyll
he
was
olde
,
wherby
he
left
some
workes
contrary
to
his
former
wrytings
.
Of
the
which
I
can
not
iudge
the
cause
,
but
that
in
tyme
he
thought
otherwyse
.
They
say
he
dyed
at
Rome
,
at
which
tyme
,
Paulus
and
Andromacus
of
Syria
,
were
rectors
Galienus
,
Claudius
,
Tacitus
,
Aurelianus
,
and
Probus
.
In
whose
dayes
,
Dexippus
lyued
,
Jamblicus
.
NExt
these
,
Iamblicus
was
the
Philosopher
of
most
fame
.
He
was
of
For
there
was
Sopater
of
Syria
,
who
was
most
eloquent
in
worde
and
wryting
.
Aedesius
and
Eustathius
of
Cappadocia
.
Theodorus
and
Euphrasius
of
Grecia
,
which
excelled
in
vertue
,
Furthermore
,
he
shewed
great
demonstration
of
his
diuine
knowledge
,
after
this
sorte
.
The
Sunne
dyd
shew
vpon
the
extreme
partes
of
the
Orizon
,
when
he
entreth
into
the
sygne
of
the
Dogge
,
at
which
tyme
a
Sacrifice
was
woont
to
be
made
in
one
of
the
Suburbs
.
And
when
all
was
well
fynished
,
they
returned
into
the
Cittie
,
going
leysurely
,
for
they
had
a
talke
of
God
,
agreeing
with
the
Sacrifice
.
Than
the
voyce
fayled
,
and
he
fyxing
his
eyes
on
the
ground
for
a
tyme
:
looked
vpon
his
friends
,
and
cryed
to
them
.
Let
vs
go
another
way
:
for
a
dead
body
is
caryed
not
farre
of
.
When
he
had
thus
sayde
,
he
tooke
another
way
,
as
he
thought
,
more
pure
.
Some
followed
him
,
thynking
it
a
shame
to
leaue
their
Maister
.
But
the
more
part
,
and
youthfull
sort
,
among
whome
was
Aedesius
,
thought
it
a
superstitious
poynt
,
and
lyke
Houndes
that
hunted
after
their
game
,
went
on
their
way
.
They
had
not
gone
farre
,
but
they
met
with
the
buriers
of
the
dead
Corps
,
&
dyd
not
leaue
it
so
,
but
asked
them
if
they
went
that
way
,
they
sayde
,
they
must
needes
,
for
there
was
none
other
.
This
dyd
the
more
testify
his
diuine
knowledge
,
as
there
was
no
vse
of
syght
,
but
a
secrete
knowledge
by
odour
.
They
would
haue
tryed
it
in
a
greater
matter
,
but
Iamblicus
tolde
them
it
was
not
in
his
power
,
but
at
tyme
of
opportunity
.
Not
long
after
,
it
seemed
good
to
them
to
go
to
Gadara
,
the
season
seruing
,
to
the
Bathe

great
cunning
,
gather
,
that
he
did
wonder
at
the

and
allowed
his

no
Nauie
can
well
enter
the
Port
,
vnlesse
a
vehement
southwinde
bloweth
,
which
hapneth
oft
by
reason
of
the
scite
of
the
Mountaynes
.
The
Commons
,
being
styrred
by
famine
,
a
rare
prayse
of
a
dronken
people
:
assembled
in
the
Theatre
,
wherof
the
Emperour
was
abashed
.
Then
the
olde
enuiours
hauing
got
a
very
good
occasion
,
sayd
:
Sopater
,
whome
thou
honourest
,
hath
tyed
the
wyndes
,
by
his
exceeding
wisdome
,
which
thou
doest
so
prayse
,
and
for
the
which
,
thou
settest
him
in
royall
place
.
Constantine
hearing
this
,
and
mooued
at
it
,
commaunded
Sopater
to
be
put
to
death
:
which
,
by
his
euyl
willers
,
was
sooner
done
then
spoken
.
Ablabius
,
I
,
minding
to
shew
the
lyues
of
notable
men
,
as
I
said
before
,
which
I
could
learn
by
Fame
,
may
not
omyt
to
shew
the
hard
haps
&
mifortunes
that
they
had
.
Ablabius
,
that
wrought
the
murder
,
was
of
very
base
lynage
,
&
touching
his
Father
,
one
of
the
lower
sort
.
There
is
a
tale
in
mens
mindes
,
and
no
man
doth
reproue
it
,
that
an
Aegiptian
,
comming
from
that
part
of
Egipt
,
that
is
called
Mendesio
,
to
Constantinople
:
and
as
all
Aegiptians
are
learned
to
be
impudent
in
their
iourneys
,
in
common
wayes
,
and
he
had
learned
to
play
that
part
at
home
:
He
entred
into
one
of
the
Innes
,
&
being
very
hungry
&
thyrsty
,
with
his
long
way
,
commaunded
sweete
Wine
to
be
brought
him
,
and
shewed
syluer
.
The
Hostesse
of
the
house
,
being
glad
of
gaines
,
went
for
it
speedely
.
The
wife
was
one
of
them
that
bringeth
Chyldwomen
a
bed
.
Whyle
she
brought
that
Cuppe
to
the
Aegiptian
full
But
when
she
had
tolde
him
wherabout
she
was
,
he
d●syred
ratherto
heare
of
the
Chylds
byrth
,
then
to
aslak●
his
thyrst
,
that
he
might
tell
the
Fortune
of
it
.
When
he
had
learned
the
instant
,
he
cried
alowde
,
go
&
tell
the
woman
,
that
her
chyld
shal
be
lytle
inferiour
to
a
King
:
when
he
had
sayd
this
,
he
dranke
vp
his
drinke
,
and
tolde
his
name
to
the
woman
.
The
Chyld
was
called
Ablabius
,
and
proued
a
ball
of
Fortune
:
for
he
might
rule
the
Emperour
,
&
caused
Sopater
to
dye
for
a
matter
of
lesse
waight
than
Socrates
dyd
,
as
one
that
ruled
an
vnruly
people
.
This
Constantius
honored
Ablabius
,
&
was
plagued
for
it
:
how
he
died
,
it
is
written
in
his
life
.
He
left
his
sonne
Constantius
to
be
gouerned
of
Ablabius
,
and
he
raigned
in
his
Fathers
kingdom
,
with
Constans
&
Constantine
his
Brethren
,
which
is
more
plainly
set
forth
in
the
life
of
diuine
Iulianus
.
Constantinus
,
entring
his
raygne
and
receyuing
such
portion
,
which
was
from
Ellyria
to
Nisibe
,
put
Ablabius
from
his
authority
.
He
lyued
in
Bithynia
,
at
a
place
,
which
he
had
princely
builded
for
rest
&
quietnesse
,
men
marueling
that
he
had
geuen
ouer
his
authority
.
Constantius
sent
certaine
souldiours
from
the
Cittie
that
beareth
his
Fathers
name
,
commaunding
the
former
,
to
delyuer
his
Letters
with
reuerence
,
which
is
to
kneele
after
the
Romaine
manner
,
when
they
speake
to
the
Emperour
.
He
receyuing
the
Letters
with
great
pryde
,
desyred
This
comming
to
passe
,
and
diuine
prouidence
not
forsaking
men
,
only
Aedesius
was
left
of
great
name
.
He
trusted
to
a
diuination
,
which
he
had
by
prayer
,
which
was
after
this
sort
by
dr●ame
.
A
God
came
downe
to
his
prayers
,
and
vttred
his
diuine
sentence
by
verse
of
syxe
feete
:
at
the
which
he
being
amased
,
and
his
syght
fayling
him
,
studyed
to
remember
the
wordes
.
But
the
obscure
and
heauenly
matter
was
out
of
his
memory
,
therfore
he
called
his
Chylde
,
minding
to
wash
his
face
and
eyes
with
water
.
The
Boy
tolde
him
that
his
left
hand
was
full
of
Letters
.
He
saw
and
vnderstoode
it
was
a
diuine
thing
:
And
so
worshypping
his
hand
,
he
did
see
wryting
,
which
was
an
Oracle
after
this
sort
.
By
destiny
,
this
lyfe
is
geuen
to
thee
,
Eternall
Fame
,
if
thou
a
rule
wylt
bee
:
To
yong
mens
mindes
,
that
Citties
doth
frequent
,
And
to
the
schoole
,
of
Sapience
are
bent
.
But
if
in
fieldes
,
an
Heardman
thou
wylt
bee
,
The
Gods
that
way
,
wyll
also
honour
thee
.
He
choosing
to
follow
the
better
way
,
found
out
a
lytle
house
,
and
followed
Shepheards
trade
.
Schollers
that
were
desyrous
of
his
learning
,
vnderstanding
where
he
lay
,
came
thyther
with
an
vnpleasant
noyse
,
lyke
the
howling
of
Dogges
,
and
besette
the
same
house
with
threatnings
,
that
they
would
teare
him
a
peeces
,
if
he
would
not
impart
his
knowledge
to
them
,
but
suffer
it
to
be
hydden
among
Mountaines
and
Forrestes
,
as
though
he
neyther
was
a
man
,
nor
had
the
shape
of
a
man
.
By
this
violence
he
came
abrode
among
men
,
&
tooke
the
worst
way
.
He
left
Cappadocia
,
delyuering
his
charge
to
Eustathius
,
Touching
Eustathius
,
it
were
a
sinne
,
not
to
tell
the
trueth
.
Euery
man
confessed
that
he
was
of
good
conditions
,
and
of
great
eloquence
.
For
in
his
tongue
and
lyppes
,
was
such
a
pleasantnes
,
as
it
seemed
to
be
a
poynet
of
wytchery
,
such
a
sweetnes
was
in
his
wordes
,
and
wrought
so
much
,
as
they
that
hearde
Wherfore
the
Emperour
,
albeit
he
was
geuen
to
reade
the
Christians
workes
,
sent
for
him
.
He
was
lyke
now
to
haue
busynes
,
for
that
the
King
of
Persia
moued
warre
,
and
besieged
Antiochia
,
and
at
a
soden
Notwithstanding
,
the
former
Emperours
were
w●●nt
to
send
of
their
great
Counsellours
for
Embassadours
,
or
some
of
the
mighty
Capitaines
,
or
other
of
authority
.
But
in
this
extreme
necessitie
,
in
all
mens
iudgements
,
Eustathius
was
thought
most
meete
.
Wherfore
being
sent
for
of
the
Emperour
,
he
obeyed
.
And
such
an
eloquence
proceeded
from
him
,
as
the
Emperour
rewarded
all
them
with
great
honours
,
that
moued
him
first
to
call
him
,
and
them
he
vsed
with
more
good
wyll
.
Some
,
voluntarily
accompanied
him
with
their
presence
,
in
the
Embassadge
,
to
haue
more
experience
of
him
:
or
to
see
the
effect
of
his
eloquence
,
among
the
Barbarians
.
Being
come
into
Persia
,
the
acc●sse
to
the
King
was
as
dangerous
But
this
Embassadour
was
beyond
all
hope
.
For
this
I
know
well
,
that
all
Gretia
desired
to
see
him
,
and
prayed
God
for
his
returne
.
The
Oracles
did
agree
with
these
misfortunes
,
when
their
prayers
fayled
,
for
he
dyd
not
returne
.
The
Gretians
sent
vnto
him
,
and
chose
most
wyse
men
to
be
the
messengers
.
Their
minde
was
to
talke
with
the
great
Eustathius
,
which
thing
came
not
to
passe
,
according
to
the
tokens
.
He
hearing
so
shylfull
and
learned
men
,
consydered
deepely
of
the
matter
,
&
did
examine
the
magnitude
,
the
tyme
,
and
forme
of
the
Stars
.
Then
smyling
,
he
came
among
them
,
and
when
he
had
heard
them
,
to
whom
he
would
not
fayne
,
neither
by
conference
,
nor
cloquence
,
he
sayd
.
But
these
dyd
not
promise
my
returne
.
Yet
I
thinke
God
answereth
contrary
to
mens
request
.
For
he
sheweth
that
the
tokens
were
lesse
and
slower
,
than
could
do
any
good
.
This
Eustathius
so
notable
a
man
,
dyd
marry
Sosipatra
,
who
excelled
When
she
was
fiue
yeares
olde
,
two
auncient
men
,
being
past
all
the
termes
of
youth
,
and
the
one
elder
then
the
other
,
came
into
the
Manour
of
Sosypatras
Father
,
with
their
skryppes
and
bagges
.
And
obtayned
of
the
Farmour
to
haue
the
ouersyght
of
the
Vineyard
,
which
was
easily
graunted
them
.
The
encrease
growing
aboue
all
hope
,
and
the
owner
being
come
with
his
Daughter
,
he
wondred
at
the
abundance
,
thinking
it
to
be
done
by
myracle
.
Therfore
he
commaunded
the
Farmour
to
bring
them
to
the
Table
,
where
he
made
them
good
cheere
,
and
rebuked
his
seruants
,
that
they
could
not
do
the
lyke
.
The
two
olde
men
being
so
well
vsed
at
a
Gretians
Table
,
&
maruelously
delighted
with
the
beuty
of
his
daughter
,
said
.
Other
things
we
keepe
in
secrete
:
and
this
prayse
,
of
goodwyll
,
as
a
tryfle
and
iest
,
with
a
contempt
of
the
things
that
we
haue
encreased
.
But
if
thou
wylt
be
rewarded
of
vs
for
this
cheere
and
hospitality
,
not
with
mony
,
nor
thanks
that
may
quaile
and
corrupt
,
but
with
a
celestiall
gyfte
that
shall
flowe
from
the
starres
,
vpon
thee
and
thy
lyfe
,
geue
vs
this
Hosipatra
,
as
Nurses
and
Fathers
indeede
.
And
for
fyue
yeares
,
feare
nothing
for
thy
chylde
,
touching
death
,
but
be
quiet
and
at
rest
.
Care
not
for
the
tylling
of
the
grounde
these
fyue
yeares
,
by
the
course
of
the
Sunne
.
For
of
it selfe
,
ryches
shall
growe
of
this
grounde
and
encrease
.
And
thy
Daughter
shall
not
be
as
an
humaine
woman
,
but
thou
shalt
conceyue
a
greater
opinion
of
her
.
Therfore
,
if
thou
hast
good
wyll
,
receyue
with
both
hands
,
that
we
haue
offred
.
But
if
thou
hast
any
suspition
,
we
haue
sayd
nothing
.
The
Father
in
feare
&
sylence
,
delyuered
his
daughter
to
them
,
and
calling
his
Farmor
,
sayde
.
Whatsoeuer
these
olde
men
require
,
let
them
haue
it
,
and
medle
no
further
.
When
he
had
thus
sayd
,
he
departed
before
day
,
as
forsaking
both
his
house
and
his
Daughter
.
They
receyuing
the
chylde
,
whether
they
were
wyse
men
,
or
Spyrites
of
rare
diuine
kinde
,
with
what
mysteries
they
brought
vp
the
young
Mayde
,
no
man
can
tell
,
and
it
is
in
certaine
,
though
the
search
be
great
,
with
what
diuination
they
inspyred
the
Chylde
.
The
tyme
appoynted
was
come
,
and
euery
thing
prooued
of
the
ground
,
as
was
spoken
.
The
Father
was
come
,
and
knew
not
his
Daughter
.
Neyther
for
the
growth
of
her
person
,
nor
for
the
encrease
of
her
beautie
.
And
she
knewe
not
her
Father
,
he
saluting
her
so
reuerently
,
as
though
he
had
saluted
a
Straunger
.
When
the
Teachers
were
come
,
and
the
table
couered
,
they
sayde
.
Aske
the
Virgin
what
you
wyll
.
Aske
,
O
Father
what
hath
chaunced
all
your
iourney
.
He
geuing
her
leaue
to
speake
,
she
tolde
him
all
the
happes
that
he
had
had
in
his
Chariot
,
The
Goddes
be
turned
to
diuers
shapes
,
as
please
them
nowe
and
then
:
When
Cities
they
wyll
cause
to
seeme
,
a
race
of
new
founde
men
.
For
he
thought
that
Goddes
woulde
be
turned
to
straunge
men
.
And
being
rauished
with
the
thing
,
he
fel
a
sleepe
.
They
going
from
Supper
,
and
taking
the
Child
with
them
,
deliuered
vnto
her
very
gently
,
the
Robe
wherwith
she
was
inuested
with
knowledge
,
to
the
which
they
added
diuerse
other
ornaments
.
They
wylled
her
to
locke
the
Casket
,
wherin
all
these
things
were
put
,
&
gaue
her
certaine
bookes
besyde
.
She
honoured
them
no
lesse
then
her
Father
.
Day
being
come
,
and
the
doores
opened
,
and
men
gone
to
their
worke
,
they
also
went
out
as
they
were
woont
.
The
Chyld
ranne
to
her
father
,
carying
her
Casket
,
and
good
newes
.
He
hauing
learned
of
his
seruaunts
what
increase
he
had
,
and
what
was
to
be
done
,
called
for
the
men
:
But
they
were
gone
,
and
no
more
seene
.
Then
he
sayde
to
Sosipatra
:
what
meaneth
this
,
O
Daughter
?
She
staying
a
whyle
,
sayd
.
Now
I
remember
what
they
sayd
at
their
delyuering
of
me
these
things
,
weeping
.
Looke
daughter
,
for
we
must
go
to
the
west
Oceane
,
and
shortly
returne
againe
.
The
which
doth
manifestly
declare
that
they
be
Spirits
.
And
whether
soeuer
they
be
gone
,
thus
they
went
from
me
.
The
father
esteeming
his
chyld
to
be
sacred
with
diuine
modesty
,
suffred
her
to
lyue
as
she
would
,
not
,
much
moued
with
her
,
but
for
her
sylence
.
When
she
was
come
to
rype
yeares
,
she
had
without
booke
,
the
bookes
of
Poets
,
hauing
none
other
Teachers
,
&
of
Philosophers
,
and
Oratours
.
And
that
,
which
others
can
hardly
get
with
labour
and
trauayle
of
minde
:
she
,
without
study
,
did
expresse
with
pleasure
.
Mynding
to
marry
,
she
thought
Eustathius
only
fyt
for
her
.
Therfore
,
thus
she
spake
to
Eustathius
,
and
them
that
were
present
.
Heare
me
Eustathius
,
and
be
you
wytnesse
that
be
here
.
I
shall
haue
three
Chyldren
by
thee
:
and
as
touching
Thou
shalt
not
teach
,
nor
play
the
Philosopher
,
fully
fiue
yeares
,
for
so
thy
Phisnognomy
telleth
me
.
But
vnder
the
Moone
thou
shalt
haue
place
with
good
and
quiet
motion
.
I
would
say
somewhat
of
my selfe
,
but
that
I
see
the
tyme
would
be
to
short
for
my
speech
:
and
my
destiny
doth
forbyd
me
.
When
she
had
thus
spoken
,
fate
so
forcing
,
she
was
Aedesius
for
good
wyll
,
taught
her
chyldren
Philosophy
,
Philometer
her
Nephew
,
being
ouercome
with
her
Maximus
was
not
a
lytle
proude
,
as
being
spoken
to
from
a
Goddesse
,
that
such
a
one
should
committe
such
a
matter
to
him
.
Philometer
continued
in
his
purpose
.
Maximus
sought
out
the
matter
by
Sacrifice
,
and
tooke
great
paines
in
a
trifling
cause
.
When
he
had
done
,
he
went
to
Sosipatra
,
and
asked
her
,
if
she
were
styll
troubled
.
She
sayde
no
:
And
tolde
his
inuocation
,
his
Sacrifice
,
and
all
the
doing
,
and
tyme
,
as
if
she
had
bene
present
at
the
appearing
of
all
the
visions
.
Then
he
fell
to
the
ground
astonished
,
and
sayde
she
was
a
Goddesse
.
Arise
,
Sonne
(
sayd
she
)
for
the
Gods
loue
thee
,
because
thou
honourest
them
,
and
doest
not
esteeme
the
worldly
and
vaine
ryches
.
When
he
heard
this
,
he
went
forth
with
great
opinion
of
him selfe
,
that
he
had
the
praise
of
so
diuine
a
person
.
Philometer
with
his
companions
gladsome
,
met
him
at
the
gate
.
Maximus
a
far
off
spake
to
him
.
O
friende
Philometer
:
leaue
to
burne
wood
in
vaine
,
as
though
he
knew
what
Sorcery
he
went
about
.
He
thinking
he
heard
God
speake
,
honoured
Maximus
,
and
left
his
practise
,
despising
the
purpose
he
had
taken
in
hande
.
From
henceforth
,
Sosipatra
loued
him
purely
,
and
so
dyd
he
,
her
.
And
chauncing
,
that
they
being
all
with
her
,
except
Philometer
,
who
was
at
his
pastime
:
they
fell
into
a
disputation
of
the
soule
,
of
the
which
,
diuerse
argumentes
were
made
.
When
Sosipatra
spake
,
she
confuted
the
former
opinions
,
with
euident
demonstrations
.
Then
she
entreated
of
the
soule
generally
.
What
part
was
punishable
,
&
what
,
immortall
,
like
one
that
had
bene
rapt
with
a
diuine
furie
.
And
as
she
had
sayde
,
sodenly
she
held
her
peace
,
lyke
one
in
a
traunce
.
And
staying
a
lytle
,
she
cryed
:
Alack
,
my
cosyn
Philometer
,
ryding
in
his
Chariot
,
is
ouerthrowen
,
in
a
very
slippery
and
vnequall
place
.
He
was
in
daunger
of
breaking
his
legges
,
but
his
seruants
were
diligent
&
saued
him
:
yet
is
he
hurt
in
his
hands
,
and
his
shoulders
,
but
without
daunger
,
he
is
set
vp
againe
,
and
calleth
on
the
Gods.
This
she
sayd
,
and
it
was
so
.
All
men
thought
,
Sosipatra
was
in
euery
place
,
and
knew
euery
thing
,
as
Philosophers
affyrmeth
of
the
Gods.
She
dyed
,
leauing
three
chyldren
.
Of
two
of
their
Hesiodus
,
)
as
certaine
influences
of
Stars
,
and
dyd
enter
into
another
kinde
of
Philosophers
,
and
there
remained
.
To
whom
that
study
was
a
profyt
,
being
alwayes
at
the
barre
,
as
Socrates
in
Athens
,
at
the
Porch
royall
,
and
by
that
meanes
contemned
mony
,
Yet
one
of
her
Chyldren
,
Antoninus
by
name
,
of
whom
I
spake
before
,
remaining
at
Alexandria
,
was
Alexandria
,
was
a
populous
Citty
,
&
for
the
Temple
of
Scrapis
,
an
holy
habitation
,
vnto
the
which
they
It
was
seene
not
long
after
,
that
there
was
a
diuine
knowledge
in
him
.
For
he
was
no
sooner
dead
,
but
the
deuotion
of
Alexandria
,
and
the
Temple
of
Serapis
was
destroyed
.
And
not
only
the
Religion
,
but
the
houses
and
all
things
was
fordoone
.
As
in
Poeticall
Fables
,
of
the
force
of
Gyants
.
And
the
Temples
at
Canopus
,
suffred
the
lyke
.
For
Theodosius
,
Who
among
the
cruell
Gyants
,
Was
one
of
all
the
chiefest
Tyrants
.
And
Venereus
,
ciuill
gouernour
,
hauing
the
charge
of
the
Romaine
army
in
Egipt
,
wreaked
their
te●ne
vpon
stones
,
and
workers
of
stones
:
destroyed
the
Temple
of
Serapis
,
and
spoyled
holy
things
,
making
warre
without
warning
,
and
getting
victory
without
resystance
.
Thus
they
warred
against
pyctures
and
paintings
,
not
onely
beating
them
down
,
but
ransaking
them
,
making
it
a
discipline
of
warre
,
to
hyde
euery
stolne
thing
.
Only
the
pauement
of
the
Temples
remayned
,
which
they
could
not
carry
away
for
heap●s
of
stones
.
Thus
these
valiant
warriours
,
kept
their
hands
without
bloud
,
but
not
without
Gold.
Glorying
,
they
had
ouercome
Gods
,
and
boasting
in
committing
of
sacriledge
&
imp●ety
.
They
brought
into
these
holy
places
,
them
that
they
call
Monks
,
in
shape
,
men
:
but
in
lyfe
,
beasts
.
Openly
committing
and
doing
wicked
euylles
,
not
to
be
spoken
.
And
it
is
a
poynct
of
their
holynesse
,
to
destroy
holy
places
.
Euery
man
now
,
had
tyrannicall
power
,
that
would
weare
a
blacke
garment
,
and
be
seene
abroade
in
vnseemely
array
.
To
such
an
opinion
of
vertue
were
men
brought
,
of
the
which
we
speake
in
the
most
part
of
our
Historie
.
They
did
place
Monks
at
Canobus
,
that
mortall
slaues
,
should
be
honoured
in
steede
of
immortall
Gods
,
and
mens
mynds
be
entangled
with
vngodly
matter
.
Some
of
their
heads
that
were
punished
for
their
great
offences
,
were
saltyd
,
&
shewed
as
Gods
to
be
honoured
:
although
as
theeues
,
they
had
bene
punished
.
Men
thought
them selues
the
better
,
when
they
erred
in
going
to
the
Sepulchres
.
They
were
called
Martyrs
,
Deacons
,
and
Legates
of
the
prayers
that
were
made
to
God
,
being
vyle
slaues
,
and
branded
for
their
faultes
,
carying
the
scarres
of
their
whyppings
,
as
markes
of
their
lewdnesse
.
Yet
the
earth
bringeth
forth
such
Gods.
This
dyd
confyrme
the
great
diuination
of
Antoninus
,
saying
:
that
Temples
should
be
made
Sepulchres
.
The
great
Iamblicus
,
as
we
wrote
in
his
lyfe
,
when
one
had
raysed
Apollo
,
and
euery
man
afrayde
that
saw
him
,
he
came
among
them
and
sayde
,
maruayle
no
more
good
friendes
,
for
this
is
the
Image
of
a
Sword
player
.
So
diuerse
is
it
to
see
a
thing
with
the
minde
,
and
with
the
deceyptfull
eyes
of
the
body
.
Iamblicus
told
the
present
euyll
.
But
Antoninus
,
the
things
that
were
to
come
.
Which
thing
onely
was
cause
of
his
griefe
.
For
he
came
to
a
quiet
ende
in
olde
age
,
without
any
sicknesse
:
but
it
was
greeuous
and
heauy
to
good
men
,
for
the
ruines
of
the
Temples
.
Maximus
.
WE
haue
made
mention
of
Maximus
before
,
&
the
wryter
hereof
did
see
him
:
and
came
to
his
company
when
he
was
olde
,
and
heard
his
voyce
,
which
was
,
as
if
one
had
heard
Homers
,
Minerua
,
or
Apollo
.
The
balles
of
his
eyes
were
rollyng
.
His
beard
was
long
.
His
looke
declared
the
vehemency
of
his
minde
.
It
was
a
ioy
to
heare
him
,
or
see
him
.
With
both
sences
dyd
he
pearce
his
company
,
that
could
not
abyde
the
sharpnesse
of
his
eyes
,
nor
the
swiftnesse
of
his
tongue
.
There
was
none
so
well
learned
or
eloquent
in
his
company
,
that
durst
speake
against
him
.
But
being
sylent
,
they
depended
vpon
his
wordes
,
as
an
Oracle
.
So
great
a
sweetnesse
sate
in
his
lyps
.
He
was
come
of
good
house
and
wealthy
.
He
had
Brethren
,
whome
he
would
not
suffer
to
go
before
him
,
he
being
the
fyrst
:
Claudianus
,
who
taught
at
Alexandria
,
and
Nymphidianus
,
who
professed
with
prayse
at
Smyrna
.
This
man
was
taught
by
Aedesius
,
Claudianus
Nymphidianus
.
by
whose
Sapience
he
was
caught
.
And
when
Iulianus
raygned
,
chosen
to
be
Schoolemaister
only
,
all
the
other
being
sequestred
by
Constantius
:
as
we
Constantinus
house
decaying
,
only
Iulianus
was
left
,
who
for
his
tender
age
and
weaknesse
,
was
despysed
.
The
Kings
Vncles
dyd
keepe
him
,
and
obserued
that
he
should
be
a
good
Christian
.
After
the
which
tyme
,
he
shewed
the
docility
of
his
nature
.
Sardis
,
Priscus
of
Thesprotis
or
Molossus
,
and
Eusebius
of
Caria
,
of
the
Cittie
of
Mindo
.
Iulianus
,
in
whome
was
a
sage
youth
,
was
admitted
to
familiaritie
with
Aedesius
,
being
rauished
with
the
sharpnes
and
excellencie
of
his
minde
,
and
would
not
depart
.
Being
lyke
to
them
that
be
stong
with
the
Serpent
Dypsas
,
with
vnsatiable
thyrst
and
desyre
,
Chrysanthius
.
Chrysanthius
was
lynked
with
Maximus
,
in
the
works
of
maruelous
science
by
inspiration
,
leauing
lyberal
arts
.
And
Eusebius
,
when
Maximus
was
present
,
would
not
medle
,
with
the
finenes
of
Logike
,
and
Rhetorike
.
When
he
was
absent
,
he
did
shine
like
a
glittering
Star
,
such
pleasantnes
&
grace
was
in
his
words
.
Chrysanthius
praised
him
,
and
agreed
with
him
,
and
Iulianus
honored
him
.
Eusebius
made
this
conclusion
,
that
those
things
had
being
,
that
were
in
deede
.
But
they
that
deceyue
their
sences
,
be
works
of
Sorc●rers
,
&
of
them
that
dally
with
matters
of
the
earth
,
with
mad
perswasions
.
When
Iulianus
had
heard
this
determination
,
he
called
Chrysanthius
asyde
,
&
sayd
.
If
thou
louest
the
truth
,
tell
me
the
effect
of
this
conclusion
.
He
considering
the
matter
deepely
,
said
.
You
shall
do
best
,
not
to
learne
this
of
me
,
but
of
the
Author
himselfe
.
Which
when
he
heard
,
he
did
so
,
&
made
great
accoumpt
of
Chrysanthius
for
this
aunswer
.
When
they
met
againe
,
Iulianus
spared
not
to
delyuer
the
matter
,
&
boldly
asked
him
,
what
he
meant
by
that
conclusion
:
Then
Eusebius
with
sweete
words
,
sayd
.
Maximus
,
one
of
the
most
auncient
&
best
learned
Auditors
,
for
the
sharpnes
of
his
nature
,
contemned
these
lessons
,
and
gaue
himselfe
to
a
certaine
Magike
.
And
sodenly
called
vs
to
Hecates
Temple
,
where
many
When
diuine
Iulian
had
heard
this
,
he
sayd
.
Farewell
,
and
apply
thy
booke
,
for
thou
hast
tolde
mee
what
I
thought
.
Hauing
thus
sayd
,
and
kyssed
Chrisanthius
,
he
went
to
Ephesus
.
Where
he
accompanied
with
Maximus
,
and
earnestly
studied
his
doctrine
.
But
Maximus
called
to
him
the
learned
Chrysanthius
,
being
scarcely
able
to
teach
the
young
man
sufficiently
in
the
knowledge
of
Sapience
.
Who
being
instructed
of
them
,
and
vnderstanding
that
there
was
Ceres
and
Proserpina
.
more
to
be
learned
in
Grecia
,
of
the
Goddesses
Priests
,
went
thyther
with
speede
.
What
name
the
Priests
had
at
this
tyme
,
it
is
not
meete
sor
me
to
tell
.
For
he
gaue
the
wrighter
orders
,
and
brought
him
into
the
●umolpidaes
●
kinde
of
Priest●
,
bearing
name
of
their
king
Eumolpus
.
fellowshyp
of
the
Eumolpidaes
.
He
foresaw
the
destruction
of
Grecia
,
and
the
defasing
of
Temples
,
in
the
presence
of
this
writers
hearing
,
and
affyrmed
he
should
be
a
Priest
after
him
,
although
it
shoulde
not
be
lawfull
for
him
to
vse
his
office
,
because
he
was
sacred
to
strange
Goddes
,
and
should
sweare
solemnly
not
to
serue
them
:
yet
he
sayd
he
should
be
a
chiefe
in
the
Cleargy
,
though
he
were
not
an
Athenian
borne
.
And
so
much
dyd
he
foresee
,
that
in
his
tyme
,
he
sayde
,
Temples
and
holy
things
should
be
destroyed
,
and
he
see
it
,
and
be
contemned
for
his
obstinacy
,
though
he
vsed
his
duety
to
the
Goddesses
,
and
should
be
depriued
of
his
honour
:
and
neyther
be
Priest
,
nor
dye
an
olde
man
.
When
the
father
of
Apollos
Ceremonies
,
had
thus
sayd
,
and
vnspeakeable
troubles
followed
:
some
are
tolde
in
other
histories
,
and
some
shal
be
shewed
in
this
Volume
:
When
as
Alarichus
passed
the
streyghts
,
as
an
open
and
plaine
fyeld
,
with
Barbarians
.
The
secte
that
weare
blacke
apparell
,
which
came
with
him
,
breaking
all
duety
of
obedience
,
opened
the
Iulianus
had
bene
conuersaunt
with
this
diuine
Priest
,
and
greedily
learned
his
doctrine
,
and
with
speede
went
to
Constantius
,
a
partner
of
the
Empire
.
Maximus
was
then
in
Asia
,
&
Aedesius
was
dead
.
And
Maximus
encreased
in
learning
abundantly
.
Iulianus
got
,
not
what
he
would
,
but
what
he
could
,
for
the
He
passed
the
Rhene
,
and
subdued
all
the
Barbarous
Nations
there
,
and
escaped
many
trappes
&
traynes
that
were
layde
for
him
,
as
is
tolde
in
his
lyfe
.
He
sent
for
the
Priest
out
of
Grecia
,
and
after
secrete
conference
betweene
them
.
They
conspyred
to
destroy
the
tyranny
of
Constantius
.
To
this
was
priuy
Oribasius
Then
he
sent
for
Maximus
and
Crysanthius
,
making
one
calling
for
both
.
It
seemed
good
to
them
to
learn
of
the
Goddes
.
And
they
being
men
of
great
experience
and
learning
:
conferring
together
,
and
prouing
all
their
knowledge
and
cunning
,
found
euyll
and
vnhappy
tokens
.
Which
when
they
both
dyd
see
,
Chrysanthius
was
afrayde
,
and
with
he
any
countenaunce
dyd
byte
his
tongue
,
and
sayde
.
Here
is
no
abyding
for
me
,
friend
Maximus
,
but
must
rather
seeke
to
flee
.
The
other
with
a
better
corage
,
sayde
:
It
seemeth
Chrysanthius
thou
hast
forgotten
what
we
learned
,
when
we
were
chyldren
.
That
it
is
the
part
of
wyse
men
,
endewed
with
that
doctrine
,
not
to
be
afrayde
of
the
fyrst
shew
,
but
to
recyte
and
vse
the
helpe
of
diuine
nature
,
tyl
thou
mayst
finde
helpe
for
thy selfe
.
Then
sayd
Chrysanthius
.
You
p●raduenture
are
bold
and
haue
hart
so
to
do
,
but
I
wil
not
striue
withthese
tokens
.
Maximus
making
continual
practise
,
came
to
his
purpose
.
Chrysanthius
remayned
as
an
Image
vnmoueable
,
not
intending
to
be
drawen
from
his
sentence
,
taken
at
the
beginning
.
Nowe
in
Asia
,
all
men
resorted
to
Maximus
,
aswell
they
that
were
in
authority
,
as
they
that
were
not
:
the
noble
Senators
and
vulgar
people
,
repayred
to
Maximus
,
and
made
noyse
with
shoutes
,
which
the
people
is
woont
to
do
,
when
they
wyll
honour
any
man
.
Yea
,
the
women
at
another
gate
,
went
to
Maximus
wyfe
,
and
gratulated
her
felicity
,
that
she
might
be
good
to
them
:
and
she
seemed
so
well
learned
,
as
Maximus
was
not
of
any
learning
.
Thus
Maximus
with
this
great
honour
in
Asia
,
went
to
the
Emperour
.
Chrysanthius
remayned
at
home
,
to
whome
God
had
sygnified
that
verse
of
Homer
in
his
sleepe
.
God
heareth
their
request
,
Whose
trust
in
him
doth
rest
.
When
Maximus
with
his
pompe
,
was
come
to
Constantinople
,
in
short
tyme
he
was
notable
there
.
For
the
Emperour
and
the
Princes
,
were
with
him
both
day
and
night
.
Such
a
felicitie
thought
they
to
be
sent
of
God
.
It
came
to
passe
that
Maximus
began
The
Emperour
not
knowing
of
it
,
commaunded
that
Priscus
should
be
sent
for
.
And
Maximus
requyred
that
Chrysanthius
might
be
called
also
.
So
they
were
both
sent
for
,
Priscus
from
Grecia
,
and
Chrysanthius
from
Lydia
.
So
much
dyd
diuine
Iulian
depend
vpon
Maximus
,
as
he
wrote
gently
to
them
both
,
desyring
them
as
friends
,
&
praying
them
as
Goddes
.
And
hearing
that
Chrysanthius
had
a
wyfe
,
called
Melyta
,
Cosyn
to
this
wryter
,
whome
he
loued
deerely
,
Wherby
Achylles
mighty
minde
,
Might
be
subdued
and
vnderminde
.
Priscus
came
and
behaued
himselfe
modestly
.
And
although
there
were
inowe
that
would
haue
puffed
him
vp
:
yet
he
remayned
after
one
sort
,
not
proude
of
the
Court
,
but
seeking
to
bring
it
to
more
Philosophicall
forme
.
Chrysanthius
would
not
be
allured
,
with
all
the
deuises
,
but
trusting
in
the
Goddes
,
and
that
their
determination
was
vnremoueable
,
he
mynded
to
obey
them
.
He
wrote
againe
to
the
Emperour
,
that
for
his
cause
he
taryed
styll
in
Lydia
,
and
that
he
dyd
it
by
the
counsell
of
the
Goddes
.
The
which
thing
the
Emperour
consydering
,
he
made
him
chiefe
Byshop
of
Lydia
,
with
his
wyfe
,
and
gaue
them
authority
to
place
other
.
The
Emperour
went
to
the
warre
of
Persia
:
Priscus
and
Maximus
following
him
.
Other
dyd
the
lyke
,
fylling
the
number
,
and
boasting
their
vertues
,
because
the
Emperour
affyrmed
,
he
honoured
the
other
,
they
would
haue
it
thought
,
he
esteemed
them
also
.
But
when
that
glorious
expedition
came
to
a
dolorous
ende
,
(
as
we
wyll
shew
in
Iulianus
lyfe
:
)
Iouinianus
that
folowed
,
honoured
them
:
but
he
had
Than
Valentinianus
and
Valens
ruled
,
and
Maximus
and
Priscus
,
taken
to
a
farre
contrary
vocation
:
Valentinianus
&
Valens
,
Emperours
.
then
Iulian
called
them
.
For
that
was
for
honour
and
euident
ioye
.
Thus
from
honour
to
dishonour
,
such
disgraces
dyd
appeare
,
in
the
things
that
were
apparant
.
Priscus
had
no
hurt
,
being
well
reported
of
all
men
,
and
returned
into
Grecia
.
At
the
which
Maximus
●ormented
.
made
abroade
in
the
Theatres
,
and
priuately
to
the
Emperour
,
was
yet
marueyled
at
,
for
patience
in
his
troubles
.
For
grieuous
torments
were
put
to
him
:
and
such
a
penall
paine
,
as
a
man
geuen
to
Philosophy
neuer
heard
of
the
lyke
somme
,
they
thynking
he
had
had
the
goods
of
all
men
.
But
afterwarde
a
lesse
paine
was
put
,
and
he
sent
into
Asia
to
pay
the
money
,
in
the
which
he
was
condempned
.
The
paines
that
he
suffred
passeth
all

It
wyll
be
harde
to
finde
one
of
so

a

,
or
so
reioysyng
of
others
euyll
,
as
can
expresse
the
infynite
Clearchus
.
Thesprotis
.
tortures
of
this
man
.
For
the
punishment
of
the
Boates
vsed
in
Persia
,
was
nothing
to
his
tormentes
,
besyde
the
scolding
scorninges
of
the
tormentors
,
when
they
wrested
his
body
.
His
Wife
so
syngular
a
woman
,
being
present
to
lament
his
case
.
And
when
there
was
none
ende
of
these
afflictions
,
he
prayed
his
wife
to
buy
him
an
exequisyte
potion
,
that
it
might
rydde
him
of
his
paynes
.
She
dyd
so
,
and
brought
it
to
him
,
and
dranke
it
before
him
,
wherof
she
dyeth
presently
,
and
her
friends
buryed
her
.
Than
Maximus
would
not
drinke
it
.
Now
all
eloquence
,
nor
all
the
rowt
of
Poets
,
wyll
not
suffice
to
shew
the
acte
of
Clearchus
.
He
was
of
Thesprotis
of
wealthy
and
famous
house
.
When
the
fate
was
chaunged
,
and
the
Emperour
Valentinian
had
the
rule
in
the
West
,
and
the
Emperour
Valens
in
much
daunger
,
not
only
of
losse
of
his
state
,
but
also
of
his
lyfe
.
For
Procopius
rose
against
him
,
&
with
mighty
forces
pursued
him
in
euery
place
:
Clearchus
The
Capitaines

was
Salutius

floryshed
in

Clearchus

For
such
an
incredible
chaunce
cannot
be
ascribed
but
to
God
.
He
made
all
the
souldiors
that
thus
misused
him
to
flee
,
he
brought
him
out
of
prison
,
he
cured
his
body
,
and
set
him
at
his
table
.
So
great
a
security
had
he
in
the
Emperour
,
whose
minde
was
so
bent
,
as
he
allowed
all
thing●s
that
Clearchus
dyd

So
was
Salutius
deposed
,
and
Exonius
put
in

place

Of
the
which

griefe
dyd
growe
.
They
of
the
Court
conspyring
together
,
to
know
a
secrete
mistery
,
that
euerie
man
coulde
not
tell
,
came
with
it
to
Maximus
,
and
because
they
could
not
agree
among
themselues
:
they
woulde
haue
Maximus
declare
the
Prophesie
,
for
it
was
thought
that
he
knewe
the
counsell
of
the
Goddes
,
and
could
vtter
all
their
secretes
to
others
.
He
perceyuing
their
minde
,
and
waying
the
words
,
dyd
perceyue
where
the
difficultie
laye
,
and
tolde
it
as
surely
and
truly
,
as
the
mistery
was
true
:
Shewing
also
,
that
the
shewing
of
it
,
woulde
vndoo
him
,
and
all
that
shoulde
heare
it
.

And
that
many
by
it
,
shoulde
be
put
to
death
,
that
deserued
not
.
And
so
tolde
by
the
Prophesie
,
that
the
Emperour
after
great
slaughters
of
others
,
The
conspyratours
were
apprehended
,
and
kylled
in
euery
place
,
as
pullen
for
a
feast
or
banquette
,
and
among
them
Maximus
was
taken
,
and
caryed
to
Antioche
,
where
the
Emperour
was
.
Yet
they
were
ashamed
to
kyll
him
,
because
he
reprooued
in
Iudgement
,
them
that
accused
him
:
and
that
he
had
sayde
nothing
but
trueth
,
so
as
they
beleeued
there
was
a
God
in
Maximus
body
.
Therfore
they
sent
one
Festus
,
a
man
of
cruell
nature
,
with
him
into
Asia
,
thynking
that
place
worthy
for
such
a
man
.
Who
being
come
thether
,
dyd
execute
his
Commission
,
and
some
what
more
of
himselfe
,
following
the
brunt
of
his
cruell
nature
.
When
he
had
executed
many
guilty
,
and
not
guilty
:
For
the
Emperour
in
a
fyght
in
Scithia
,
dyed
so
straunge
a
way
,
that
a
bone
was
not
found
to
be
buryed
He
went
into
the
Temple
of
Eumenides
,
not
woont
to
serue
the
Goddes
.
Hauing
put
all
that
he
kylled
to
death
for
that
cause
.
Being
there
,
he
tolde
his
dreame
,
and
in
talking
,
the
teares
fell
from
his
eyes
:
which
was
thus
.
He
thought
that
Maximus
drew
him
with
an
haulter
to
hell
,
to
aunswer
before
Pluto
.
They
that
were
present
,
remembring
his
former
lyfe
,
wept
euery
one
,
and
wylled
him
to
praye
the
Goddes
for
himselfe
.
He
obeyed
,
and
prayde
.
But
going
forth
,
he
fell
to
the
grounde
,
and
two
chyldren
lay
vpon
his
backe
.
His
voyce
forsooke
him
:
and
being
Priscus
.
OF
Priscus
,
much
is
sayde
before
,
by
reason
of
occasion
offered
.
To
speake
of
his
conditions
particularly
:
he
was
a
deepe
dissembler
,
keeping
things
hyd
in
his
minde
,
and
of
a
great
memory
.
And
had
all
auncient
opinions
collected
and
ready
.
He
was
fayre
and
great
of
body
,
and
might
seeme
ignoraunt
of
learning
,
because
he
would
syldome
come
to
talke
,
but
kept
his
doctrine
as
a
treasute
,
calling
them
prodigall
,
that
would
talke
at
euery
motion
.
He
sayde
,
he
that
was
ouercome
in
disputation
,
was
no
more
quiet
,
then
he
that
resysteth
against
the
trueth
:
by
waxing
wyse
with
pleasures
,
and
delyght
of
the
body
,
and
becommeth
an
hater
of
learning
,
and
a
despiser
of
Sapience
.
For
this
cause
he
refused
company
,
and
was
rude
and
rusticall
in
behauiour
.
And
this
manner
he
dyd
not
only
vse
among
his
companions
of
learning
,
but
from
a
chylde
continued
thus
,
to
his
olde
age
.
Chrysantius
tolde
the
wryter
of
this
worke
,
that
Aedesius
was
most
familiar
and
populous
.
And
when
he
had
done
his
Lectors
and
disputations
:
he
would
walke
in
Pergamo
,
with
the
rest
of
his
audytours
.
And
as
a
good
teacher
,
would
engraft
asmuch
by
gentle
words
&
dillygence
,
in
his
Schollers
,
that
were
hard
of
capacity
,
as
could
be
done
by
man
.
But
whom
he
perceyued
haughty
for
their
straunge
doctrine
,
and
spreading
their
feathers
,
greater
and
weaker
than
Icarus
:
he
would
throw
them
downe
,
not
into
the
Sea
,
but
to
the
earth
,
the
place
of
men
.
In
the
trade
of
teaching
,
he
met
a
woman
sellyng
hearbes
,
whome
he
with
gentle
manner
beheld
,
and
spake
to
her
,
of
her
going
about
,
and
what
gayne
she
got
to
waxe
wealthy
,
and
also
tolde
her
how
hearbs
were
to
be
sowen
.
The
lyke
he
dyd
with
a
Weauer
,
Smyth
,
and
Carpenter
:
and
by
this
,
they
that
were
gentle
and
dilligent
,
dyd
learne
,
and
especially
Chrysanthius
,
and
some
other
that
were
lyke
vnto
him
.
Onely
Priscus
would
not
forbeare
openly
,
but
called
him
a
bewrayer
of
Philosophy
,
and
a
man
cunning
Being
of
this
sort
,
after
Iulianus
death
,
he
refrained
from
bytternes

&
suffred
many
rebukes
of
young
men

Tuscianus
,
for
his
worthynes
,
is
not
to
be
forgotten
:
for
he
was
familiar
with
him
,
all
the
which
be
declared
in
Iulianus
the
Emperours
lyfe
.
This
wryter
dyd
see
Iulianus
house
at
Athens
,
which
was
lytle
and
plaine
.
Yet
so
expressing
Mercurie
and
the
Muses
,
that
it
dyffered
nothing
from
a
Temple
.
He
left
it
to
Proaeresius
.
There
was
the
pictures
of
his
friendes
,
such
as
he
loued
.
He
had
a
Theatre
of
Marble
,
lyke
the
common
Theatre
,
but
lesse
,
as
proporcionate
to
his
house
.
There
was
at
Athens
at
that
tyme
,
such
a
faction
betweene
the
Schollers
and
the
Cittizens
,
as
in
a
Cittie
,
that
within
their
walles
,
nourished
the
peryls
of
their
auncient
warres
.
No
Studient
durst
go
abroade
to
heare
the
Lessons
,
but
kept
in
priuate
auditories
,
whether
Schollers
were
brought
to
heare
wordes
,
not
contending
for
lyfe
,
but
for
praise
?
Many
keeping
sylence
,
it
is
requisite
to
take
and
bring
this
of
Iulianus
,
for
a
wytnesse
and
testimony
of
all
his
learning
and
conuersation
.
It
chaunced
the
bolde

Than
the
Proconsull
sayd
:

shall
take

,
nor
any
of

Disciples
,
shall
make
noyse
to
the
speaker
:
and
then
shall
you
know
,
how
pure
and
syncere
the
Romaines
iudgement
is
.
Therfore
,
let
Themistocles
make
an
ende
of
his
accusation
,
and
let
him
aunswer
whome
you
thinke
best
:
after
this
no
more
accused
,
and
Themistocles
name
was
obscured
.
Iulianus
,
as
the
President
commaunded
,
to
answer
the
fyrst
accusation
,
sayd
thus
.
Thou
,
O
Presydent
,
by
thine
exquisite
Iustice
,
hast
caused
Apsines
,
as
a
Pythagoream
,
to
hold
his
peace
,
though
it
were
late
,
which
he
ought
to
haue
learned
chiefly
before
.
Because
he
taught
others
to
followe
Pythagoras
doctrine
,
which
is
,
scilence
.
If
thou
geuest
me
leaue
to
aunswere
,
commaund
Proaeresius
,
one
of
my
friendes
to
be
vntied
.
And
iudge
thou
,
whether
he
hath
better
learned
the
eloquence
of
Athens
,
or
scilence
of
Pythagoras
.
When
the
President
had
graunted
,
and
that
very
gently
:
as
Tuscianus
,
who
was
present
,
tolde
this
wryter
,
Proaeresius
entred
among
the
accused
,
without
bondes
.
The
maister
crying
to
him
with
lowde
and
high
voyce
,
as
they
that
encourage
them
that
go
to
fyght
.
So
speaking
shryll
vnto
him
,
sayde
.
Now
is
it
tyme
to
speake
.
Than
he
made
a
Proeme
,
which
Tuscianus
dyd
not
tell
,
but
onely
the
sence
.
That
it
tended
to
moue
pitie
,
of
that
they
had
suffred
:
and
that
it
was
mixed
with
a
praise
of
their
teacher
.
And
that
there
was
added
in
the
Proeme
,
a
reproofe
of
one
purpose
,
declaring
the
swift
maner
of
the
Proconsulles
power
.
That
it
was
not
lawfull
that
they
that
had
bene
iudged
,
should
be
so
vsed
againe
.
The
President
helde
downe
his
head
,
and
was
amazed
in
his
minde
,
at
the
words
&
pithe
of
the
matter
,
the
myid
countenance
and
good
iesture
.
All
were
ready
to
haue
showted
,
but
fearing
the
commaundement
,
as
a
thundring
,
and
vsing
a
misticall
scilence
:
Proaeresius
began
another
Proeme
,
the
substaunce
wherof
,
Tuscianus
tolde
,
was
thus
.
If
it
be
lawfull
to
do
all
iniurie
in
accusing
,
and
the
accuser
to
be
beleued
,
before
aunswer
be
made
,
be
it
so
,
let
this
be
Themistocles
Cittie
.
Then
the
Proconsull
leapt
out
of
his

casting
of
his
Purple
garment
,
which
the
Romaines
call
a
Trabeall
Roabe
,
and
as
a
young
man
,
of
so
seuere
,
Proaeresius
.
Apsines
clapped
also
,
not
willingly
,
but
what
is
more
violent
then
necessitie
?
Iulianus
the
teacher
,
commaunding
part
to
go
forth
,
and
the
accuser
,
willing
the
maister
to
remaine
alone
:
Than
taking
Themistocles
and
the
Lacedemonians
,
he
repeated
the
whypping
of
Lacedemonia
,
and
added
them
of
Athens
.
Thus
continuing
in
fame
,
he
dyed
at
Athens
,
among
his
acquaintance
,
ministring
great
contencion
to
his
friendes
,
to
celebrate
his
Funerall
.
Proaeresius
.
OF
Proaeresius
,
is
spoken
part
in
He
that
made
this
Treatise
,
came
out
of
Asia
,
into
Proaeresius
was
then
(
as
he
sayde
himselfe
)
lxxxvii
.
yeares
of
age
.
In
eloquence
he
was
passing
.
His
aged
body
was
susteyned
with
the
youth
of
his
mind
.
So
as
the
wryter
hereof
,
thought
him
voyde
of
age
,
and
as
it
were
immortall
.
He
repayred
to
him
,
as
called
of
one
that
seemed
a
God
,
without
any
busynesse
.
He
came
to
Piraeo
at
the
fyrst
watche
,
hauing
gotte
a
feruent
agewe
At
this
howre
when
no
thing
was
to
be
done
,
the
maister
of
the
Shyppe
,
which
was
a
man
of
Athens
,
went
straight
to
the
Citie
,
and
many
that
lyked
better
that
kinde
of
study
then
the
other
,
stoode
at
the
Port
,
where
the
going
downe
is
at
the
pyllour
,
and
other
passengers
went
also
.
But
this
wryter
was
not
able
to
go
,
therfore
he
was
borne
into
the
Cittie
.
It
was
mydnight
,
when
the
Sunne
maketh
equall
night
,
being
northwarde
,
and
entred
the
Ballance
,
at
which
tyme
the
night
watches
be
long
.
The
Shypmaister
being
of
olde
acquaintance
with
Proaeresius
,
knocked
at
his
gate
,
and
brought
all
the
company
with
him
,
as
it
hapneth
when
contention
,
falleth
betweene
two
young
men
,
that
,
that
Schoole
woulde
be
fylled
with
audience
.
Some
of
these
,
sought
strength
of
body
,
some
rytches
,
and
some
a
meane
betweene
.
This
wryter
being
weake
,
had
only
many
bookes
of
auncient
wryters
in
his
youth
.
The
house
was
full
of
myrthe
,
men
and
women
running
about
,
some
laughing
,
and
some
prouooking
laughter
.
Proaeresius
that
tyme
,
wylled
his
cosyn
Anatolius
,
for
whome
he
sent
,
to
entertaine
the
Straungers
.
For
he
was
of
Armenia
,
which
is
next
the
Persians
:
and
they
receyued
the
Guests
,
wherof
some
were
their
countrey
men
.
The
youth
in
the
Bathes
,
shewed
all
pastime
and
myrth
:
and
when
they
were
washed
,
they
went
their
way
.
This
wryter
,
for
his
great
sycknes
consumed
,
and
neyther
coulde
enioy
the
syght
of
Athons
,
nor
of
Proaeresius
?
Onely
seeing
the
things
which
he
●esyred
,
as
it
were
by
vision
.
His
countreymen
of
Lydia
tooke
it
greeuously
:
and
as
one
young
man
wyll
helpe
another
,
they
spake
of
him
many
great
things
,
more
than
trueth
.
Conferring
together
maruelous
straungely
,
there
was
a
sorrow
in
the
Cittle
,
as
of
a
great
calamity
.
There
was
one
Aeschines
,
not
of
Athens
,
but
of
Thus
Aeschines
cleared
his
former
faultes
,
by
this
one
fact
,
&
was
honoured
of
the
Patient
,
and
of
them
that
were
his
friends
.
When
he
had
done
this
,
being
honoured
of
all
men
:
he
went
to
Chio
,
and
taryed
so
long
there
,
tyll
by
the
vertue
of
the
medicine
,
he
had
gotten
health
,
after
the
which
tyme
,
the
Patient
kept
company
with
the
Phisitian
.
Diuine
Proaeresius
had
not
yet
seene
this
wryter
,
but
lamented
his
case
:
and
when
he
heard
,
he
had
gotten
health
beyonde
all
hope
,
he
called
the
chiefe
of
his
Disciples
,
and
praysed
to
them
the
efficacie
of
that
arte
.
I
am
glad
(
sayth
he
)
of
this
young
mans
recouery
,
whome
I
haue
not
yet
seene
,
being
greatly
grieued
with
his
infirmity
.
If
you
wyll
doo
me
a
pleasure
,
take
him
to
the
publique
Bathe
,
and
leauing
your
wanton
toyes
,
vse
him
as
mine
owne
chylde
.
Thus
this
matter
went
,
of
which
shal
be
sayde
more
in
our
History
.
Notwithstanding
,
the
wryter
thynketh
that
all
the
benefyte
he
got
by
Proaeresius
,
came
by
the
wyll
of
God
.
Yet
in
the
declaration
of
his
lyfe
,
he
wyll
not
swarue
one
whytte
from
the
trueth
.
A
diuine
saying
was
it
of
Plato
.
Trueth
is
the
guyde
of
all
good
,
Both
to
God
and
man
.
The
goodlinesse
of
Proaeresius
body
(
for
now
I
come
In
Antioche
,
he
followed
Vlpianus
,
who
was
chiefe
teacher
of
eloquence
there
,
and
prospered
with
the
Both
of
them
had
but
one
Cloake
,
and
three
or
fowre
Mantelles
,
which
being
dyed
at
home
,
shewed
their
coursenes
for
age
.
Further
,
being
two
men
,
they
seemed
but
one
,
as
the
Poets
wryght
of
Gerion
.
When
Proaeresius
went
abroade
,
Hephestion
taryed
at
home
,
wrapped
in
his
C●uerlet
,
exercising
himself
Proaeresius
&
Hephestion
.
in
Rhetorique
.
The
lyke
did
Proaeresius
,
when
Hephestion
was
abroade
.
So
great
was
their
want
.
Iulianus
lyked
well
of
Proaeresius
,
and
gaue
eare
vnto
him
,
wondring
at
the
excellencie
of
his
nature
.
When
Iulianus
was
dead
,
Athens
coueted
to
haue
Hephestion
,
Epiphanius
,
and
Diophantus
,
Sopolis
These
being
appointed
,
one
part
was
called
of
the
lesser
company
,
and
more
symple
,
whose
power
consysted
in
the
seate
and
teaching
place
.
To
the
hygher
sort
,
the
Cittie
was
deuided
,
and
not
onely
the
Cittie
,
out
all
the
Nations
of
the
Romaines
.
And
they
contended
,
not
for
cunning
,
but
for
contries
,
which
should
be
most
cunning
.
All
the
last
,
as
an
honour
,
was
appointed
to
Epiphanius
.
Diophantus
had
Arabia
,
Hephestion
reuerensing
Proaeresius
,
let
Athens
and
dyed
.
To
Proaeresius
,
all
Pontus
,
and
Lydia
now
called
Asia
,
reaching
to
Caria
and
Lycia
,
and
ending
at
Pamphilia
,
&
Taurus
,
and
Egipt
,
for
the
excellency
of
learning
,
was
to
him
a
peculiar
portion
,
and
all
that
is
aboue
Egipt
,
streatching
to
Lydia
,
and
the
vnknowen
partes
inhabited
.
I
haue
told
this
at
large
,
that
men
may
see
euidently
,
the
Nations
that
fyrst
saw
them selues
deceyued
by
youth
,
turned
to
seeke
other
.
The
excellency
of
Proaeresius
made
a
great
faction
,
which
grew
to
so
great
contention
with
the
young
sort
,
that
he
was
forced
to
leaue
Athens
:
they
corrupting
the
Proconsull
,
wherby
they
got
the
vpperhande
.
Yet
Proaeresius
after
great
penury
in
his
exyle
,
returned
lyke
vnto
Pisistratus
.
Other
men
lyued
by
their
rytches
,
but
Proaeresius
by
his
eloquence
.
As
Homers
Mercury
,
His
enimies
,
againe
assembling
,
rose
against
him
,
lyke
stynging
Serpents
:
but
being
preuented
of
his
friendes
,
he
was
restored
to
Athens
,
as
Tuscianus
,
who
was
present
at
euery
thing
,
tolde
me
,
who
had
Then
were
Proaeresius
Schollers
sodenly
called
in
:
who
came
,
not
knowing
what
was
meant
.
Then
sayd
the
President
with
a
lowde
voyce
,
I
wyll
haue
you
all
,
this
day
,
aunswer
to
a
question
,
which
,
when
you
haue
done
,
then
,
shall
Proaeresius
,
or
at
his
pleasure
,
say
what
he
wyll
.
They
effectually
desiring
this
thing
,
and
declaring
with
great
consideration
,
speeches
of
Aristides
:
not
as
things
vomitted
but
well
digested
,
the
President
sayd
againe
.
Now
say
Proaeresius
.
He
,
from
his
seate
,
spake
somewhat
,
as
a
Proeme
with
great
grace
,
and
when
he
had
ended
that
speache
,
which
he
spake
of
the
sodaine
,
he
applied
his
matter
to
the
chiefe
poynt
.
For
the
which
,
the
President
was
ready
to
make
an
ende
.
Than
he
looked
about
the
audience
,
and
espyed
of
his
aduersaries
a
great
number
,
and
of
his
friends
very
few
:
whera●
he
was
afrayde
,
as
he
might
well
be
.
Yet
Fortune
fauouring
him
,
and
seeing
in
the
furthest
part
of
the
Schoole
,
the
men
that
were
great
talkers
,
and
workers
of
much
euyll
,
sayde
,
alowde
.
O
God
,
yonder
be
the
best
Oratours
.
Commaunde
them
,
O
President
,
to
come
foorth
,
paraduenture
they
wyll
tell
,
they
haue
done
naught
.
When
they
heard
this
,
they
hydde
them selues
among
the
people
,
coueiting
to
be
close
.
The
President
,
sending
some
of
his
Sergeaunts
,
brought
them
foorth
,
and
with
an
exhortation
,
appoynted
them
to
speake
,
in
that
forme
,
that
is
called
,
Conclusiue
.
When
they
had
looked
a
lytle
and
spoken
together
:
They
propounded
a
base
matter
,
rude
and
harde
,
and
voyde
of
all
Rhetoricall
ornament
.
He
looked
grimly
vpon
them
,
and
sayde
to
the
Proconsull
.
I
beseech
thee
let
me
haue
the
right
that
was
graunted
me
before
the
action
.
He
sayde
,
he
should
not
be
denied
right
.
I
requyre
(
quoth
he
)
swyft
Notaries
.
That
this
daye
,
they
maye
noate
Themis
tongue
,
and
attend
vpon
my
wordes
.
He
wylling
Than
I
(
sayd
he
)
would
aske
a
greater
thing
:
which
he
was
bidden
to
doo
.
Let
no
man
,
sayd
he
,
clappe
his
handes
,
at
the
ende
of
Sentences
.
Which
being
graunted
with
great
feare
to
the
other
:
Proaeresius
beganne
to
speake
with
flowing
Oration
,
clapping
his
owne
hands
,
at
euery
sentence
ende
.
The
Auditours
that
were
compelled
to
keepe
Pythagoras
scilence
,
were
grieued
with
sighing
and
groning
.
He
increasing
in
cloquence
,
and
speaking
aboue
mans
opinion
,
came
to
the
second
part
of
his
matter
,
and
as
a
man
rapt
in
a
futie
:
he
left
that
he
thought
coulde
not
be
aunswered
,
and
turned
his
speach
to
the
enimies
argument
.
The
Notaries
coulde
scarcely
follow
him
,
and
the
Auditours
,
hardly
holde
their
peace
.
Such
was
the
plenty
of
the
wordes
,
turning
his
face
to
the
Notaries
.
Marke
dillygently
,
sayde
he
,
if
I
doo
not
remember
all
.
Than
he
rehearsed
all
againe
,
when
neyther
His
aduersaries
freating
for
anger
,
yet
some
of
them
coulde
doo
no
lesse
then
prayse
him
.
The
President
,
with
all
his
Guarde
and
power
,
brought
him
out
of
the
Theatre
.
And
after
that
tyme
no
man
durst
mute
against
him
.
But
as
they
had
all
bene
stroken
with
a
lightning
,
they
acknowledged
him
for
the
better
.
In
processes
of
tyme
reuiuing
againe
,
as
the
heads
of
Hidra
,
they
returned
to
their
nature
,
alluring
some
of
the
best
sort
with
great
feastes
,
&
fayre
Damisels
.
As
Princes
that
be
ouercome
in
iust
and
sette
battell
,
and
by
desperation
brought
to
extremitie
,
they
are
glad
of
shotte
and
lyght
Horsemen
,
which
at
the
fyrste
they
dyd
not
esteeme
,
but
nowe
for
necessitie
,
accept
them
:
So
these
being
feared
from
ordinarie
helpe
,
layde
traynes
,
that
were
lewde
and
vyle
.
Which
were
voyde
of
enuye
,
vnlesse
a
man
can
hate
himselfe
.
They
had
many
fellowes
,
and
theyr
crafte
came
to
good
passe
.
Proaeresius
was
in
greate
credyte
,
and
his
vertue
in
floryshing
estate
.
All
wyse
men
loued
him
,
and
they
that
went
to
him
,
attayned
to
knowledge
.
At
this
tyme
,
the
Emperours
Courte
brought
foorth
a
man
,
that
loued
both
eloquence
and
glorye
.
He
was
of
the
City
of
Beritos
,
&
his
name
was
Anatolius
,
whom
his
euil
willers
surnamed
Azutriona
.
What
He
had
all
Princely
offices
geuen
him
,
with
such
estimation
,
as
his
very
enimies
wondred
at
him
,
and
in
tyme
was
made
great
Maister
of
the
Court.
This
Being
mooued
with
a
feruent
desyre
to
see
Grecia
,
and
the
Images
of
the
Oratours
,
with
his
owne
eyes
:
he
made
great
haste
into
Grecia
,
and
came
thyther
with
much
authority
.
Where
he
propounded
a
question
to
the
Oratours
,
wylling
euery
one
to
say
his
minde
of
it
.
Grecia
maruayling
at
his
wisdome
,
learning
,
and
indyfferency
.
Hee
commaunded
them
to
speake
of
this
question
,
they
dayly
sought
to
be
guile
one
another
.
But
when
there
was
no
remedy
,
they
determyned
the
state
of
the
matter
,
as
they
call
it
:
vpon
the
which
,
was
such
a
contention
,
as
the
wryter
hereof
,
neuer
heard
a
more
foolysh
thing
.
They
were
deuided
by
difference
in
opinion
,
euery
man
being
bent
to
please
his
audience
,
and
prayse
his
eloquence
.
And
after
the
comming
of
Anatolius
,
more
fearefull
then
the
army
of
Xerxes
,
and
the
peryll
redounding
,
not
to
the
Greacians
,
but
to
the
studients
:
all
other
,
among
whome
,
was
Himerius
of
Bythinia
,
When
Anatolius
had
done
his
Ceremonies
in
Athens
,
he
commaunded
the
Oratours
to
begyn
their
disputation
.
Then
euery
man
sought
to
preuent
other
in
the
ostentation
of
their
wytte
.
So
ambitious
a
creature
is
man
.
Anatolius
laughed
at
them
,
that
sought
to
please
their
Schollars
,
and
pitied
their
Parents
,
that
had
put
them
to
such
Teachers
.
Then
he
called
Proaeresius
which
was
onely
left
.
He
got
familiaritie
of
Anatolius
men
,
and
learned
the
meaning
of
all
the
purpose
.
The
which
thing
(
as
the
wryter
sayde
before
)
was
to
be
laughted
at
)
being
of
no
moment
,
nor
any
rewarde
of
victory
propounded
,
yet
Proaeresius
obeyed
,
as
soone
as
he
was
called
.
And
spake
so
aptly
and
eloquently
to
the
thing
,
that
Anatolius
leapt
out
of
his
seate
,
and
the
audience
was
caried
to
cries
,
and
there
was
none
but
thought
him
a
God
in
speache
.
So
as
Anatolius
esteemed
him
very
much
,
and
as
for
the
rest
,
scarcely
thought
them
worthy
his
table
.
For
he
was
pleasaunt
,
and
fine
in

at
Feasts

and
there
was
no
meale
with

purpose
and
learning
.
These
happened
long
before
,
and
the
wryter
had
the
better
tyme
to
heare
of
them
.
Anatolius
esteemed
much
Nilesius
borne
in
Smyrna
,
Not
long
before
,
he
was
called
of
the
Emperour
into
France
,
who
had
him
in
such
admyration
,
as
The
Emperour
sent
him
to
the
great
Cittie
of
Rome
,
for
a
glory
,
that
they
shoulde
see
,
what
men
were
subiect
to
the
Emperour
.
They
could
not
tell
at
what
to
maruayle
most
,
all
thinges
dyd
so
passe
mans
nature
.
Than
,
for
many
causes
louing
him
,
and
lykewyse
praysing
him
:
they
made
a
Picture
of
Brasse
,
of
his
iust
stature
,
and
dedicated
it
to
him
,
with
this
inscription
.

To

.
The
Emperour
gaue
him
leaue
to
returne
to
Athens
,
and
to
aske
what
gyfte
he
woulde

He
asked
a
thing
woorthy
his
nature
:
Ilandes
,
not
fewe
,
nor
lyttle
,
trybutarie
to
Athens
,
in
paying

The
Emperour
gaue
them
to
him
,
adding
the
greatest
honour
,
making
him
Lieftenaunt
Generall
,
that
no
man
shoulde
enuie
that
he
had
so
great
a

reuenew
.
The
Presydent
had
authority
to
establysh
these
offices
,
who
was
lately
come
out
of
France
.
And
after
these
dysputations
,
he
went
to
Anatolius
,
to
haue
his
office
confyrmed
,
calling
to
Athens
,
all
his
friendes
that
myght
congratulate
with
him
,
in
his
dygnitie
,
who
resorted
without

.
When
the
Theatre
was
full
,
and
he
requyred
his
acquaintaunce
might
speake

The

preuenting

,
to

what
he
coulde

Speake
Proaeresius
.
For
it
is
not
conuenient
that
other
king
,
then
he
that
is
present
should
praise
the
Emperour
.
Than
Proaeresius
,
as
an
Horse
called
to
the
race
,
spake
of
the
gyft
,
and
rehearsed
Celeo
,
Triptolemus
Than
strayght
hee
passed
to
the
auncient
Mannor
of
munisycence
,
confirmed
all
things
by
examples
,
and
declared
the
glory
of

by
eloquence
.
He
tooke
a
wife
of
the
Cittie
of
Trallis
in
Asia
.
Her
name
was
Amphiclea
.
They
had
a
Daughter
that
lyued
so
long
as
there
is
tyme
betweene
the
conception
and
the
byrth
.
After
the
which
tyme
,
he
had
a
fayre
Sonne
.
That
made
the
Father
glad
for
the
tyme
,
but
shortly
after
,
fylled
both
Father
and
Mother
,
with
heauines
by
death
.
As
at
the
griefe
therof
,
Proaeresius
seemed
to
loose
all
his
Sap●ence
.
But
Nilesius
,
with
his
musyke
and
sweete
harmony
,
restored
his
minde
againe
.
The
Romaines
required
him
to
send
his
chiefe
Disciple
to
them
.
And
he
sent
Eusebius
of
Alexandria
,
who
agreeing
well
with
the
Cittie
,
for

could
well

At
this
tyme
,
the
wryter
being
syxteene
yeares
of
age
,
entred
Athens
,
and
was
admitted

Scholler
,
and
loued
,
as
his
sonne
.
The
fyfthe
yeare
he
would
haue
gone
into
Aegipt
,
but
his
friendes
called
him
againe
,
and
set
him
to
the
study
of
Eloquence
,
to
the
which
euery
man
exhorted
him
.
Proaeresius
dyed
shortly
after
,
a
man
of
such
quality
,
as
all
the
worlde
was
fylled
with
his
eloquence
,
and
inhabited
of
his
Disciples

Epiphanius

He
dyed

and
his

a
very
fayre
woman
,
suffred

They

This

Diophantus

DIophantus

The

opinion
of

Libanius

in

of
whose
praise
he
wrote
a
booke
.
that
is
called
Holow
.
The
worke
of
the
noble
Seleucus
Nicator
.
He
was
of
a
good
house
,
and
taken
with
the
best
:
when
he
was
young
&
ruler
of
him selfe
,
his
Parents
being
dead
,
he
came
to
Athens
:
neyther
to
Epiphanius
,
nor
Proaeresius
,
that
were
of
greatest
name
,
that
he
should
not
be
obscure
in

a
number
of
scholers

&

glory
of

None
of
his
friendes
or
familiars
,
went
away
without
a
taunt
.
What
euery
mans
maner
was
,
he
well
marked
,
and
vnderstoode
his
minde
,
whether
he
enclined
to
vertue
or
vice
.
Such
a
one
he
was
,
in
describing
and
vttering
the
condition
of
men
,
all
the
which
he
dyd
with
a
nyppe
.
His
familiars
supposed
to
be
in
him
,
an
other
him selfe
.
Therfore
his
acquaintaunce
sayd
,
he
was
a
table
and
Image
,
of
sundry
facions
.
Neyther
coulde
he
be
perceyued
of
his
Scholers
,
(
were
they
neuer
so
many
)
to
what
part
he
enclined
.
But
to
contrary
nature
,
of
contrary
maners
,
he
was
lyked
,
euen
of
them
that
were
contrary
to
his
profession
.
So
euery
man
dyd
thinke
to
beholde
their
conditions
,
alone
in
him
,
not
without
admiration
,
so
diuers
formes
of
sundry
qualities
were
found
in
him
at
ones
.
He
also
despised
mariage
,
yet
he
had
a
woman
as
his
wyfe
,
but
not
of
lyke
worthynesse
.
His
Orations
were
colde
and
barraine
,
without
lyfe
,
so
as
in
this
poynt
,
it
seemed
he
was
without
a
teacher
.
For
the
common
rules
woont
to
be
knowen
to
chyldren
,
he
knew
not
.
But
in
Epistles
and
such
other
lyke
familiar
talke
,
he
rose
sufficiently
to
the
auncient
forme
.

He
laboured
this
as
the
chiefe
poynt

,
all
geuen
to
draw
what
he
coulde
,
out

and

,
made

beginning
,
to

pleasantnes

delighting

A
man
may
finde
in
his
Orations
,
exceeding
learning
and
knowledge
,
full
of
sweete
speeche
,
so
as
he
would
not

Diuine
Iulianus

at

:
And
all
men
maruayled
at
his

Many
bookes
there
be
of
his
,
which
maye
be
vnderstanded
of
them
that
haue
wytte
and
seeke
them
.
He
was
sufficient
for
ciuile
causes
and
busynes
,
and
besyde
his
Orations
,
to
be
bolde
to
performe
other
things
touching
sights
in
Theatres
.
The
Princes
that
followed
,
gaue
him
great
offices
.
For
they
wylled
him
to
haue
the
great
maistership
of
the
Court
,
and
so
saluted
him
.
He
refused
it
,
saying
.
A
Philosopher
is
aboue
it
.
And
this
is
no
smal
praise
,
that
being
inferiour
,
in
glory
,
he
would
be
superiour
in
study
.
Thinking
the
other
to
be
a
common
and
ordinary
office
.
He
dyed
very
olde
,
leauing
to
all
men
,
great
admiration
of
him

who
was

Full
of

contention

spirit
,
as

His
speeche
was
lyke

manner

Rysing

he
got
a

A

The
which
is
more
plainly
shewed
in
his
lyfe
.
But
as
the
Prouerbe
sayth
.
There
is
no
Larke
without
a
Creaste
.
So
Oribasius
was
not
without
enuie
.
For
notwithstanding
,
his
excellencie
,
the
officers
of
Iulianus
spoyled
him
of
his
substaunce
,
and
minded
to
haue
done
the
lyke
with
his
lyfe
,
but
they
restrayned
from
the
mischiefe
.
Otherwise
,
committing
as
euyll
,
for
they
appointed
him
to
be
kylled
of
the
Barbarians
,
as
the
Athenians
do
them
that
be
excellent
in
vertue
.
Yet
such
in
Athens
,
suffred
as
the
law
was
,
and
no
more
.
But
Emperours
added
somewhat
more
to
banishment
,
Oribasius
,
being
brought
to
the
place
of
his
enimies
,
dyd
shew
great
prayse
of
vertue
,
not
limited
by
space
,
nor
bounded
by
termes
,
but
declaring
constancie
and
stedfastnesse
,
according
to
her
nature
:
working
alike
,
whersoeuer
she
becommeth
.
Euen
as
they
say
,
numbers
,
and
such
science
doth
.
He
got
forthwith
a
great
name
of
the
Barbarians
,
and
their
Kinges
.
He
was
taken
with
the
best
.
And
hauing
regarde
to
the
Romaine
kingdome
,
he
was
honoured
among
them
,
as
a
God
.
Hea●ing
some
of
long
diseases
,
delyuering
some
from
the
gate
of
death
.
This
sayd
calamity
,
was
occasion
of
all
his
felicitie
.
Wherfore
the
Emperour
doubting
to
striue
with
such
a
mans
vertue
,
in
all
places
,
suffred
him
to
returne
.
In
his
iourn●y
he
had
,
for
all
his
rytches
,
himselfe
,
shewing
the
rytches
of
vertue
.
He
had
a
wyse
,
noble
and
wealthy
,
and
fowre
chyldren
,
which
be
a
lyue
,
and
himselfe
was
lyuing
,
when
this
was
written
,
and
so
may
he
long
be
.
He
recouered
his
former
substance
,
restored
by
the
Emperours
publique
decree
,
which
he
had
vniustly
lost
by
the
former
sentence
.
And
in
this
case
was
he
.
To
be
conuersant
with
Oribasius
:
he
must
be
a
gentle
Philosopher
,
that
he
may
knowe
what
to
esteeme
,
aboue
al
other
.
Such
an
armony
and
grace
,
was
shed

receyued
,
cut
rather
speake
most
moderatly
of
him
,
for
so
it
was
agreed
betweene
vs
.
Chrysanthius
was
of
the
Senate
,
and
for
Nobilitie
,
accoumpted
with
One
Inocentius
was
his
Grandfather
,
a
man
of
great
rytches
and
estimation
,
being
appointed
by
the
Emperours
to
make
Lawes
.
There
be
bookes
of
his
,
extant
,
written
both
in
Greeke
and
Latine
.
Which
testifieth
his
deepe
and
stayed
iudgement
,
and
contayne
knowledge
of
these
thinges
,
for
such
as
be
desyrous
of
them
.
Chrysanthius
being
left
young
of
his
Father
,
and
geuen
to
Philosophy
,
by
his
diuine
nature
,
went
to
Pergamo
,
to
the
great
Aedesius
.
And
growing
in
yeares
,
had
such
a
desyre
and
thyrst
of
Philosophy
,
as
chancing
on
such
a
Teacher
,
as
dyd
geue
him
inough
to
aslake
his
thyrst
,
he
lost
no
lesson
,
nor
gaue
place
to
any
in
dilligence
.
For
he
was
of
a
sounde
and
strong
body
,
acquaynted
with
labour
.
He
got
full
knowledge
in
Aristotle
,
and
Plato
,
and
gaue
all
his
minde
to
Philosophy
.
And
hauing
vnderstanded
all
the
sormes
of
the
same
,
he
was
of
inclination
to
obtayne
eloquence
,
and
in
good
way
of
exercise
and
doctrine
.
He
ouercame
euery
enterprise
that
he
tooke
in
hande
,
and
had
boidnes
to
make
declaration
of
his
proofe
:
apt
to
speake
,
and
to
be
sylent
also
.
And
when
he
spake
,
to
get
the
maistry
,
he
would
vse
high
prayse
and
pompe
.
After
this
,
he
went
to
the
study
of
knowledge
of
the
Goddes
,
and
followed
the
Sapience
that
Pythagoras
taught
,
and
other
that
followed
him
.
Parentinus
Architas
,
Philosopher
.
Apolonius
,
was
of
Alexandria
.
borne
at
Tyana
in
Cappadocia
Besyde
olde
Architas
and
Tyaneus
Apolonius
,
and
them
that
honoured
Apolonius
,
surely
diuine
men
,
yet
mortall
.
After
this
study
,
Chrysanthius
going
the
strayght
way
,
taking
the
fyrst
occasion
,
by
these
principles
and
guides
,
he
prospered
and
attayned
to
such
a
perfection
of
the
minde
,
which
Plato
calleth
a
purgation
,
as
he
gotte
the
full
of
all
that
science
to
the
vttermost
,
and
was
perfyte
in
all
foresyght
.
Men
sayde
,
he
dyd
better
see
,
than
speake
of
things
to
come
,
as
one
that
euer
had
bene
present
with
the
Goddes
.
After
he
had
bestowed
a
good
tyme
this
waye
,
and
coferred
with
Maximus
very
much
,
he
And
when
Iulianus
the
Emperour
,
sent
for
them
both
by
one
calling
,
appoynting
souldiours
for
their
honour
,
bringing
a
perswasion
from
Thessalie
,
ioygned
with
a
ne●●ssitie
:
that
it
seemed
he
dyd
communicate
with
God
,
and
manifestly
wrought
with
him
,
as
a
priuate
and
dayly
workman
of
the
lower
sort
,
to
iudge
the
tokens
of
God
:
forbydding
his
going
.
But
Maximus
continued
fast
in
the
Ceremonies
,
and
deuoutly
vsing
the
Sacrifyces
,
with
cryes
:
he
would
aske
of
God
other
tokens
,
to
differ
the
destiny
.
And
where
he
had
styll
contrary
tokens
,
and
therby
caused
Chrysanthius
to
trye
it
againe
:
yet
at
length
the
wyll
of
the
Goddes
was
manifested
by
sygnes
,
and
their
determination
many
times
shewed
by
Sacrifice
,
although
the
thing
that
appeared
,
was
not
by
him
,
approued
.
So
as
Maximus
tooke
that
iourney
,
which
was
cause
of
all
calamitie
:
Euen
so
Chrysanthius
taryed
at
home
.
At
the
fyrst
,
the
Emperour
consydered
the
cause
,
and
coniectured
,
why
Chrysanthius
would
not
come
,
because
he
sawe
difficulty
in
the
matter
.
Notwithstanding
,
Iulianus
wrote
againe
for
him
:
and
not
onely
exhorted
him
,
but
also
moued
his
wyle
to
perswade
him
to
come
.
Chrysanthius
againe
,
resorted
to
diuine
knowledge
.
And
the
Goddes
shewed
him
continually
,
all
one
tokens
.
The
which
comming
oft
to
passe
,
and
the
Emperour
hauing
great
opinion
of
him
,
gaue
him
the
chiefe
Byshoprike
of
that
countrey
.
And
he
knowing
certainly
what
woulde
followe
,
was
not
grieuous
in
his
dignitie
,
nor
oppressed
the
younger
,
as
all
in
this
age
,
were
woont
to
do
,
hotly
and
feruently
,
neyther
was
he
very
extreme
to
the
Christians
.
So
great
lenitie
was
in
his
behauiour
,
that
in
all
Lydia
it
was
scarcely
knowen
,
that
there
was
any
alteration
of
Religion
.
Wherof
followed
,
when
the
chaunge
came
,
that
no
new
thing
seemed
to
be
done
:
Nothing
sodenly
appeared
to
be
altred
,
but
al
things
stayed
quietly
,
and
vniformly
,
and
without
motion
.
And
where
all
other
were
tossed
,
as
with
the
Sea
,
he
onely
was
in
quietnesse
,
some
of
the
sodaine
throwen
downe
,
other
rysing
againe
,
from
their
former
myseries
.
He
was
in
admiration
,
for
that
he
dyd
not
onely
foresee
thinges
to
come
,
but
also
vsed
well
the
things
he
knewe
.
This
was
his
behauiour
alwayes
.
So
as
it
might
be
seene
,
that
Socrates
was
reuiued
againe
:
or
that
from
his
youth
,
he
had
immitated
and
followed
him
,
and
was
transformed
into
him
.
A
plaine
and
symple
manner
of
grace
appeared
in
his
speeche
:
yet
the
sweetnesse
of
his
wordes
,
dyd
moue
his
audience
.
He
was
gentle
to
all
in
conuersation
.
Insomuch
that
they
that
went
from
him
,
were
thought
ambitious
.
And
as
gentle
and
mylde
versies
,
do
easily
and
readily
enter
and
passe
into
euery
mans
eares
,
and
moue
thinges
voyde
of
reason
,
as
they
say
of
Orpheus
.
So
Chrysanthius
speeche
was
harmonious
to
all
men
,
as
it
agreed
and
was
fytte
for
such
a
diuersitye
of
manners
.
Yet
was
hee
styffe
and
stable
in
his
sentence
and
opinion
,
for
the
which
he
sawe
most
men
at
controuerly
.
Seldome
shoulde
any
man
heare
him
boast
of
his
learning
,
or
bee
thereby
the
more
insolent
to
others
:
what
they
sayde
,
he
praysed
,
though
it
were
not
well
sayde
.
Hee
allowed
an
opinion
,
though
it
were
not
of
the
●est
,
as
though
he
hearde
it
not
throughly
,
seeming
to
bee
borne
to
please
,
and
not
to
offende
.
If
there
were
any
motion
,
by
the
presence
of
some
learned
men
:
and
hee
mynd●ug
to
saye
any
thing
of
the
coutrouersie
,
all
was
full
or
scilence
,
as
though
there
had
bene
noman
.
So
neyther
int●●rogations
,
diuisions
,
nor
repetions
,
were
requyred
of
him
,
but
refrayned
from
disputation
and
contradiction
,
least
they
should
seeme
to
fall
into
manifest
fault
.
Many
that
dyd
but
meanely
knowe
him
,
and
coulde
not
conceyue
the
depthe
of
his
minde
,
blamed
his
symple
speeche
,
and
onelye
praysed
his
myldnesse
of
mynde
.
But
when
they
hearde
him
dyspute
,
and
wrapping
himselfe
,
with
reasons
into
pr●cepres
,
they
thought
him
to
be
another
manner
man
,
than
they
supposed
.
So
vnlyke
dyd
he
seeme
vnto
him selfe
,
in
matters
of
controuersie
.
His
heayres
stoode
ryght
vp
as
in
a
feare
,
and
his
eyes
testified
,
that
his
minde
was
rapt
,
about
his
doctrine
.
Lyuing
to
great
yeares
,
he
spent
his
dayes
,
without
the
cares
of
mans
causes
:
but
onely
for
prouision
of
familie
,
mayntenance
of
the
Plowe
,
and
gayne
that
was
iust
.
He
better
dyd
beare
penury
,
than
others
plenty
.
His
dyet
was
such
,
as
might
be
easily
gotten
.
He
neuer
eate
Porke
,
and
syldome
any
other
flesh
.
Alwayes
worshipping
God
,
he
applyed
the
reading
of
olde
Authors
,
diligently
.
He
differed
neyther
in
age
,
nor
in
youth
.
For
being
fowre
score
yeares
olde
:
he
wrote
so
many
Bookes
with
his
owne
hand
,
as
few
young
men
can
reade
ouer
:
wherby
his
fyngers
endes
,
for
the
continuall
vse
,
waxed
crooked
.
When
he
rose
from
study
,
he
recreated
his
mynde
by
walking
softly
abroade
,
taking
this
wryter
with
him
.
He
would
walke
a
good
way
,
but
fayre
and
easily
.
So
as
it
might
be
thought
,
he
had
paine
in
his
feete
,
so
much
was
hee
caryed
,
with
declaration
of
the
trueth
.
Bathes
he
seldome
vsed
,
yet
alwayes
seemed
as
he
had
bene
washed
.
As
touching
the
company
of
great
men
,
hee
refused
not
for
arrogancie
or
pride
,
but
as
it
may
be
iudged
for
simplicitie
,
as
a
man
ignoraunt
of
power
,
yet
he
talked
with
them
openly
,
and
plainly
.
He
taught
the
wryter
hereof
,
being
young
,
who
came
to
him
to
Athens
.
And
continued
his
loue
towarde
him
,
as
his
Childe
,
encreasing
it
with
dayly
beneuolence
.
And
so
much
encreased
in
learning
this
wryter
,
as
in
the
morning
,
he
taught
others
,
and
read
Rhetorique
to
them
that
woulde
heare
it
.
And
after
noone
resorted
to
his
chiefe
master
to
learn
more
diuine
and
Philosophicall
matter
,
which
was
not
painefull
,
because
he
bestowed
it
vpon
his
deere
beloued
:
and
to
him
,
so
readily
taking
it
,
the
worke
was
a
pastime
.
Than
the
Christian
state
preuayling
,
and
ruling
He
came
dyrectly
from
Constantinople
to
Asia
,
and
appoynted
Hilarius
an
officer
,
who
was
of
his
owne
Some
of
these
put
their
trust
in
flattering
,
lyke
chyldren
,
hoping
that
way
,
to
get
honour
,
glorie
,
or
gayne
.
There
was
a
publique
Feast
proclaymed
,
at
the
which
all
we●●
present
,
and
among
others
,
the
wryter
hereof
.
Iustus
marking
well
,
and
beholding
the
Sacrifice
which
lay
out
of
order
,
asked
of
them
that
were
present
,
what
the
forme
of
that
manner
of
falling
of
the
Host
,
meant
.
Here
the
flatterers
were
styrred
with
a
great
maruayle
,
that
he
coulde
diuine
by
Fygure
,
and
affyrmed
that
he
onely
knew
it
.
The
grauer
sort
,
stryking
their
beardes
with
their
fyngers
endes
,
staying
their
countenaunces
,
and
shaking
their
heads
,
slowly
and
leysurely
,
behelde
the
thing
as
it
laye
,
and
sayde
some
one
thing
,
and
some
another
.
Iustus
scarcely
refrayning
from
laughter
,
turned
to
Chrysanthius
,
speaking
a
lowde
,
what
saye
you
olde
man
?
Chrysanthius
being
nothing
abashed
,
sayde
:
he
disallowed
all
.
And
if
you
(
sayde
he
)
wyll
haue
me
speake
,
what
way
there
is
of
diuination
:
say
you
first
what
kindes
you
know
,
and
of
what
forme
,
of
what
question
,
and
what
prefixed
manner
,
it
proceedeth
.
And
if
you
tell
this
,
I
wyll
shew
,
what
the
apparance
sygnifyeth
to
come
,
before
you
declare
this
,
it
were
a
rude
parte
of
mee
to
aunswere
to
your
interrogation
,
and
to
shewe
of
thinges
to
come
,
seeing
the
Goddes
wyll
sygnifie
sufficiently
,
what
shall
be
,
and
ioygne
that
,
that
is
,
with
that
which
must
be
hereafter
.
By
this
reason
,
there
shoulde
be
two
interrogations
,
and
no
man
is
asked
at
ones
,
of
two
or
more
,
for
in
thinges
defynite
,
controuersies
hath
not
one
consyderation
.
Than
Iustus
cryed
,
that
he
learned
that
he
neuer
knew
before
,
and
ceassed
not
from
that
tyme
to
learne
that
he
knewe
not
,
by
conferrin●
with
him
priuatelye
,
to
knowe
from
the
foun●ayne
,
that
of
which
he
was
ignoraunt
.
At
this
tyme
,
many
that
had
names
of
learning
,
came
to
talke
with
Chrysanthius
,
moued
by
the
fame
of
his
excellent
knowledge
.
But
when
they
perceyued
that
they
were
farre
inferiour
to
that
Maiestie
that
was
in
him
,
they
went
their
wayes
.
The
lyke
happened
to
Hellespontius
of
Galatia
,
a
Chrysanthius
had
a
sonne
,
of
the
name
of
his
Maister
,
Aedesius
at
Pergamo
,
of
whome
we
haue
spoken
before
,
who
from
a
chylde
,
enclyned
to
vertue
,
as
Phaedro
,
resembleth
two
partes
of
the
mind
,
to
Horses
,
and
the
thyrd
,
to
the
Carte●s
.
one
that
with
wynges
was
created
to
flie
to
it
.
Not
hauing
but
one
of
the
Horses
that
Plato
speaketh
of
,
neyther
a
puffed
minde
,
but
quicke
&
swyft
to
knowledge
,
whollye
bent
to
the
honour
of
God
,
and
so
much
aboue
the
affections
of
the
body
,
as
he
seemed
almost
to
be
created
of
the
mind
eonely
.
His
body
in
mouing
,
was
so
delyuer
,
as
is
to
be
scarcelye
credyted
,
as
one
(
according
to
the
Poets
)
that
was
caryed
in
the
ayre
.
He
had
such
familiaritie
with
diuine
matter
,
and
that
so
easily
,
and
so
readily
,
that
it
was
superfluous
to
set
a
Garlande
on
his
head
,
but
looking
onely
against
the
Sunne
,
hee
vttred
true
Oracles
,
and
conformable
to
that
kinde
that
commeth
from
a
pure
diuination
.
Yet
he
knew
no
verse
,
nor
was
sufficiently
learned
in
Grammer
.
So
God
wrought
all
thinges
in
him
.
Neuerthelesse
,
at
the
determined
ende
of
his
lyfe
,
he
dyed
:
at
the
twentie
yeare
of
his
age
.
Than
his
father
declared
himselfe
to
be
a
Philosopher
.
For
eyther
the
rauishment
of
his
sences
made
him
voyde
of
affections
,
or
the
patience
of
his
minde
,
made
him
beare
the
losse
of
his
sonne
.
And
the
mother
,
hauing
regarde
to
her
husbande
,
passed
the
nature
of
a
woman
,
refrayning
from
all
lamentation
,
though
the
passion
were
most
grieuous
.
After
these
matters
,
Chrysanthius
returned
to
his
studies
.
And
many
great
&
publique
causes
chauncing
,
that
droue
mennes
mindes
to
feare
,
he
onely
remayned
without
trouble
,
that
it
might
seeme
,
he
was
not
of
the
earth
.
At
this
time
Hellespontius
came
to
him
,
but
seldome
entred
disputation
.
But
when
they
were
at
it
,
Hellespontius
was
so
rapte
,
as
he
lest
all
to
abyde
with
Chrysanthius
,
and
learned
lyke
a
young
man
,
and
repented
he
had
lost
so
much
tyme
,
and
was
so
olde
,
before
he
had
tasted
of
so
healthfull
doctrine
.
So
wholly
dyd
he
geue
his
minde
to
him
.
Chrysanthius
would
be
let
blood
,
as
he
was
woont
:
when
this
wryter
was
present
,
as
he
commaunded
.
When
the
Phisitians
agreed
that
he
shoulde
stryke
a
vaine
,
he
attended
to
see
it
done
accordingly
.
And
affyrmed
that
it
was
rashly
and
vnaduisedly
done
,
to
take
so
much
blood
,
and
commaunded
him
to
be
stopped
.
For
this
wryter
was
not
ignoraunt
of
Phisicke
.
Hellespontius
hearing
of
it
,
came
in
great
anger
,
and
chyding
,
as
in
a
great
offence
,
that
so
much
blood
shoulde
be
taken
from
so
olde
a
man
.
But
when
he
sawe
him
safe
,
and
heard
him
speake
,
he
turned
to
this
wryter
,
saying
:
The
Cittie
accused
you
of
a
great
fault
,
but
now
they
wyll
be
styll
,
when
they
see
the
olde
man
safe
,
and
voyde
of
daunger
.
This
man
comming
after
to
Chrysanthius
in
a
publique
cause
,
fell
sicke
by
the
way
of
a
flyxe
,
and
at
Apamea
in
Bythinia
,
dyed
.
Commaunding
his
fellowe
Procopius
,
onelye
to
honour
Chrysanthius
.
Which
thing
Procopius
tolde
,
when
he
was
come
to
Sardis
.
Chrysanthius
in
the
sommer
,
the
yeare
following
,
vsed
the
same
Phisicke
.
And
where
this
wryter
wylled
the
Phisitians
that
they
shoulde
tarry
for
him
,
as
the
maner
was
,
because
he
was
President
.
Yet
they
preuented
him
,
and
let
him
blood
,
and
whylest
he
bled
,
he
put
his
hand
to
his
chyn
,
and
a
sodaine
weaknes
followed
,
with
a
shrynking
of
the
synewes
.
Oribasius
was
called
forthwith
for
his
conning
.
And
he
with
noriture
and
hotte
things
,
restored
strength
againe
,
and
made
him
in
good
case
.
But
age
preuayled
,
which
the
next
yeare
dispatched
him
,
naturall
heate
being
extinct
,
by
the
much
vse
of
fomentations
.
And
so
being
sicke
,
he
dyed
after
the
common
course
of
man
.
Epigonus
and
Beronitianus
.
EPigonus
of
Lacedemonia
,
and
Beronitianus
of
Sardis
,
succeeded
him
in
teaching
.
Men
worthy
the
name
of
Philosophy
.
Beronitianus
was
more
full
of
sweete
grace
,
and
fytte
to
lyue
with
the
multitude
.
And
so
,
I
pray
God
,
he
may
.
