AN EPITLE OF PVBLIVES LENTVLVS WRITten to the Senat and people of Rome , concerning the true description , and portraiture of JesusChrist , gathered out of an old nanuscript booke , in the library of the College of Brasennose IN OXFORD .

IN the time of Octavius Cesar ; when it was accustomed that those who were gouernours of provinces , and countries vnder the Senate , and people of Rome , did certefie the Senators who were at Rome of all strange events , and novelties , which happened in their severall Countries , and climats of the world : Publius Lentulus at that time , being in Iuric the gouernour ouer that Country , wrot vnto the Senate and people of Rome in these words .

THere arised in my time , and yet there is a man of great power and vertue , whose name is Jesus Christ , who is called the Prophet of the truth : and of his Disciples is called the sonne of God : hee raiseth vp the dead , and healeth maladies , and diseases of the people , he is of stature tale , and comely , of countenance graue , whom who so beholdeth cannot but loue , & withal feare him , his haires are of the colour of a ripe filbird , plaine and smooth almost to the eares , from the eares curled and somewhat paler , and brighter of colour ; from the shoulders tost and carried with the wind , being divided in the midst of the head after the manner of the Nazarits : his forehead smooth and passing faire , his face without any the least staine , or wrincle , beautified with a moderate ruddinesse , his nose and mouth very well proportioned , hauing his beard full and copious , of the same colour with his haires not very long , but forked in the midst , his looke quick and cheerefull , his eies shining & cleere : he is merry but with modestie , and gravity , whom never any man knewe to laugh , but often to weepcin reproofe he is terrible , in admonishing milde , his hands and armes comely to behold , in talke sober , distinct , and modest , beautifull , faire , aboue others the fonnes of men .

Farewell
