IN the days of TIBERIUS CAESAR the Emperour , Publius Lentulus being at that time President in Judea , wrote an Epistle to the Senate of Rome , the words whereof were tbese , as followeth ,

THE SAUIOUR OF THE WORLD IESUS CHRIST Psalm 45.2 .

Fairer then the Children of men

THere appeared in these our days a Man of great virtue , called JESUS CHRIST , who is yet living amongst us , and of the People is accepted for a Prophet , but his own Disciples call him the Son of God .

He raiseth the Dead and cureth all manner of Diseases , a Man of stature somewhat Tall and Comely , with a very reverend Countenence , such as the beholders may both Love and Fear , his Hair of the colour of a Chestnut full ripe , and plain almost down to his ears , but from the ears downward somewhat curled , and more orient of colour waving about his Shoulders .

In the middest of his Head goeth a seam or partition of his Hair , after the manner of the Nazarites ; his Forehead very plain and smooth ; his Face without spot or wrinckle , beautified with a comely red ; his Nose and Mouth so formed as nothing can be reprehended ; his Beard somewhat thick , agreable in colour to the Hair of his Head not of any great length , but forked in the midst ; of an innocent look ; his Eys gray , clear , and quick .

In reproving he is severe , in admonishing courteous , and fair-spoken , pleasant in speech mixed with gravity .

It cannot be remembred that any have seen him laugh , but many have seen him weep : in proportion of Body well shaped and straight , his Hands and Armes very delectable to behold ; in speaking , very temperate , modest , and wise .

A Man for his singular beauty surpassing the Children of Men.

LONDON , Printed for Francis Smith at the Elephant and Castle near the Royal Exchange in Cornhil .
