As seven Cities strove about Homers birth, so there are many places which challenge an interest in this holy Apostle. Hierome brings it as the common opinion of his time, that he was born in Giscalis a Town in Iudaea, and bred up in Tarsus. But in another place he recants this opinion and yet it is revived by Beda, Masius, and Arias Montanus. Some say hee was born in Graecia, others that hee was a Citizen of Rome. But (as Lorinus well saith) Paulo ipsi natale suum prodenti solum credendum est, Wee must believe Paul above all other witnesses, He saith expresly, That hee was NONLATINALPHABET Born in Tarsus, indeed he saith of himself that he was a Roman, But how? Not by birth ▪ but because Tarsus was invested with the Roman privileges. There was a time when it was a singular Prerogative to be a Citizen of Rome, Haec vox civis Romanus sum, saepe in ultimis Terris, &c.

It is a notable saying of Gregory the great, A King may command his Subjects to call a Lyon a Lamb, but he cannot make a Lyon to be a Lamb; A King may give a man noble Titles, but he cannot make the man a noble man, because he cannot give him a noble and vertuous minde. And therefore you that are nobly born must labour to be nobly and vertuously minded.
