Now having encompassed you with so great a cloud of witnesses, you may discern what truth is in the oppositions that are made to this Paschal Fast of Lent. That which passeth with many for most current, is which some Authors after the 800th year of Christ have spoken of Telesphorus the 7th Bishop of Rome, in the 40th year after the Death of S. Iohn. For some being not able to deny such (at least) Antiquity of the Fast of Lent, they were willing to feign it instituted by Telesphorus. The foundation of this error, (that so impos'd upon some grave Writers after 800 years,) was a forgery and interpolation practised upon that ancient and renowned Record of Church-history, the Chronicle of Eusebius. Into which in the page 198. ad annum MMCXLVIII, after the story of Chocebas, was thrust in contrary to all the Copies Manuscript, contrary also to the copies of Marianus, Bede, and Isidore, that Telesphorus ( viz. in that year) did institute the Fast of Lent. And in pursuance of their forgery they did proceed and devise to thrust into the same Chronicle of Eusebius, ad annum MMCLVIII, contrary unto the Faith of all ancient copies, that Pius the 9th Bishop of Rome did institute the celebration of the Paschal Feast ▪ Two opposite sorts of persons drinking down willingly, and sputtering abroad these Reports: |
Now having encompassed you with so great a cloud of Witnesses, you may discern what truth is in the oppositions that Are made to this Paschal Fast of Lent. That which passes with many for most current, is which Some Authors After the 800th year of christ have spoken of Telesphorus the 7th Bishop of Rome, in the 40th year After the Death of S. John. For Some being not able to deny such (At least) Antiquity of the Fast of Lent, they were willing to feign it instituted by Telesphorus. The Foundation of this error, (that so imposed upon Some grave Writers After 800 Years,) was a forgery and interpolation practised upon that ancient and renowned Record of Church history, the Chronicle of Eusebius.
