English (Theron) [1] . . . But he was [1] quibus tamen interfuit et present among them, and ita posuit. so he put [the facts down in his Gospel.] [2] The third book of the Gospel [is that] according to Luke. [3] Luke, "the" [2] tertium euangelii librum physician, [4] after the secundum Lucam. [3] Lucas ascension of Christ, [5] iste medicus [4] post when Paul had taken him ascensum Christi [5] cum eum with him as a companion Paulus quasi itineris sui of his traveling, [6] [and socium [6] secum adsumsisset after he had made] an nomine suo ex opinione investigation, wrote in his conscripsit [7] Dominum own name [7] but tamen nec ipse uidit in carne neither did he see the [8] et idem prout assequi Lord in the flesh [8] potuit: [9] ita et a nativitate and thus, as he was able Iohannis incepit dicere. to investigate, [9] so he also begins to tell the story [starting] from the nativity of John. [10] The fourth [book] of the Gospels is that of John [one] of the [10] quarti euangeliorum disciples. [11] When his Iohannis ex discipulis. [11] fellow-disciples and cohortantibus condiscipulis et bishops urged [him], he episcopis suis dixit [12] said: [12] "Fast together Conieiunate mihi hodie with me today for three triduum, [13] et quid cuique days [13] and, what shall fuerit reuelatum alteratrum be revealed to each, let us nobis enarremus. [14] eadem tell [it] to each other." nocte reuelatum Andreae ex [14] On that same night it apostolis, ut recognoscentibus was revealed to Andrew, cunctis, Iohannes suo nomine [one] of the Apostles, cuncta describeret. that, with all of them reviewing [it], John should describe all things in his own name. [15] et ideo licet varia singulis [15] And so, although euangeliorum libris principia different beginnings doceantur [16] nihil tamen might be taught in the differt credentium fidei, [17] separate books of the

[20] quid ergo mirum si iohannes tam constanter sincula etia in epistulis suis proferam dicens in semeipsu [21] quae uidimus oculis nostris et auribus audiuimus et manus nostrae palpauerunt haec scripsimus uobis [22] sic enim non solum uisurem sed & auditorem sed & scriptore omnium mirabiliu dni per ordinem profetetur

cum uno ac principali spiritu Gospels, [16] declarata sint in omnibus nevertheless it makes no omnia [18] de natiuitate, de difference to the faith of passione, de resurrectione, de believers, [17] since all conuersatione cum discipulis things in all [of them] are suis, [19] et de gemino eius declared by the one aduentu, primum in humilitate sovereign Spirit [18] despectus, quod fuit, concering [His] nativity, secundum potestate regali concering [His] passion, praeclarum, quod futurum est. concerning [His] resurrection, concerning [His] walk with His disciples, [19] and concerning His double advent: the first in humility when He was despised, which has been; the second in royal power, glorious, which is to be. [20] What marvel, therefore, if John so [20] quid ergo mirum, si constantly brings forward Iohannes tam constanter particular [matters] also singula etiam in epistolis suis in his Epistles, saying of proferat dicens in semetipso himself: [21] "What we [21] Quae uidimus oculis have seen with our eyes nostris, et auribus audiuimus, and have heard with [our] et manus nostrae palpauerunt, ears and our hands have haec scripsimus uobis? [22] handled, these things we Sic enim non solum uisorem, have written to you." [22] sed et auditorem, sed et For thus he declares that scriptorem omnium he was not only an mirabilium Domini per eyewitness and hearer, ordinem profitetur. but also a writer of all the wonderful things of the Lord in order. [23] Acta autem omnium [23] The Acts of all the apostolorum sub uno libro Apostles, however, were scripta sunt. [24] Lucas written in one volume.

profectionem Pauli ab urbe ad relates the death of Peter Spaniam proficiscentis. (?) [26] and also Paul's departure from the city as he was proceeding to Spain. [27] The Epistles of Paul themselves, however, show to those, who wish to know, which [they [27] Epistolae autem Pauli, are], from what place, quae, a quo loco, uel qua ex and for what cause they causa directae sint, uolentibus were sent. [28] First of all intelligere ipsae declarant. he wrote to the [28] primum omnium Corinthians, admonishing Corinthiis schisma haeresis against schism of heresy; interdicens, [29] deinceps [29] thereupon to the Galatis circumcisionem, [30] Galatians [admonishing Romanis autem ordine against] circumcision; scripturarum, sed et [30] to the Romans, principium earum esse however, [he wrote] Christum intimans, prolixius rather lengthily pointing scripsit; out with a series of Scripture quotations that Christ is their main theme also (?). [31] But it is necessary that we have a discussion singly concerning these, [31] de quibus singulis [32] since the blessed necesse est a nobis disputari; Apostle Paul himself, [32] cum ipse beatus imitating the example of Apostolus Paulus sequens his predecessor, John, prodecessoris sui Iohannis wrote to seven churches ordinem, nonnisi nominatim only by name [and] in septem ecclesiis scribat ordine this order: [33] The first tali: [33] ad Corinthios prima, [Epistle] to the ad Ephesios secunda, ad Corinthians, the second Philippenses tertia, ad to the Ephesians, the third Colossenses quarta, ad to the Philippians, the Galatas quinta, ad fourth to the Colossians, Thessalonicensibus sexta, ad the fifth to the Galatians, Romanos septima. the sixth to the Thessalonians, and the seventh to the Romans. [34] uerum Corinthiis, et [34] But, although he

wrote twice to the Corinthians and to the Thessalonians, for reproof (?), [35] nevertheless [it is evident that] one Church is made known to be diffused throughout the whole globe of the earth. [36] For John also, though he wrote in the Apocalypse to seven churches, nevertheless he speaks to them all. [37] But he [wrote] one [letter] to Philemon and [37] uerum ad Philemonem one to Titus, but two to [37] ueru ad filemonem una et at unam, et ad Titum unam, et ad Timothy for the sake of tituuna et ad tymotheu duas pro affecto Timotheum duas pro affectu affection and love.
