1. Where Chrysostom thus expoundeth the place, I know not. Upon the place (I am sure) he hath nothing but this, that aChrist by these words did intimate to them his Deity. Yea so bJansenius also saith, that Chrysostom understandeth these words as spoken to assure them that he came down from heaven. The truth is; this exposition it not Chrysostoms, but Bellarmines, (from whom this Collector hath filched it) who yet to add some grace and procure some weight to an invention of his own, saith that c Chrysostom to him seemeth to point at some such thing. 3And what Bellarmine saith cautiously, and timorously, Chrysostom to him seemeth to point at; that this blind bayard saith boldly and confidently, that Chrysostom saith; and upon the Exposition as backed now sufficiently with Chrysostom, he buildeth a peremptory answer to all mine Objections, that will easily remove them all. Did this man think that these things would ever be examined? Or is his credit so mean already that he need not fear to be discredited, that he dare use such sorry shifts as these are?
