And, to leave other like sayings, and sentences of the Ancient Fathers, Pope Adrian saith in your late Council of Nice,1 In Scripturis Sanctarum imaginum Agnus Praecursoris digito ostensus depingitur: 2In the Scriptures of the Holy Images, is painted the Lamb of God, that John Baptiste showed with his finger.

These sayings must be qualified with a gentle Exposition: and may not be racked extremely to the sound, and rigour of the Letter. Chrysostom thus expoundeth these words of S. Paul to the Galathians:1 Quibus Christus ante Oculos priùs depictus erat, in vobis Crucifixus. Atqui Christus non apud Galathas, sed Hierosolymis fuit Crucifixus. Quomodo igitur dicit, in vobis? Ut ostendat vim Fidei, quae potest etiam procul dissita cernere: indicans, quòd illi oculis Fidei, exactiùs cernerent, quàm nonnulli, qui praesentes adfuerant, eaque, quae gerebantur, conspexerant: Unto whom Christ was painted out, and Crucified among you before your Eyes. Yet was not Christ Crucified in Galathia, but at Jerusalem. How then saith S. Paul unto the Galatians, Christ was Crucified amongst you? His meaning was, to show the strength of Faith, which is able to see things, though they be far away: and that they by the Eyes of Faith saw the Death of Christ more plainly, and perfectly, then many, that were present at his Death, and saw those things that were done.
