One other of these witness is Obadiah,1 and he is brought in with all his titles: the Bishop of Babylon, planted there by the Apostles: one that was conversant with Christ, and heard him preach, and saw him in the flesh: and was present all the martyrdom of S. Andrew: with all other circumstances that may gather credit among the simple. Of this Obadiah somewhat must be spoken, and so much the more, for that his name is so glorious. He was sought out, and found, and set abroad of very late years, under the name of Obadiah, by one Wolphgangus Zazius, a man that taketh great pains to force men to believe it is the very self same Obadiah that he maketh him self to be: and therefore he saith, he was one of the .lxxij. Disciples, ordered Bishop by the Apostles, and that S. Luke the Evangelist writing the Acts of the Apostles borrowed many whole stories word by word out of him. Then was S. Luke very unthankful, that never once made mention of his author.
