Concerning the Images of Christ and of his Saints,1 that they have been greatly esteemed and used in houses,2 Churches, and places of prayer from the Apostles time forward, it is so evident, that it can not be denied. Athanasius writeth that Nicodeme, who came to Jesus by night, made an Image of Christ with his own hands, and that, when he lay in his death• bed, he delivered it to Gamaliel, who was S. Pauls Schoolmaster. Gamaliel when he saw he should dye, leaf•e it to James:3 James left it to Simon and Zachaeus. This Image came from hand to hand by succession, and continued a long time in Hierusalem• From Jerusalem it was carried into Syria, and at length it was brought to the City Berytus, not far from Tyre and Sidon. Where how despitefully it was used of the Jews,4 and what wonders ensued thereupon, who list to know, he may read it largely declared in a little book written by Athanasius of that matter.
