Eusebius Caesariensis in the seventh book of his Ecclesiastical story,1 writeth of the ancient Image of Christ made in Brass, and of the woman that was healed by our Saviour of her bloody flux in the City of Phoenicia called Caesarea Philippi, whereof that woman was a Citizen. Which Image, he saith, he saw, as likewise the Images of Peter and Paul, kept by some of old time. And there he confesseth, that the Images of Peter and Paul, and of our Saviour were in his time made, and painted in •ables,2 and set forth. After Eusebius death, Julian the renegate took down this Image of Christ, and set up his own in the same place: which with violent fire that fell from heaven, was cleft asunder in the breast, the head broken of with a piece of the neck, and stuck in the ground: The rest of it so remained long after, as a token of lightning, and Gods displeasure might be reserved. That Image of Christ, after that the Paynims had haled, pulled, broken, and mangled it villainously, by the Christians was taken up, set together, and placed in the Church, where it is yet reserved, saith Socrates of his time. Of the miraculous herb that grew at the foot of this Image, which after that it had grown so high, that it touched the Images skirts, taken, and ministered, was a medicine and present remedy for all diseases, as Eusebius writeth: because it pertaineth not specially to the matter of Images, I rehearse nothing.
