S. Paul saith,1 Luke the Physician, and not, Luke the Painter. He painted the Blessed Virgin with the colours of his speech, wherein he was counted more eloquent, then any of the rest: but otherwise to paint her, he had no leisure. How be it, Theodorus Anagnostes saith,2 Eudoxia sent the same Image from Jerusalem to the Empress Pulcheria: upon what credit, it is not known. But this Simeon Metaphrastes, whom M. Harding here painteth out in his colours, and calleth him a Greek Writer,3 was a poor Schoolmaster in Constantinople, and wrote Saints lives, which may well be called, the Legends of Lies, and lived two hundred years ago, and not above. Of so right good ancient authority be M. Hardinges witnesses.
