And if the Gentiles had but known of the Messiah, why did not their Poets and Philosophers who in their writings notoriously abuse the Jews with sundry anicknames, at the least signify the contempt of the Redeemer. Wherefore to hold, and much more to avouch by writing, that all and every one of the heathen were called, it is most absurd: and if it were so, the Cannibals and the savage nations of America should have known Christ without preaching which by the histories of the discovery of those countries, is known to be false.
