Rainoldes. That, as light as you make it, did move Cardinal qCaietan to doubt of the man. But the proof that I meant, is such as yours against Perkin: to wit that Dionysius Areopagita was dead many years, before the works, which bear his name, could be written. For there is cited in rthem a saying of Ignatius, out of an epistle which he wrote (to the Romans) as he was going to suffer martyrdom sin the time of Trajan the Emperor. Now Dionysius died tin the time of Domitian, certain years before. And uwhen Ignatius wrote it, Onesimus was Bishop of Ephesus, who succeeded Timothy. Your xcounterfeit allegeth it to Timothy Bishop of Ephesus, either after his decease, or before it was written. Moreover, the Christians in Dionysius time made their assemblies to prayer, both in such places, and with such simplicity, as ythe Apostles did, and times of persecution suffered. But when your counterfeit wrote, they had solemn temples like the temple of the Jews: & the zChancel severed with such sanctification from the rest of the Church, that it was not lawful for monks to enter thereinto, much less for other lay-men. Again athe monks also were risen when he wrote, and they of credit in the Churches, and many ceremonies to hallow them. Which in the time of the Apostles, when Dionysius lived, were not heard of yet: for any thing that can be proved by monuments of antiquity.
