The times wherein Volusianus lived / declare sufficiently how little credit is to be given to his testimony / which were when the mass had place / if not so wicked as it was after / yet notwithstanding far differing from the simplicity of the supper which was left by our saviour Christ. And Eusebius is of more 1credit in this then Volusianus / which saith of the report of Dionysius bishop of Corinth / that S. Paul made Dionysius Areopagita bishop of Athens: he saith not archbishop / but bishop / although he speak twice of it. And in the preface before his works / it is said / that after his conversion / he went to Rome to Clement / and was sent with others of Clement / into the West parts / and that he came to Paris / and was there executed / whether so ever of these opinions is true / that falleth which Volusianus affirmeth. And if either Volusianus or you / will have us believe that Dionysius Areopagita was archbishop of Athens / you must show some better authority then Eusebius or Dionysius bishop of Corinth / and then your cause shall have at the least some more colour of truth.
The tymes wherein Volusianus lyued / declare suffyciently how little credite is to be geuen to hys testimonie / which were when the masse had place / if not so wycked as it was after / yet notwithstanding farre differing from the simplicitie of the supper which was left by our sauiour Christ. And Eusebius is of more 1credite in thys then Volusianus / which sayth of the reporte of Dionisius byshop of Corinthe / that S. Paule made Dionisius Areopagita byshop of Athens: he sayth not archbyshop / but byshop / although he speake twise of it. And in the preface before hys workes / it is fayde / that after hys conuersion / he went to Rome to Clement / and was sent with others of Clement / into the West partes / and that he came to Paris / and was there executed / whether so euer of these opinions is true / that falleth whyche Volusianus affirmeth. And if eyther Volusianus or you / will haue vs beeleue that Dyonisius Areopagita was archbyshoppe of Athens / you must shew some better authoritie then Eusebius or Dyonisius byshop of Corinthe / and then your cause shall haue at the least some more coloure of truthe.
