There is a famous passage I have met with in Chrysostom, to this purpose; he brings in Christ comforting his Disciples against reproaches, speaking thus unto them: *What, is the wrong grievous unto you, that now they call you seducers and conjurers? it will not be long before they shall openly call you the Saviours and blessings of the whole world; that time that shall declare all things that are now hid, shall rebuke them for their lying words against you, and ⟨p. 391⟩shall kindle the splendour of your virtue; so they shall be found liars, evil speakers, false accusers of others, but you shall be more clear and illustrious then the Sun, and you shall have all men witnesses of your glory.

- *An gra vis injuria est quia seductores ci Magos vos vocant? certe non multo post salvatores vos benefuctoresque totius orbis praedicabunt.
