In Eusebius we read in like manner a part of an Epistle written by Irenaeus to Florinus, 1wherein is declared how that the said Irenaeus being yet young, was with Policarpus in Asia: at what time he saw & well remembered, what Policarpus did, and the place where he sat teaching, his who•e order of life and proportion of his body, with the sermons & words which he said to the people. And furthermore, he perfectly remembered how that the said Policarpus often times reported unto him those things which he learned and heard them speak of the Lord,2 his doings, power, and doctrine, who heard the word of life with their own ears, all which were more consonant and agreeable to the holy Scripture. Thus with much more hath Irenaeus, concerning Policarpus.3
