Eusebius sayeth very well in the end of the third bo•• speaking of Papias, the first author of the Millenaries He thought, sayeth he, that after the resurrection Chri•• should reign here corporally with his a thousand yea•• in earth.

But in the mean time Dionysius him self, I, saith h• ⟨p. 7⟩dare not reject this book. He addeth by and by, that he thinketh it not yet to be the book of John the Apostle, but of some other, but yet who that should be, he knew not. He gathereth also by certain conjectures, by the phrase of speech, and handling of the book, and by the unlikeness of wit, that this book should be an other mans, than his that wrote the Gospel, and Epistle. But seeing that the arguments of the story and Epistle be so diverse, that neither they two be like, and the argument of the book of Revelation most diverse of all: Why should it seem marvel, though it agreeth not with them in all things?
