1And amongst other cities of Asia and Jovia, Ephesus was most famous, called in the old time the light of Asi• And amongst the xii. cities of Jovia accounted the prince pall.2 Neither was there any other richer or more beautiful Church seen any where in Asia, than the temple of Diana […] Ephesus. It stood in the midst of the city, a great wond• of the Greek magnificence, as writeth Pliny. This temp• is said to have ben two hundred and twenty years in m• king ⟨p. 49⟩of all Asia: And set in a fenny ground, that it should feel of no earth quakes nor opening of the earth. The length of •t was .ccccxxv. foot, the breadth .ccxx. It had pillars an hundred twenty and seven, dedicated of so many kings. Seek the rest out of the epitome of the famous D. Joachim Vadiane. The apostle S. Paul first illumined this city with the •eame of the Gospel. Whose epistle to the same city remaineth, and a plentiful story in the acts of the Apostles. After Paul was executed, John went to Ephesus,3 and from thence preached to all Asia: from thence also was he brought to Rome •o the emperor Domitian: To Ephesus he returned after his exile: and there at length as the ecclesiastical stories do testify, he slept in the Lord.
1And amonges other cities of Asia and Iouia, Ephesu• was most famouse, called in the olde time the lighte of Asi• And amonges the xii. cities of Iouia accompted the princ• pall.2
