Let any one therefore who will, take up the true faith, together with the open proof of the revelation of our Saviour’s Divinity, from many other great miracles; and particularly from this,—if he will also consider,—that He foreknew by the divine power what should come to pass, and openly foretold the great change to His better (doctrine) which should take place among men throughout the world; and also predicted, that He himself would be the doer of this: and from these very deeds, let such place faith in (this) His promise. Many other great and evident proofs of His Godhead moreover, (afforded) in many things similar to these, will any one, carefully enquiring, find from His predictions with their fulfilment: which we ourselves shall also examine in this work at the proper time. But, that which we now have before our eyes,—that our discourse may not lengthen itself greatly out, so as to detain thee upon all His mighty works—is the death, which (His) Interpreter,—the clothing of the Word of God, and the Image that was openly revealed,—underwent, and which (event) every one acknowledges.
