IN the days of TIBERIUS CAESAR the Emperor, Publius Lentulus being at that time Precedent in Judea, wrote an Epistle to the Senate of Rome, the words whereof were tbese, as followeth, THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD JESUS CHRIST Psalm 45.2. Fairer than the Children of men THere appeared in these our days a Man of great virtue, called JESUS CHRIST, who is yet living amongst us, and of the People is accepted for a Prophet, but his own Disciples call him the Son of God. He raiseth the Dead and cureth all manner of Diseases, a Man of stature somewhat Tall and Comely, with a very reverend Countenance, such as the beholders may both Love and Fear, his Hair of the colour of a Chestnut full ripe, and plain almost down to his ears, but from the ears downward somewhat curled, and more orient of colour waving about his Shoulders. In the midst of his Head goeth a seam or partition of his Hair, after the manner of the Nazarites; his Forehead very plain and smooth; his Face without spot or wrinkle, beautified with a comely red; his Nose and Mouth so form as nothing can be reprehended; his Beard somewhat thick, agreeable in colour to the Hair of his Head not of any great length, but forked in the midst; of an innocent look; his Eyes grey, clear, and quick. In reproving he is severe, in admonishing courteous, and fairspoken, pleasant in speech mixed with gravity. It cannot be remembered that any have seen him laugh, but many have seen him weep: in proportion of Body well shaped and strait, his Hands and Arms very delectable to behold; in speaking, very temperate, modest, and wise. A Man for his singular beauty surpassing the Children of Men. LONDON, Printed for Francis Smith at the Elephant and Castle near the Royal Exchange in Cornhill.
