2 Peter1:16
Verſe 16. Cunningly deviſed fables] Artificially compoſed and compiled, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. not without a ſhew of wiſdome and truth, to deceive ſilly people. The Jeſuites confeſſe that the legend of miracles of their Saints is for moſt part falſe: but it was made, ſay they, for good intention, that the common-people (the females eſpecially) might be drawn with greater zeal to ſerve God and his Saints.
