John20:7

Verſe 7. And the napkin that was about his head] Theſe grave-cloaths were evidences of our Saviours reſurrection, and are therefore mentioned by the Evangeliſt. But what ſhift made Paleottus Archbiſhop of Bonony for matter, who wrote a great book of the ſhadow of Chriſts dead body in the ſindon or linen-cloth, wherein it was wrapped? This book was alſo commented upon by the Profeſſour of Divinity there. Had not theſe men little to doe? Did they not, as one ſaith, Magno conatu magnas nugas agere?

Tenet inſanabile multos ſcribendi cacoethes.
