Excerpt from Eusebius, Bishop of C sarea on the Theophania or Divine Manifestation of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: Translated Into English With Notes, From an Ancient Syriac Version of the Greek Original Now Lost; To Which Is Prefixed a Vindication of the Orthodoxy, and Prophetical Views, of That Distinguished Writer

Having now to discharge the very agreeable duty of pre senting to the Christian Church (in a translation), a long lost work of one of its most learned and laborious Pastors, my first duty will be, to give the best account I can of this Work; my second, to describe the Manuscript from which it has been taken my third, to lay down the principles by which I have been guided, both in editing the Syriac text of this Manuscript, and in making and illustrating my Eng lish Translation of it. When I shall have done these things, I shall, - because some of the opinions of my author have been branded as heretical, and some others will in all pro hability be considered as groundless and untenable, I mean those which contain his views on Prophecy, - give as brief and candid a review of these opinions as I can leaving it to the reader to make the conclusions for himself, which he shall deem right and just.
