the Author of the Revelations , as well as of thefirst Epistle that goes under his Name.

7. Apollonius, An. 192.

He wrote learnedly and largely against the He-resy of Mont anus, and produced 'Testimonies againstthem from the Revelations, as we learn from Eu-febius Hist. Eccl. I 5. c. 18. Where the said A-pollonius further affirms, that John the Author ofthem raised a Man from the Dead. A Circum-stance that pretty evidently points out John theApostle.

8. Tertullian , Anno 198. according to some.An. 206.

This ancient and most acute Writer cites theRevelations, as well in those Books which hewrote whilst a Catholick , as in those which hepublished after he fell off to Montanistn ; particu-larly in his third Book against Marcion , c. 14.speaking of the two-edged Sword in the Revela-tions , he says, Apostolus Joannes in Apocalypst en-Jem defcribit, &c. i. e. John the Apostle in theApocalypse describes the Sword , &c.

In a Word we do not find that any one Catho-lick Writer, for above an hundred Years after theRevelations came abroad, ever ascribed it to anyother Author than John the Apostle. Severalwithin that Period plainly declare it to be his,and many others cite it as Canonical Scripture.
