[Here terminates the series of letters of the Jewish
maiden to her father, written during the Procuratorship
of Pontius Pilate, under the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, the
Roman Emperor. They cover a period of three years and
six months, embracing all the events of the Life of John
the Baptist, and of the Holy Jesus of Nazareth, to the day
of His ascension into heaven.

The Roman Centurion, Æmilius, it would appear from
history, became Procurator of the Island of Britain in the
West, and with Adina, his noble lady, was the first to entertain
the Christian Apostle, Saul of Tarsus, otherwise
Paulus, on his visit thither to proclaim at those ends of
the earth the gospel of Jesus the Crucified, in obedience

to the command left by Him with His disciples, that they
should preach His gospel to every creature.

The first establishment of the Faith of Jesus in this
remote Roman barbaric Province by the Jewish Apostle,
and its spread throughout the island, are to be found written
in detail in certain letters, which the daughter of
Æmilius and of Adina wrote to her brother, a Roman
knight at Rome.]
