THE ARGVMENT OF S. LVKES GOSPEL.
S.
Lukes Gospel may be diuided into fiue partes.
The first part is, of the Infancie both of the precursor, and
of Christ him selfe: chap. 1 and 2.
The second, of the Preparation that vvas made to the manifestation
of Christ: chap. 3 and a piece of the 4.
The third, of Christes manifesting him selfe, by preaching
and miracles, specially in Galilee: the other piece of the 4 chap.
vnto the middes of the 17.
The fourth of his comming into Iurie tovvards his Pa&esset;ion: the other piece of
the 17 chap. vnto the middes of the 19.
The fifth, of the Holy weeke of his Pa&esset;ion in Hierusalem: the other part of
the 19 chap. vnto the end of the booke.
S. Luke vvas sectator (saith S. Hierome) that is, a disciple of the Apostle
Paul, and a companion of al his peregrination. note And the same vve see in the
Actes of the Apostles: Vvhere, from the 16 chap. S. Luke putteth him selfe in the
traine of S. Paul, vvriting thus in the storie. Forthwith we sought to goe
into Macedonia. and in like maner, in the first person, commonly through the
rest of that booke. Of him and his Gospel, S. Hierom vnderstandeth this saying of
S. Paul: Vve haue sent with him the brother, vvhose praise is in the
Gospel through al Churches. where also he addeth: Some suppose, so
often as Paul in his Epistles saith, According to my Gospel, that he
meaneth of Lukes booke. note And againe: Luke learned the Gospel not onely
of the Apostle Paul, who had not been with our Lord in flesh, but
of the other Apostles: which him selfe also in the beginning of his
booke declareth, saying, As they deliuered to vs who them selues from
the beginning saw, and were ministers of the word. note It foloweth in S. Hierome:
Therfore he wrote the Gospel, as he had heard. but the Actes of
the Apostles he compiled as he had seen. S. Paul vvriteth of him by name
to the Colo&esset;ians: Luke the Physicion saluteth you. and to Timothee: Luke
alone is with me. note Finally of his end thus doth S. Hierome vvrite: He liued
fourescore and foure yeres, hauing no wife. He is buried at Constantinople:
to vvhich citie his bones vvith the Relikes of Andrew the
Apostle were translated out of Achaia the twentith yere of note Constantinus. note
And of the same Translation also in another place against Vigilantius
the Heretike: It grieueth him that the Relikes of the Martyrs are couered
with pretious couerings, and that they are not either tied in cloutes or
throwen to the dunghil. why, are we then note sacrilegious, when we enter
the Churches of the Apostles? Was note Constantinus the Emperour sacrilegious,
who translated to Constantinople the holy Relikes of Andrew,
Luke, and Timothee: at which the Diuels rore, and the inhabiters
of Vigilantius confesse that they feele their presence?
His sacred body is novv at Padua in Italie, Vvither it vvas againe translated
from Constantinople.
