It continues] He is not the Wandering jew, nor an old Levite, nor St John, as some people imagine, it seems his generation was in the world before Adam and in the ark with Noah, and with Christ when Condemned to be crucified, The Scripture makes mention of him. He is no imposter He knoweth not his parents, nor ever did Suck the breast of his mother, His beard is the colour of vermillion, and is seldom or ever cut. he goes barefooted like a grey friar, He wears neither hat cap, nor wig. His coat is neither wove, knit spun or made with hands, neither is it silk.?
