Out of Africa, those of the Cyrenians and Alexandrians in Egypt. Out of Europe, those of the libertines of Rome. Behold here an admirable act kept, wherein St. Stephen was the answerer, against whom opponents were fetched from all the parts of the then known world, and all too few to resist the wisdom and spirit by which he spake. What this synagogue of libertines was, is much controverted by learned men.
