We have discussed in the preceding book those subjects in
ecclesiastical history which it was necessary to treat by way of
introduction, and have accompanied them with brief proofs. Such were
the divinity of the saving Word, and the antiquity of the doctrines
which we teach, as well as of that evangelical life which is led by
Christians, together with the events which have taken place in
connection with Christ's recent appearance, and in connection with
his passion and with the choice of the apostles.
In the present book let us examine the events which took place after
his ascension, confirming some of them from the divine Scriptures,
and others from such writings as we shall refer to from time to time.
