The Works of Dionysius the Areopagite — trans. John Parker
The text is shown on its own: no facing layer is held for this issue.
m others, perhaps, more contemplative minds, these things have been viewed, not only more clearly, but also more divinely. And to thee, as I fancy, more brilliant and more divine beauties will shine forth, by using the foregoing stepping-stones to a higher ray. Impart then, my friend, thyself also, to me, more perfect enlightenment, and shew to mine eyes the more comely and uniform beauties that thou mayst have been able to see, for I am confident that, by w^hat has been said, I shall strike the sparks ^ of the Divine Fire stored up in thee.

St. David, at Jerusalem, A.D.
Bishop of Menevia, was consecrated at Jerusalem, with two companions'^, A.D, 519, and succeeded as Metropolitan on the death of Dubritius, but his seat remained at St. David's.
After him came Teilo, consecrated at the same time as St. David, at Jerusalem, A.D. 519, to Llandaff. He succeeded to the Metropolitan's office on St. David's death, retaining Llandaff, and consecrating Ismael to St. David's as a Suffragan Bishop.
Simon the Cananite, afterwards Bishop of Jerusalem, having preached the Gospel in Britain ("Apostolic Constitutions," Lagarde, p. 284) ; as also Aristobulus, ordained by St. Paul Bishop for Britain (Migne, ser. Grseca, tome III.) ; there must have been many Bishops in Britain before King Lucius was able to supersede the Druid by the Christian organisation. Within ten years after the arrival of Joseph of Arimathea, the first-fruit of Britain was sent to Rome, for instruction and consecration. He founded a Church in Beatenberg, Switzerland.
