Note 6 — DISQUISITIONS ON THE BOOK ENTITLED THE THREE IMPOSTORS.

Gabriel Barlette, in his sermon upon St. Andrew, alludes to Porphyry in this way; “and therefore the notion of Porphyry is absurd, when he says that there had existed three individuals who had turned over the world to their own opinions; the first being Moses amongst the Jewish people—the second Mahomet, and the third Christ.”6 A strange chronologist to stamp the era of Christ and Porphyry after that of Mahomet!
