Transcription
« Also [sur la colline de Fourvière] there are to be seene the ruines of that huge amphitheatre, wherein those constant seruants of Iesus Christ willingly sufffered many intollerable and bitter tortures for his fake : I call it a huge amphitheatre because it is reported it contained at the least fiftie thousand persons. » |
