Chapter
XIX.—Peter’s Instructions to Faustus.
“When you are with these in Antioch,
while you look like Simon, proclaim publicly your repentance,
saying, ‘I Simon proclaim this to you: I confess1535
| 1535 Amended
according to Epitome. | that all my statements in regard to Peter
are utterly false;1536
| 1536 Partly filled
up from Epitome and Recognitions. | for he is
not a deceiver, nor a murderer, nor a juggler; nor are any of the
evil things true which I, urged on by wrath, said previously in regard
to him. I myself therefore beg of you, I who have been the cause
of your hatred to him, cease from hating him; for he is the true
apostle of the true Prophet that was sent by God for the salvation of
the world. Wherefore also I counsel you to believe what he
preaches;1537
for if you do
not, your whole city will be utterly destroyed. Now I wish you to
know for what reason I have made this confession to you. This
night angels of God scourged me, the impious one, terribly, as being an
enemy to the herald of the truth. I beseech you, therefore, do
not listen to me, even if I myself should come at another time and
attempt to say anything against Peter. For I confess to you I am
a magician, I am a deceiver, I am a juggler. Yet perhaps it is
possible for me by repentance to wipe out the sins which were formerly
committed by me.’”
