text_original: PARTHEMIA. You tell us strange things, to say there is but one God in three persons. LONGINUS. Is it any where said that we must believe your old prophets (with whom your memory seems overburdened) to be more perfect than our gods? PATHOCLUS. You must be very cunning to maintain impossibilities. Now listen to me: Is it possible that a virgin can bring forth a child without ceasing to be a virgin?
