The narrative shifts to a personal diary fragment describing a death scene and aftermath, with distressing details surrounding a bereaved spouse.
A skeptical philosopher praises the Scripture’s majesty and sanctity, calling the Gospel simple yet sublime and arguing its sacred author cannot be merely a man. He contrasts the Scripture with philosophers' pompous diction as mean and contemptible in comparison.
