Confucius (551–479 BC) Predicts a Coming Saint (2)

According to a Tradition, universally received among the Chinese, he was often heard to repeat these Words: Si fang yeou ching gin, the meaning of which is, That in the West the most Holy was to be found. They were ignorant concerning the Person he spoke of; but it is very certain that fixty-five Years after the Birth of Christ, Ming ti the fifteenth Emperor of the Family of Han, equally struck with the Words of the Philosopher, and the Image of a Man who appeared to him in his sleep, as coming from the West, sent two Grandees of the Empire called, Tsai tsing and Tsin king, into those Parts, with Orders not to return till they had found this Holy Person, whom Heaven had given him some Knowledge of, and till they had learn'd the Doctrine which he taught.
But the Messengers, terrified with the Dangers and Fatigues of the Journey, stop'd in some part of the Indies, but what Place is uncertain, where they found the Idol of a Man called Fo, who had infected the Indies with his monstrous Doctrine about five hundred Years before the Birth of Confucius [that should read Christ not Confucius; Confucius and Buddha are contemporaries]: They were instructed in the Superstitions of this Country, and when they returned to China they propagated the Idolatry.
