Page 13 - But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
Page 37 - Christians, instead of flying as the gospel directs, not only ran voluntarily to execution, but provoked their judges to do them that favor. Under Trajan, all the Christians in a city of Asia came in a body to the proconsul, and offered themselves to the slaughter, which made him cry, " O ! ye unhappy people, if ye have a mind to die, have ye not halters and precipices enough to end your lives, but ye must come here for executioners.

Hence it was that the catechumens were to be instructed in the Creed, previously to baptism, for many days together. Jerome says, for forty daysf; and particularly mentions the doctrine of the Trinity as the subject-matter of instruction for all that time. §The author of the Apostolical Constitutions gives us a summary of what the catechumens...
