 1 3 |      Christ was himself one of the apostles. We are surprised at seeing
 2 4 |          and of the letters of the apostles; for they have both told
 3 4 |          future? Who are the false apostles but the preachers of a spurious
 4 6 |       private fancy. In the Lord's apostles we possess our authority;
 5 8 |            same conclusion. If the apostles, who were ordained to be

10 20| Immediately, therefore, so did the apostles, whom this designation indicates
11 20|           church, (rounded) by the apostles, from which they all (spring).
12 21|        THROUGH THE CHURCH FROM THE APOSTLES, WHO WERE TAUGHT BY GOD
13 21|         Lord Jesus Christ sent the apostles to preach, (our rule is)
14 21|          Him to any other than the apostles, whom He sent forth to preach--
15 21|            very churches which the apostles rounded in person, by declaring
16 21|         churches received from the apostles, the apostles from Christ,
17 21|    received from the apostles, the apostles from Christ, Christ from
18 21|          truth of the churches and apostles of Christ and God. It remains,
19 21|            in the tradition of the apostles, and whether all other doctrines

21 22|           usually tell us that the apostles did not know all things: (
22 22|        point, and declare that the apostles certainly knew all things,
23 22|        blame for having sent forth apostles who had either too much
24 22|          proved in the Acts of the Apostles that the Holy Ghost did
25 23|                         XXIII. THE APOSTLES NOT IGNORANT. THE HERETICAL
26 23|           the view of branding the apostles with some mark of ignorance,
27 23|           afterwards come over(the apostles,) such as fell to the share
28 23|         who reject The Acts of the Apostles: "It is first necessary
29 23|          had put on faith from the apostles' hands. Afterwards, as he
30 24|        unenviable task, of setting apostles by the ears. But, inasmuch
31 24|         those who pass sentence on apostles! It is a happy fact that
32 25|                           XXV. THE APOSTLES DID NOT KEEP BACK ANY OF
33 25|           allowing indeed that the apostles were ignorant of nothing,
34 26|                          XXVI. THE APOSTLES DID IN ALL CASES TEACH THE
35 26|           house." These things the apostles either neglected, or failed
36 27|            XXVII. GRANTED THAT THE APOSTLES TRANSMITTED THE WHOLE DOCTRINE
37 27|          it is incredible that the apostles were either ignorant of
38 27|          us see whether, while the apostles proclaimed it, perhaps,
39 27|           forth otherwise than the apostles had done. All these suggestions
40 28|       Himself was preaching by the apostles,--is it likely that so many
41 30|         prove themselves to be new apostles! Let them maintain that
42 30|            perversely vie with the apostles. For whilst they used to
43 32|          CLAIM SUCCESSION FROM THE APOSTLES. NEW CHURCHES STILL APOSTOLIC,
44 32|            FAITH IS THAT WHICH THE APOSTLES TAUGHT AND HANDED DOWN.
45 32|            been handed down by the apostles, because they existed in
46 32|         existed in the time of the apostles, we can say: Let them produce
47 32|        predecessor some one of the apostles or of apostolic men,--a
48 32|        continued stedfast with the apostles. For this is the manner
49 32|          their episcopal places by apostles, they regard as transmitters
50 32|        comparison with that of the apostles, will declare, by its own
51 32|     apostolic man; because, as the apostles would never have taught
52 32|        teaching different from the apostles, unless they who received
53 32|         their instruction from the apostles went and preached in a contrary
54 32|      derive not their founder from apostles or apostolic men (as being
55 32|          in any way connected with apostles, inasmuch as they are in
56 33|        they did in the days of the apostles, were both exposed and denounced
57 33|          and denounced by the said apostles. For by this method they
58 34|          as we are informed by the apostles themselves) existed in their
59 34|            ence in the time of the apostles could not possibly have
60 34|            any connection with the apostles. If indeed they had then
61 34|           exist in the days of the apostles, are condemned in their
62 34|         were not even named by the apostles. Whence we have the firmer
63 35|     whether they be later than the apostles or contemporary with the
64 35|           or contemporary with the apostles, provided they be different
65 35|      occupies the first place. The apostles, again, nowhere condemn
66 36|          CHURCHES THE VOICE OF THE APOSTLES, LET THE HERETICS EXAMINE
67 36|            the very thrones of the apostles are still pre-eminent in
68 36|       hands the very authority (of apostles themselves). How happy is
69 36|            is its church, on which apostles poured forth all their doctrine
70 36|        writings of evangelists and apostles, from which she drinks in
71 37|           has handed down from the apostles, the apostles from Christ,
72 37|        down from the apostles, the apostles from Christ, and Christ
73 37|     belonged. I am the heir of the apostles. Just as they carefully
74 37|       strangers and enemies to the apostles, if it be not from the difference
75 37|      received in opposition to the apostles?"~
76 44|           to them by Him or by His apostles concerning depraved and
77 44|    abhorring the same. (He and His apostles, perhaps,) will acknowledge
78 44|          deservedly be regarded as apostles. As if this caution were
79 44|  denunciations of the Lord and the apostles, shall have stood firm in
80 44|           that of the prophets and apostles also; and to my own disciples
81 44|           of life and faith) to my apostles; but afterwards it was my
