[10] Adv. Marcion, v. i. [11] "/Hoc enim lignum tunc in sacramento erat/" (Adv. Judaeos, xii.). [12] "/Nolite verba, cum sacramentum meum erit canendum,providenter quaerere/ ." [13] "/Quid enim sunt aliud quaeque corporalia sacramenta nisi quaedam quasi verba visibilia sacrosancta quidem, veruntamen mutabilia at temporalia/ ?" (Contra Faustum Manichaeum., Lib. xix. Cap. 16.). [14] ("De Praescriptione Haereticorum" xl.) At his best, however, Tertullian, at least in one of his works, did seem to go farther than this, and to recognise in the instinctive strivings of natural religion the witness of the soul to the truths revealed in Christ ("De Testimonio Animae"). [15] The "Guide des ceremonies civiles" (Par Lux, Paris, 1902). [16] See i Cor. i. 14-15. "For Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the Gospel." [17] i Cor. xv. [18] Aug. de Baptismo Lib. iv. Cyprian had instanced this as a case of baptism of blood, but Augustine pointed out that the penitent thief suffered not as a Christian, but in punishment for a crime. [19] De Poen, C. vi.; cf. xii. and xiii. [20] It is more generally held at present by scholars that the Didache was written in Egypt; but would not this prayer rather befit the hilly country of Phrygia, where afterwards Montanus taught?

Phil. iii. 17: "If I be poured forth as a libation upon the sacrifice and service (Liturgy) of your faith;" [28] Irenaeus is apparently the first to use the term ιερεύς (sacrificing priest) instead of the earlier title of πρεσβύτερος (elder). [29] This suggestion, and several of the preceding ones, are set forth with much greater fulness and clearness by Mr. St. George Stock in the Hibbert Journal for January, 1906.
