[8:1] "We despise," says an early Christian writer, "the supercilious
looks of philosophers, whom we have known to be the corrupters of
innocence, adulterers, and tyrants, and eloquent declaimers against
vices of which they themselves are guilty."--_Octavius of Minucius
Felix._

[9:2] In the "Octavius of Minucius Felix" (c. 25), we meet with the
following startling challenge--"Where are there more bargains for
debauchery made, more assignations concerted, or more adultery devised
than _by the priests_ amidst the altars and shrines of the gods?" This,
of course, refers to the state of things in the third century, but there
is no reason to believe that it was now much better. Tertullian speaks
in the same manner ("Apol". c. 15). See also "Juvenal," sat. vi. 488,
and ix. 23.

[11:2] See Josephus against Apion, i. Sec. 8. Origen says that the Hebrews
had twenty-two sacred books corresponding to the number of letters in
their alphabet. Opera, ii. 528. It would appear from Jerome that they
reckoned in the following manner: they considered the Twelve Minor
Prophets only one book; First and Second Samuel, one book; First and
Second Kings, one book; First and Second Chronicles, one book; Ezra and
Nehemiah, one book; Jeremiah and Lamentations, one book; the Pentateuch,
five books; Judges and Ruth, one book; thus, with the other ten books of
Joshua, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Canticles, Isaiah,
Ezekiel, and Daniel, making up twenty-two. The most learned Roman
Catholic writers admit that what are called the apocryphal books were
never acknowledged by the Jewish Church. See, for example, Dupin's
"History of Ecclesiastical Writers," Preliminary Dissertation, section
ii. See also Father Simon's "Critical History of the Old Testament,"
book. i. chap. viii.
