Augustine had before held the more fashionable view. See "Barrow on the
Pope's Supremacy," by Dr M'Crie, p. 78.

[365:1] The references in this work to the Apostolic Fathers by
Cotelerius are to the Amsterdam Edition, folio, 1724.

[365:2] This is the date assigned to it by Bunsen. "Hippolytus," i. 309.
It is not probable that Polycarp was at the head of the eldership of
Smyrna much earlier. See Period II. sec. iii. chap, v., note.

[365:3] According to Ussher in A.D. 169.

[366:1] The original narrative may be found in the Dialogue with Trypho.

[366:2] The references to Justin in this work are to the Paris folio
edition of 1615.

[367:1] He afterwards became the founder of a sect noted for its austere
discipline. His followers used water, instead of wine, at the
celebration of the Lord's Supper. They lived in celibacy, and observed
rigorous fasts.

[367:2] The writer says of the temple (chap. xvi.)--"It is now destroyed
by their (the Jews) enemies, and _the servants of their enemies are
building it up._" Jerusalem was rebuilt by Hadrian about A.D. 135, and
the name Aelia given to it.

[368:1] Two short letters ascribed to Pius are mentioned Period II. sec.
iii. chap. vii. For a long time Barnabas, the author of the epistle, was
absurdly confounded with the companion of Paul mentioned Acts xiii. 1,
and elsewhere; and Hermas was supposed to be the individual saluted in
Rom. xvi. 14. Hence these two writers have been called, like Polycarp
and others, _Apostolic Fathers_.

[368:2] Eusebius, who has preserved a few fragments of this author,
describes him as a very credulous person. See his "Hist." iii. 39.

[368:3] In the text it has not been considered necessary to mention all
the writers, however small their contributions to our ecclesiastical
literature, who appeared during the second and third centuries. Hence,
Melito of Sardis, Caius of Rome, and many others are unnoticed. The
remaining fragments of these early ecclesiastical writers may be found
in Routh's "Reliquiae," and elsewhere.
