[35:13] [In ed. 6 the sentence ends here.]
[36:1] II. p. 166.
[36:2] ['said anything about' ed. 6. The whole sentence is omitted in the Complete Edition.]
[37:1] Euseb. _H.E._ iii. 3. The important words are [Greek: _tines_ ton kata chronous ekklesiastikon sungrapheon _hopoiais kechrentai_ ton antilegomenon, _tina te peri_ ton endiathekon kai h.o.m.ologoumenon graphon kai _hosa peri_ ton me toiouton autois eiretai.] The words s.p.a.ced will show the two different modes of treatment; (1) The mention of references or testimonies in the case of the disputed writings only; (2) The record of anecdotes in the case of acknowledged and disputed writings alike.
The double relative in the first clause, [Greek: tines ... hopoiais], is incapable of literal translation in English; but this does not affect the question. The two modes are well ill.u.s.trated in the case of Irenaeus. Eusebius gives from this Father _testimonies_ to the Epistle to the Hebrews etc., and _anecdotes_ respecting the Gospel and Apocalypse alike.
[38:1] [Quoted by _S.R._ ed. 6, p. xiv. For his criticism upon this Essay see below, p. 178 sq.]
[39:1] _H.E._ iii. 24.
[40:1] See Lardner _Credibility_ II. p. 35 sq (1835). For the sake of economising s.p.a.ce I shall refer from time to time to this work, in which the testimonies of ancient writers are collected and translated, so that they are accessible to English readers. Any one, whose ideas have been confused by reading _Supernatural Religion_, cannot fail to obtain a clearer view of the real state of the case by referring to this book. It must be remembered, however, that recent discovery has added to the amount of evidence, more especially in reference to the Fourth Gospel. I refer, of course, to the quotations in the Gnostic fragments preserved by Hippolytus, and in the Clementine Homilies.
[40:2] Clem. Rom. 5.

[40:4] Clem. Rom. 47. 'Take up the Epistle of the blessed Paul the Apostle. What first did he write to you in the beginning of the Gospel?
Of a truth he gave injunctions to you in the Spirit [Greek: pneumatikos]
concerning himself and Cephas and Apollos, because even then ye had made parties ([Greek: proskliseis]).
