Origen (185-254): an Alexandrian Biblical commentator, exegete, theologian and
writer. Born in Egypt, raised in Alexandria, he traveled widely including
Palestine. His father, Leonidas, was murdered in 202. Origen became the head of
the Catechetical School at Alexandria. He heard Hippolytus in Rome. He was ordained
by Palestinian bishops which annoyed the Alexandrian bishop. In 230, he went to
Palestine and continued his literary works until death in 254.
For
Apostolic Christianity, Vol. 1 (1-100) Prof. Schaff tries to describe Paul and
other apostles, even imbibing the Petrine v. Pauline thesis of the Hegelians. Weird,
but Schaff has his bad moments.

gained lands through the document “Donation of Constantine” which Dante
believed.
For

as without episcopal hands, e.g., Calvin being one and Luther ordaining “superintendents.”
For

of Sir George Elyot, Cranmer’s ambassadorial successor.

Westminster Larger Catechism 176:
Q. 176. Wherein do the
sacraments of baptism and the Lord's supper agree?
A. The sacraments of baptism and the Lord's supper agree, in that the author of
both is God; the spiritual part of both is Christ and his benefits; both are
seals of the same covenant, are to be dispensed by ministers of the gospel, and
by none other; and to be continued in the church of Christ until his second
coming.
