In the reply Of the Presbyterian which 3,
We publish to-day, there are several poinsS
Of fact in which we must diner VAN -. 10,
LIST. The "mistake" or rather oversagns 2
or giving q paraphrase of o passage In Dr. P
Augustine as q literal quotation, when sne a
the two are identical in meaning 10, our n
neiehbor saws, one that, in Court Of JUS
tice, they would probably style "fs'se WIZ 9
ness.' This would depend on She nssare 4
of the Court. No doubt, with Jenreys, II
for Judge, it would be so held IL 1t suited II
the bigoted purposes and malignant hatreds
of the Court 80 to hold it. If gentleman I
happened to preside, however, no matter
of what denomination, he would treat sne
charge of false witness . as quiooie an
worthy of a place in . serious discussion.
ed. Our neighbor, itself, makes the most
rema rkable mistake, that has ever come
under our observation, in its allusion to
| the passage from Tertullian. It says that
we acknowledged "that in the passage re-
ferred to, Tertullian does not
claim any more authority for Rome than
for Ephesus, Philippi, Thessalonica or
l
IL not q shadow Of such admission IN our
article With that article printed along
side it's own, how our respected neighbor
could find any such language in it is
mxtter of astonishment. It is calculated
to give one fearful suspicious Of " suth'n'
! warm" and too much of it at that. What
We did say was simply to congratulate our
learned neighbor on its having finally
i found q passage which it had solemniy
9 prom ounced a forgery and to express our
! astonishmeat at it's singular suppression OF
the portion of that passage which We had
9 quoted.

}. Can historical infatuation go farther than
II to suppose that questions were referred TO
70 apy other See than Rome for solution
z. That it would be proper, for instance, for

N the See of Corinth or Ephesus" Why
st eyery Council that was held at Ephesus OF
:. in any other See founded by an Apostle a.
at WAYS referred its own action to Rome fo'
i'd approval or rejection. It was to Rome
!, II that the Eastern Bishops and Patriarch
~ appealed whenever aquestions" arose. st
a. Athanasius appealed to Rome against All
ne anism, st. Chrysostom, Patriarch OF Con
.,n stantinople did the same against Eutychi

I'D brought before the tribunal Of Rome

.o ana 4th. Our neighbor says that our object
sely calling attention to the fact that the VIC
mus "Papa" OF Pope was used 30 early as
ara days of st. Augustine was to show Il
sSad this implied infallibility. This is an err
the We said nothing of the sort neither did
de- imply it. Thousands of people speak G.
&c stantly of the Pope without meaning the
mes. by that he is infallible. 1t merely sho'
ons, incidentally, that the title "Pope" which
'ces- now so hateful to the Protestants, was
ears ,mmon use in those days. Though Il
least applied to various high dignitaries 1t
long since become peculiar to the Bisl
Ake Of Rome. -..
