The next are the Epistles which go under the name of Ignatius. In his Epistle ad Ephesios, ad Magnesianos, ad Trallianos, ad Romanos, ad Philadelphenos; in all these Epistles I read Ignatius asserting Christ to be God man, and giving warning to the Churches to take heed of those, who said he was but mere man. I will only write one Sentence out of this last Epistle. If any one say, there is one God, and doth confess Jesus Christ, but thinks the Lord to be [Greek or Hebrew], a mere man, and not the only begotten God, the Wisdom and word of God, (what Word, he tells us in his Epist. ad Magnesianos, [Greek or Hebrew], &c.) but thinks he consists only of Body and Soul, this is a Serpent and Seducer, preaching an error for the perdition of men, &c.

Justin Martyr, Apolog. 2. asserts the Divinity of Christ; and in his Dialogue with Trypho he often asserts it, in so much that Trypho tells him, That Christ should be God before the world began, and after to be born, though not as other men, seemed to him not only a Paradox, but foolish: [Greek or Hebrew]. Unto whom Justin Martyr answers, page 267.
