In this Origene divers blemishes of doctrine be noted whereupon Hierome some times doth inveigh against him.1 Albeit in some places again he doth extol and commend him for his excellent learning, as in his Apology against Ruff. and in his Epistle to Pammachus and Ocean, 2where he praiseth Origene, although not for the perfection of his faith and doctrine, nor for an apostle, yet for an excellent interpreter, for his wit, and for a Philosopher. And yet in his Prologue upon the Homilies of Origene upon Ezekiel, he calleth him an other master of the churches,3 after the Apostles. And in an other Preface upon his questions upon Genesis, he wisheth to himself the knowledge of the scriptures, which Origene had, also with the envy of his name. Athanasius moreover calleth him singular, and laborious, and useth also his testimonies against the Arians. Socrates, Lib. 6. cap. 13.4
