This can no man deny, but that in consent of doctrine there is great agreement. The Epistle to the Hebrews seemed to many to favour in the sixth and tenth Chap. The Novatians or Catharites. The diversity of style was noted to differ from the rest of Saint Pauls Epistles. But if we should so judge of holy scriptures, I know not what should be firm and sure enough. Leaving therefore this disputation in suspense, I will now proceed to bring forth the judgements of other old writers concerning this book.
