Excerpt from The Faith of Catholics: Confirmed by Scripture, and Attested by the Fathers of the Five First Centureis of the Church It may be, that I have occasionally erred in the translation of some passages, not always very in telligible; but should any such errors be discovered, I trust, it will not be in any point of moment. On some occasions, the original of certain clauses is given. It was my wish to be literal and plain. As order and precision are necessary for the attain ment of accurate knowledge, I thought it necessary, in quoting the Fathers, to preserve the chrono logical series of their lives; so that each authority should take its proper place. I, therefore, marked each century, and quoted the fathers, who belonged to it, in the order in which they lived. This is repeated under caph Proposition. To each name are, likewise, added the letters L. C. Or G. C. De noting whether they belonged to the Latin or the Greek church; and when any Father is, the first time, introduced, I state in a Note, who he was.
