birthday anniversaries…We take anxious care lest something of our Cup of Bread
should fall upon the ground.”
3, 5
“At every forward step and movement, when coming in and going out, when
putting on our clothes, when putting on our shoes, when bathing, when at table,
when lighting the lamps, when reclining, when sitting, in all the ordinary
occupations of our daily lives, we furrow our forehead with the sign.”
Against Praxeas (Post 213 AD):
2, 1
“We do indeed believe that there is only one God; but we believe that under this
dispensation...there is also a Son of this one only God, His Word, who proceeded
from Him and through whom all things were made and without whom nothing was
made. We believe that He was sent by the Father into a Virgin and was born of
her, God and man, Son of man and Son of God, and was called by the name Jesus
Christ. We believe that He suffered and that, in accord with the Scriptures, He
died and was buried; and that He was raised again by the Father to resume His
place in heaven, sitting at the right of the Father; and that He will come to judge
the living and the dead. We believe that He sent down from the Father, in accord
with His own promise, the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, the Sanctifier of the faith of
those who believe in the Father and in the Son and in the Holy Spirit...That this
rule of faith has been current since the beginning of the Gospel, before even the
earlier heretics, - much more then, before Praxeas, who was but of yesterday...”
