Jake Freivald Taken as published as raw text on the EWTN library as file ANF4-7.TXT on June 23, 2003. Transformed to XML for further processing into HTML and other formats. PDF rendering by FOP: http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html |
Note from EWTN
The electronic text obtained from The Electronic Bible Society was not completely corrected. EWTN has corrected all mistakes found.
Transliteration of Greek words: All phonetical except: w = omega; h serves three puposes: 1. = Eta; 2. = rough breathing, when appearing intially before a vowel; 3. = in the aspirated letters theta = th, phi = ph, chi = ch. Accents are given immediately after their corresponding vowels: acute = ' , grave = `, circumflex = ^. The character ' doubles as an apostrophe, when necessary.
Note from Jake
This is a heretical text, taken from Tertullian's Montanist period. Jurgens' The Faith of the Early Fathers, volume 1 states that it dates from approximately the year 220 A.D.
I have corrected some additional textual errors from the EWTN text. The XML document from which I generated this document (in whatever form: HTML, PDF, etc.) has notations showing the errors, but the errors have been omitted from this document for readability. The latest version of this document should always be available from http://www.freivald.org/~jake.
I did not have the benefit of the many footnotes in the text, but only the references to them; and those references were annoying large numbers in the middle of the text. I have therefore treated the footnote references as if the footnotes existed, even though they do not, because that decreases the size of the number in the text. This should not cause a problem in any Web browser or in the PDF as far as I know.
