Note 16a — Chap. II. THE SCRIPTURES.
Reading edition
The writings of Origen are esteemed of greater value than those of any other of the Fathers in proof of the authenticity of Scripture. Dr. Mills says, “Si hæc (op. Orig.) integra superessent, versaretur utique nobis ob oculos universus fere textus utriusque Testamenti qualis isto seculo ferebatur.” Mill. Proleg. 64. Ed. Ox. 1707.
