Minge, Patrologiæ Cursus Completus, [1860], Patrologiæ Græcæ, Tomus LXXXV, Amonii Alexandrini, Fragmenta In S. Joannem, Cap. XVI, Vers. 8, Col. 1497). Here Trans. (J. H. Treat, The Catholic Faith; Or, Doctrines of the Church of Rome Contrary to Scripture and the Teaching of the Primitive Church, [1888], p. 212). Here
