Μνγμοι εύετς τῶν ἡγουμέναν ὑμῶν.

οϊτινες ἐλάλ ηόαν ὑμῖν τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

ΕΠΙΣΤ. ΠΡΟΣ ΕΒΡΑΙΟΤΣ, ΙΓ′. ζ.

“Honoramus eos charitate, non servitute: nec cis templa construimus. Nolunt enim se sic à nobis honorari: quia nosipsos cùm boni sumus, templa summi Dei esse noverunt.”

Augustinus, de Ver. Relig. Cap. liv.

Πῶς γὰρ οὐκ ἄτοπον, ὐπὲρ μὲν χρημάτων μὴ ἐτἐροιζ πιστεύειν, ἀλλʼ ἀριθμῷ καὶ ψήφῳ τοῦτο ἐπιτρέπειν· ὑπὲρ δέ πραγμάτων ψηφιζομένους ἀπλῶς τοῖς ἑτέρων παρασύρεσθαι θόξαις. καὶ ταῦτα, ἀκριζῆ ζυγὸν ἁπάντως ἔχοντας καὶ γνώμονα καὶ κανόνα, τῶν Θείων νόμων τὴν ἀπόρασιν;

Chrysostomi Homil. xiii. 2 Cor.
