Lectures on the Ecclesiastical History of the First and Second Centuries

Excerpt from Lectures on the Ecclesiastical History of the First and Second Centuries
These Lectures have never been delivered anywhere. When my connexion with King's College ceased, I was asked by a kind friend to authorize the publication of the notes which some of the students had taken down from my lips. He was aware that my Lectures were extempore, and that I had no reports of my own by which I could correct theirs. Nevertheless, he fancied that he should be able to trace my meaning, and to present it in an intelligible form to the reader: he even insisted that I should leave the matter wholly in his hands; an arrangement to which, except for his sake, I willingly consented.
But I soon found that he had imposed upon himself a task which it would be on many accounts painful for him to perform.
