1266In the Commentary on Ephesians I acted straightforwardly in giving the views of Origen and others. 1267As to the passage “He hath chosen us before the foundation of the world.” 1269As to the passage “Far above all rule and authority &c.” 1270As to the passage “That in the ages to come &c.“ 1271As to “Paul the prisoner of Jesus Christ.” 1272As to “The body fitly framed &c.” 1273I quoted Origen's views as, “According to another heresy.” 1274As to “Men loving their wives as their own bodies.” 1275As to “Men loving their wives as their own bodies.” 1277To the charge of reading secular books I reply that I remember what I learned in youth. 1280Also, a promise given in a dream must not be pressed. Why should such things be raked up by old friends against one another? 1282I am right in my contention that all sins are remitted in baptism. 1283Book II 1283Summary of the Chapters. 1285A criticism on Rufinus' Apology to Anastasius. His excuses for not coming to Rome are absurd. His parents are dead and the journey is easy. No one ever heard before of his being imprisoned or exiled for the faith. 1286A criticism on Rufinus' Apology to Anastasius. His excuses for not coming to Rome are absurd.

No one ever heard before of his being imprisoned or exiled for the faith. 1288His confession of faith is unsatisfactory. No one asked him about the Trinity, but about Origen's doctrines of the Resurrection, the origin of souls, and the salvability of Satan. As to the Resurrection and to Satan he is ambiguous. As to souls he professes ignorance. 1289His confession of faith is unsatisfactory.
