Epistle of Ignatius to the Philadelphians For there are many wolves that appear worthy of credit, who, by means of a pernicious pleasure, carry captive[9] who, by means of a pernicious pleasure, carry captive[12] Irenaeus Against Heresies Book I Such are the words and deeds by which, in our own district of the Rhone, they have deluded many women, who have their consciences seared as with a hot iron.[172] Origen Against Celsus Book VI we have fallen in with this diagram, and we have found in it the representations of men who, as Paul says, "creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts; ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."[134] Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes How, then, does this man stand up and try, to persuade us to emigrate his opinions, importuning every individual whom he meets to become a Manichaean, and going about and creeping into houses, and endeavouring to deceive minds laden with sins?[401]
