Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto these husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy these wicked men, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their season."[558] Tertullian Against Praxeas He also introduces a parable of the mission to the vineyard of the Son (not the Father), who was sent after so many servants,[376]
