had taken Refuge in the Heathen ter.
Countries mentioned in the Inscription,
and also to the Gentile Converts, to

different Sects, against the Doceta-who
denied the Humanity of Christ, assert-
ing that his Body and Sufferings were
not real, but imaginary-against the Ce-
rinthians and Ebionites, who contended
that he was a mere Man, and that his
Divinity was only adventitious, and
therefore separated from him at his Pas-
sion, and against the Nicolaitans, or
Gnostics, who taught that the Know-
ledge of God and Christ was sufficient
for Salvation; that being justified by
Faith, and freed from the Restraints of
the Law, they might indulge in Sin
with impunity-He cautions Christians
from being seduced by these Doctrines
and Practices, by condemning them in
the strongest Terms-He contrasts them
with the Truths and Doctrines of the
Gospel, in which they had been in-
structed, and in which they are exhorted
to continue.

XX. St. John sanctions the Books of the New
Testament, and completes the Canon of
Scripture, by writing his Gospel, at the
Request of the Church at Ephesus.

pects of the permanent Happiness of
