The Schism of Blastus at Rome
Page 144 of 692
Others, of whom Florinus1567 was chief, flourished at Rome. He fell from the presbyterate of the Church, and Blastus was involved in a similar fall. They also drew away many of the Church to their opinion, each striving to introduce his own innovations in respect to the truth.
Notes
- 1566
The separation of chaps. 14 and 15 is unfortunate. They are closely connected (hoi men in chap. 14 and hoi de in chap. 15), and constitute together a general introduction to the following chapters, Montanism being treated in chaps. 16 to 19, and the schism of Florinus and Blastus in chap. 20.
