Μνημοιεύετε τῶν ἡγουμένων υμών. οἵτινες ἐλάλησαν ὑμῖν τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

ΕΠΙΣΤ. ΠΡΟΣ ΕΒΡΑΙΟΥΣ, ΙΓ'. ζ.

“ Honoramus eos charitate, non servitute : nec cis templa construimus. Nolunt enim se sic à nobis honorari: quia nosipsos cùm boni sumus, templa summi Dei esse noverunt."

AUGUSTINUS, DE VER, RELIG. CAP. LIV.

Πῶς γὰρ οὐκ ἄτοπον, ὑπὲρ μὲν χρημάτων μὴ ἑτέροις πιστεύειν, ἀλλ ̓ ἀριθμῷ καὶ ψήφῳ τοῦτο ἐπιτρέπειν· ὑπὲρ δὲ πραγμάτων ψηφιζομένους ἁπλῶς τοῖς ἑτέρων παρασύρεσθαι δόξαις· καὶ ταῦτα, ἀκριβῆ ζυγὸν ἁπάντων ἔχοντας καὶ γνώμονα καὶ κανόνα, τῶν Θείων νόμων τὴν ἀπόφασιν; CHRYSOSTOMI HOMIL. XIII. 2 COR.
