And Austin Of these Nazarenes Austine speaks thus Et nunc sunt quidam Hæretici qui se Nazarenos vocant a nonnullis autem Symmachiani appellantur & circumcisionem habent Iudæorum et Baptismum Christianorum. Lit con. Cresconium c. 31.

And this adhering of the Nazarenes to yethe Law of Moses at length gave occasion to yethe converted Iews Gentiles to look upon the Nazarenes & especially that Ebi branch of them called Ebionites as hereticks & to anathematize them. For Ierome tells us that yethe Ebionites were anathematized only for mingling the ceremonies of the Law with the Gospel. Cerinthus & Hebion propter hoc solum credentes in Christo, propter hoc solum a patribus anathematizati sunt quod legis ceremonias Christi evangelio miscuerunt. Hieron. Epist. ad Augustinum in Vol. 2 pag fol 121 G.

Coaretabimus itaqꝫque Hebionem & Sectatores ejus quod post Evangelium credentes in Christo circumcidendos putant. Hieron in Epist. Pauli ad Galatas.
