“One thing I would ask, though, is if you could indicate what is your work and what you’ve pasted in or paraphrased. While you did so on the second quote, the first paraphrase was without attribution (and the reader who was not familiar with Schaff might think that it was your own stuff).”
This was not a “cut and paste” from Schaff and the correct attributions are in the paragraph, “Berington and Kirk, vol. i. p. 252.)” and “See note at end of book iii.] A discussion of the subject may be seen in chap. xii. of Dr. Wordsworth’s St. Hippolytus and the Church of Rome”
“This was not the translation from the editor of the American Series.”
The editor says, “Sustaining these views by a few footnotes, I add (1) a literal rendering of my own,”
“IV.33.8”
I can’t find this citation or the quote in any of the works of Irenaeus.
Never said it was. I said it was a paraphrase. If it's not a paraphase, it's too similar for me to believe that it's a coincidence.
The editor says, “Sustaining these views by a few footnotes, I add (1) a literal rendering of my own,”
The "literal rendering of his own" was, “For it is necessary for every Church (that is to say, the faithful from all parts) to meet in this Church, on account of the superior magistracy; in which Church, by those who are from all places, the tradition of the apostles has been preserved.” What you quoted was "amplified" (if you've ever read the "Amplified Bible," you'll get the allusion).
I can’t find this citation or the quote in any of the works of Irenaeus.
there you go: Book IV, Chapter 33, paragraph 8.
