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. ^[1]

And this adhering of the Nazarenes to y^e Law of Moses at length gave occasion to y^e 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 y^e 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 itaq₃ Hebionem & Sectatores ejus quod post Evangelium credentes in Christo circumcidendos putant. Hieron in Epist. Pauli ad Galatas.
