Excerpt from book: stormy period of the sixteenth century?when the works of Luther, Melanchthon, Eckius, Calvin, Sta- and strengthened the digestive powers of the Young and the Old in the way of reading the ancient Fathers?and Schoenemann, in his Bibliotheca Patrum, 1792, 8vo. supplying him with a list of the early and best editions of the Latin Fathers?it only remains for me to point out a few of these Fathers, whether their writings be in the Greek or Latin language, of which the perusal may be productive of advantage.
