"By two and three witnesses every word is established." 1 By Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit, by whose witness and help the prescribed commandments ought to be kept. 2
[This looks as if the text of the three witnesses had been in this compiler's copy of St. John's First Epistle. See vol. iii. Elucid. III. p. 631. St. Augustine also seems to me to sustain the African text in the De Civit., lib. v. cap. xi. p. 154, ed. Migne.] ↩
