Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hippolytus and His Age; Or the Doctrine and Practice of the Church of Rome, Vol. 1 of 4: Under Commodus and Alexander Severus; And Ancient and Modern Christianity and Divinity Compared The book which I venture to present to the Public, has grown out of letters written to an English friend on a subject of common interest: and I must plead this circumstance as my apology for undertaking a task so hazardous as the composition of a work in English must always be for a foreigner.
