This extract is introduced as follows: “For Irenæus Bishop of
Lyons, who was a contemporary of the disciple of the apostle, Polycarp
Bishop of Smyrna, and martyr, and for this reason is held in just
estimation, wrote to an Alexandrian to the effect that it is right, with
respect to the feast of the Resurrection, that we should celebrate it
upon the first day of the week.” This shows us that the extract
must have been taken from the work Against Schism addressed to
Blastus. | then there shall in truth be a common joy
consummated to all those who believe unto life, and in each individual
shall be confirmed the mystery of the Resurrection, and the hope of
incorruption, and the commencement of the eternal kingdom, when God shall
have destroyed death and the devil. For that human nature and flesh which
has risen again from the dead shall die no more; but after it had been
changed to incorruption, and made like to spirit, when the heaven was
opened, [our Lord] full of glory offered it (the flesh) to the
Father.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
