TRANSLATED BY

The Rev. S. D. F. Salmond, D.D., F.e.I.s., Principal of the Free Church College, Aberdeen.

Note.In the difficult task of translating the De Fide Orthodoxa-a task made the more difficult at times by the condition of the text,-I am indebted for much to my son, James L. Salmond, M.A., M.B., formerly of Baliol College, Oxford. There still remain passages of doubtful interpretation. It was inteded to furnish a larger body of Notes and also an account of John and his writings. It has been found advisable, however, to complete the volume without these.

S. D. F. Salmond.

Aberdeen, 1 Sept. 1898.
