golden letter, doubtless genuine, was attended with very great consequences, of which we shall gather more hereafter.&#160; It is worthy of the solemn consideration of young students to whom this page may come.&#160; Gregory was unbaptized when Origen (circa 230) thus addressed his conscience.

On the letters here inserted, let me refer the student to Routh, Reliqu., ii. pp. 312&#8211;327; also same vol., pp. 222&#8211;228; also iii. 254&#8211;256.

For the facts concerning this letter to Gregory, see Cave, i. p. 400.
