To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Church at large was never committed to this extreme, but there are indications that it early adopted a strict code in dealing with offenders against its own sanctity. Several writers speak as though it were an accepted maxim, that only a single fall after baptism can claim any indulgence. " If any one, " says Hermas, " is tempted by the devil, and sins after that great and holy calling in which the Lord has called his people to everlasting life, he has opportunity to repent but once. " ^ Te...rtullian in like manner observes that after baptism the door is opened but once to repentance.^ " In the graver kinds of crimes, " says Origen, " place for repentance is granted only once. "*^ The usual practice of the Church he represents to have been as follows: "The Christians lament as dead those who have been vanquished by licentiousness or any other sin, because they are lost and dead to God ; and as being risen from the dead (if they manifest a becoming change) they receive them afterwards, at some future time, after a greater interval than in the case of those who were admitted at first, but not placing in any office or post of rank in the Church of God those who, after professing the gospel, lapsed and fell.
