    The Instructions of Commodianus

    in favour of

    Christian Discipline,

    Against the Gods of the Heathens.

    (Expressed in Acrostics.)

    I.—Preface.

    My preface sets forth the way to the wanderer and a good visitation when the goal of life shall have come, that he may become eternal—a thing which ignorant hearts disbelieve.  I in like manner have wandered for a long time, by giving attendance upon heathen fanes, my parents themselves being ignorant.1842

    1842 [Sufficient evidence of his heathen origin.]

      Thence at length I withdrew myself by reading concerning the law.  I bear witness to the Lord; I grieve alas, the crowd of citizens! ignorant of what it loses in going to seek vain gods.  Thoroughly taught by these things, I instruct the ignorant in the truth.
