Philip Schaff

“ When Peter said this, Simon answered: “Since I see you skilfully hinting that what is written in the books [1] against the framer [2] of the world does not happen to be true, to-morrow I shall show, from the discourses of your teacher, that he asserted that the framer of the world was not the highest God.” And when Simon said this, he went out. But Peter said to the assembled multitudes: “If Simon can do no other injury to us in regard to God, he at least prevents you from listening to the words that can purify the soul.” ”
