Clement, chap. x. alCor. ii. 9. 144. < Ui The GENERAL EPISTLE OF BARNABAS. [Barnabas was a companion and fellow-preacher with Paul. This Epistlelays a greater claim to canonical authority than most others. It hasbeen cited by Clemens Alexandrinus, Origen, Eusebius, and Jerome,and many ancient Fathers. Cotelerius affirms that Origen and Jeromeesteemed it genuine and canonical; but Cotelerius himself did notbelieve it to be either one or the other; on the contrary, he supposesit was written for the benefit of the Ebionites (the christianized Jews,)who were tenacious of rites and ceremonies. Bishop Fell feared to ownexpressly what he seemed to be persuaded of, that it ought to be treatedwith the same respect as several of the books of the present canon. , Savilian professor at Oxford, not only believed
