Clement (Rome, 92-101), Letter to the Corinthians, Ch 47,
MG 1, 308 It is disgraceful, beloved, very disgraceful, and unworthy of
your training in Christ, to hear that the stable and
ancient
Church of the Corinthians ... should revolt against
its presbyters.
Ignatius (Antioch, d. 110), Letter to the Trallians, Ch 7;
MG 5, 680 Anyone who is within the sanctuary is pure and anyone who
is outside is impure, that is to say, no one who
acts apart from
the bishop and the priests and the deacons has a
clear
conscience.
