Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Tradition of the Syriac Church of Antioch: Concerning the Primacy and the Prerogatives of St. Peter and of His Successors the Roman Pontiffs
Hence the expediency of turning from time to time - especially when controversies arise - towards that favoured region, so as to draw from its primitive tradition, as from a fountain, pure and soul-refreshing waters, by a diligent inquiry into the teaching of its great writers, who faithfully handed on to their sue cessers those inviolable truths which they had received from their forefathers, in whose ears was still ringing the voice of the Apostles, which echoed onward the sound of those sacred words that were eagerly caught, in their freshness and beauty, while they were dropping from the tongue of the Incarnate Son of God, whose mouth, as St. Peter expresses it, breathed nothing but life eternal.
