Mosheim, speaking of the illustrious writers of the second century, says: 'They all attributed a double sense to the words of Scripture; the one obvious and literal, the other hidden and mysterious, which lay concealed, as it were, under the veil of the outward letter. But the Fathers had no recognized rule for eliciting the spiritual sense.
The theological system of the Arminians, after their return to Holland, underwent, if we credit Dr. Mosheim, a remarkable change.
In reference to this subject Mosheim, in his Ecclesiastical History; Vol. 4, part 2, chap. 1, says: "It is certain that the greatest part both of the bishops and presbyters were men entirely destitute of learning and education.
