Chapter 113PonetCatechism.1.113
Heritikes called Millenarii.
Against the Millenarian Heresy
The chapter warns that those who revive the Millenarian fable contradict Holy Scripture and fall into a Jewish delusion.
Those who try to revive the fable of the heretics known as the Millenarians go against Holy Scripture and fall headlong into a Jewish delusion.1
Read the original English
THey that go aboute to renewe the fable of heretickes called Millenarii, be repugnaunt to holy scripture, and cast thē selues headlong into a Iewishe dotage.
Notes
- 1 ↩Early modern 'Iewishe dotage' is a polemical Reformation phrase for millenarian expectation of an earthly thousand-year kingdom, cast as Jewish messianic folly; rendered here as 'Jewish delusion'.
John Ponet's Short Catechisme (1553) companion
Rule yourself daily, not just on retreat
Chosen Portion turns the mirror into a daily practice — a short reading and examining question each morning before you lead anyone.
Chosen Portion makes the mirror daily: the ruler-formation questions this collection preserves become a two-minute morning examination in the app.
- A daily formation reading drawn from centuries of counsel to those in authority
- One pointed examination question a day — two minutes, before the meetings start
- Track your practice over weeks and watch the examined life become a habit
