Useful quote:

"The story proceeds to say that he asked the Roman presbyters to explain the texts, 'A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,' and 'No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment': texts from which he himself deduced that works in which evil is to be found could not proceed from the good God, and that the Christian dispensation could have nothing in common with the Jewish. Rejecting the explanation offered him by the presbyters, he broke off the interview with a threat to make a schism in their church.'"
