Methinks there is much reason in his sayings.  If thou consider
     rightly of the matter, [Simon] has had great wrong.[96]

[Footnote 94:  Grabe is also interesting for a somewhat wild speculation which he quotes from a British Divine (apud Usserium in Antiquitatibus Eccles.  Britannicae), that the tonsure of the monks was taken from the Simonians. (Grabe, op. cit., p, 697.)]

[Footnote 95:  In the epistle of St. Ignatius Ad Trallianos (Sec. 11), Simon is called “the first-born Son of the Devil” ([Greek:  prototokon Diabolou huion]); and St. Polycarp seems to refer to Simon in the following passage in his Epistle Ad Philipp. (Sec. 7): 

“Everyone who shall not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, is antichrist, and who shall not confess the martyrdom of the cross, is of the Devil; and he who translates the words of the Lord according to his own desires, and says there is neither resurrection nor judgment, he is the first-born of Satan.”]
