This (Logos) we know to have... remodelled the old man by a new creation. (And we believe the Logos) to have passed through every period in (this) life in order that He Himself might serve as a Law for every age... and might exhibit his own manhood as an aim for all men."-(Hippolytus) A.N.C.L. vol. vi. pp. 399. 400.

SOULS ALL ALIKE
"All souls are immortal even those of the wicked for whom it were better that they were not deathless."-(Clementine Fragments) A.N.C.L. vol xxiv. p. 163.
"The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his [own] master."-Luke vi. 40.
As for the rational explanation of the matter, I do not think much need be said on the point. Substance is constant; its properties and functions do not vary except under some external influence. Hence, when the external influence is set aside, all substances of the same kind must be deemed to be possessed of common attributes, privileges and prerogatives.
