Origen de Principiis Book II

irst with a light pencil to trace out the outlines of the coming picture, and prepare marks for the reception of the features that are to be afterwards added, this preliminary sketch in outline is found to prepare the way for the laying on of the true colours of the painting; so, in a measure, an outline and sketch may be traced on the tablets of our heart by the pencil of our Lord Jesus Christ. And therefore perhaps is it said, "Unto every one that hath shall be given, and be added."[196]

Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes "For unto him that hath shall be given, but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he seemeth to have."[719]
