Juvenal - Satires : Book 2 - c. 120 A.D.
Satire VI is the most famous of the sixteen Satires. The overarching theme of the poem is a dissuasion of the addressee Postumus from marriage; the narrator uses a series of acidic vignettes on the degraded state of (predominantly female) morality to bolster his argument. At c. 695 lines of Latin hexameter, this satire is nearly twice the length of the next largest of the author's sixteen known satires; Satire VI alone composes Book II of Juvenal's five books of satire.
Satire VI also contains the famous phrase "Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" (but who will guard the guards themselves?), which is variously translated as "But who will guard the guards?", "But who will watch the watchmen?"
Decimus Junius Juvenalis , known in English as Juvenal , was a Roman poet active in the late first and early second century CE. He is the author of the collection of satirical poems known as the Satires. The details of Juvenal's life are unclear, although references within his text to known persons of the late first and early second centuries CE fix his earliest date of composition. One recent scholar argues that his first book was published in 100 or 101.

Hilary of Poitiers - On The Councils - 359 AD
Hilary of Poitiers / Hilarius Pictaviensis / Malleus Arianorum
DE SYNODIS
Hilary had been in exile about three years and had corresponded with the Western bishops. From several quarters letters had now ceased to arrive, and the fear came that the bishops did not care to write to one whose convictions were different to their own. Great was his joy when, at the end of the year 358, he received a letter which not only explained that the innocent cause of their silence was ignorance of his address, but also that they had persistently refused communion with Saturninus and condemned the Blasphemia.
Early in 359 he dispatched to them the Liber de Synodis. It is a double letter, addressed to Western bishops, but containing passages intended for Orientals, into whose hands the letter would doubtless come in time. Hilary had recognized that the orthodox of the West had kept aloof from the orthodox of the East, firstly from ignorance of events, secondly from misunderstanding of the word ὁμοούσιος, and thirdly from the feelings of distrust then prevalent. These facts determined the contents of his letter.

Sunday Night Bible Study: The Book of Jude!
Jesus chose two men by the name of Jude (or Judas) to be among the twelve disciples (John 14:22; Acts 1:13).
Judas of Iscariot that betrayed Jesus.
AND
Jude that was a half-brother of Jesus and brother of James, leader of the first Jerusalem church. This Jude was the son of Mary and Joseph and would have been raised as a brother to Jesus Christ (Mark 6:3).
This Jude is the author of the New Testament book by that name. In Jude 1:1, he identifies himself as “a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James.”
It is interesting that Jude, nor James, makes mention of the biological relation with Jesus, while in servitude to Him.
The book of Jude warns of the false teachers that lead people to following false teaching,s that are not in line with God's will, according to having righteousness with God.
He gives many examples of people that did not have faith in God, according to His righteousness, and turned from God in past covenants and arrangements, and corrupted what God set out.
Charged with the sin of unbelief, and rebellion towards God, and false teachings.
The devil and his angels rebelling to what God set out, to His creation rebelling to what God set out, to His own people corrupting what He set out while in unbelief.
So, Jude warns to not be corrupted by this false teaching and do not fall into the same trap they did, do not rebel against what God set out, so much, to falsely teach or led men astray in lies, that deny our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
He encourages you to trust Jesus, that can keep you from falling, according to the simple truth of the promise of God, in His Son Jesus Christ.

Alexander of Alexandria: Epistles to Clergy and Churches - 318 A.D.
Some of the first rumblings of Arian Hersey that would lead up to the Council of Nicea.
Arius was a mere presbyter from the region of Alexandria and his view was spreading more and more to the point where the local Bishop (Patriarch) of the city, Alexander, was forced to intervene.. initially by writing these letters of warning and also to get affirmations of faith from the surrounding churches.

Dionysius of Rome - Against the Sabellians - c. 260 A.D.
Dionysius I of Rome (D.), 3rd c., initially a Roman presbyter, 259/260-267/268, and then successor of Bishop Sixtus II, reorganized the Roman community, which had been greatly weakened by persecution. In 262, as a result of complaints from Alexandrian presbyters about the Origenist type of christology represented by Dionysius of Alexandria, Dionyius of Rome held a synod in Rome that condemned Sabellianism and subordinationism. (Dictionary of Early Christian Literature, p. 183)

The Apology of Aristides - c. 125 A.D.
Aristides the Athenian (also Saint Aristides or Marcianus Aristides; Greek: Ἀριστείδης Μαρκιανός) a Christian apologist living at Athens in the second century. According to Eusebius, the Emperor Hadrian, during his stay in Greece (123-127), caused himself to be initiated into the Eleusinian Mysteries. A persecution of the local Christians followed, due probably, to an outburst of pagan zeal, aroused by the Emperor's act. Two apologies for Christianity were composed on the occasion, that of Quadratus and that of Aristides which the author presented to Hadrian, at Athens, in 126 (Eusebius, Church History IV.3.3, and Chron. II, 166). St. Jerome, in his work Illustrious Men 20, calls him philosophus eloquentissimus, and, in his letter to Magnus (no. LXX), says of the "Apologeticum" that it was contextum philosophorum sententiis, and was later imitated by St. Justin Martyr. He says, further (De vir ill., loc. cit.), that the "Apology" was extant in his time, and highly thought of. Eusebius (loc. cit.), in the fourth century, states that it had a wide circulation among Christians.

Irenaeus To Florinus - c. 170 A.D.
Florinus had previously held that God was the author of evil, which sentiment Irenæus opposed in a treatise, now lost, called _περὶ μοναρχίας_ - *On the Sole Sovereignty* or *That God is not the Author of Evil*
This interesting extract we also owe to Eusebius, who took it from the work De Ogdoade, written after this former friend of Irenæus had lapsed to Valentinianism.
