Burning dead Bodies

In his remarks on "ashes to ashes," Cinis says (Vol. i., p.22.) that "the burning of the dead does not appear to be in itself an anti-christian ceremony," &c.: he is mistaken, for the early Christians, like the Jews, never burned their dead, but buried them. The catacombs of Rome and Naples, besides those in other places, were especially used for sepulture; and if Cinis wish for proofs, he will find an abundance in Rock's *Hierurgia*, t. ii. p. 802., &c.
