ECF's and Tongues

[JM]

Do the early church fathers write about the gift of tongues? For, against or both?

I'm looking for quotes and a some references if you have them.

I had seen an extensive list of quotes about tongues starting in the early church that went up until the time of Edwards, I thought I had seen it on PB, if you one of you good folks has the link I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

Don't know if this helps ...

“There are hints among the Church fathers that could suggest otherwise. Reacting to Montanism, Eusebius tells of arriving at a church in Ankara, Turkey where he "found the local church deafened with this new craze" (G.A. Williamson 1965:218). Eusebius further described the spirit-speaking he encountered as "psuedo- prophecy" and admits that some thought Montanus was a demoniac in the grip of a spirit of error (G.A. Williamson 1965:219).”

TONGUES THROUGHOUT CHURCH HISTORY

Found this with google. The author is probably off (has a reference to Brother Hagin) but the history is interesting. Nice quotes. He also very carefully critiques and rejects Montanism.

Lots of links out there if you plug keywords into google.
