Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[994] [1 Pet. ii. 17. This appeal in behalf of the sanctity of man as man, shows the workings of the apostolic precept.]
[995] The expression “conquered by brass or iron” is borrowed from Homer (Il., viii. 534). Brass, or copper, and iron were the metals of which arms were made.
[997] Ps. lviii. 4, 5. [It was supposed that adders deafened themselves by laying one ear on the earth, and closing the other with the tail.]
[998] “They” seems to refer to sanctity and the word.
[999] Ps. lviii. 4, 5. [It was supposed that adders deafened themselves by laying one ear on the earth, and closing the other with the tail.]
[1002] [The impact of the Gospel on the slavery and helotism of the Pagans.]
[1004] [See above, p. 201, and below, the command “thou shalt love thy neighbor.”]
[1005] Ex. xx. 13-16; Deut. vi. 5.
[1008] [Good will to men made emphatic. Slavery already modified, free-schools established, and homes created. As soon as persecution ceased, we find the Christian hospital. Forster ascribes the first foundation of this kind to Ephraim Syrus. A friend refers me to his Mohammedanism Unveiled, vol. i. p. 283.]
Chapter XI.—How Great are the Benefits Conferred on Man Through the Advent of Christ.
[1009] [The Catholic instinct is here; and an all-embracing benevolence is its characteristic, not worldly empire.]
[1010] Gal. iii. 28, vi. 15.
[1011] [He seems to be thinking of 1 Tim. vi. 6, and 1 Tim. iv. 8.]
[1012] Iliad, v. 128.
