Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[1052] [The dignity ascribed to Christian childhood in this chapter is something noteworthy. The Gospel glorifying children, sanctifies marriage, and creates the home.]
[1054] Matt. xxi. 16; Ps. viii. 2.
[1056] Matt. xi. 16, 17. [In the Peshitoi-Syraic version, where are probably found the very words our Saviour thus quotes from children in Nazareth, this saying is seen to be metrical and alliterative.]
[1061] Lev. xv. 29, xii. 8; Luke ii. 24.
[1065] Zech. ix. 9; Gen. xlix. 11.
[1068] Theodoret explains this to mean that, as the animal referred to has only one horn, so those brought up in the practice of piety worship only one God. [It might mean lovers of those promises which are introduced by these words in the marvellous twenty-second Psalm.]
