Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[2124] Isa. lix. 7, 8;Rom. iii. 16, 17.
[2125] Ps. xxxvi. 1; Rom. iii. 18.
Chapter XXVIII.—The Fourfold Division of the Mosaic Law.
[2130] ἐποπτεία, the third and highest grade of initation into the mysteries.
[2131] A saying not in Scripture; but by several of the ancient Fathers attributed to Christ or an apostle. [Jones, Canon, i. 438.]
[2132] “That thou may’st well know whether he be a god or a man.”—Homer.
[2135] The text has τετραχῶς, which is either a mistake for τριχῶς, or belongs to a clause which is wanting. The author asserts the triple sense of Scripture,—the mystic, the moral, and the prophetic. [And thus lays the egg which his pupil Origen was to hatch, and to nurse into a brood of mysticism.]
Chapter XXIX.—The Greeks But Children Compared with the Hebrews.
[2136] [Timæus, p. 22, B.—S.]
