Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[2158] [διαδιδράσκει τὰ πράγματα. A truly Platonic thrust at sophistical rhetoricians.]
[2159] δειληλυθέναι, suggested by Sylb. As more suitable than the διαλεληθέναι of the text.
[2160] Hermas—close of third vision, [cap. 13. p. 17, supra.]
Chapter II.—The Knowledge of God Can Be Attained Only Through Faith.
[2161] Prov. iii. 5-7, 12, 23.
[2162] Wisd. vii. 17, 20, 21, 22.
[2166] ἔννοιαν, not εὔνοιαν, as in the text.
[2172] Or anticipation, πρόληψις.
[2174] Adopting Lowth’s conjecture of supplying πλήν before θεοσεβείας.
[2175] John xx. 29. [Note this definition of true knowledge, followed by an appeal to the Scriptures as infallible teaching. No need to say that no other infallibility is ever hinted, or dreamed of, by Clement.]
Chapter III.—Faith Not a Product of Nature.
[2176] The text reads ἤ: but Sylb. suggests ᾑ, which we have adopted.
[2177] καὶ τὸ ἑκούσιον is supplied as required by the sense. The text has ἀκούσιον only, for which Lowth proposes to read ἑκούσιον.
[2178] Either baptism or the imposition of hands after baptism. [For an almost pontifical decision as to this whole matter, with a very just eulogy of the German (Lutheran) confirmation-office, see Bunsen, Hippol., iii. pp. 214, 369.]
Chapter IV.—Faith the Foundation of All Knowledge.
