Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[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.
[2181] Instead of μονονουχί, Petavius and Lowth read μόνον οὐχί, as above.
[2183] Isa. lxiv. 4; 1 Cor. ii. 9.
[2184] κατάληψιν ποιεῖ τῆν πρόληψιν.
[2185] οὐ ζῶον is here interpolated into the text, not being found in Plato.
[2186] Χριστός and χρηστός are very frequently compared in the patristic authors.
[2188] Plato’s sister’s son and successor.
[2189] σπουδαῖος.
Chapter V.—He Proves by Several Examples that the Greeks Drew from the Sacred Writers.
[2190] The words of Jacob to Esau slightly changed from the Septuagint: “For God hath shown mercy to me, and I have all things”—οτι ἠλέησέ με ὁ Θεὸς καὶ ἔστι μοι πάντα (Gen. xxxiii. 11).
[2193] So the name Israel is explained, Stromata, i. p. 334, Potter; [see p. 300, supra.]
[2195] [This passage, down to the reference to Plato, is unspeakably sublime. One loves Clement for this exclusive loyalty to the Saviour.]
[2197] The Stoics defined piety as “ the knowledge of the worship of God.”
