Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[3556] ψυχή, animal life.
[3557] i.e., in the institution of the scape-goat.
[3558] Or, of water. For instead of ὑλικῆς in the text, it is proposed to read ὑδατικῆς.
[3559] [Again, for the Gospel-day, he spiritualizes the incense of the Law.]
[3560] Consult Matt. iii. 11; Luke iii. 16; Heb. iv. 12. [See what is said of the philosophic ἐκπύρωσις (book v. cap. i. p. 446, supra, this volume) by our author. These passages bear on another theological matter, of which see Kaye, p. 466.]
[3561] [See useful note of Kaye, p. 309.]
Chapter VII.—What Sort of Prayer the Gnostic Employs, and How It is Heard by God.
[3563] [It is hardly needful to say that our author means “not merely in a specified place,” etc. See p. 290, supra, as to time and place.]
[3564] [See p. 200, this volume; also, infra, this chapter, p. 537.]
[3566] [Pious men have been strict in their conduct when quite alone, from a devout conviction of the presence of angelic guardians.]
[3567] [1 Sam. i. 13. See this same chapter, infra, p. 535.]
[3568] [This is variously explained. It seems to refer to some change of position in Christian assemblies, at the close of worship or in ascriptions of praise.]
[3569] [See, supra, cap. vii. note 8, p. 532.]
[3570] [The third, sixth, and ninth hours were deemed sacred to the three persons of the Trinity, respectively. Also they were honoured as the hours of the beginning, middle, and close of our Lord’s passion.]
[3571] [Of these, see ed. Migne, ad locum.]
[3572] According to Heinsius’ reading, who substitutes ἀπονενεμημέῃ for ἀπονενεμημένῳ.
[3573] [Christians adopted this habit at an early period, on various grounds, as will hereafter appear in this series.]
[3575] [Jas. iv. 3.]
[3576] [See, supra, this chapter, p. 533, note 1.]
