Introductory Note to the Instructions of Commodianus.

[1841] He gives us a painful picture of the decline of godliness in his days; of which see Wordsworth’s Hippolytus, p. 140.

I.—Preface.

[1842] [Sufficient evidence of his heathen origin.]

VI.—Of the Same Jupiter’s Thunderbolt.

[1843] [An index of time. He writes, therefore, in the third century.]

X.—Neptune.

[1844] We have changed marhus et into mortuus, and de suo into denuo.

XXII.—The Dulness of the Age.

[1845] [He defers to the Canon Law and notes the Duæ Viæ.]

XXXII.—To Self-Pleasers.

[1846] [This is not Patripassianism. Nor does the “one God” of the next chapter involve this heresy.]

XXXIV.—Moreover, to Ignorant Gentiles.

[1847] [Here ends the apologetic portion.]

XXXV.—Of the Tree of Life and Death.

[1848] Scil. “capite,” conjectural for “cavete.”

XXXVI.—Of the Foolishness of the Cross.

[1849] [Or, “shadows forth Himself.”]

[1850] “Eusebius tells of another Enoch, who was not translated without seeing death.”—Rig. [See Gen. iv. 17, 18. S.]

[1851] Et inde secunda terribilem legem primo cum pace revincit.—Davis, conjecturally.

XLI.—Of the Time of Antichrist.
