Introductory Notice to Constitutions of the Holy Apostles.
[3530] [Compare Justin Martyr, vol. i. p. 183, this series.]
[3531] One V. ms. has “Son” instead of “God.” Cotelerius remarks that this change was made in the interests of orthodoxy; for the expression “only begotten God” had become common with the Arians. [Comp. John i. 18., where the most weighty ancient authorities read μονογενὴς θεός instead of ὁ μονογενὴς υιός; see Revised Version, margins in loco.—R.]
[3532] [Compare vol. ii. p. 535 and vol. iii. p. 31.]
[3534] One V. ms. reads, “with whom glory be to Thee, along with the Holy Spirit.”
Sec. IV.—Enumeration Ordained by Apostles.
[3535] [An incidental proof of the early origin of this compilation is furnished by the clear distinction it makes between James the son of Alphæus and James the brother of our Lord. The theory of Jerome, which identifies them, was later.—R.]
[3537] [Noteworthy, and to be recalled hereafter. See vol. iii. p. 258.]
[3539] [Comp. Col. iv. 16, 17., whence this is probably derived.—R.]
[3541] [Philem. 10.—R.]
[3542] [Comp. 2 Tim. iv. 10.—R.]
[3545] One V. ms. gives a more orthodox form to this prayer: “O Lord, only begotten Son, and Holy Spirit, Lord God, the Lamb of God, the Son of the Father, who takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. Thou who sittest at the right hand of the Father, have mercy upon us, for Thou only art holy; Thou only art Christ, Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.”
[3547] One V. ms. omits “the God and;” then reads, “to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.”
[3548] Luke ii. 29., etc.
[3549] One V. ms. reads, “with whom.”
