Introductory Note to The Pastor of Hermas
[14] Hist. Eccl. iii. 3.
[15] De Viris Illustribus, c. x.
[16] Contra Hæres., iv. 20, 2.
[17] Strom., i. xxi. p. 426.
[18] Ut supra.
[19] De Pudicitia, c. xx., also c. x.; De Oratione, c. xvi.
[20] [This statement should be compared with Westcott’s temperate and very full account of the Muratorian Fragment, pp. 235–245.]
[21] The commencement varies. In the Vatican: “He who had brought me up, sold a certain young woman at Rome. Many years after this I saw her and recognized her.” So Lips.; Pal. has the name of the woman, Rada. The name Rhode occurs in Acts xii. 13.
[22] “On my road to the villages.” This seems to mean: as I was taking a walk into the country, or spending my time in travelling amid rural scenes. So the Æthiopic version. “Proceeding with these thoughts in my mind.”—Vat. After I had come to the city of Ostia.”—Pal. “Proceeding to some village.”—Lips. [The Christian religion begetting this enthusiasm for nature, and love for nature’s God, is to be noted. Where in all heathendom do we find spirit or expression like this?]
[23] Creatures. Creature or creation.—Lips., Vat., Æth.
[24] Pathless place. Place on the right hand.—Vat. [Rev. xvii. 3, xxi. 10. Dante, Inferno, i. 1–5.]
[25] Lord. God.—Sin. alone.
[26] Are you to be the subject of my accusation? Are you to accuse me?—Vat., Lips., Æth.
[28] How? In what place?—Vat., Sin.
[29] Wickedness. The desire of fornication.—Lips. [Prov. xxi. 10, xxiv. 9;Matt. v. 28.]
[30] Literally, his glory is made straight in the heavens. As long as his thoughts are righteous and his way of life correct, he will have the Lord in heaven merciful to him.—Vat. When he thinks righteously, he corrects himself, and his grace will be in heaven, and he will have the Lord merciful in every business.—Pal. His dignity will be straight in the skies.—Æth. [Prov. x. 24, xi. 23.]
[31] [Col. iii. 2; Ps. xlix. 6.]
[32] For many … life. For the minds of such become empty. Now this is what the doubters do who have no hope in the Lord, and despise and neglect their life.—Vat. Their souls not having the hope of life, do not resist these luxuries: for they despair of themselves and their life.—Pal. [Eph. ii. 12.]
[33] [Job xlii. 8.]
[34] Literally, perfect. How … sins. How shall I entreat the Lord in regard to my very numerous sins?—Vat. How can I propitiate the Lord God in these my sins?—Pal. How then shall I be saved, and beg pardon of the Lord for these my many sins?—Æth. [Mic. vi. 6, 7, 8.]
