Introductory Note to The Pastor of Hermas
[37] For … spirit. For this hateful thought ought not to be in a servant of God, nor ought a well-tried spirit to desire an evil deed.—Vat. [The praise here bestowed on Hermas favours the idea that a second Hermas was the author.]
[38] But that. But God is not angry with you on your own account, but on account of your house, which has.—Vat.
[39] Corrupted. To live riotously.—Vat. [1 Sam. iii. 11, 14. Traditions of the Pauline Hermas may be here preserved.]
[40] Lord. God.—Vat. [The Montanist dogma representing God as the reverse of (Neh. ix. 17) “gentle and easy to be entreated” is rebuked.]
[41] Will strengthen. Has preserved you in glory.—Vat. Strengthened and established.—Lips. Has saved your house.—Pal.
[42] Easy-minded. Only wander not, but be calm.—Vat. Omitted in Pal.
[43] Accomplishes … wishes. And exhibits it to any one to whom he wishes.—Vat.
[44] So shall you also, teaching the truth daily, cut off great sin.—Vat.
[45] I know … saints. For the Lord knows that they will repent with all their heart, and He will write you in the Book of Life.—Vat. See Phil. iv. 3;Rev. xx. 15. [He contrasts the mild spirit of the Gospel with the severity of the Law in the case of Eli.]
[46] And give ear to the glories of God, omitted in Vat.
[47] And then … her. And unfolding a book, she read gloriously, magnificently, and admirably.—Vat. [Dan. x. 9.]
[48] Gentle. For they were few and useful to us.—Vat.
[49] By His own wisdom and providence. By His mighty power.—Vat., Pal. [Scripture is here distilled like the dew. Prov. iii. 19. Ps. xxiv. 2, and marginal references.]
[50] Holy omitted by Lips.
[51] Removes. He will remove.—Vat.
[52] See 2 Pet. iii. 5.
[53] [Isa. lxv. 22. See Faber’s Historical Inquiry, as to the primitive idea of the elect, book ii. 2. New York, 1840.]
[54] Be strong, or be made strong.—Vat. [1 Cor. xvi. 13.]
[55] Country; lit. to the villages. From Cumæ—Vat. While I was journeying in the district of the Cumans.—Pal.
[56] [Ezek. i. 1; iii. 23.]
[57] Going … Letter. [Ezek. ii. 9; Rev. x. 4.] Now taking the book, I sat down in one place and wrote the whole of it in order.—Pal. In the ancient mss. there was nothing to mark out where one word ended and another commenced.
