Introductory Note to The Pastor of Hermas
[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.
[58] God … against. Omitted in Vat.
[59] Not, omitted in Vat.
[60] Make known. Rebuke with these words.—Vat. [Your sister in Christ, i.e., when converted.]
[61] Let her restrain her tongue.—Vat. [Jas. iii. 5-10.]
[62] For … you. For she will be instructed, after you have rebuked her with those words which the Lord has commanded to be revealed to you.—Vat.
[63] [Against Montanism. Matt. xii. 31. xviii. 22.]
[64] [To show that the Catholic doctrine does not make Christ the minister of sin. Gal. ii. 17.]
[65] Doubt not. [Jas. i. 5.] And so act.—Vat.
[66] Passage. [Luke xvi. 22.] Your journey.—Pal.
[67] And whosoever shall not deny his own life.—Vat. [Seeking one’s life was losing it: hating one’s own life was finding it. (Matt. x. 39; Luke xiv. 26.) The great tribuation here referred to, is probably that mystery of St. Paul (2 Thess. ii. 3), which they supposed nigh at hand. Our author probably saw signs of it in Montanus and his followers.]
[68] Those … coming. The meaning of this sentence is obscure. The Vat. is evidently corrupt, but seems to mean: “The Lord has sworn by His Son, that whoever will deny Him and His Son, promising themselves life thereby, they [God and His Son] will deny them in the days that are to come.” The days that are to come would mean the day of judgment and the future state. See Matt. x. 33. [This they supposed would soon follow the great apostasy and tribulation. The words “earlier times” are against the Pauline date.]
[69] Became gracious. Will be gracious.—Pal.
[70] The Vat. adds: but forgetfulness of them, eternal life. [Lev. xix. 18. See Jeremy Taylor, Of Forgiveness, Discourse xi. vol. i. p. 217. London, Bohn, 1844.]
