Introductory Note to the Epistles of Ignatius
[1381] Prov. viii. 17 (loosely quoted from LXX.).
Chapter IV.—Commendation and exhortation.
[1382] The original is πάπᾳ, [common to primitive bishops.]
Ignatius, and the brethren who are with him, to John the holy presbyter.
[1384] Literally, “of vices.”
[1385] Some mss. and editions seem with propriety to omit this word.
[1386] Literally, “a nature of angelic purity is allied to human nature.”
His friend Ignatius to John the holy presbyter.
[1387] Literally, “his own.”
[1388] Some omit this word.
[1389] Literally, “of herself.” Some read, instead of “de se,” “deorum,” when the translation will be, “the true God of gods.”
[1390] Or, “face.” Some omit the word.
[1391] Or, “good.”
Her friend Ignatius to the Christ-bearing Mary.
[1392] Literally, “his own.” [Mary is here called χριστοτόκος, and not θεοτόκος, which suggests a Nestorian forgery.]

Introductory Note to the Martyrdom of Ignatius
[1395] He published an edition of Ignatius, Oxford, 1709.
[1396] [A most remarkable statement. “References” may surely be traced, at least in Eusebius (iii. 36) and Irenæus (Adv. Hæres. v. 28), if not in Jerome, etc. But the sermon of St. Chrysostom (Opp. ii. 593) seems almost, in parts, a paraphrase.]
[1397] [See on this matter Jacobson’s note (vol ii. p. 262), and reference to Pearson (Vind. Ignat., part ii. cap. 12). The false accentuation (Θεόφορος) occurs in some copies to support the myth of the child Ignatius as the God-borne instead of the God-bearing; i.e., carried by Christ, instead of carrying the Spirit of Christ within.]
[1398] [But see the note in Jacobson, vol. ii. p.557.]
Chapter I.—Desire of Ignatius for martyrdom.
[1399] The date of Trajan’s accession was a.d. 98.
[1400] The text here is somewhat doubtful.
[1401] Literally, “any of the faint-hearted and more guileless.”
