Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies
[3886] The text here is rather uncertain. Harvey’s conjectural reading of et jam for etiam has been followed.
[3888] This clause is differently quoted by Antonius Melissa and John Damascenus, thus: Πᾶς βασιλεὺς δίκαιος ἱερατικὴν ἔχει τάξιν, i.e., Every righteous king possesses a priestly order. Comp. 1 Pet. ii. 5, 9. [And with St. Peter’s testimony to the priesthood of the laity, compare the same under the law. Ex. xix. 6. The Western Church has recognised the “Episcopate ab extra” of sovereigns; while, in the East, it has grown into Cæsaropapism.]
[3893] Literally, “the Lord’s Levitical substance”—Domini Leviticam substantiam.
[3894] Literally, “to take food from seeds.”
[3896] Num. xv. 32, etc.
Chapter IX.—There is but one author, and one end to both covenants.
[3902] Isa. xlii. 10, quoted from memory.
