Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[4058] Rev. xi. 19.

Chapter XIX.—Earthly things may be the type of heavenly, but the latter cannot be the types of others still superior and unknown; nor can we, without absolute madness, maintain that God is known to us only as the type of a still unknown and superior being.

[4059] Isa. xl. 12.

[4060] Eph. i. 21.

[4061] Jer. xxiii. 23.

[4062] The Latin is, “et universum eum decurrerint.” Harvey imagines that this last word corresponds to κατατρέχωσι but it is difficult to fit such a meaning into the context.

Chapter XX.—That one God formed all things in the world, by means of the Word and the Holy Spirit: and that although He is to us in this life invisible and incomprehensible, nevertheless He is not unknown; inasmuch as His works do declare Him, and His Word has shown that in many modes He may be seen and known.

[4063] Gen. ii. 7.

[4064] Gen. i. 26.

[4065] This quotation is taken from the Shepherd of Hermas, book ii. sim. 1.

[4071] Col. i. 18.

[4072] Prov. iii. 19, 20.

[4073] Prov. viii. 22-25. [This is one of the favourite Messianic quotations of the Fathers, and is considered as the base of the first chapter of St. John’s Gospel.]

[4074] Prov. viii. 27-31.

[4075] Luke i. 71, 75.

[4076] Matt. v. 8.
