Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

^[4103] Ex. xxxiii. 20.

^[4104] Rev. v. 6.

^[4105] Rev. xix. 11-17.

^[4106] Hos. i. 2, 3.

^[4107] Acts xv. 14.

^[4108] 1 Cor. vii. 14. [But Hosea himself says (Hos. xii. 10), “I have used similitudes;” and this history may be fairly referred to prophetic vision. Dr. Pusey, in his Minor Prophets, in loc., argues against this view, however; and his reasons deserve consideration.]

^[4109] Hos. i. 6-9.

^[4110] Rom. ix. 25, 26.

^[4111] The text is here uncertain; and while the general meaning of the sentence is plain, its syntax is confused and obscure.

^[4112] Irenæus seems here to have written “three” for “two” from a lapse of memory.

^[4113] Matt. xxi. 31.

Chapter XXI.—Abraham’s faith was identical with ours; this faith was prefigured by the words and actions of the old patriarchs.

^[4114] Gal. iii. 5-9; Gen. xii. 3.

^[4115] Massuet would cancel these words.

^[4116] Rom. ix. 10-13;Gen. xxv. 23.

^[4117] Rom. ix. 13;Mal. i. 2.

^[4118] Gen. xxv. 26.

^[4119] Rev. vi. 2.

^[4120] John xix. 15.

^[4121] Ps. ii. 8.

^[4122] The text of this sentence is in great confusion, and we can give only a doubtful translation.

^[4123] [Leah’s eyes were weak, according to the LXX.; and Irenæus infers that Rachel’s were “beautiful exceedingly.” Canticles, i. 15.]

Chapter XXII.—Christ did not come for the sake of the men of one age only, but for all who, living righteously and piously, had believed upon Him; and for those, too, who shall believe.
