Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies
[4206] [Jon. iv. 11. The tenderness of our author constantly asserts itself, as in this reference to children.]
[4209] Matt. xiii. 11-16;Isa. vi. 10.
[4214] Ex. iii. 22, Ex. xi. 2. [Our English translation “borrow” is a gratuitous injury to the text. As “King of kings” the Lord enjoins a just tax, which any earthly sovereign might have imposed uprightly. Our author argues well.]
[4216] This perplexed sentence is pointed by Harvey interrogatively, but we prefer the above.
[4217] [A touching tribute to the imperial law, at a moment when Christians were “dying daily” and “as sheep for the slaughter.” So powerfully worked the divine command, Luke vi. 29.]
[4219] This is, if he inveighs against the Israelites for spoiling the Egyptians; the former being a type of the Christian Church in relation to the Gentiles.
[4224] As Harvey remarks, this is “a strange translation for ἐκλίπητε” of the text. rec., and he adds that “possibly the translator read ἐκτράπητε.”
