Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[4251] The Latin is, “per proprium visum.”

[4252] [If this and the former chapter seem to us superfluous, we must reflect that such testimony, from the beginning, has established the unity of Holy Scripture, and preserved to us—the Bible.]

Chapter XXXIII.—Whosoever confesses that one God is the author of both Testaments, and diligently reads the Scriptures in company with the presbyters of the Church, is a true spiritual disciple; and he will rightly understand and interpret all that the prophets have declared respecting Christ and the liberty of the New Testament.

[4253] 1 Cor. ii. 15. [The argument of this chapter hinges on Ps. xxv. 14, and expounds a difficult text of St. Paul. A man who has the mind of God’s Spirit is the only judge of spiritual things. Worldly men are incompetent critics of Scripture and of Christian exposition.

[4254] Rom. i. 21.

[4255] Isa. liii. 3.

[4256] Zech. ix. 9.

[4257] Ps. 118:22.

[4258] Isa. liii. 7.

[4259] Ex. xvii. 11.

[4260] Isa. xi. 12.

[4261] Comp. book iii. 20, 4.

[4262] Dan. vii. 13.

[4263] Mal. iv. 1.

[4264] Isa. xi. 4.

[4265] Matt. iii. 12;Luke iii. 17.

[4266] Harvey points this sentence interrogatively.

[4267] “Temperamentum calicis:” on which Harvey remarks that “the mixture of water with the wine in the holy Eucharist was the universal practice of antiquity … the wine signifying the mystical Head of the Church, the water the body.” [Whatever the significance, it harmonizes with the Paschal chalice, and with 1 John v. 6, and St. John’s gospel John xix. 34, 35.]

[4268] John xix. 34.

[4269] This sentence is very obscure in the Latin text.

[4270] Iliad, ix. 312, 313.

[4271] The text is obscure, and the construction doubtful.
