Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies
[4785] Lib. iv. 5, 6.
[4787] Thus in a Greek fragment; in the Old Latin, Deus.
[4794] 1 Cor. ii. 9; Isa. lxiv. 4.
[4796] Grabe and others suppose that some part of the work has been lost, so that the above was not its original conclusion.
[4797] This fragment is quoted by Eusebius, Hist. Eccl., v. 20. It occurred at the close of the lost treatise of Irenæus entitled De Ogdoade.
[4798] This interesting extract we also owe to Eusebius, who (ut sup.) took it from the work De Ogdoade, written after this former friend of Irenæus had lapsed to Valentinianism. Florinus had previously held that God was the author of evil, which sentiment Irenæus opposed in a treatise, now lost, called περὶ μοναρχίας.
[4799] Comp. p. 32, this volume, and Phil. iv. 22.
