Introductory Notice to Methodius.

[2539] Wisd. iv. 6.

Chapter VII.—The Rational Soul from God Himself; Chastity Not the Only Good, Although the Best and Most Honoured.

[2540] Gen. ii. 7.

[2541] [This language shows that it is not cited as Holy Scripture. It confirms St. Jerome’s testimony, Prolog. in Libros Salomonis.]

[2542] Wisd. xv. 10, 11.

[2543] 1 Tim. ii. 4.

[2544] His virgin. [St. Paul was married, and then a widower, in the opinion of many of the ancients. See Euseb., H. E., iii. 30.]

[2545] 1 Cor. vii. 38.

[2546] Matt. xxii. 30.

[2547] Matt. xix. 12.

[2548] The bridegroom’s.

[2549] Psa. 44.10.

Chapter I.—Passages of Holy Scripture Compared.

[2550] Gen. ii. 23-24, and Eph. v. 28-32.

[2551] Eph. v. 32. [A forcible argument.]

[2552] Gen. ii. 23, 24.

[2553] Eph. v. 28-32. [Compare the next chapter, note 4.]

Chapter II.—The Digressions of the Apostle Paul; The Character of His Doctrine: Nothing in It Contradictory; Condemnation of Origen, Who Wrongly Turns Everything into Allegory.

[2554] This is the obvious English equivalent of the Greek text.—Tr. [A singularly cautious testimony against Origen, whom our author follows too closely in allegorizing interpretations of Scripture. Origen, having literalized so sadly in one case, seems to have erred ever afterward in the other extreme. Here is a prudent caveat.]

Chapter III.—Comparison Instituted Between the First and Second Adam.

[2555] Gen. iii. 19.

[2556] Col. i. 15.

[2557] Rev. ii. 7.

[2558] Gen. iii. 22.

Chapter IV.—Some Things Here Hard and Too Slightly Treated, and Apparently Not Sufficiently Brought Out According to the Rule of Theology.

[2559] Namely, the second Adam.
