Introductory Notice to Methodius.
Chapter I.—Passages of Holy Scripture Compared.
[2550] Gen. ii. 23-24, and Eph. v. 28-32.
[2551] Eph. v. 32. [A forcible argument.]
[2553] Eph. v. 28-32. [Compare the next chapter, note 4.]
[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.
[2559] Namely, the second Adam.
[2560] Second Adam.
[2561] The obscurity of this chapter is indicated in the heading placed over it by the old Latin translator. The general meaning, however, will be clear enough to the theological reader.—Tr.
Chapter V.—A Passage of Jeremiah Examined.
Chapter VII.—The Works of Christ, Proper to God and to Man, the Works of Him Who is One.
[2567] In Him.
[2568] Here, as in the previous chapter, and in many other passages, I have preferred the text of Jahn to that of Migne, as being generally the more accurate.—Tr.
