Introductory Notice to Methodius.
[3014] Cf. Luke ii. 22.
[3015] [Here seems to me a deep and true insight regarding the scriptural topics and events touched upon.]
[3017] The quotation from the prophet Habakkuk is from the LXX. version.—Tr.
[3023] [Note “made worthy;” so “found grace” and “my Saviour,” in St. Luke. Hence not immaculate by nature.]
[3025] τὸν τῆιπλασιασμὸν τὴς ἁγιότητος, Pantinus translates triplicem sanctitatis rationem, but this is hardly theological. Allusion is made to the song of the seraphim, Isa. vi.; and our author contends that the threefold hymn sung by the angels at Christ’s birth answers to that threefold acclamation of theirs in sign of the triune Deity.—Tr.
[3027] τὸν τὰ πάντα ἐν ἀκαταληψίᾳ ὑπεριδρυμένον. Cf. 1 Tim. vi. 16, φῶς οἰκῶν ἀπρόσιτον, ὃν εἶδεν οὐδεὶς ἀνθρώπων οὐδὲ ἰδεῖν δύναται.—Tr.
[3028] [This apostrophe is not prayer nor worship. (See sec. xiv., infra.) It may be made by any orator. See Burgon’s pertinent references to Legh Richmond and Bishop Horne, Lett. from Rome, pp. 237, 238.]
