Introduction.

^[4537] Prov. 8.22.

18. (3) of Substance.

^[4538] 2 Macc. vii. 28.

^[4539] Herm. Sim. viii.

19. (4) of Type and Copy.

^[4540] We must here reproduce the Greek word, as Origen passes to meanings of it which the English “beginning” does not cover.

^[4541] Coloss. i. 15.

20. (5) of Elements and What is Formed from Them.

^[4542] Heb. v. 12.

^[4543] 1 Cor. xv. 45.

22. The Word Was in the Beginning, I.e., in Wisdom, Which Contained All Things in Idea, Before They Existed. Christ’s Character as Wisdom is Prior to His Other Characters.

^[4544] Ps. cxlviii. 5.

^[4545] Prov. viii. 22.

^[4546] John i. 3, 4.

^[4549] Mr. Brooke, T. & S. I. iv. p. 15, discusses this corrupt passage and suggests an improved text which would yield the sense, that wisdom was to give to things and matter, “it might be rash to say bluntly their essences, but their moulding and their forms.”

^[4550] Rev. 22.13.

^[4551] Rom. iii. 25.

^[4552] Passage obscure and probably corrupt.

23. The Title “Word” Is to Be Interpreted by the Same Method as the Other Titles of Christ. The Word of God is Not a Mere Attribute of God, But a Separate Person. What is Meant When He is Called the Word.

^[4553] John xiii. 13.

^[4554] John x. 36.

^[4555] John xvii. 1.

^[4556] John xviii. 33, 36.
