Introductory Notice to The Recognitions of Clement.
[668] [This story (chaps. 62–65) is peculiar to the Recognitions. In Homily XVII. 14–19 there is an argument against the trustworthiness of supernatural visions, which is supposed to be anti-Pauline in its aim.—R.]
Chapter LXVI.—Existence and Conception.
[669] [The remaining chapters of this book hare no exact parallel in the Homilies.—R.]
[670] That is, have no visible or sensible species, according to the Platonic theory of perception.
Chapter LXXI.—Separation from the Unclean.
[671] [Comp. book i. 19, vii. 29; Homilies I. 22, XIII. 4.—R.]
[673] [On the demonology of this work see book iv. 15–19; comp. Homily IX. 8–22.—R.]
[674] [The larger part of book iii. has no direct parallel in the Homilies, though, of course, many of the views presented are given in the latter under different circumstances.—R.]
Chapter I.—Pearls Before Swine.
Chapter XII.—Second Day’s Discussion.
[676] Chaps ii.–xii. are wanting in the mss. of best authority; and it seems to us indisputable that they form no part of the original work. For this reason, and because we have found them utterly untranslatable, we have omitted them.
[677] [Comp. Homily XVII. 2 for a similar accusation made by Simon.—R.]
Chapter XIII.—Simon a Seducer.
Chapter XIV.—Simon Claims the Fulfilment of Peter’s Promise.
[679] Luke viii. 5. [Comp. Matt. 13.3; Mark 4.3, etc.—R.]
Chapter XV.—Simon’s Arrogance.
[680] [In Homily XIX. the discussion with Simon is respecting the existence of the evil one. Here the treatment is apparently of a higher philosophical character.—R.]
Chapter XX.—Common Principles.
Chapter XXI.—Freedom of the Will.
[682] [Comp. Homilies XI. 8, XIX. 15. But in the Recognitions this topic is more frequently treated. See chap. 26, and elsewhere.—R.]
Chapter XXIV.—God the Author of Good, Not of Evil.
[683] [Comp. Homily XIX. 12. The argument here is far more philosophical.—R.]
Chapter XXVI.—No Goodness Without Liberty.
[684] [Comp. Homily XIX. 15.—R.]
Chapter XXVII.—The Visible Heaven: Why Made.
Chapter XXIX.—Corruptible and Temporary Things Made by the Incorruptible and Eternal.
Chapter XXX.—How the Pure in Heart See God.
