Introductory Notice to The Recognitions of Clement.
Chapter XLII.—“Full of All Subtlety and All Mischief.”
[696] [The concluding portion of this discussion (chaps. 42–48) is peculiar alike in its argument and its colloquies.—R.]
Chapter XLIV.—Sight or Hearing?
[697] [Comp. book ii. 15 and Homily II. 26.—R.]
[698] Evidently parodied from Acts viii. 18-24. This incident is peculiar to the Recognitions.—R.]
[699] [Compare with this chapter book ii. 9, 14; Homily II. 32.—R.]
Chapter XLIX.—Simon’s Retreat.
[700] [This account of the close of the discussion is peculiar to the Recognitions.—R.]
Chapter LV.—Ten Commandments Corresponding to the Plagues of Egypt.
[703] Ex. vii., viii.
Chapter LIX.—Good and Evil in Pairs.
[706] [The substance of chaps. 59, 60, occurs in Homily II. 33, 34, just before the postponement of the discussion with Simon.—R.]
[707] [On the doctrine of pairs compare Homily II. 15, etc., 33; III. 23.—R.]
Chapter LXII.—The Christian Life.
Chapter LXIII.—A Deserter from Simon’s Camp.
[709] [This incident is narrated only in the Recognitions.—R.]
Chapter LXIV.—Declaration of Simon’s Wickedness.
[710] [With the remainder of the book compare Homily III. 58–73. The resemblance is general rather than particular.—R.]
Chapter LXV.—Peter Resolves to Follow Simon.
[711] Matt. xviii. 7; Luke xvii. 1.
[712] [In the Homilies full details are given respecting the choice of Zacchæus (who is identified with the publican in Luke xix.), his unwillingness to serve; precepts are also added concerning Church officers.—R.]
Chapter LXVII.—Invitation to Baptism.
[713] This may be translated, “that he may partake of holy things.” Cotelerius supposes the words “holy things” to mean the body and blood of Christ.
Chapter LXVIII.—Twelve Sent Before Him.
[714] [Compare with this chapter the lists in book ii. 1 and in Homily II. 1. The special significance attached to the number twelve is peculiar to this passage.—R.]
Chapter LXXIII.—Tidings of Simon.
[715] [In Homily III. 58 Simon is represented as doing great miracles at Tyre. Peter follows him there, but finds that he has gone. The long discussions with him are assigned to Laodicea. See Homilies, xvi., etc.—R.]
Chapter LXXV.—Contents of Clement’s Despatches to James.
