Introductory Notice to The Recognitions of Clement.
[808] [There are a number of indications, like this, in the narrative, foreshadowing the recognition of the old man as the father. In the Homilies nothing similar appears.—R.]
Chapter IV.—The Question Stated.
Chapter V.—Freedom of Discussion Allowed.
[810] [The whole arrangement, introducing the brothers as disputants, is peculiar to the Recognitions. The several discourses are constructed with much skill. The courtesy of the discussion is in sharp contrast with the tone of those in the Homilies, especially those with Simon Magus.—R.]
[811] [Comp. Homily XIII. 7.—R.]
[813] [Another foreshadowing of the approaching recognition; peculiar to this narrative.—R.]
Chapter IX.—Simple and Compound.
[814] [The argument of Niceta (chaps. 9–34), while it necessarily includes statements occurring elsewhere in this literature, is, as a whole, peculiar to the Recognitions. In order of arrangement and logical force it is much superior to most of the discourses.—R.]
Chapter XXIII.—Providence in Earthly Things.
[815] That is, the equator.
Chapter XXVII.—Power of Water.
[816] [De Maistre, Soirées, vi. 259.]
Chapter XXXIV.—Time of Making the World.
[817] [Comp. John i. 1-3. The expression seems to be used here with a polemic purpose.—R.]
Chapter XXXV.—A Contest of Hospitality.
[818] [This incident is peculiar to the Recognitions. There seems to be a reminiscence of this chief man in Homily IV. 10, where a rich man provides a place for the discussion; comp. chap. 38 here.—R.]
Chapter XXXVII.—“The Form of Sound Words, Which Ye Have Heard of Me.”
[819] [Peculiar to the Recognitions; there is probably here an anti-Pauline purpose.—R.]
Chapter XXXIX.—Recapitulation of Yesterday’s Argument.
[820] [The second day’s discussion, in which Aquila is the main speaker, is also of a high order. It is, as already indicated, peculiar to the Recognitions, though with the usual incidental correspondences in the Homilies.—R.]
Chapter XLVII.—Chastisements on the Righteous and the Wicked.
[821] Gen. iv. 12, in LXX.
Chapter XLVIII.—Chastisements for Sins.
Chapter XLIX.—God’s Precepts Despised.
[823] This rendering is according to a marginal reading.
[824] [Comp. book iv. 12; Homily VIII. 17.—R.]
Chapter LII.—“No Rose Without Its Thorn.”
[825] Compare with chaps. 52–54 the doctrine of pairs as stated in book iii. 59–61; Homily II. 15, etc., iii. 23.—R.]
[826] [On the creation of the evil one, see book x. 3, etc., and the discussion with Simon in Homily XIX. 2–18.—R.]
[827] Deut. xxxii. 8, in LXX.
Chapter LVII.—The Old Man Unconvinced.
[828] [Comp. Homily XIV. 3, etc.—R.]
Chapter LVIII.—Sitting in Judgment Upon God.
