Show All Footnotes & Jump to 823
Introductory Notice to The Recognitions of Clement.
[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.
[829] [This discourse of Peter is peculiar to the Recognitions; it resembles somewhat the earlier discourse to Clement in book i.—R.]
Chapter LIX.—The True Prophet.
[830] [The introduction of these chapters concerning the true Prophet shows a far more orderly method of constructing the entire discussion with the father than that of the Homilies; comp. book xi. 1, 2.—R.]
[831] Wisd. i. 4.
Chapter LXI.—Ignorance of the Philosophers.
[832] [Comp. Homily XV. 5.—R.]
Chapter LXII.—End of the Conference.
[833] If we were to read quam instead of quem, the sense would be: that He might lay open to men the way of truth which they had blocked up. So Whiston.
