Show All Footnotes & Jump to 828
Introductory Notice to The Recognitions of Clement.
[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.
[834] [The discourses in book ix. are peculiar to the Recognitions not only in their position in the story, but to a remarkably large extent in the matter.—R.]
[835] [Comp. book viii. 58–62.—R.]
Chapter IV.—Why the Evil Prince Was Made.
[836] [Comp. book viii. 55, 56; Homily XIX. 2–18.—R.]
[837] [The doctrine of free-will, and the necessity of evil in consequence, appears throughout. Comp. book iii. 21, v. 6. In the Homilies there is not so much emphasis laid upon this point; but see Homily XI. 8.—R.]
Chapter VII.—The Old and the New Birth.
[838] [Compare Homily XI. 26 on this view of baptism.—R.]
