Introductory Notice to The Recognitions of Clement.
[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.]
[840] [On the doctrine of demons compare book iv. 14–22; Homily IX. 8–18.—R.]
[841] [On the error of astrology compare book x. 7–12. In Homily XIV. 5 and elsewhere “genesis” and the science of astrology are identified.]—R.
Chapter XVII.—Astrological Lore.
[842] Ch. 17 and ch. 19–29 are taken in an altered form from the writing ascribed to Bardesanes, De Fato. [These chapters have no parallel in the Homilies, but the argument of the old man respecting genesis implies the same position; comp. Homily XIV. 3–7, 11.—R.]
[843] Conjectural reading, “to kill with the sword.”
[844] That is, violators of the sacred mysteries, which was regarded as one of the most horrid of crimes.
Chapter XIX.—Refutation of Astrology.
