Introductory Notice to The Clementine Homilies.
[1110] That is, I suppose, the wicked one.
[1111] I suppose Nimrod, or Zoroaster.
Chapter VII.—Sacrificial Orgies.
[1112] [Comp. Recognitions, iv. 13.—R.]
Chapter VIII.—The Best Merchandise.
[1113] [Compare with chapters 8–18 the parallel passage in Recognitions, iv. 14–22. The resemblances are quite close.—R.]
Chapter X.—How They are to Be Expelled.
[1114] The gender is here changed, but the sense shows that the reference is still to the demons. I suppose the author forgot that in the preceding sentences he had written δαίμονες (masc.) and not δαιμόνια (neut.).
Chapter XIII.—Deceits of the Demons.
[1115] Some read οὕτως, thus.
[1116] The meaning is: “the idols or images of the heathen deities are not living, but the demons adopt the forms of these images when they appear to men in dreams.”
Chapter XIX.—Privileges of the Baptized.
[1117] [With chaps. 19–21 compare Recognitions, iv. 32, 35, which closely resemble them.—R.]
Chapter XXI.—The Demons Subject to the Believer.
[1118] I prefer here the common text to any of the proposed emendations, and suppose that the author represents Cæsar, though but one man, as the image or personification of the whole empire.
Chapter XXIII.—The Sick Healed.
[1119] [Comp. Recognitions, iv. 7.—R.]
Chapter I.—The Third Day in Tripolis.
[1120] [Book v. of the Recognitions, assigned to the second day at Tripolis, contains most of the matter in this Homily, but has many passages without a parallel here.—R.]
[1121] Matt. 4.10; Luke 4.8; Deut. 6.13.—R.].
Chapter VII.—Unprofitableness of Idols.
[1122] [Recognitions, v. 14, is parallel to this chapter, and the resemblance is close throughout some of the succeeding chapters.—R.]
Chapter VIII.—No Gods Which are Made with Hands.
[1123] [This, with the corresponding passage in Recognitions, v. 15, points to an early origin of the literature, under the heathen emperors.—R.]
Chapter X.—Idolatry a Delusion of the Serpent.
[1124] [Comp. Recognitions, ii. 45, and especially the full discussion about the serpent in Recognitions, v. 17–26.—R.]
Chapter XVI.—Gods of the Egyptians.
[1125] γαστρῶν πνεύματα.
Chapter II.—“Giving All Diligence.”
[1126] [With chaps. 2, 3, the corresponding chapters in Recognitions, vi., agree. The parallel is resumed in chap. 19.—R.]
[1127] [Most of the matter in chaps. 4–18 is found in Recognitions, v. 23–36.—R.]
Chapter VIII.—Liberty and Necessity.
[1128] [Comp. Recognitions, iii. 21, etc. In that work the freedom of the will, as necessary to goodness, is more frequently affirmed.—R.]
Chapter IX.—God a Jealous God.
[1129] We have adopted the reading of Codex O. The reading in the others is corrupt.
Chapter XVI.—All Things Work for Good to Them that Love God.
Chapter XVIII.—Charming of the Serpent.
