Introductory Notice to The Clementine Homilies.
[1304] We have adopted an emendation here. The text has: “Even thus the incomparable is one.”
Chapter XVIII.—The Name of God.
[1305] Wieseler proposes to join this clause with the following: “And in point of choice the name which.”
Chapter XIX.—The Shape of God in Man.
[1306] Lit., “of that one, of Him.” [The chapter is peculiar to the Homilies; comp. xvii. 7, 8.—R.]
Chapter XX.—The Character of God.
[1307] One ms. reads, “was not restrained.”
[1308] We have inserted ἄν, and suppose the sentence to be ironical. The meaning might be the same without ἄν. The text of Dressel is as follows: “For is not He who then punished the sins God, Creator of heaven and earth; since even now, being blasphemed in the highest degree, He punished it in the highest degree?”
[1309] Cotelerius translates: “to His enemies.”
Chapter XXI.—Simon Promises to Appeal to the Teaching of Christ. Peter Dismisses the Multitudes.
[1310] i.e., the Scriptures.
[1311] A distinction has to be made between the Creator, or maker out of nothing, and the framer, or fashioner, or Demiurge, who puts the matter into shape.
[1312] Lit., “the word against God for the trial of men.”
[1313] Comp. Matt. xxiv. 24.
Chapter I.—Simon Comes to Peter.
[1314] The text has: “against Peter.”
Chapter II.—Simon’s Speech Against Peter.
[1315] [Comp. Recognitions, iii. 12, for a similar accusation made by Simon, at the beginning of the second day’s discussion.—R.]
[1316] εἰδώλων, idols.
Chapter III.—Simon’s Accusation of Peter.
[1317] ἰδεῶν.
Chapter IV.—It is Asserted that Christ’s Teaching is Different from Peter’s.
[1318] [These chapters are peculiar to the Homilies.—R.]
[1320] The Gnostic distinction between the God who is just and the God who is good, is here insisted on.
[1321] Matt. 11.27; Luke 10.22. Comp. Recognitions, ii. 47.—R.]
[1322] One ms. reads, “saw.”
Chapter V.—Jesus Inconsistent in His Teaching.
