Introductory Notice to The Clementine Homilies.
[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.]
