Introductory Notice to The Clementine Homilies.
[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.
[1325] Matt. 11.25; Luke 10.21.]
[1326] [Comp. xviii. 1, etc.; also Recognitions, iii. 37, 38.—R.]
[1327] The mss. read ἐνέργειαν, “activity.” Clericus amended it into ἐνάργειαν, which means, vision or sight in plain open day with one’s own eyes, in opposition to the other word οπτασία, vision in sleep, or ecstasy, or some similar unusual state.
Chapter VI.—Peter Goes Out to Answer Simon.
[1328] Lit. “to a greater extent.”
Chapter VII.—Man in the Shape of God.
[1331] [Comp. xvi. 19. The theosophical views here presented are peculiar to the Homilies, though some traces of them appear in the Recognitions.—R.]
Chapter IX.—God the Centre or Heart of the Universe.
[1333] The whole of this chapter is full of corruption; “twice” occurs in one ms. Various attempts have been made to amend the passage.
[1334] An emendation.
[1335] The text is corrupt. We have translated ἐπ᾽ ἀπείρους τρεῖς. Some think “three” should be omitted. The three infinites are in respect of height, depth, and breadth.
[1336] As punctuated in Dressel, this reads, “that the infinite is the heart.”
[1337] The emendation of the transcriber of one of the mss.
[1338] This refers to the following mode of exhibiting the number: *** where each side presents the number three.
