Introductory Notice to The Clementine Homilies.
[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.
[1339] The creation of the world in six days.
[1340] The seventh day on which God rested, the type of the rest of the future age. See Epistle of Barnabas, c. xv.
Chapter X.—The Nature and Shape of God.
[1341] The words in italics are inserted by conjecture. “Sometimes incomprehensible, sometimes illimitable,” occur only in onems.
[1342] We have adopted Wieseler’s suggestions.
[1343] This word is justly suspected. The passage is in other respects corrupt.
[1344] The word “slight” is not used in reference to the character of the faith, but to indicate that the act of faith is a small act compared with the results that flow from it.
Chapter XII.—The Fear and Love of God.
[1345] We have adopted an emendation of a passage which is plainly corrupt.
Chapter XIII.—The Evidence of the Senses Contrasted with that from Supernatural Vision.
[1346] Doctrines and deeds; lit., the things of your teacher.
