Introductory Notice to The Clementine Homilies.
[1362] This word is not in the text. Schliemann proposed the word “heart.” Possibly “breath” or “spirit” may be the lost word. See above.
[1363] “By” should properly be “from.”
[1364] Lit., “who produces according to the merit of each one knowing.” Cotelerius translated, “who, knowing the merit of each man, does to him according to it.” The idea seems to be, that God uncovers the truth hidden in the soul to each man according to his deserts.
[1365] Num. xii. 6-7; Ex. xxxiii. 11.
Chapter XIX.—Opposition to Peter Unreasonable.
[1367] We have adopted an emendation of Schwegler’s. The text reads, “in good repute.” [The word “condemned” is supposed to be borrowed from the account of the contest at Antioch in Gal. ii. 11, where it is applied to the Apostle Peter. This passage has therefore been regarded as a covert attack upon the Apostle Paul.—R.]
Chapter XX.—Another Subject for Discussion Proposed.
[1368] This passage is corrupt in the text. Dressel reads, “that activity is more distinct than apparition.” By activity would be meant, “acting while one is awake, and in full possession of his sense;” and thus the meaning would be nearly the same as in our translation.
Chapter I.—Simon Maintains that the Framer of the World is Not the Highest God.
[1370] [Comp. xvii. 5, and Recognitions, iii. 37, 38.—R.]
Chapter II.—Definition of Goodness and Justice.
[1371] There is a lacuna in one of the mss. here, which is supplied in various ways. We have inserted the word “goods.”
[1372] This translation of Cotelerius is doubtful. More correctly it would be, “by gratifying different people,” which does not make sense. Wieseler proposes, “by gratifying in different ways.”
Chapter III.—God Both Good and Just.
[1373] The text seems corrupt here. Literally it is, “from Moses to the present times, as has been written, He is just also.”
[1374] Luke 18.18; Matt. 19.16, ff.
Chapter IV.—The Unrevealed God.
[1375] Matt. 11.27; Luke 10.22. Comp. Homily XVII. 4; Recognitions, ii. 47, 48. The discussion here is much fuller.—R.].
Chapter V.—Peter Doubts Simon’s Honesty.
[1377] The words in italics are inserted to fill up a lacuna which occurs here in the Vaticanms.
Chapter VII.—Simon Confesses His Ignorance.
[1378] The Greek has “but.”
Chapter IX.—How Simon Bears His Exposure.
[1379] [The remainder of the Homily is without a close parallel in the Recognitions.—R.]
[1380] Lit., “caught in the act.”
