Introductory Notice to The Clementine Homilies.
[953] A corruption of the texts, Matt. xxii. 29; Mark xii. 24.
Chapter LII.—Sins of the Saints Denied.
Chapter I.—The Morning of the Discussion.
[955] [The first twenty-eight chapters of this homily have no exact parallel in the Recognitions; much of the matter is peculiar to this work.—R.]
Chapter VI.—Purgatory and Hell.
[956] The text manifestly corrupt.
[957] Perhaps, rather, “the greatest part.”
Chapter XV.—Christ’s Prophecies.
[958] Matt. xxiv. 2, 34; Luke xix. 43-44.
Chapter XVII.—Whether Adam Had the Spirit.
[959] [Here we find another view, suggesting the speculative opinions for which the author desires the indorsement of Peter.—R.]
Chapter XVIII.—Adam Not Ignorant.
[962] From a conjectural reading by Neander.
[963] Matt. xxiii. 37; Luke xiii. 34; Luke xxiii. 34.
Chapter XXI.—The Eating of the Forbidden Fruit Denied.
Chapter XXII.—Male and Female.
[966] That is, the present world is female, and is under the rule of the female; the world to come is male, and is under the rule of the male.
[967] The allusion is to the fact that John the Baptist is called the greatest of those born of woman, while Christ is called the Son of man.
Chapter XXIII.—Two Kinds of Prophecy.
[968] Literally, “Let there be to us two genuine prophecies.”
[969] [The doctrine of these chapters is tinged with Gnostic dualism; much of the matter might, according to tradition, have been equally well put in the mouth of Simon.—R.]
Chapter XXV.—Cain’s Name and Nature.
[970] [Note the fantastic mysticism of this interpretation here given.—R.]
[971] Qu. “towards Abel”?
Chapter XXIX.—The Signal Given.
[972] [For a general comparison of the discussions with Simon, see Recognitions, ii. 19. Comp. Homily XVI. 1.—R.]
Chapter XXX.—Apostolic Salutation.
[973] [In Recognitions, ii. 20, this sentence occurs; but the opening discourse of Peter is quite different, far more dignified and consistent with the real character of the Apostle.—R.]
