Introductory Notice To The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles.
[2357] The reader has observed that all my notes, except the “General Notes,” are bracketed when they illustrate any other text except that of my own original prefaces, elucidations, etc. This rule will apply to Professor Riddle’s work, as well as to that of the Edinburgh translator’s.
section 1.—the discovery of the codex, and its contents.
[2358] See New-York Independent, July 31, 1884.
[2359] See this volume, infra, the Second Epistle of Clement, so called.
section 2.—publication of the discovered works: the effect.
[2360] See Bibliography at the close of vol. viii., this series.

[2361] The Church Order is to be distinguished from the Ethiopic collection of Apostolic canons; see Introductory Notice to Apostolic Constitutions.

[2366] [Compare Rev. ii. 2 and 9.]

[2368] [Compare 1 John iv. 1; Titus i. 10.]
The Lord’s Teaching Through the Twelve Apostles to the Nations.
[2369] The longer title is supposed to be the original one; the shorter, a popular abridgment. The latter has no real connection with Acts ii. 42. Many hold that the term “nations” (or “Gentiles”) points to a Jewish Christian as the author (so Bryennios), though this is denied by others (so Brown). A similar diversity of opinion exists as to the class of readers; but, if the early date is accepted, the more probable theory is, that the first part at least of the manual was for the instruction of catechumens of Gentile birth (so Bryennios, Schaff). Others extend it to Gentile Christians.
Chapter I.—The Two Ways; The First Commandment.
[2370] This phrase connects the book with the Duæ Viæ; see Introductory Notice. Barnabas has “light” and “darkness” for “life” and “death.”
[2371] Deut. xxx. 15, 19; Jer. xxi. 8; Matt. vii. 13, 1414
