⁷⁵ Gen. xv. 5.

⁷⁶ Matt. iii. 9.

⁷⁷ Rom. iv. 12; Gal. iv. 28.

⁷⁸ Matt. v. 14.

⁷⁹ John xiv. 6, 7.

⁸⁰ Gen. xviii. 1.

⁸¹ Ex. iii. 7, 8.

⁸² Massuet here observes, that the fathers called the Holy Spirit the similitude of the Son.

⁸³ Matt. xi. 27; Luke x. 22.

⁸⁴ Rom. iv. 3.

⁸⁵ Matt. viii. 11.

⁸⁶ Luke xiii. 28.

⁸⁷ Harvey prefers the singular-"hypocrite."

⁸⁸ Luke xiii. 15, 16.

⁸⁹ The text here is rather uncertain. Harvey's conjectural reading of et jam for etiam has been followed.

⁹⁰ Luke vi. 3, 4.

⁹¹ This clause is differently quoted by Antonius Melissa and John Damascenus, thus: Paj basileuj dikaioj eiratikhn exei tacin, i.e., Every righteous king possesses a priestly order. Comp. 1 Pet. ii. 5, 9. [And with St. Peter's testimony to the priesthood of the laity, compare the same under the law. Ex. xix. 6. The Western Church has recognised the "Episcopate ab extra" of sovereigns; while, in the East, it has grown into Caesaropapism.]

⁹² Deut. xxxiii. 9.

⁹³ Num. xviii. 20.

⁹⁴ Deut. xviii. 1.

⁹⁵ Phil. iv. 17.

⁹⁶ Literally, "the Lord's Levitical substance"-Domini Leviticam substantiam.

⁹⁷ Literally, "to take food from seeds."

⁹⁸ Matt. x. 10.

⁹⁹ Num. xv. 32, etc.

¹⁰⁰ Matt. iii. 10.

¹⁰¹ 1 Cor. iii. 17.

¹⁰² Matt. xiii. 52.

¹⁰³ Matt. xxiii. 34.

¹⁰⁴ Ps. xcvi. 1.

¹⁰⁵ Isa. xlii. 10, quoted from memory.

¹⁰⁶ Jer. xxxi. 31.

¹⁰⁷ Matt. xii. 6.

¹⁰⁸ John i. 50.

¹⁰⁹ These words of Scripture are quoted by memory from Phil. iii. 12, 1 Cor. iv. 4, and xiii. 9, 10. It is remarkable that the second is incorporated with the preceding in a similar way, in the ancient Italic version known as the St. Germain copy.

¹¹⁰ Matt. v. 8.

¹¹¹ Isa. xxv. 9.

¹¹² 1 Pet. i. 8.

¹¹³ Rom. viii. 15.

¹¹⁴ This is in accordance with Harvey's text-"Maturescere profectum salutis." Grabe, however, reads, "Maturescere prefectum salutis;" making this equivalent to "ad prefectam salutem." In most mss.MSS; . "profectum" and "prefectum" would be written alike. The same word ("profectus") occurs again almost immediately, with an evident reference to and comparison with this clause.

¹¹⁵ 2 Tim. iii. 7.

¹¹⁶ Matt. xv. 3, 4.

¹¹⁷ Another variation from the textus receptus borne out by the Codex Bezae, and some ancient versions.

¹¹⁸ Ex. xx. 12, LXX.

¹¹⁹ John v. 39, 40.

¹²⁰ John v. 46.

¹²¹ See Gen. xviii. 13 and xxxi. 11, etc. There is an allusion here to a favourite notion among the Fathers, derived from Philo the Jew, that the name Israel was compounded from the three Hebrew words l) h)r #$y)

, i.e., "the man seeing God."

¹²² Ex. iii. 4, etc.

¹²³ Feuardent infers with great probability from this passage, that Irenaeus, like Tertullian and others of the Fathers, connected the word Pascha with pasxein, to suffer. [The LXX. constantly giving colour to early Christian ideas in this manner, they concluded, perhaps, that such coincidences were designed. The LXX. were credited with a sort of inspiration, as we learn from our author.]

¹²⁴ Latin, "et extremitatem temporum."

¹²⁵ Deut. xvi. 5, 6.

¹²⁶ The Latin is, "laetifici oculi ejus a vino," the Hebrew method of indicating comparison being evidently imitated.

¹²⁷ Gen. xlix. 10-12, LXX.

¹²⁸ Deut. xxxii. 6.

¹²⁹ Deut. xxviii. 66. Tertullian, Cyprian, and other early Fathers, agree with Irenaeus in his exposition of this text.

¹³⁰ Deut. xxxii. 6. "Owned thee," i.e., following the meaning of the Hebrew, "owned thee by generation."

¹³¹ Matt. xiii. 17.

¹³² Gen. i. 28.

¹³³ Matt. xxv. 21, etc.

¹³⁴ Ps. xxxv. 9.

¹³⁵ Or, "all those who were in the way of David"-omnes qui erant in via David, in dolore animae cognoverunt suum regem.

¹³⁶ Matt. xxi. 8.

¹³⁷ The Latin text is ambiguous: "dominabantur eorum, quibus ratio non constabat." The rendering may be, "and ruled over those things with respect to which it was not right that they should do so."

¹³⁸ Matt. xxi. 16; Ps. viii. 3.

¹³⁹ Isa. i. 22.

¹⁴⁰ Matt. xv. 3.

¹⁴¹ Rom. xiii. 10.

¹⁴² 1 Cor. xiii. 13.
