CHAPTER I.
Τίνων χάριν ἐπιτελοῦνται αἱ τῶν σημείων δυνάμεις.
For whose sake the powers of signs are accomplished.
Τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τὸ μέγα τῆς εὐσεβείας ἡμῖν παραδιδόντος μυστήριον, καὶ προσκαλουμένου Ἰουδαίους τε καὶ Ἕλληνας εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν τοῦ ἑνὸς καὶ μόνου ἀληθινοῦ Θεοῦ Πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καθὼς αὐτός πού φησιν εὐχαριστῶν ἐπὶ τῇ σωτηρίᾳ τῶν πιστευσάντων· « Ἐφανέρωσά σου τὸ ὄνομα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις, τὸ ἔργον ὃ ἔδωκάς μοι, ἐτελείωσα· » καὶ περὶ ἡμῶν λέγοντος τῷ Πατρί· « Πάτερ ἅγιε, εἰ καὶ ὁ κόσμος σε οὐκ ἔγνω, ἀλλ' ἐγώ σε ἔγνων, καὶ οὗτοί σε ἔγνωσαν· » εἰκότως, ὡς ἂν τετελειωμένων ἡμῶν, φησὶ πᾶσιν ἅμα, περὶ τῶν ἐξ αὐτοῦ διὰ τοῦ Πνεύματος διδομένων χαρισμάτων· « Σημεῖα δὲ τοῖς πιστεύσασιν, ταῦτα παρακολουθήσει· ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου δαιμόνια ἐκβαλοῦσι· γλώσσαις καιναῖς λαλήσουσιν· ὄφεις ἀροῦσι· κἂν θανάσιμόν τι πίωσιν, οὐ μὴ αὐτοὺς βλάψει· ἐπὶ ἀῤῥώστους χεῖρας ἐπιθήσουσι, καὶ καλῶς ἕξουσι. » Τούτων τῶν χαρισμάτων πρότερον μὲν ἡμῖν δοθέντων τοῖς ἀποστόλοις, μέλλουσι τὸ Εὐαγγέλιον καταγγέλλειν πάσῃ τῇ κτίσει· ἔπειτα δὲ τοῖς δι' ἡμῶν πιστεύσασιν ἀναγκαίως χορηγουμένων· οὐκ εἰς τὴν τῶν ἐνεργούντων ὠφέλειαν, ἀλλ' εἰς τὴν τῶν ἀπίστων συγκατάθεσιν, ἵνα οὓς οὐκ ἔπεισεν ὁ λόγος, τούτους ἡ τῶν σημείων δυσωπήσῃ δύναμις· τὰ γὰρ σημεῖα οὐ τοῖς πιστοῖς ἡμῖν, ἀλλὰ τοῖς ἀπίστοις, Ἰουδαίων τε καὶ Ἑλλήνων· οὔτε γὰρ τὸ δαίμονας ἐκβάλλειν ἡμέτερον κέρδος, ἀλλὰ τῶν ἐνεργείᾳ Κυρίου καθαιρομένων· καθὼς αὐτός που παιδεύων ἡμᾶς ὁ Κύριος δείκνυσι λέγων· « Μὴ χαίρετε ὅτι τὰ πνεύματα ὑμῖν ὑπακούεται, ἀλλὰ χαίρετε ὅτι τὰ ὀνόματα ὑμῶν γέγραπται ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ· » ἐπειδὴ τὸ μὲν αὐτοῦ δυνάμει γίνεται, τὸ δὲ ἡμετέρᾳ εὐνοίᾳ καὶ σπουδῇ, δῆλον ὅτι βοηθουμένοις ὑπ' αὐτοῦ. Οὐκ ἐπάναγκες οὖν πάντα πιστὸν δαίμονας ἐκβάλλειν, ἢ νεκροὺς ἀνιστᾷν, ἢ γλώσσαις λαλεῖν· ἀλλὰ τὸν ἀξιωθέντα χαρίσματος ἐπί τινι αἰτίᾳ χρησίμῃ, εἰς σωτηρίαν τῶν ἀπίστων, δυσωπουμένων πολλάκις οὐ τῇ τῶν λόγων ἀποδείξει, ἀλλὰ τῇ τῶν σημείων ἐνεργείᾳ, ἀξίων ὄντων σωτηρίας· οὐδὲ γὰρ πάντες οἱ ἀσεβεῖς ὑπὸ τῶν θαυμάτων ἐντρέπονται· καὶ τούτου μάρτυς
When our God and Saviour Jesus Christ was handing down to us the great mystery of godliness, and was calling both Jews and Greeks to the knowledge of the one and only true God, His Father, as He Himself somewhere says, giving thanks for the salvation of those who had believed: "I have manifested Thy name to men; the work which Thou gavest Me I have finished;" and saying of us to the Father: "Holy Father, even though the world has not known Thee, yet I have known Thee, and these have known Thee;" with good reason, as to us who had been made perfect, He says to all together, concerning the gifts given from Him through the Spirit: "And signs for those who have believed: these shall follow; in My name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall be well." These gifts were first given to us the apostles, when we were about to proclaim the Gospel to the whole creation; and then were of necessity supplied to those who believed through us; not for the benefit of those who work them, but for the assent of the unbelievers, so that those whom the word did not persuade, the power of the signs might put to shame; for the signs are not for us the faithful, but for the unbelievers, both of the Jews and of the Greeks; for neither is the casting out of demons our gain, but that of those who are cleansed by the working of the Lord; as the Lord Himself somewhere, instructing us, shows, saying: "Do not rejoice that the spirits obey you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven;" since the one comes about by His power, but the other by our good will and zeal, plainly as we are helped by Him. It is not therefore necessary that every believer cast out demons, or raise the dead, or speak with tongues; but he who has been deemed worthy of a gift for some useful cause, for the salvation of the unbelievers, who are often put to shame not by the demonstration of words but by the working of the signs, they being worthy of salvation; for not even all the ungodly are turned by the wonders; and of this the witness

Jannes and Jambres. In the manuscript Nicon, in the Pandect, discourse 43, where he cites this passage under the title "From the Constitutions of the holy apostles, through Clement, on spiritual gifts," the reading is Ἰαννῆς καὶ Ἰαμβρῆς. The authors, Hebrew, Greek and Latin, certainly pronounce and write the names of those magicians with great variety, in about these ways: Joanne, Janne and Mamre, Jamre. Ἰαννής, Ἰάννης, Ἰαννῆς, Ἰαννίς, Ἰωάννης, Ἰάμνης, and Ἰαμβρής, Ἰάμβρης, Ἰαμβρῆς, Ἰαμβρίς, Μαμβρής with the same accents, Μαμβρίς, and in Glycas Ζαμβρῆς, the first letter M having perhaps been turned over and so changed into Z. Jannes, Jamnes, Joannes, and Mambres, Jambres. Perhaps the opening of the Conflict of Arnobius with Serapion should be emended: "The Egyptians coming upon them, who, to show themselves disciples of the ancient masters of their province, namely of Jannes and Mambres" (Jannis et Mambris, not Jannes Mambres), "whom the Apostle records to have withstood Moses the servant of God with certain sorceries," etc. Cotelerius.

αὐτὸς ὁ Θεὸς, ὡς ὅταν λέγῃ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ· « Ὅτι ἐν ἑτερογλώσσοις λαλήσω τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ, καὶ ἐν χείλεσιν ἑτέροις, καὶ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσωσιν. » Οὔτε γὰρ οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι ἐπίστευσαν τῷ Θεῷ, Μωϋσέως τοσαῦτα σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα πεποιηκότος· οὔτε τὰ πλήθη τῶν Ἰουδαίων τῷ ὡς Μωϋσεῖ Χριστῷ, πᾶσαν νόσον καὶ πᾶσαν μαλακίαν ἐν αὐτοῖς θεραπεύσαντι· καὶ οὔτε ἐκείνους ἐδυσώπησε ῥάβδος ἐμψυχουμένη εἰς ὄφιν, καὶ χεὶρ λευκαινομένη, καὶ Νεῖλος αἱματούμενος· οὔτε τούτους τυφλοὶ ἀναβλέποντες, καὶ χωλοὶ περιπατοῦντες, καὶ νεκροὶ ἀνιστάμενοι, καὶ τῷ μὲν ἀνθίσταντο Ἰαννὴς καὶ Μαμβρής· τῷ δὲ Ἄννας καὶ Καϊάφας· οὕτως οὐ πάντας δυσωπεῖ τὰ σημεῖα, ἀλλὰ μόνους τοὺς εὐγνώμονας, ὧν καὶ χάριν ⟨εὐ⟩δοκεῖ ὁ Θεὸς ἐπιτελεῖσθαι δυνάμεις, ὡς σοφὸς οἰκονόμος· οὐ τῇ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἰσχύϊ, ἀλλὰ τῇ ἑαυτοῦ βουλήσει. Ταῦτα δέ φαμεν, ἐπὶ τὸ μὴ ἐπαίρεσθαι τοὺς λαβόντας χαρίσματα τοιάδε, κατὰ τῶν μὴ λαβόντων· χαρίσματα δὲ λέγομεν, τὰ διὰ τῶν σημείων· ἐπεὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἄνθρωπος πιστεύσας διὰ Χριστοῦ εἰς τὸν Θεὸν, ὃς οὐκ εἴληφε χάρισμα πνευματικόν· αὐτό τε γὰρ τὸ ἀπαλλαγῆναι πολυθέου ἀσεβείας, καὶ πιστεῦσαι Θεῷ Πατρὶ διὰ Χριστοῦ, χάρισμά ἐστι Θεοῦ· τό τε ἀποῤῥίψαι τὸ Ἰουδαϊκὸν κάλυμμα, καὶ πιστεῦσαι ὅτι εὐδοκίᾳ Θεοῦ ὁ πρὸ αἰώνων Μονογενὴς, ἐν ὑστέρῳ καιρῷ ἐκ παρθένου γεγένηται, δίχα ὁμιλίας ἀνδρός· καὶ ὅτι ἐπολιτεύσατο ὡς ἄνθρωπος ἄνευ ἁμαρτίας, πληρώσας πᾶσαν δικαιοσύνην τὴν τοῦ νόμου· καὶ ὅτι συγχωρήσει Θεοῦ σταυρὸν ὑπέμεινεν, αἰσχύνης καταφρονήσας ὁ Θεὸς Λόγος· καὶ ὅτι ἀπέθανε, καὶ ἐτάφη, καὶ ἀνέστη διὰ τριῶν ἡμερῶν, καὶ μετὰ τὴν ἀνάστασιν τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας παραμείνας τοῖς ἀποστόλοις, καὶ πληρώσας πᾶσαν διάταξιν ἀνελήφθη ἐπ' ὄψεσιν αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸν ἀποστείλαντα αὐτὸν Θεὸν καὶ Πατέρα. Ὁ ταῦτα πιστεύσας, οὐχ ἁπλῶς, οὐδὲ ἀλόγως, ἀλλὰ κρίσει καὶ πληροφορίᾳ, χάρισμα εἴληφεν ἐκ Θεοῦ· ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ ὁ πάσης αἱρέσεως ἀπαλλαγείς. Μὴ οὖν τις τῶν ποιούντων σημεῖα, καὶ τέρατα, κρινέτω τινὰ τῶν πιστῶν μὴ ἀξιωθέντα ἐνεργεῖν· διάφορα γάρ ἐστι τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ χαρίσματα, παρ' αὐτοῦ διὰ Χριστοῦ διδόμενα· καὶ σὺ μὲν εἴληφας τοῦτο· ἐκεῖνος δὲ ἄλλο τι· ἢ γὰρ λόγον σοφίας, ἢ γνώσεως, ἢ διακρίσεως πνευμάτων, ἢ πρόγνωσιν τῶν μελλόντων, ἢ λόγον διδακτικὸν, ἢ ἀνεξικακίαν
God Himself, as when He says in the law: "For in other tongues will I speak to this people, and with other lips, and they will not believe." For neither did the Egyptians believe God, though Moses had worked so many signs and wonders; nor did the multitudes of the Jews believe Christ, Who was as Moses, though He healed every disease and every infirmity among them; and neither were the former put to shame by a rod made a living serpent, and a hand turned white, and the Nile turned to blood; nor the latter by the blind receiving sight, and the lame walking, and the dead rising; and the one was withstood by Jannes and Mambres, the other by Annas and Caiaphas. Thus the signs do not shame all, but only the well-disposed, for whose sake also God is pleased that mighty works be accomplished, as a wise steward; not by the strength of men, but by His own will. Now we say these things so that those who have received such gifts may not exalt themselves against those who have not received them; and by gifts we mean those that come through signs; since there is no man who has believed through Christ in God who has not received a spiritual gift. For the very fact of being delivered from the impiety of many gods, and of believing God the Father through Christ, is a gift of God; and so is the casting off of the Jewish veil, and the believing that by the good pleasure of God the Only-begotten, Who is before the ages, was in the last time born of a virgin, without intercourse of a man; and that He lived as a man without sin, fulfilling all the righteousness of the law; and that by God's permission God the Word endured the cross, despising the shame; and that He died, and was buried, and rose again after three days, and after the resurrection remained forty days with the apostles, and having fulfilled every ordinance was taken up before their eyes to the God and Father Who sent Him. He who has believed these things, not simply nor without reason, but with judgement and full assurance, has received a gift from God; and likewise also he who has been delivered from every heresy. Let not therefore any one of those who work signs and wonders judge any of the faithful who has not been counted worthy to work them; for the gifts of God are diverse, given by Him through Christ; and you have received this one, and that man some other: either a word of wisdom, or of knowledge, or of discernment of spirits, or foreknowledge of things to come, or a word of teaching, or patience under wrongs

Ἀλλ' οὔτε ὁ τοῦ Ναυῆ Ἰησοῦς, ἡγησάμενος μετ' αὐτὸν τοῦ λαοῦ, κἂν τῷ πρὸς τοὺς Ἰεβουσίους πολέμῳ στήσας τὸν ἥλιον κατὰ Γαβαὼν, καὶ τὴν σελήνην κατὰ φάραγγα Αἰλὼν, διὰ τὸ μὴ αὐταρκεῖν πρὸς τὴν νίκην τὴν ἡμέραν, ἐπήρθη κατὰ τοῦ Φινεὲς, ἢ τοῦ Χαλέβ.

Ἀλλὰ γὰρ οὔτε Δανιὴλ ὁ σοφὸς, ῥυσθεὶς δεύτερον ἐκ στόματος λεόντων, οὔτε οἱ τρεῖς παῖδες ἐκ καμίνου πυρὸς, ἐξουδένωσαν τοὺς λοιποὺς τῶν ὁμοφύλων.

Οὐκοῦν μηδεὶς ὑμῶν ἐπαιρέσθω κατὰ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ, κἂν προφήτης ᾖ, κἂν θαυματοποιός. Εἰ γὰρ δοθῇ μηκέτι εἶναί που ἄπιστον, περιττὴ λοιπὸν ἔσται πᾶσα σημείων ἐνέργεια. Τὸ μὲν γὰρ εἶναι εὐσεβῆ, ἐκ τῆς τοῦ τινος εὐνοίας· τὸ δὲ θαυματοποιεῖν, ἐκ τῆς τοῦ ἐνεργοῦντος δυνάμεως· ὧν τὸ μὲν πρῶτον ἡμᾶς αὐτοὺς ὁρᾷ, τὸ δὲ δεύτερον Θεὸν τὸν ἐνεργοῦντα, δι' ἃς προείπομεν αἰτίας. Οὐκοῦν μήτε βασιλεὺς ἐξουθενείτω τοὺς ὑπ' αὐτὸν στρατηγούς· μήτε ἄρχοντες τοὺς ὑπηκόους. Μὴ ὄντων γὰρ τῶν ἀρχομένων, περιττοὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες· καὶ μὴ ὄντων στρατηγῶν, οὐ στήσεται βασιλεία. Ἀλλὰ μηδὲ ἐπίσκοπος ἐπαιρέσθω κατὰ τῶν διακόνων, ἢ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων· μήτε μὴν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι κατὰ τοῦ λαοῦ· ἐξ ἀλλήλων γάρ ἐστιν ἡ σύστασις τοῦ συναθροίσματος. Οἵ τε γὰρ ἐπίσκοποι, καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι, τινῶν εἰσιν ἱερεῖς· καὶ οἱ λαϊκοὶ, τινῶν εἰσι λαϊκοί· καὶ τὸ μὲν εἶναι Χριστιανὸν, ἐφ' ἡμῖν· τὸ δὲ ἀπόστολον, ἢ ἐπίσκοπον, ἢ ἄλλο τι, οὐκ ἐφ' ἡμῖν, ἀλλ' ἐπὶ τῷ διδόντι Θεῷ τὰ χαρίσματα. Ταῦτα μὲν οὖν ἐπὶ τοσοῦτον εἰρήσθω διὰ τοὺς ἀξιωθέντας χαρισμάτων ἢ ἀξιωμάτων.
or lawful continence. For indeed Moses, the man of God, when he was accomplishing the signs in Egypt, did not exalt himself against his own kinsmen; and though called a god, he did not vaunt himself against his own prophet Aaron. Nor yet did Jesus the son of Nave, who led the people after him, although in the war against the Jebusites he made the sun stand still over Gabaon and the moon over the valley of Ailon, because the day did not suffice for the victory, exalt himself against Phinees or Caleb. Nor did Samuel, who did so many marvellous things, hold David the beloved of God as of no account; and yet both were prophets, and the one a high priest, the other a king. And though there were seven thousand holy men in Israel who had not bent the knee to Baal, Elias alone among them, and his disciple Elisha, became workers of wonders; yet neither did Elias mock the steward Abdias, who feared God indeed but worked no signs, nor did Elisha look down on his own disciple when he trembled at the enemy. Nor indeed did Daniel the wise, delivered a second time from the mouth of lions, nor the three children delivered from the furnace of fire, set at nought the rest of their kinsmen. For they knew that it was not by their own power that they overcame those terrors, but that by the strength of God they both accomplished signs and were delivered from hardships. Let none of you therefore exalt himself against his brother, though he be a prophet, though he be a worker of wonders. For if it be granted that there is no longer any unbeliever anywhere, all working of signs will thereafter be superfluous. For to be godly comes from a man's own good disposition, but to work wonders from the power of Him Who works them; of which the first regards ourselves, and the second God Who works, for the reasons we have already stated. Therefore let neither a king set at nought the generals under him, nor rulers their subjects. For if there are none who are ruled, rulers are superfluous; and if there are no generals, the kingdom will not stand. But neither let a bishop exalt himself against the deacons or the presbyters, nor yet the presbyters against the people; for the constitution of the assembly is from one another. For the bishops and the presbyters are priests of certain persons, and the laymen are laymen of certain persons; and to be a Christian is in our own power, but to be an apostle, or a bishop, or anything else, is not in our power, but in that of God Who gives the gifts. Let so much, then, be said on account of those who have been counted worthy of gifts or of dignities.

Οὔτε ἐπίσκοπος, etc. Hunc locum indicat magis quam citat auctor Operis imperfecti in Matthaeum, relatus in testimoniis veterum. Quid porro frequentius apud omnis generis scriptores, quam eos qui indigne in aliqua vivunt dignitate, nomine honorifico privare? Nonne solemus flagitiosum hominem negare hominem esse? similiterque loquimur de malis Christianis, aut monachis, aut clericis, etc. Athanasius : Οἱ παρ' αὐτοῖς κατάσκοποι, οὐ γὰρ ἐπίσκοποι. Et alibi : Κακοήθεις κατασκόπους· οὐ γὰρ ἄν τις ἐπισκόπους εἴποι. Hieronymus : Non omnes episcopi, episcopi sunt, interpositisque nonnullis : Non facit ecclesiastica dignitas Christianum. Ac eadem ratione, ut innumeros omittam, negatur a Nilo sacerdos esse, qui pro sacerdotis dignitate non vivit. ID.

Neither a bishop, etc. The author of the Opus imperfectum in Matthaeum, reported among the testimonies of the ancients, points to this passage rather than cites it. And what is more frequent among writers of every kind than to strip of the title of honour those who live unworthily in some dignity? Are we not accustomed to deny that a scandalous man is a man? And we speak in the same way of bad Christians, or monks, or clerics, etc. Athanasius: "The spies (κατάσκοποι) among them, for they are not bishops (ἐπίσκοποι)." And elsewhere: "Malicious spies; for no one would call them bishops." Jerome: "Not all bishops are bishops," and, after some words between: "Ecclesiastical dignity does not make a Christian." And on the same reasoning, to pass over countless others, Nilus denies that he is a priest who does not live in keeping with a priest's dignity. The same.

ὅσιος· οὔτε πᾶς ὁ δαίμονας ἐλαύνων, ἅγιος. Καὶ γὰρ καὶ Βαλαὰμ ὁ τοῦ Βεὼρ ὁ μάντις προεφήτευσεν, δυσσεβὴς ὤν· καὶ Καϊάφας, ὁ ψευδώνυμος ἀρχιερεύς· πολλὰ δὲ καὶ ὁ διάβολος προλέγει, καὶ οἱ ἀμφ' αὐτὸν δαίμονες· καὶ οὐ παρὰ τοῦτο μὲν ἔστιν αὐτοῖς εὐσεβείας σπινθήρ· ἀγνοίᾳ γάρ εἰσι πεπιεσμένοι δι' ἑκούσιον μοχθηρίαν. Δῆλον οὖν ὅτι οἱ ἀσεβεῖς κἂν προφητεύωσιν, οὐ καλύπτουσι διὰ τῆς προφητείας τὴν ἑαυτῶν ἀσέβειαν· οὐδὲ οἱ δαίμονας ἐλαύνοντες, ἐκ τῆς τούτων ὑποχωρήσεως ὁσιωθήσονται· ἀλλήλους γὰρ ἀπατῶσι· καθάπερ οἱ τὰς παιδιὰς γέλωτος ἕνεκα ἐπιδεικνύμενοι· καὶ τοὺς προσανέχοντας αὐτοῖς, ἀπολλύουσιν. Οὔτε δὲ βασιλεὺς δυσσεβὴς, ἔτι βασιλεὺς ὑπάρχει, ἀλλὰ τύραννος· οὔτε ἐπίσκοπος ἀγνοίᾳ ἢ κακονοίᾳ πεπιεσμένος, ἐπίσκοπός ἐστιν, ἀλλὰ ψευδώνυμος, οὐ παρὰ Θεοῦ, ἀλλὰ παρὰ ἀνθρώπων προβληθείς· ὡς Ἀνανίας, καὶ Σαμαίας ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ Σεδεκίας καὶ Ἀχίας οἱ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι ψευδοπροφῆται. Ἀλλὰ καὶ Βαλαὰμ ὁ μάντις τιμωρίαν ἔτισε διαφθείρας τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ Βεελφεγώρ· καὶ Καϊάφας ὕστερον αὐτοφονευτὴς ἑαυτοῦ ἐγένετο· καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Σκευᾶ ἐπιχειροῦντες δαίμονας ἐλαύνειν, ὑπ' αὐτῶν τραυματίαι γενόμενοι, ἔφυγον ἀπρεπῶς· καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ τοῦ Ἰούδα ἀσεβήσαντες, παντοίας τιμωρίας ἔτισαν. Δῆλον οὖν ὡς καὶ οἱ ψευδώνυμοι ἐπίσκοποι, καὶ πρεσβύτεροι, οὐκ ἐκφεύξονται τὴν παρὰ Θεοῦ δίκην· ῥηθήσεται γὰρ αὐτοῖς καὶ νῦν· « Ὑμεῖς οἱ ἱερεῖς, οἱ φαυλίζοντές μου τὸ ὄνομα· παραδώσω ὑμᾶς εἰς σφαγήν· ὡς Σεδεκίαν, καὶ Ἀχίαν, οὓς ἀπετηγάνισε βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος, » ὥς φησιν Ἱερεμίας ὁ προφήτης. Ταῦτα δέ φαμεν, οὐ τὰς ἀληθεῖς προφητείας ἐξουθενοῦντες, ἴσμεν γὰρ αὐτὰς κατ' ἐπίπνοιαν Θεοῦ ἐν τοῖς ὁσίοις ἐνεργεῖσθαι, ἀλλὰ τὸ θράσος τῶν ἀλαζονευομένων καταστέλλοντες· καὶ προστιθέντες ἐκεῖνο, ὅτι τῶν τοιούτων Θεὸς περιαιρεῖ τὴν χάριν· « Ὑπερηφάνοις γὰρ ὁ Θεὸς ἀντιτάσσεται, ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσι χάριν. » Σίλας μὲν οὖν καὶ Ἄγαβος ἐφ' ἡμῶν προφητεύσαντες, οὐ παρεξέτειναν ἑαυτοὺς τοῖς ἀποστόλοις, οὐδὲ ὑπερέβησαν τὰ ἑαυτῶν μέτρα, καί τοι
is devout, nor is every one who drives out demons holy. For indeed Balaam the son of Beor, the soothsayer, prophesied, though he was ungodly; and so did Caiaphas, the falsely named high priest; and the devil also foretells many things, and the demons about him; and yet not on that account is there in them a spark of godliness, for they are weighed down by ignorance through wilful wickedness. It is plain therefore that the impious, even if they prophesy, do not cover their own impiety by their prophecy; nor will those who drive out demons be made holy by the withdrawal of these; for they deceive one another, like those who put on shows for the sake of laughter, and they destroy those who give heed to them. Nor is an ungodly king any longer a king, but a tyrant; nor is a bishop weighed down by ignorance or ill will a bishop, but falsely so named, put forward not by God but by men; as were Ananias and Samaias in Jerusalem, and Sedekias and Achias the false prophets in Babylon. But Balaam the soothsayer also paid the penalty for having corrupted Israel at Beelphegor; and Caiaphas afterwards became his own murderer; and the sons of Sceva, attempting to drive out demons, were wounded by them and fled in disgrace; and the kings of Israel and of Judah who acted impiously paid penalties of every kind. It is plain therefore that the falsely named bishops and presbyters too will not escape the judgement that comes from God; for it will be said to them even now: "You priests, who make light of My name: I will deliver you to slaughter, like Sedekias and Achias, whom the king of Babylon roasted," as Jeremias the prophet says. Now we say these things not as setting at nought true prophecies, for we know that they are wrought in the devout by the inspiration of God, but to put down the boldness of the boastful; and adding this, that from such men God takes away His grace: "For God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." Silas, then, and Agabus, who prophesied in our time, did not put themselves on a level with the apostles, nor overstep their own measure, although

being beloved of God. And women also prophesied: of old, Mariam the sister of Moses and Aaron; and after her Debbora; and after these Olda and Judith, the one under Josias, the other under Darius. And the mother of the Lord also prophesied, and Elisabeth her kinswoman, and Anna; and in our time the daughters of Philip. Yet these did not exalt themselves against the men, but kept their own measure. Therefore among you also, whether it be a man or a woman who obtains some such grace, let that person be humble-minded, that God may be well pleased with him: "For upon whom," He says, "shall I look, but upon him who is humble and quiet, and trembles at My words?"

Ὅτι τὸ διατάσσεσθαι τὰ ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις ἐπιτελούμενα κορυφαιότατόν ἐστι.
That to set in order the things performed in the churches is of the very highest importance.
Τὰ μὲν οὖν πρῶτα τοῦ λόγου ἐξεθέμεθα, περὶ τῶν χαρισμάτων, ὅσαπερ ὁ Θεὸς κατ' ἰδίαν βούλησιν παρέσχεν ἀνθρώποις· καὶ ὅπως τῶν ψευδῆ ἐπιχειρούντων λέγειν, ἢ ἀλλοτρίῳ πνεύματι κινουμένων, ἤλεγξε τὸν τρόπον· καὶ ὅτι πονηροῖς πολλάκις ἀπεχαρίσατο ὁ Θεὸς πρός τε προφητείαν καὶ τερατοποιίαν. Νυνὶ δὲ ἐπὶ τὸ κορυφαιότατον τῆς ἐκκλησιαστικῆς διατυπώσεως ὁ λόγος ἡμᾶς ἐπείγει· ὅπως καὶ ταύτην παρ' ἡμῶν μαθόντες τὴν διάταξιν, οἱ ταχθέντες δι' ἡμῶν γνώμῃ Χριστοῦ ἐπίσκοποι, πάντα κατὰ τὰς παραδοθείσας ἡμῖν ἐντολὰς ποιῆσθε· εἰδότες ὅτι ὁ ἡμῶν ἀκούων, Χριστοῦ ἀκούει· ὁ δὲ Χριστοῦ ἀκούων, τοῦ Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ Πατρὸς ἀκούει· ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. Ἀμήν.
The first part of our discourse, then, we have set forth, concerning the gifts, as many as God by His own will has bestowed on men; and how He has exposed the manner of those who attempt to speak falsehoods, or who are moved by an alien spirit; and that God has often granted favour to wicked men for both prophecy and the working of wonders. But now our discourse presses us on to the chief point of the ecclesiastical order; so that you, the bishops appointed through us by the mind of Christ, having learned this ordinance also from us, may do all things according to the commandments delivered to us; knowing that he who hears us hears Christ, and he who hears Christ hears His God and Father; to Whom be the glory unto the ages.

Ἐπὶ Δαρείου. Huc specialiter, in difficili multumque ac varie agitata quaestione chronologica, pertinet ingens error Cedreni, ubi de Judithae temporibus ac historia, quod Cambyses Cyri filius Darius etiam appellatus fuerit. Ideo quippe ita confinxisse videtur, ut sententiam apostolici Constitutoris conciliaret cum Julii Africani opinione. Eusebius : Καμβύσην τινές φασι εἶναι Ναβουχοδονόσορ δεύτερον, τὸν κατὰ Ὀλοφέρνην καὶ τὴν Ἰουδίθ. Ὥσπερ Ἀφρικανός. Eademque Georgius Syncellus ; ex quibus emaculabis Suidam in voce Ἰουδίθ, ad hunc modum : Ἰούλιος δὲ Ἀφρικανὸς λέγει, ὅτι Ναβουχοδονόσορ ὁ Καμβύσης (vel ὁ καὶ Καμβύσης) (male vulgo ὁ Καμβύσου) ἀναιρεῖται ὑπ' αὐτῆς. Atque ita veteres codices Regii. COT.

Under Darius. To this point in particular, in a chronological question that is difficult and has been much and variously debated, belongs the huge error of Cedrenus, where he treats of the times and history of Judith: that Cambyses the son of Cyrus was also called Darius. For he seems to have invented this in order to reconcile the statement of the apostolic Constitutor with the opinion of Julius Africanus. Eusebius: "Some say that Cambyses is the second Nabuchodonosor, the one of the time of Holofernes and Judith. So Africanus." And George Syncellus says the same; from these you will clear the blemish from Suidas under the word "Judith," in this way: "Julius Africanus says that Nabuchodonosor who is Cambyses" (or "who is also Cambyses"; the common reading "the son of Cambyses" is wrong) "is slain by her." And so the old Royal codices. Cotelerius.

Ἐν ἡμέρᾳ Κυριακῇ. In tritis et vulgatis non est immorandum. Itaque proponam solummodo corruptum canonem concilii Caesaraugustani tertii, ut emendem. Legitur : In sanctum et satis venerabile concilium residentibus nuntiatum est nobis, eo quod aliqui pontifices regulam veritatis praetermittentes, ecclesias quae a fidelibus pia devotione construuntur, extra diebus Dominicis consecrent. Si ergo cum quisque nostrum mortalium ad sacerdotale promovetur officium, nullatenus patimur ut in reliquis diebus, nisi tantum Dominicis festivitatibus, ii qui honoris digni habentur officio, in ordine praeficiantur ecclesiastico, quanto magis ut deificata sancta templa, quae ab hominibus fidelibus censentur honorificanda, sine diebus Dominicis perhibeantur consecranda? cujusque non talium praesumptiones pontificum, non solum sanctorum Patrum cohiberemur prohibere sententiam, sed propria deliberatione censemus, ut nulli penitus pontificum, in quibuscunque provinciis constitutis, amodo liceat, praeter certis diebus Dominicis, ecclesias sanctas consecrare. Scribi debet : Cujusque nos talium praesumptiones pontificum, non solum sanctorum Patrum cohibemur prohibere sententia; sed propria deliberatione censemus, ut nulli penitus, etc. COT.

On the Lord's day. There is no need to linger over what is well worn and commonly known. So I shall set out only a corrupt canon of the third council of Saragossa, in order to emend it. It reads: "As we sat in the holy and most venerable council it was reported to us that some bishops, passing over the rule of truth, consecrate churches, which are built by the faithful with pious devotion, outside the Lord's days. If therefore, when any one of us mortals is promoted to the priestly office, we in no way allow that those who are held worthy of the office of honour be set in the ecclesiastical order on other days, but only on the Lord's-day feasts, how much more that the hallowed holy temples, which are judged by faithful men to be worthy of honour, should be declared for consecration apart from the Lord's days?" [then, as corruptly printed:] "cujusque non talium praesumptiones pontificum, non solum sanctorum Patrum cohiberemur prohibere sententiam, but by our own deliberation we decree that it be allowed to none at all of the bishops, in whatever provinces they are placed, from now on to consecrate holy churches except on fixed Lord's days." It ought to be written: "Wherefore we are bound to forbid the presumptions of such bishops not only by the sentence of the holy Fathers; but by our own deliberation we decree that to none at all," etc. Cotelerius.

Καὶ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων καὶ λειτουργικῶν πνευμάτων. Etenim, juxta sententiam SS. Patrum, angelis plenae sunt ecclesiae, praesertim tempore divini officii, et in solemnitatibus : quos inter principem obtinent locum angeli praesides ac patroni ecclesiarum, angeli altaribus assistentes atque praesidentes. Insigniter Tertullianus De pudicitia, cap. 14 : Lusit igitur et de suo spiritu et de Ecclesiae Angelo, etc. Origenes homil. 11, in Numeros: Offerunt et angeli primitias, unusquisque credo gentis suae, et rursum unusquisque Ecclesiae suae, et reliqua, quae lege, si vacat; homil. 20 : Secundum ea quae Joannes in Apocalypsi scribit, unicuique Ecclesiae generaliter angelus praeest. Homilia 13 in Lucam binos episcopos singulis ecclesiis praeponit, visibilem ac invisibilem, hominem atque angelum. Mitto alia loca, alios auctores. Adjungo duntaxat gemella Basilii et Palladii : illius, epist. 191 : Καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἔφορος συναπῆλθεν ὑμῖν; hujus, in Vita Chrysostomi : Egressus est cum illo angelus quoque ecclesiae. Jam de angelis altarium, praeter Pratum spirituale cap. 4, testatur S. Epiphanius haeresi 25, cap. 3, hisce verbis : Ἀπὸ τῆς τοῦ ἁγίου Ἰωάννου Ἀποκαλύψεως, ὃς γράφων μιᾷ τῶν Ἐκκλησιῶν ἐκ προσώπου Κυρίου, τουτέστι τῷ ἐπισκόπῳ τῷ ἐκεῖσε κατασταθέντι, σὺν τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ ἁγίου ἀγγέλου τοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, φησίν. Et sancti Joannis Apocalypsi; qui ad unam ecclesiarum ex Domini persona scribens, id est, ad episcopum illic constitutum, cum angeli sancti virtute qui est super altare, ait : De templo Hierosolymitano ista B. Hilarii sunt in Matthaeum canone ult. : Velum templi scinditur ; quia exinde populus est divisus in partes, et veli honor cum custodia angeli protegentis aufertur. Auctoris vero sermonis 3, in Dominicam Ascensionem, apud Chrysostomum, tom. VI : Ἄγγελος ἐξήλατο τεταραγμένος ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ, περιεσχισμένου τοῦ καταπετάσματος τοῦ οἴκου. Angelus e templo, conscisso velo aedis, territus exsiluit. ID.

And of all the holy and ministering spirits. For, according to the judgement of the holy Fathers, the churches are full of angels, especially at the time of the divine office and on solemnities; among whom the chief place is held by the angels who preside over and protect the churches, and the angels who stand by and preside over the altars. Notably Tertullian, On Modesty, ch. 14: "He played therefore both upon his own spirit and upon the Angel of the Church," etc. Origen, homily 11 on Numbers: "The angels too offer first-fruits, each one, I believe, of his own nation, and again each one of his own Church," and the rest, which read if you have leisure; homily 20: "According to what John writes in the Apocalypse, an angel is in general set over each Church." Homily 13 on Luke sets two bishops over each church, a visible and an invisible, a man and an angel. I pass over other places and other authors. I add only the twin sayings of Basil and Palladius: the former, letter 191: "And the angel who is overseer of the church departed together with you"; the latter, in the Life of Chrysostom: "The angel of the church too went out with him." Now of the angels of the altars, besides the Spiritual Meadow, ch. 4, St. Epiphanius bears witness in heresy 25, ch. 3, in these words: "From the Apocalypse of holy John, who, writing to one of the Churches in the person of the Lord, that is, to the bishop appointed there, together with the power of the holy angel who is over the altar, says." And from the Apocalypse of holy John; who, writing to one of the churches in the person of the Lord, that is, to the bishop appointed there, with the power of the holy angel who is over the altar, says: Of the temple of Jerusalem there are these words of blessed Hilary on Matthew, last canon: "The veil of the temple is rent; because from then on the people was divided into parties, and the honour of the veil is taken away together with the guardianship of the protecting angel." And of the author of sermon 3 on the Lord's Ascension, in Chrysostom, vol. VI: "An angel leapt out in alarm from the temple, when the veil of the house was rent asunder." An angel leapt out in terror from the temple, the veil of the house being rent. The same.

and has been approved, let the people, having come together with the presbytery and the bishops who are present, on the Lord's day, give their joint consent. And let the one who is foremost among the rest ask the presbytery and the people whether this is the man whom they request for a ruler; and when they have signified assent, let him ask further whether he is witnessed by all to be worthy of this great and illustrious governance, whether the things pertaining to his piety towards God have been rightly accomplished, whether the things that are just towards men have been observed, whether the affairs of his household have been well ordered, whether the things of his life are without reproach. And when all together have borne witness according to truth, and not according to prejudice, that he is such a man, as before God the judge and Christ, the Holy Spirit also evidently being present, and all the holy and ministering spirits, let them inquire again a third time whether he is truly worthy of the ministry, so that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established (Matt. 18:16); and when they have agreed a third time that he is worthy, let a token of assent be required of them all; and when they have given it readily, let them be heard. And when silence has been made, let one of the first bishops, together with two others, standing near the altar, while the remaining bishops and presbyters pray in silence, and the deacons hold the divine Gospels opened upon the head of the one being ordained, say to God:

Thou Who hast given rules to the Church, through the coming of Thy Christ in the flesh, with the Paraclete as witness, through Thine apostles and through us the bishops who by Thy grace stand here; Who from the beginning didst foreordain priests for the oversight of Thy people, Abel among the first, Seth, and Enos, and Enoch, and Noah, and Melchizedek, and Job; Who didst appoint Abraham and the other patriarchs, together with Thy faithful servants Moses and Aaron, and Eleazar and Phinehas; Who from among them didst choose rulers and priests in the tabernacle of the testimony; Who didst choose Samuel for priest and prophet; Who didst not leave Thy sanctuary without ministry; Who wast well pleased to be glorified in those whom Thou didst choose. Do Thou Thyself now also, by the mediation of Thy Christ, pour out through us the power of Thy governing Spirit, which ministers to Thy beloved Servant Jesus Christ, which He bestowed, by Thy will, upon Thy holy apostles, Thou the eternal God. Grant in Thy name, O God Who knowest the heart, upon this Thy servant, whom Thou hast chosen for a bishop, that he may shepherd Thy holy flock and serve Thee as high priest, ministering blamelessly by night and by day, and, propitiating Thy countenance, may gather together the number of those who are being saved, and offer to Thee the gifts of Thy holy Church. Grant him, Master Almighty, through Thy Christ, the participation of the Holy Spirit, so that he may have authority to remit sins according to Thy commandment, to assign lots according to Thine ordinance, and to loose every bond according to the authority which Thou gavest to the apostles; and that he may be well pleasing to Thee in meekness and a pure heart, unchangeably, blamelessly, irreproachably, offering to Thee a pure and bloodless sacrifice, which through Christ Thou didst appoint, the mystery of the New Covenant, for an odour of sweet fragrance, through Thy holy Servant Jesus Christ, our God and Saviour

Εἷς τῶν ἐπισκόπων ἀναφερέτω, etc. Aliquatenus similia continent ordinationes presbyterorum Graecae, et episcoporum ac presbyterorum Latinae. Lege Fulberti epistolam 2, quae est ad Finardum ; ac si in ms. codicem illius Patris incideris, vide in isto loco depravato : Ad hoc episcopi responsum, cum ego familiaritatis ausu studiosus perquirerem, num idem mysterium supplere potuisset panis a presbytero quotidiana celebratione sacratus, uti in eo passionis Dominicae et resuscitati corporis et manifestati discipulis speciem, satisfuisset nobis, Perpende, ait, etc.; vide, inquam, scriptum ne sit pro satisfuisset, satisfecit, uti suspicor emendandum. Sed et absque ms. fidenter ita constitue ac restitue Epistolae finem : Haec pauca de multis, quae repetita memoria, et multo ex tempore dissuta licet, recitasse ad praesens sufficiat, dum ego codicem de ejusmodi exemplaribus a Romano scrinio prolatum perlegam. Vobis facile est de paucis multa cogitare, aut certe quod irrationabiliter factum videtur, sanioris consilii ratione corrigere. ID.

Let one of the bishops offer up, etc. The Greek ordinations of presbyters, and the Latin ones of bishops and presbyters, contain things in some measure similar. Read Fulbert's letter 2, which is to Finardus; and if you should come upon a manuscript codex of that Father, look at this corrupt passage: "At this reply of the bishop, when I, emboldened by familiarity, eagerly inquired whether bread consecrated by a presbyter at the daily celebration could have supplied the same mystery, so that in it [we might have] the likeness of the Lord's passion and of the body raised up and shown to the disciples, satisfuisset nobis, 'Weigh,' he says," etc.; look, I say, whether "satisfecit" ("he satisfied us") is not written in place of "satisfuisset," as I suspect it should be emended. And even without a manuscript, confidently settle and restore the end of the Letter thus: "Let it suffice for the present to have recited these few things out of many, though recalled from memory and unstitched by long lapse of time, until I read through the codex of such exemplars brought out from the Roman archive. It is easy for you to think out many things from a few, or at least to correct by the reasoning of sounder counsel what seems to have been done unreasonably." The same.

Ὁ διάκονος ἐφ' ὑψηλοῦ, etc. Et cap. 12 : Ἵν' εὐθὺς ὁ διάκονος λέγῃ· Μή τις τῶν κατηχουμένων· Μή τις τῶν ἀκροωμένων· Μή τις τῶν ἀπίστων· Μή τις τῶν ἑτεροδόξων. Apud Chrysostomum Homilia de filio prodigo : Τῶν λειτουργῶν τῆς θείας ἱερουργίας, ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ περιτρεχόντων καὶ βοώντων· Μή τις τῶν κατηχουμένων, etc., supra ad cap. 54, lib. ii. Vox autem ἀκροώμενοι, ex usu scriptorum ecclesiasticorum, significat tum omnes eos quibus placebat verbum Dei lectum vel praedicatum in ecclesia audire, nec licebat mysteriis interesse : tum catechumenos generatim sumptos pro omnibus iis qui Christianam religionem ambiebant, etsi nomen Ecclesiae nondum dedissent ; tum catechumenos proprie dictos, ad quos missa catechumenorum pertinebat ; tum denique poenitentes in auditione, quae est secunda poenitentiae statio, positos. Sed hic in primo sensu acceperim : quemadmodum et canone Laodiceno 5, a Graecis interpretatoribus non intellecto : Περὶ τοῦ μὴ δεῖν τὰς χειροτονίας ἐπὶ παρουσίᾳ ἀκροωμένων γίνεσθαι. Quod non oporteat ordinationes sub conspectu audientium celebrari. Ἀκροωμένους etiam concilii Nicaeni non intellexit Rufinus, suaque versione alios in fraudem egit. Caeterum Latinis auditores et audientes sunt catechumeni, sive perfectiores sive imperfectiores, juxta illud tractatus de non rebaptizandis semel tinctis, quem Rigaltus in Observationibus ad S. Cyprianum edidit, p. 136 : Vel audiens, aut audire incipiens. COT.

The deacon, from a high place, etc. And ch. 12: "That the deacon may at once say: Let none of the catechumens, none of the hearers, none of the unbelievers, none of the heterodox [remain]." In Chrysostom, Homily on the prodigal son: "The ministers of the divine sacred rite running about in the church and crying: Let none of the catechumens," etc.; see above on ch. 54, book II. Now the word ἀκροώμενοι ("hearers"), in the usage of ecclesiastical writers, means, first, all those who were pleased to hear the word of God read or preached in church and were not allowed to be present at the mysteries; next, catechumens taken generally, for all who were seeking the Christian religion even though they had not yet given in their name to the Church; next, catechumens properly so called, to whom the mass of the catechumens belonged; and lastly, penitents placed in "hearing," which is the second station of penance. But here I would take it in the first sense; as also in canon 5 of Laodicea, not understood by the Greek interpreters: "That ordinations ought not to take place in the presence of hearers." That ordinations ought not to be celebrated in the sight of the hearers. The "hearers" of the council of Nicaea, too, Rufinus did not understand, and by his version led others astray. For the rest, among the Latins "auditores" and "audientes" are catechumens, whether more advanced or less, according to that phrase of the treatise on not rebaptizing those once dipped, which Rigaltius published in his Observations on St. Cyprian, p. 136: "Either a hearer, or one beginning to hear." Cotelerius.

And when he has prayed these things, let the rest of the priests add, Amen; and together with them all the people. And after the prayer, let one of the bishops lift up the sacrifice upon the hands of the one who has been ordained; and at dawn let him be enthroned in the place that belongs to him by the rest of the bishops, all of them kissing him with the kiss in the Lord. And after the reading of the law and the prophets, and of our epistles and of the acts and of the gospels, let the one who has been ordained greet the church, saying: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all (2 Cor. 13:13); and let all answer: And with your spirit. And after the greeting, let him address to the people words of exhortation. And when he has completed the word of teaching, I, Andrew the brother of Peter, say: when all have risen, let the deacon, having gone up on some high place, proclaim: "Let none of the hearers, let none of the unbelievers [remain]."

pray for them with attentive mind, saying: Lord, have mercy. And let him do the deacon's office for them, saying: For the catechumens let us all beseech God, that He Who is good, the lover of mankind, may graciously hearken to their supplications and entreaties, and, having accepted their petition, may come to their help, and grant them the requests of their hearts for what is expedient; that He may reveal to them the Gospel of His Christ, enlighten them and give them understanding, instruct them in the knowledge of God, teach them His ordinances and His judgements, implant in them His pure and saving fear, open the ears of their hearts to be occupied in His law day and night, and confirm them in piety, unite them to and number them with His holy flock, counting them worthy of the washing of regeneration, of the garment of incorruption, of the life that truly is; and that He may deliver them from all impiety, and give no place to the adversary against them, and cleanse them from every defilement of flesh and spirit, and dwell in them and walk among them through His Christ, bless their comings in and their goings out, and direct what lies before them to what is expedient. Let us further earnestly make supplication for them, that, having obtained remission of their offences through initiation, they may be counted worthy of the holy mysteries and of abiding with the saints. Rise up, you catechumens. Ask for the peace of God through His Christ, for a day peaceful and free from sin, and so for all the time of your life, for your ends to be Christian, for God to be merciful and gracious, for remission of offences; commend yourselves to the only unbegotten God through His Christ. Bow down, and receive the blessing. And at each of these things which the deacon bids, as we said before, let the people say: Lord, have mercy; and before all, the children.

At cardinalis Bessarion, scribens de sacramento eucharistiae, profitetur liturgiam Clementis inter apocrypha commemorari solere.

(continued) mass: "Many others too of the divine shepherds and teachers of the Church who succeeded the holy apostles left the exposition of the mystical liturgy in writing and handed it down to the Church; and of these the first and most renowned are the blessed Clement, the disciple and successor of the chief of the apostles, the holy apostles dictating to him," etc. [Latin version of the same:] "Many other divine pastors and teachers of the Church also, who succeeded the holy apostles, committed an exposition of the mystical mass to writing and handed it down to the Church: of whom the first, and the most illustrious, are these: namely the blessed Clement, disciple and successor of the prince of the apostles, who published it at the dictation of the holy apostles," etc. Nicholas of Methone says the like. But Cardinal Bessarion, writing on the sacrament of the Eucharist, declares that the liturgy of Clement is commonly reckoned among the apocrypha. And indeed, since no one needs prompting to compare the various liturgies with one another, I will only advise that on this chapter Chrysostom be consulted, homily 2 on 2 Corinthians, together with Augustine, letters 107 and 119, and also Basil, letter 241, where he calls "ecclesiastical proclamations" (κηρύγματα ἐκκλησιαστικά) what are here and elsewhere called "bidding prayers" (προσφωνήσεις).

Τοῦ ἐνδύματος τῆς ἀφθαρσίας.

En Graeca Nicetae e codicibus Regiis : Εἴληπται δὲ τὸ ἔνδυμα τῆς ἀφθαρσίας, ἀπὸ τῆς ὀκταβίβλου τῆς διὰ Κλήμεντος· Ἵνα γὰρ, φησὶ, καταξιώσῃ αὐτοὺς τοῦ λουτροῦ τῆς παλιγγενεσίας, τοῦ ἐνδύματος τῆς ἀφθαρσίας. Idem Theologi explanator ad orat. 40, n. 4, sic loquitur : Ἀφθαρσίας δὲ ἔνδυμα, κατὰ τὰς ἀποστολικὰς διατάξεις, ὡς τῆς αἰσχύνης συγκάλυμμα. Συγκαλύπτων γὰρ ταύτην, ἀφθαρσίας ἐνδύει, διὰ τὸ ἀποφαίνειν τὴν ψυχὴν ἄφθαρτον ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ καθαρὰν ὡς τὸ ἀπαρχῆς. COT.

Of the garment of incorruption. Nicetas notes that Gregory Nazianzen took his "garment of incorruption," oration 42, p. 685, from here: whether truly, I doubt; for he could have had it from other liturgies, for example from the one in Chrysostom, homily 2 on 2 Corinthians. Here is the Greek of Nicetas from the Royal codices: "The 'garment of incorruption' is taken from the eight-book work that comes through Clement: 'For that he may,' it says, 'count them worthy of the washing of regeneration, of the garment of incorruption.'" The same expositor of the Theologian, on oration 40, n. 4, speaks thus: "And a garment of incorruption, according to the Apostolic Constitutions, as being the covering of shame. For covering this, he clothes with incorruption, because it renders the soul incorrupt from sin, and pure as at the beginning." Cotelerius.

the bishop who has been ordained bless them with a blessing such as this: O God the Almighty, the unbegotten and unapproachable, the only true God, the God and Father of Thy Christ, Thine only-begotten Son, the God of the Paraclete, and Lord of the universe; Who through Christ didst set the disciples as teachers for the learning of piety; do Thou Thyself now also look upon Thy servants, who are being instructed in the Gospel of Thy Christ; and give them a new heart, and renew a right Spirit in their inward parts, that they may know and do Thy will with a full heart and a willing soul; count them worthy of the holy initiation, and unite them to Thy holy Church, and make them partakers of the divine mysteries, through Christ, our hope, Who died for them; through Whom to Thee be glory and worship, in the Holy Spirit, unto the ages. Amen. And after this let the deacon say: Go forth, you catechumens, in peace; and after they have gone out, let him say: Pray, you who are troubled by unclean spirits. Let us all earnestly make supplication for them, that God, the lover of mankind, may through Christ rebuke the unclean and evil spirits, and deliver His suppliants from the domination of the adversary; that He Who rebuked the legion of demons, and the devil, the author of evil, may Himself now also rebuke the apostates from piety, and deliver His own creatures from his working, and cleanse those whom He made with great wisdom. Let us further earnestly make supplication for them. Save them and raise them up, O God, in Thy power. Bow down, you who are troubled, and receive the blessing. And let the bishop pray over them, saying:
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Ζʹ. Ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐνεργουμένων.
CHAPTER VII. For those who are troubled [by spirits].
Ὁ τὸν ἰσχυρὸν δήσας, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ διαρπάσας· ὁ δοὺς ἡμῖν ἐξουσίαν ἐπάνω ὄφεων καὶ σκορπίων πατεῖν, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ ἐχθροῦ· ὁ τὸν ἀνθρωποκτόνον ὄφιν, δεσμώτην παραδοὺς ἡμῖν, ὡς στρουθίον παιδίοις· ὃν πάντα φρίττει καὶ τρέμει, ἀπὸ προσώπου δυνάμεώς σου· ὁ ῥήξας αὐτὸν ὡς ἀστραπὴν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ εἰς γῆν, οὐ τοπικῷ ῥήγματι, ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ τιμῆς εἰς ἀτιμίαν, δι' ἑκούσιον αὐτοῦ κακόνοιαν· οὗ τὸ βλέμμα ξηραίνει ἀβύσσους, καὶ ἡ ἀπειλὴ τήκει ὄρη, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· ὃν αἰνεῖ τὰ νήπια, καὶ εὐλογεῖ τὰ θηλάζοντα· ὃν ὑμνοῦσι καὶ προσκυνοῦσιν ἄγγελοι· ὁ ἐπιβλέπων ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ ποιῶν αὐτὴν τρέμειν· ὁ ἁπτόμενος τῶν ὀρέων, καὶ καπνίζονται· ὁ ἀπειλῶν θάλασσαν, καὶ ξηραίνων αὐτὴν, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ποταμοὺς αὐτοὺς ἐξερημῶν,
Thou Who didst bind the strong one and plunder all his goods; Who gavest us authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; Who didst deliver the man-slaying serpent bound to us, as a sparrow to little children; at whom all things shudder and tremble before the face of Thy power; Who didst cast him down as lightning from heaven to earth, not by a fall in place, but from honour to dishonour, because of his voluntary ill will; Whose glance dries up the deeps, and Whose threat melts mountains, and Whose truth abides for ever; Whom infants praise and sucklings bless; Whom angels hymn and adore; Who lookest upon the earth and makest it tremble; Who touchest the mountains, and they smoke; Who dost threaten the sea and dry it up, and make desolate all the rivers themselves,

Amen. And let the deacon say: Go forth, you who are troubled; and after them let him bid: Pray, you who are being enlightened. Let all of us the faithful earnestly beseech for them, that the Lord may count them worthy, having been initiated into the death of Christ, to rise together with Him, and to become partakers of His kingdom and sharers in His mysteries; that He may unite them to and enrol them with those who are being saved in His holy Church. Save them and raise them up in Thy grace. Having sealed themselves to God through His Christ, let them bow down and be blessed by the bishop with this blessing:

Amen. And let the deacon say: Go forth, you who are being enlightened. And after this let him proclaim: Pray, you who are in penitence.

Οἱ φωτιζόμενοι. Distinguuntur apud Cyrillum Hierosolymitanum φωτιζόμενοι a κατηχουμένοις, et νεοφωτίστοις, et πιστοῖς, appellanturque etiam, οἱ τῷ βαπτίσματι προσερχόμενοι, qui ad baptismum accedunt. Interprete vero Zonara ad canonem Trullanum 78, sunt οἱ πρὸς τὸ φώτισμα ἑτοιμαζόμενοι, qui ad illuminationem et baptismum se praeparant. In Euchologio autem, sive Rituali Graecorum, p. 195, 196, 343, 344, φωτιζόμενοι dicuntur, οἱ πρὸς τὸ φώτισμα, οἱ πρὸς τὸ βάπτισμα εὐτρεπιζόμενοι, qui ad illuminationem, qui ad sanctum baptisma se disponunt; insuperque assignatur tempus istius eorum officii, nempe ἀπὸ τῆς τετάρτης τῆς μεσονηστίμου.

Those being enlightened. In Cyril of Jerusalem the φωτιζόμενοι are distinguished from the catechumens, and from the newly enlightened, and from the faithful, and they are also called "those who approach baptism," who draw near to baptism. On the interpretation of Zonaras, on Trullan canon 78, they are "those making ready for enlightenment," who are preparing themselves for enlightenment and baptism. And in the Euchologion, or Ritual of the Greeks, pp. 195, 196, 343, 344, those are called φωτιζόμενοι who "are being made ready for the enlightenment, for the baptism," who are disposing themselves for enlightenment, for holy baptism; and in addition the time of that office of theirs is assigned, namely "from the Wednesday of Mid-Lent." To the φωτιζόμενοι of the Greeks correspond the Competentes of the Latins. Cotelerius.

Εὔξασθε. In iisdem hic est cap. 11 inscriptum : Προσφώνησις ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐν μετανοίᾳ. CLER. — Inter sexcenta ritus longe celeberrimi testimonia, succurrunt duo depravata leviter, quae corrigere operae pretium fuerit. Theodori Balsamonis alterum ad canonem Laodicenum 19 : Κατηχούμενοι μὲν λέγονται, οἱ πρὸς τὸ βάπτισμα ἑτοιμαζόμενοι, ἐν μετανοίᾳ δέ εἰσιν, οἱ διά τινα ἁμαρτήματα ἐπιτιμηθέντες πιστοὶ, οἱ ἀξιούμενοι καὶ τῆς ἁγίας μεταλήψεως ; alterum Nicephori Callisti lib. xii, cap 28 : Ἢ νηστείαις καὶ ἀγρυπνίαις, καὶ πυκναῖς προσευχαῖς τε καὶ μετανοίαις, ἢ ἀλουσίαις καὶ ἀποχαῖς τρυφῶν. Ego priori loco legerim per modicam trajectionem : Οἱ διά τινα ἁμαρτήματα ἐπιτιμηθέντες· καὶ πιστοὶ, οἱ ἀξιούμενοι τῆς ἁγίας μεταλήψεως. Poenitentes vero sunt, quibus propter peccata poena injuncta est : at fideles, qui sancta communione digni habentur; vel ut in lib. Reg. 2431 : Ἐπιτιμηθέντες· πιστοὶ, οἱ ἀξιώμενοι καὶ τῆς ἁγίας μεταλήψεως, posteriori autem scripserim : καὶ ἀποχαῖς τροφῶν, ut respondeat ἐδεσμάτων ἀποχῇ apud Sozomenum lib. vii, cap. 16, quo loci Epiphanius Scholasticus invenerat forte, ἐποχῇ ; vertit enim ; suspensione ciborum. COT.

Pray. In the same codices ch. 11 is here, headed "Bidding prayer for those in penance." Clericus. — Among the countless testimonies to this most celebrated rite, two occur that are slightly corrupt, which it will be worth while to correct. One is Theodore Balsamon's, on canon 19 of Laodicea: "Those are called catechumens who are making ready for baptism, and those are in penance who have been put under penalty for certain sins, the faithful, who are also admitted to the holy communion"; the other is Nicephorus Callistus's, book XII, ch. 28: "Either by fastings and vigils, and frequent prayers and prostrations, or by going unwashed and by abstinences from luxuries." In the former place I would read, with a small transposition: "Those who have been put under penalty for certain sins; and the faithful are those admitted to the holy communion." And penitents are those on whom a penalty has been laid for sins; but the faithful, those who are held worthy of holy communion; or, as in the Royal book 2431: "put under penalty; the faithful, those admitted also to the holy communion." In the latter I would write "and by abstinences from foods" (τροφῶν), so that it answers to "abstinence (ἀποχῇ) from foods" in Sozomen, book VII, ch. 16, where Epiphanius Scholasticus had perhaps found ἐποχῇ; for he translates "by suspension of foods."

Unde Clemens Alexandrinus, p. 801, l. i : Εὐχαὶ χειρῶν, et p. 793, c. 1, B : Ἐν τῇ χειροθεσίᾳ λέγουσιν ἐπὶ τέλους· εἰς λύτρωσιν ἀγγελικήν.

Laying on of hands. Partly because the name "imposition of hands" is sometimes given to the prayer, as being usually joined with the laying on of hands, from Matt. 19:13, 15, in the second council of Milevis, canon 12; in Augustine, book III On Baptism against the Donatists, ch. 16; and according to Leo, letter 92, ch. 2. Hence Clement of Alexandria, p. 801, line 1: "prayers of hands," and p. 793, col. 1, B: "In the laying on of hands they say at the end: 'unto angelic redemption.'" Eusebius, History, book I, last chapter: "and prayers by the hand" (which in Nicephorus is "by prayer together with touch," not badly); and book VII, ch. 2: "by the prayer with the laying on of hands," where Nicephorus has "by the prayer through the hand," and Rufinus, as in the earlier place, "by imposition of the hand." And Augustine, On the Merits and Remission of Sins, ch. 26, book II: "the prayer of the imposition of the hand." Partly because in blessing the hand was laid on: Gen. 48:14, 15; Mark 10:16; "the laying on of hands for blessing," says the patriarch Tarasius in session 1 of the seventh synod, on which matter letter 59 of St. Augustine should especially be seen; and this of the Clement already cited should be noted, ch. 11 of Paedagogus 3, p. 248: "For on whom does the presbyter lay his hand? Whom will he bless? Not the woman who is adorned, but another's hair, and another head that goes with it." Partly, lastly, on account of the very well-known custom of laying hands on the penitents at mass before the celebration of the mysteries. Read below chs. 37, 38, 39, and above book VII, ch. 44. There is extant a "Prayer of the imposition of the hand" of this kind, or "Prayer: imposition of the hand," pertaining to penance, from the Roman Penitential, in Halitgar; but corrupt, and to be restored as follows with the help of John Morinus's Ancient Penitentials, p. 70, col. 2: "Holy Lord, almighty Father, eternal God, who through Jesus Christ Thy Son our Lord hast deigned to heal our wounds, we Thy humble priests as suppliants ask and beseech Thee that Thou wouldst deign to incline the ear of Thy [mercy] to our prayers, and remit all crimes and pardon all sins, and give to this Thy servant pardon for punishments, joy for sorrow, life for death. He has fallen from the hope of the heavenly height: and, trusting in Thy mercy, may he deserve to attain to the good peace" (or "to the good of peace," or "to the good things of the peace-bringer") "of Thy reward, and to heavenly things" (or "and to the heavenly gifts"), "unto eternal life. Through the Lord." Cotelerius. (In the Clement quotation the words read here as "καὶ τὴν αὐτῶν" are smudged in the scan and set with reserve.)

Ἔτι ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν ἐκτενέστερον δεηθῶμεν· ὅτι « χαρὰ γίνεται ἐν οὐρανῷ ἐπὶ ἑνὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ μετανοοῦντι, » ὅπως ἀποστραφέντες πᾶν ἔργον ἀθέμιτον, προσοικειωθῶσι πάσῃ πράξει ἀγαθῇ· ἵνα ὁ φιλάνθρωπος Θεὸς ᾗ τάχος εὐμενῶς προσδεξάμενος αὐτῶν τὰς λιτὰς, ἀποκαταστήσῃ αὐτοῖς ἀγαλλίασιν τοῦ σωτηρίου, καὶ πνεύματι ἡγεμονικῷ στηρίξῃ αὐτοὺς, ἵνα μηκέτι σαλευθῶσι, κοινωνοὶ γενέσθαι τῶν ἁγίων αὐτοῦ ἱερῶν, καὶ μέτοχοι τῶν θείων μυστηρίων· ἵνα ἄξιοι ἀποφανθέντες τῆς υἱοθεσίας, τύχωσι τῆς αἰωνίας ζωῆς. Ἔτι ἐκτενῶς πάντες ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν εἴπωμεν· Κύριε ἐλέησον. Σῶσον αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ ἀνάστησον τῷ ἐλέει σου. Ἀναστάντες τῷ Θεῷ διὰ τοῦ Χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ, κλίνατε καὶ εὐλογεῖσθε. Ἐπευχέσθω οὖν ὁ ἐπίσκοπος τοιάδε·
"may crush Satan under their feet speedily," and may ransom them from the snare of the devil and from the abuse of the demons, and may deliver them from every unlawful word, and every unseemly deed, and wicked thought; and may forgive them all their transgressions, both the voluntary and the involuntary, and may blot out the handwriting that is against them, and may inscribe them in the book of life; and may cleanse them from every defilement of flesh and spirit, and may unite them, restoring them to His holy flock. For He knows our frame. For "who will boast that he has a pure heart? or who will speak confidently that he is clean from sin?" for we are all under penalties. Let us yet more earnestly entreat on their behalf, because "there is joy in heaven over one sinner repenting," that, having turned away from every unlawful work, they may be joined closely to every good deed; so that God, the lover of mankind, with all speed graciously receiving their supplications, may restore to them the exultation of salvation, and may establish them with a governing spirit, that they may no longer be shaken, to become sharers in His holy sacred rites, and partakers of the divine mysteries; so that, being shown worthy of the adoption as sons, they may obtain eternal life. Let us all yet earnestly say on their behalf: Lord, have mercy. Save them, O God, and raise them up by Thy mercy. Having risen up to God through His Christ, bow down and be blessed. Let the bishop therefore pray over them in this manner:

κόσμον ἀναδείξας διὰ Χριστοῦ, καὶ νόμον δοὺς αὐτῷ ἔμφυτον καὶ γραπτὸν, πρὸς τὸ ζῇν αὐτὸν ἐνθέσμως, ὡς λογικόν· καὶ ἁμαρτόντι ὑποθήκην δοὺς πρὸς μετάνοιαν τὴν σαυτοῦ ἀγαθότητα· ἔπιδε ἐπὶ τοὺς κεκλικότας σοι αὐχένα ψυχῆς καὶ σώματος· ὅτι οὐ βούλει τὸν θάνατον τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ, ἀλλὰ τὴν μετάνοιαν, ὥστε ἀποστρέψαι αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς, καὶ ζῇν. Ὁ Νινευϊτῶν προσδεξάμενος τὴν μετάνοιαν· ὁ θέλων πάντας ἀνθρώπους σωθῆναι, καὶ εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας ἐλθεῖν· ὁ τὸν υἱὸν προσδεξάμενος, τὸν καταφαγόντα τὸν βίον αὐτοῦ ἀσώτως, πατρικοῖς σπλάγχνοις, διὰ τὴν μετάνοιαν· αὐτὸς καὶ νῦν πρόσδεξαι τῶν ἱκετῶν σου τὴν μετάγνωσιν· ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ὃς οὐχ ἁμαρτήσεταί σοι· « Ἐὰν γὰρ ἀνομίας παρατηρήσῃ, Κύριε, Κύριε, τίς ὑποστήσεται; ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ ὁ ἱλασμός ἐστι· » καὶ ἀποκατάστησον αὐτοὺς τῇ ἁγίᾳ σου Ἐκκλησίᾳ, ἐν τῇ προτέρᾳ ἀξίᾳ καὶ τιμῇ, διὰ τοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν· δι' οὗ σοι δόξα καὶ προσκύνησις, ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι, εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. Ἀμήν. Καὶ ὁ διάκονος λεγέτω· Ἀπολύεσθε οἱ ἐν μετανοίᾳ. Καὶ προστιθέτω· Μήτις τῶν μὴ δυναμένων προελθέτω· ὅσοι πιστοὶ, κλίνωμεν γόνυ· δεηθῶμεν τοῦ Θεοῦ διὰ τοῦ Χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ. Πάντες συντόνως τὸν Θεὸν διὰ τοῦ Χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ παρακαλέσωμεν.
an ornament didst show forth through Christ, and didst give him a law implanted and written, that he might live lawfully, as a rational being; and to him when he had sinned didst give Thine own goodness as a pledge for repentance: look upon those who have bowed to Thee the neck of soul and body; for Thou dost not will the death of the sinner, but his repentance, so that he may turn back from his wicked way, and live. Thou Who didst accept the repentance of the Ninevites; Who dost will that all men be saved, and come to the knowledge of truth; Who didst receive the son, who had devoured his living prodigally, with a father's compassion, on account of his repentance: do Thou Thyself now also accept the change of mind of Thy suppliants; for there is no one who will not sin against Thee: "For if Thou shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, Lord, who shall stand? for with Thee is the propitiation"; and restore them to Thy holy Church, in their former dignity and honour, through the Christ, our God and Saviour; through Whom to Thee be glory and worship, in the Holy Spirit, unto the ages. Amen. And let the deacon say: Depart, you who are in penitence. And let him add: Let none of those who are not able come forward; as many as are faithful, let us bend the knee; let us entreat God through His Christ. Let us all intently call upon God through His Christ.

For the peace and the good estate of the world and of the holy Churches let us pray, that the God of the universe may grant us His own peace, everlasting and not to be taken away, so that He may preserve us continuing in the fullness of the virtue that accords with piety; for the holy catholic and apostolic Church which is from the ends to the ends [of the earth] let us pray, that the Lord may guard and keep it unshaken and untossed by waves until the consummation of the age, founded upon the rock. And for the holy parish here let us pray, that the Lord of the universe may count us worthy to pursue unyieldingly His heavenly hope, and to render to Him unceasingly the debt of prayer. For every episcopate under heaven of those who rightly divide the word of Thy truth let us pray; and for our bishop James and his parishes let us pray;

Μή τις τῶν μὴ δυναμένων προελθέτω. Interpres Bovius legisse videtur προσελθέτω. Nullus, inquit, ex prohibitis accedat. Quae scriptio nequaquam est aspernanda. Lib. ii, cap. 57 : φυλαττέσθωσαν δὲ αἱ θύραι, μή τις ἄπιστος εἰσέλθοι, ἢ ἀμύητος; et lib hoc ult., cap. 11 : Οἱ δὲ διάκονοι ἱστάσθωσαν εἰς τὰς τῶν ἀνδρῶν θύρας, καὶ οἱ ὑποδιάκονοι εἰς τὰς τῶν γυναικῶν· ὅπως μή τις ἐξέλθοι. Lege can. apost. 9, et supra ad ii, 54. COT.

Let none of those who are not permitted come forward. The translator Bovius seems to have read προσελθέτω ("draw near"). "Let none," he says, "of those forbidden approach." This reading is by no means to be scorned. Book II, ch. 57: "And let the doors be guarded, lest any unbeliever or uninitiated person come in"; and in this last book, ch. 11: "And let the deacons stand at the men's doors, and the subdeacons at the women's, that no one go out." Read apostolic canon 9, and above on II, 54. Cotelerius.

For our bishop James, etc. I take the occasion to correct Simeon of Thessalonica, ch. 6 of the book On Sacred Ordinations: "And having made mention of the emperors, as defenders of the Church, and of the archbishop, as shepherding in Christ," etc., where the most learned Morinus printed ὡς πηνὴν ὄντος ἐν Χριστῷ, and translated: "he also makes mention of the emperors, as defenders of the Church; and of the archbishop, as a poor man in Christ," reading πένητος. And that prayer is here made for the bishop's old age may also be seen in Chrysostom, homily 2 On the Obscurity of the Prophets, vol. III. The same.

For the whole diaconate and service in Christ let us pray, that the Lord may afford them a blameless ministry.

For our newly enlightened brethren let us pray, that the Lord may establish and confirm them. For our brethren tried in sickness let us pray, that the Lord may deliver them from every disease and every infirmity, and may restore them sound to His holy Church.

Let us remember the infants of the Church, that the Lord, having perfected them in His fear, may bring them to the measure of maturity; for one another let us pray, that the Lord may keep us and guard us by His grace unto the end, and may deliver us from the evil one and from all the stumbling-blocks of those who work iniquity, and may save us into His heavenly kingdom. For every Christian soul let us pray. Save and raise us up, O God, by Thy mercy. Let us rise. Having prayed earnestly, let us commend ourselves and one another to the living God through His Christ.

, Holy One Who restest among the holy, without beginning, sole Ruler; Who through Christ didst give us the proclamation of knowledge unto the full knowledge of Thy glory and of Thy name, which He manifested to us for our comprehension: do Thou Thyself now also look through Him upon this Thy flock; and ransom it from all ignorance and wicked practice; and grant it to fear Thee with fear, and to love Thee with love, and to shrink in awe before the face of Thy glory; be gracious to them, and merciful, and ready to hear in their prayers; and keep them unchangeable, blameless, irreproachable; that they may be holy in body and soul, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that they may be complete, and none among them be maimed or imperfect. O Helper, Mighty One, Who dost not respect persons, be the defender of this Thy people, whom Thou didst redeem with the precious blood of Thy Christ. [Be their] Protector, Ally, Steward, Guardian, strongest Wall, Fence, Security, because out of Thy hand no one is able to snatch; for there is no other God like Thee; because in Thee is our patient expectation. "Sanctify them in Thy truth, for Thy word is truth." Thou Who art not won by favour, Who canst not be misled: deliver them from every disease and every infirmity, from every transgression, from every abuse and deceit, from fear of the enemy, from the arrow that flies by day, from the thing that walks about in darkness; and count them worthy of the eternal life which is in Christ Thine only-begotten Son, our God and Saviour; through Whom to Thee be glory and reverence, in the Holy Spirit, now, and always, and unto the ages of ages. Amen. And after this let the deacon say: Let us attend. And let the bishop greet the church, and say: The peace of God be with you all; and let the people answer: And with your spirit. And let the deacon say to all: Greet one another with a holy kiss. And let those of the clergy greet the bishop, the laymen the laymen, the women the women. But let the children stand by the bema, and let another deacon be set over them, that they may not be disorderly. And let other deacons walk about, and watch the men and the women, that no disturbance arise, and that no one nod, or whisper, or doze. And let the deacons stand at the doors of the men, and the subdeacons at those of the women, that no one go out, and that the door not be opened, even if someone be one of the faithful, during the time of the oblation. And let one subdeacon give a washing of hands to the priests, a symbol of the purity of souls dedicated to God.

Ῥιπίδιον. Abstinebo inutili expositione et citatione erga consuetudinem a non paucis descriptam, a plurimis memoratam, ut Graecis familiarem, ita Latinis non omnino ignotam : contentus adduxisse duo loca, Latinum unum, quo cum illo Hildeberti conjungatur, alterum Graecum, quia obscurus, a docto interprete minus bene conversus, atque in mendo cubans, ope nostra indiget. Igitur in Consuetudinibus monasterii Cluniacensis lib. II, cap. 30, Spicilegii Acheriani. tom. IV, p. 142, scriptum habetur : Unus autem ministrorum, qui semper duo debent esse, stans cum flabello prope sacerdotem, ex quo muscarum infestatio exsurgere incipit, donec finiatur, eas arcere a sacrificio, et ab altari, seu ab ipso sacerdote non negligit. In Chronico autem quod Alexandrinum vocant, p. 892 : Ἐπὶ Σεργίου πατριάρχου Κωνσταντινουπόλεως ἐπενοήθη ψάλλεσθαι μετὰ τὸ μεταλαβεῖν πάντας τῶν ἁγίων μυστηρίων, ἐν τῷ μέλλειν τοὺς κληρικοὺς ἐπὶ τὸ σκευοφυλάκιον ἀποκαθιστάναι τὰ τίμια ῥιπίδια, δισκάρια, καὶ ποτήρια, καὶ ἄλλα ἱερὰ σκεύη, μετὰ τὸ ἐκ τῶν παρὰ τραπεζίων καὶ τὴν διάδοσιν ἀποτεθῆναι πάντα εἰς τὴν ἁγίαν τράπεζαν, καὶ ψαλθῆναι τὸν τελευταῖον στίχον τοῦ κοινωνικοῦ. Λέγεται καὶ τοῦτο τὸ τροπάριον· Πληρωθήτω τὸ στόμα ἡμῶν αἰνέσεως, Κύριε, ὅπως ἀνυμνήσωμεν τὴν δόξαν σου, ὅτι ἠξίωσας ἁγίων σου μετασχεῖν μυστηρίων. Τήρησον ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ σῷ ἁγιασμῷ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν μελετῶντας τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου. Ἀλληλούϊα. Legendum videtur, ἐκ τῶν παρατραπεζίων καὶ τὴν διάδοσιν ἀποτεθῆναι καὶ πάντα, post, λέγεται δὲ τοῦτο. Ac vertendum : Sub Sergio patriarcha Constantinopolitano institutum est psallere, postquam a cunctis sancta mysteria percepta sunt, cum per clericos in sacrarium referenda sunt veneranda flabella, disci, calices, aliaque sacra vasa, postquam e mensulis et distributionis reliquiae, et omnia in sacram mensam sunt reposita, atque ultimus communionis versus cantatus fuit. Dicitur autem hoc troparium seu modulus : Impleatur os nostrum laude, Domine, ut celebremus gloriam tuam, quia nos participes facere sanctorum tuorum mysteriorum dignatus es. Serva nos in tua sanctificatione toto die meditantes justitiam tuam. Alleluia. Παρατράπεζον habes in Liturgia Jacobo ἀδελφοθέῳ tributa : ut et de tropario illo ibidem, atque in liturgiis aliis. COT.

Fan (ῥιπίδιον). I shall refrain from useless exposition and citation concerning a custom described by not a few and mentioned by very many, as familiar to the Greeks, and so not wholly unknown to the Latins: content to have brought forward two passages, one Latin, to be joined with that of Hildebert, the other Greek, because, being obscure, less well rendered by a learned translator, and lying under a corruption, it needs our help. So then, in the Customs of the monastery of Cluny, book II, ch. 30, in d'Achery's Spicilegium, vol. IV, p. 142, it stands written: "And one of the ministers, who ought always to be two, standing with a fan near the priest, from the time the plague of flies begins to arise until it ends, does not neglect to keep them off from the sacrifice, and from the altar, or from the priest himself." And in the Chronicle which they call the Alexandrian, p. 892: "Under Sergius, patriarch of Constantinople, it was devised that there be sung, after all have partaken of the holy mysteries, when the clerics are about to restore to the sacristy the precious fans, patens, and chalices, and other sacred vessels, after everything from the side-tables and the distribution has been laid on the holy table, and the last verse of the communion chant has been sung. This troparion also is said: 'Let our mouth be filled with praise, O Lord, that we may hymn Thy glory, because Thou hast counted us worthy to share in Thy holy mysteries. Keep us in Thy sanctification, meditating on Thy righteousness all the day. Alleluia.'" It seems one should read "from the side-tables, and the distribution, and everything be laid," and afterwards "and this is said." And it should be translated: "Under Sergius, patriarch of Constantinople, it was instituted to sing, after the holy mysteries have been received by all, when the venerable fans, patens, chalices, and other sacred vessels are to be carried back by the clerics into the sacristy, after the remains from the small tables and of the distribution, and all things, have been replaced on the sacred table, and the last verse of the communion has been sung. And this troparion or chant is said: 'Let our mouth be filled with praise, O Lord, that we may celebrate Thy glory, because Thou hast deigned to make us partakers of Thy holy mysteries. Keep us in Thy sanctification, meditating on Thy justice all the day. Alleluia.'" You have the word παρατράπεζον in the Liturgy attributed to James the brother of God; as also something of that troparion in the same place, and in other liturgies. Cotelerius.

Into the cups. So in the liturgies and in the rites of ordinations you will find "the chalices," "the mixing-bowls," "the holy chalices," "the first chalice," "two chalices." For sometimes the Greeks used more than one chalice when celebrating the sacred rite. The same.

Ordinance of James, the brother of John the son of Zebedee.
Φημὶ δὴ κἀγὼ Ἰάκωβος, ὁ ἀδελφὸς Ἰωάννου τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου, ἵν' εὐθὺς ὁ διάκονος λέγῃ· Μή τις τῶν κατηχουμένων. Μή τις τῶν ἀκροωμένων· Μή τις τῶν ἀπίστων. Μή τις τῶν ἑτεροδόξων. Οἱ τὴν πρώτην εὐχὴν εὐχόμενοι προέλθετε. Τὰ παιδία προσλαμβάνεσθε αἱ μητέρες· μή τις κατά τινος. Μή τις ἐν ὑποκρίσει. Ὀρθοὶ πρὸς Κύριον μετὰ φόβου καὶ τρόμου ἑστῶτες ὦμεν προσφέρειν. Ὧν γενομένων οἱ διάκονοι προσαγέτωσαν τὰ δῶρα τῷ ἐπισκόπῳ πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον· καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων στηκέτωσαν, ὡς ἂν μαθηταὶ παρεστῶτες διδασκάλῳ. Δύο δὲ διάκονοι ἐξ ἑκατέρων τῶν μερῶν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κατεχέτωσαν ἐξ ὑμένων λεπτῶν ῥιπίδιον, ἢ πτερῶν ταῶνος, ἢ ὀθόνης· καὶ ἠρέμα ἀποσοβείτωσαν τὰ μικρὰ τῶν ἱπταμένων ζώων, ὅπως ἂν μὴ ἐγχρίμπτωνται εἰς τὰ κύπελλα. Εὐξάμενος οὖν καθ' ἑαυτὸν ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς ἅμα τοῖς ἱερεῦσι, καὶ λαμπρὰν ἐσθῆτα μετενδὺς, καὶ στὰς πρὸς τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ, τὸ τρόπαιον τοῦ σταυροῦ κατὰ τοῦ μετώπου τῇ χειρὶ ποιησάμενος εἰς πάντας, εἰπάτω· Ἡ χάρις τοῦ παντοκράτορος Θεοῦ, καὶ ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, καὶ ἡ κοινωνία τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος, ἔστω μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν· καὶ πάντες συμφώνως λεγέτωσαν, ὅτι καὶ μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματός σου. Καὶ ὁ ἀρχιερεύς· Ἄνω τὸν νοῦν· καὶ πάντες· Ἔχομεν πρὸς τὸν Κύριον. Καὶ ὁ ἀρχιερεύς· Εὐχαριστήσωμεν τῷ Κυρίῳ· καὶ πάντες·
I too, then, James, the brother of John the son of Zebedee, say that the deacon is at once to say: Let none of the catechumens [remain]. None of the hearers. None of the unbelievers. None of the heterodox. You who pray the first prayer, come forward. Mothers, take your children to you. Let no one have anything against anyone. Let no one [be here] in hypocrisy. Standing upright towards the Lord with fear and trembling, let us be [ready] to offer. When these things have been done, let the deacons bring the gifts to the bishop at the altar; and let the presbyters stand on his right hand and on his left, as disciples standing beside a teacher. And let two deacons, on either side of the altar, hold a small fan of thin membranes, or of peacock's feathers, or of fine linen, and let them gently drive away the small flying creatures, so that they may not strike against the cups. The high priest, then, having prayed by himself together with the priests, and having put on a bright garment, and standing at the altar, having made with his hand the trophy of the cross upon his forehead before all, let him say: The grace of almighty God, and the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all (2 Cor. 13:13); and let all with one voice say: And with your spirit. And the high priest: Lift up the mind; and all: We have it towards the Lord. And the high priest: Let us give thanks to the Lord; and all:

It is fitting and just. And let the high priest say: It is truly fitting and just, before all things to hymn Thee, the God Who truly is, Who is before the things that have come to be, "from Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named" (Eph. 3:15); the only unbegotten, and without beginning, and subject to no king, and subject to no master; Who lacks nothing, the bestower of every good, Who is above every cause and origin, Who is always the same and in the same manner; from Whom all things, as from a starting-point, came into being. For Thou art the knowledge without beginning, the everlasting sight, the unbegotten hearing, the untaught wisdom; the first by nature, and the law of being, and above every number. Thou broughtest all things out of what is not into being through Thine only-begotten Son; and Him Thou didst beget before all ages by will, and power, and goodness, without any mediator, the only-begotten Son, God the Word, living Wisdom, the firstborn of all creation (Col. 1:15), the Angel of Thy great counsel (Isa. 9:6), Thy high priest, yet the king and lord of all intelligible and sensible nature, Who is before all things, through Whom are all things. For Thou, eternal God, hast made all things through Him, and through Him Thou deemest the whole worthy of fitting providence; for through Whom Thou didst grant being, through Him Thou didst also bestow well-being. O God and Father of Thine only-begotten Son, Who through Him before all things madest the cherubim and the seraphim, the aeons and the hosts, the powers

By will and power. Justin Martyr speaks in a like manner, with his disciple Tatian. Said thus simply, in an orthodox writer it is free of suspicion, as St. Athanasius teaches in oration 4 against the Arians, pp. 509, 510; but one must beware, the most prudent Father adds, of the heresy both of the Valentinians and of the Arians. "For Ptolemy, the follower of Valentinus, said that the Unbegotten has two yokes, Thought and Will," etc., where I would write "consorts" (συζύγους), from Irenaeus, book I, ch. 6; Tertullian, Against the Valentinians, ch. 3; and Epiphanius, heresy 33, n. 1.

Πρὸ πάντων, κ. τ. λ. Ex sententia multorum Patrum, angeli ante mundum exstiterunt. Per saecula plurima, additur a Hieronymo ad Tit. I, 2. Verum dogma contrarium sanctorum quoque Patrum praevaluit, ut existimentur angeli creati primo mundi die una cum coelo, terra et luce. ID. — Hanc veritatem esse doctrinam Ecclesiae docet Lateranensis concilii iv decretum ab Innocentio III confirmatum, quo dicitur Deus creator omnium visibilium et invisibilium, spiritualium et corporalium, qui sua omnipotenti virtute simul ab initio temporis, utramque de nihilo condidit creaturam, spiritualem et corporalem, angelicam videlicet et mundanam. DRACH.

Before all things, etc. In the opinion of many Fathers, the angels existed before the world. "Through very many ages," Jerome adds, on Titus 1:2. But the contrary teaching, also of holy Fathers, has prevailed, so that the angels are thought to have been created on the first day of the world together with heaven, earth and light. The same. — That this truth is the doctrine of the Church is taught by the decree of the fourth Lateran council, confirmed by Innocent III, in which God is called "creator of all things visible and invisible, spiritual and corporeal, who by his almighty power at once from the beginning of time created out of nothing both kinds of creature, the spiritual and the corporeal, that is, the angelic and the earthly."

Αἰῶνάς τε καὶ στρατιάς. Nihil incertius magisque diversum in scriptis veterum theologorum numero ac dispositione angelicorum ordinum. Ut enim a dispositione ordiar : invertitur illa passim, maxime circa medios ordines; etiam aliquando ab eodem auctore. Verbi gratia, (taceo Apostolum Roman. viii, 38; Ephes. I, 21; iii, 10; vi, 12 et Coloss. I, 16; aliter atque aliter collocantem) Gregorius Magnus lib. xxxii in Job, cap. xviii, hoc ordine recenset : Angeli, archangeli, throni, dominationes, virtutes, principatus, potestates, cherubim et seraphim. At homil. 34 in Evangelia enumerat angelos, archangelos, virtutes, potestates, principatus, dominationes, thronos, cherubim ac seraphim. Praeterea omnium primatus a Syris datur angelis in Dionysio pseudo-Areopagita ultimum locum tenentibus; a Basilio Seleuciensi Orat. in Deiparam, et Nicephoro CP.

Both ages and hosts. Nothing is more uncertain and more varied in the writings of the ancient theologians than the number and arrangement of the angelic orders. To begin with the arrangement: it is inverted everywhere, especially in the middle orders, sometimes even by the same author. For example (I say nothing of the Apostle, Rom. 8:38; Eph. 1:21; 3:10; 6:12 and Col. 1:16, who places them now one way, now another), Gregory the Great, book XXXII on Job, ch. 18, lists them in this order: "Angels, archangels, thrones, dominations, virtues, principalities, powers, cherubim and seraphim." But in homily 34 on the Gospels he enumerates "angels, archangels, virtues, powers, principalities, dominations, thrones, cherubim and seraphim." Moreover, the primacy of all is given by the Syrians to the angels, who in Dionysius the pseudo-Areopagite hold the last place; by Basil of Seleucia, Oration on the Mother of God, and by Nicephorus of Constantinople, Disputation on the Sacred Images, it is assigned to the cherubim; whom Chrysostom also, homily 3 On the Incomprehensible, sets before the seraphim; while the followers of Dionysius are split into two classes, namely those who make up the first Hierarchy of thrones 1, cherubim 2, seraphim 3 — and in this way, with Maximus the interpreter, the author of the Questions to Antiochus published among the works of Athanasius, question 8 — and those who turn the same order and series round into seraphim, cherubim and thrones. For Origen, finally, the first kind are "gods." I shall set down a notable passage of his, taken from tome I on John, p. 32 of the latest, Greek-Latin edition: "The God of the universe, then, has made a certain rational kind first in honour, which I think are those called gods, and a sec- (continues)

ρον ἐπὶ τοῦ παρόντος καλείσθωσαν θρόνοι, καὶ τρίτον χωρὶς διατάσεως ἀρχαί. Reddit Ferrarius : Universorum ergo Deus, genus primum quoddam rationale, quod caeteris honore excelleret, fecit; quod mea sententia eos complectatur qui vocantur dii; alterum in praesentia vocentur throni; tertium vero principatus sine dissidio. Legebat χωρὶς διαστάσεως, quemadmodum legi debet, hoc est absque ullo intermedio ubi alter interpres Perionius ponendo sine ordine, transfert, χωρὶς διατάξεως, sensu ridiculo. A dispositione ad numerum transeo. Esse eum incertum tradunt non pauci; quidam infinitum. Ex novenario autem Dionysiano multi detrahunt, non solum omissione, sed et dum ordines duos compingunt in unum. Ita cherubim et seraphim confundi videntur catechesi mystagogica 5 Cyrilli Jerosolymitani. Sic virtutes et seraphim miscentur per Gregorium Nyssenum lib. I Adversus Eunomium; itemque throni et cherubim, suffragante Theodorito ad Coloss. I, 16. Quin etiam magis turbat Augustinus Enarratione in psalmum LXXIX, et capite 58 Enchiridii ad Laurentium. Quid quod aperta Caesarii verba sunt de septem duntaxat ordinibus, dialogo 1, respons. ad interrog. 44.

Πνεύματα, Cyrillo catechesi 16; atque Spirituales, Maronitis, qui et Ignitos sive Igneos a seraphimis distinctos agnoscunt; supra lib. VII, cap. 35 : πνεύματα νοερὰ, λειτουργοὶ, λειτουργίαι : de quibus Clemens Alexandr., libro citato, p. 796, col. 1, A; Methodius De Resurrectione apud Epiphanium haeres. 64, n. 33; necnon Gregorius Nyssenus homil. 15 in Canticum canticorum. Λαμπρότητες, ἀναβάσεις, νοεραὶ δυνάμεις ἢ νόες, apud Gregorium Nazianzenum oratione 34 extrema, loco notando, quia ἀναβάσεις illae, Ascensiones et Ascensus ex famosa Origenis doctrina descendunt. Στρατιαί, hoc capite, indeque epistola interpolata Ignatii ad Trallianos, n. 5. Αἰῶνες, αἰώνια, ibidem et alibi. Hilarius II De Trinitate, ante medium : Archangeli nesciunt, angeli non audierunt, saecula non tenent. Eusebio De laudibus Constantini p. 606, dicuntur, δυνάμεις ἀφανεῖς, οὐρανίων ἀψίδων ὑπέρτεροι χοροὶ, ἀγγέλων στρατιαὶ, πνεύματα νοεροῦ φωτὸς ἔγγονα, αἰῶνες ἄχρονοι, ἄλλοι ἄπειροι αἰῶνες αἰώνων. Et a Hieronymo Ephes. III, 9 : Saecula exponuntur omnes spirituales et rationabiles creaturae quae in saeculis fuerunt. Adde Dionysium De divinis nominibus, cap. 5 et 10; ibique interpretes, ac praesertim istud eorum scholium, αἰῶνες γὰρ λέγονται καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι. Unde mirum a Jacobo Usserio, tantae lectionis ac doctrinae viro, ad Ignatianam epistolam affirmari potuisse, Aeonum istorum mentionem non occurrere. Denique Σαβαί : Origenis verba sunt, ubi supra. Ὧν ἕν τι γένος ἐκάλει Σαβαὶ Ἑβραῖος, παρὰ ἐσχηματίσθαι τὸν Σαβαὼθ, ἄρχοντα ἐκείνων τυγχάνοντα, οὐχ ἕτερον τοῦ Θεοῦ. Verum hi ab exercitibus στρατιαῖς minime differunt. COT.

(continued) [a sec]ond — for the present let them be called thrones — and a third, χωρὶς διατάσεως (so the passage is cited here), principalities." Ferrarius renders: "The God of the universe, therefore, made a certain first rational kind, to excel the rest in honour, which in my opinion comprises those who are called gods; let the second for the present be called thrones; and the third, principalities, without separation." He read χωρὶς διαστάσεως, as it ought to be read, that is, "with nothing in between"; where the other translator, Perionius, by putting "without order," renders χωρὶς διατάξεως, with a ridiculous sense. From the arrangement I pass to the number. Not a few hand down that it is uncertain; some, that it is infinite. From the Dionysian nine, moreover, many take something away, not only by omission, but also by joining two orders into one. So cherubim and seraphim seem to be run together in the fifth Mystagogic Catechesis of Cyril of Jerusalem. So virtues and seraphim are mingled by Gregory of Nyssa, book I Against Eunomius; and likewise thrones and cherubim, with Theodoret's support, on Col. 1:16. Augustine indeed makes still greater confusion in his Exposition of Psalm 79, and in chapter 58 of the Enchiridion to Laurentius. And what of the fact that there are plain words of Caesarius about only seven orders, dialogue 1, answer to question 44? Now the ranks of angels passed over by Dionysius and mentioned by others will be found to be these: "Watchers," among the Syrians; "kingdoms" (βασιλεῖαι), in the Hypotyposes of Clement of Alexandria. "Godheads" and "gods" (θεότητες, θεοί), in the same place, and also in his disciple Origen, tome I on John, the Hebrews agreeing. "Spirits" (πνεύματα), in Cyril, Catechesis 16; and "Spirituals," among the Maronites, who also recognize "Fiery ones" or "Igneous ones" as distinct from the seraphim; above, book VII, ch. 35: "intellectual spirits, ministers, ministries" (πνεύματα νοερά, λειτουργοί, λειτουργίαι): on which see Clement of Alexandria, in the book cited, p. 796, col. 1, A; Methodius, On the Resurrection, in Epiphanius, heresy 64, n. 33; and also Gregory of Nyssa, homily 15 on the Song of Songs. "Splendours, ascents, intellectual powers or minds" (λαμπρότητες, ἀναβάσεις, νοεραὶ δυνάμεις ἢ νόες), in Gregory Nazianzen, at the end of oration 34, a passage to be noted, because those ἀναβάσεις, "Ascensions" and "Ascents," come down from the well-known teaching of Origen. "Hosts" (στρατιαί), in this chapter, and thence in the interpolated letter of Ignatius to the Trallians, n. 5. "Ages," "eternal things" (αἰῶνες, αἰώνια), in the same place and elsewhere. Hilary, book II On the Trinity, before the middle: "The archangels do not know, the angels have not heard, the ages do not hold it." By Eusebius, On the Praises of Constantine, p. 606, they are called "unseen powers, choirs higher than the heavenly vaults, hosts of angels, spirits that are the offspring of intellectual light, timeless ages, other boundless ages of ages." And by Jerome, on Eph. 3:9, "the ages" are explained as "all the spiritual and rational creatures that have been in the ages." Add Dionysius, On the Divine Names, chs 5 and 10; and the commentators there, and especially this scholium of theirs: "for the angels too are called ages." Hence it is surprising that James Ussher, a man of such great reading and learning, could have affirmed, on the Ignatian letter, that no mention of these Aeons occurs. Finally "Sabai" (Σαβαί): the words are Origen's, in the place cited above: "Of whom one kind the Hebrew called Sabai, from which Sabaoth is formed, who is their ruler, none other than God." But these do not differ at all from the armies, the "hosts" (στρατιαῖς). Cotelerius.

Εἰσαγαγὼν δὲ εἰς τὸν τῆς τρυφῆς παράδεισον, πάντων μὲν ἀνῆκας αὐτῷ τὴν ἐξουσίαν πρὸς μετάληψιν, ἑνὸς δὲ μόνου τὴν γεῦσιν ἀπεῖπας ἐπ' ἐλπίδι κρειττόνων, ἵνα, ἐὰν φυλάξῃ τὴν ἐντολὴν, μισθὸν ταύτης τὴν ἀθανασίαν κομίσηται. Ἀμελήσαντα δὲ τῆς ἐντολῆς, καὶ γευσάμενον ἀπηγορευμένου καρποῦ ἀπάτῃ ὄφεως καὶ συμβουλίᾳ γυναικὸς, τοῦ μὲν παραδείσου δικαίως ἔξωσας αὐτὸν, ἀγαθότητι δὲ εἰς τὸ παντελὲς ἀπολλύμενον οὐχ ὑπερεῖδες· σὸν γὰρ ἦν δημιούργημα· ἀλλὰ καθυποτάξας αὐτῷ τὴν κτίσιν, δέδωκας αὐτῷ οἰκείοις ἱδρῶσι καὶ πόνοις πορίζειν ἑαυτῷ τὴν τροφὴν, σοῦ πάντα φύοντος καὶ αὔξοντος καὶ πεπαίνοντος· χρόνῳ δὲ πρὸς ὀλίγον αὐτὸν κοιμίσας, ὅρκῳ εἰς παλιγγενεσίαν ἐκάλεσας· ὅρον θανάτου λύσας, ζωὴν ἐξ ἀναστάσεως ἐπηγγείλω· καὶ οὐ τοῦτο μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοὺς ἐξ αὐτοῦ εἰς πλῆθος ἀνάριθμον χέας, τοὺς ἐμμείναντάς σοι ἐδόξασας,
and at another spreadest it out into a plain, and at one time makest it rage with a storm, and at another soothest it with a calm, so that it is easy for seafaring sailors to voyage upon; Who girded with rivers the world that came to be from Thee through Christ, and flooded it with torrents, and drenched it with ever-flowing springs, and bound it round with mountains for an unshaken and most secure seat of the earth. For Thou hast filled Thy world, and adorned it with fragrant and healing herbs; with living creatures many and diverse, strong and weaker, for food and for work, tame and untamed; with the hissings of creeping things, with the cries of many-coloured birds; with the cycles of years, the numbers of months and days, the orders of the seasons; with the courses of rain-bearing clouds, for the bringing forth of fruits and the sustaining of living creatures, the balance of the winds (Job 28:25) that blow when they are commanded by Thee, the multitude of the plants and the herbs. And Thou hast not only fashioned the world, but hast also made in it man, the citizen of the world, showing him forth as the ornament of the world. For Thou saidst to Thy Wisdom: "Let us make man according to our image and according to likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heaven" (Gen. 1:26). Therefore also Thou hast made him of an immortal soul and a body that may be dissolved, the one out of what is not, the other out of the four elements; and Thou hast given him, as to the soul, rational discernment, the distinguishing of piety and impiety, the observing of the just and the unjust; and as to the body Thou didst grant the fivefold sense, and the motion of passing from place to place. For Thou, almighty God, through Christ didst plant a paradise in Eden towards the east, with the adornment of every kind of thing good for food, and into it, as into a sumptuous home, Thou didst bring him; and in making him Thou hast given him an implanted law, so that from his own home and from himself he might have the seeds of the knowledge of God. And having brought him into the paradise of delight, Thou didst leave him authority over all things to partake of them, but didst forbid the tasting of one only, in hope of better things, so that, if he should keep the commandment, he might receive immortality as the reward of it. But when he neglected the commandment and tasted the forbidden fruit, by the deceit of a serpent and the counsel of a woman, Thou didst justly thrust him out of paradise, yet in goodness didst not overlook him as he was perishing utterly, for he was Thy workmanship; but having subjected the creation to him, Thou hast given him to provide food for himself by his own sweat and labours, while Thou makest all things to sprout and grow and ripen; and having put him to sleep for a little time, Thou didst call him by an oath to a rebirth; having loosed the bound of death, Thou didst promise life from resurrection; and not this only, but also, having poured out those who came from him into a multitude without number, those who remained with Thee Thou didst glorify,

τοὺς δὲ ἀποστάντας σου ἐκόλασας· καὶ τοῦ μὲν Ἀβὲλ, ὡς ὁσίου προσδεξάμενος τὴν θυσίαν, τοῦ δὲ ἀδελφοκτόνου Κάϊν ἀποστραφεὶς τὸ δῶρον, ὡς ἐναγοῦς. Καὶ πρὸς τούτοις τὸν Σὴθ, καὶ τὸν Ἐνὼς προσελάβου, καὶ τὸν Ἐνὼχ μετατέθεικας. Σὺ γὰρ εἶ ὁ δημιουργὸς τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ τῆς ζωῆς χορηγὸς, καὶ τῆς ἐνδείας πληρωτής· καὶ τῶν νόμων δοτὴρ, καὶ τῶν φυλαττόντων αὐτοὺς μισθαποδότης, καὶ τῶν παραβαινόντων αὐτοὺς ἔκδικος.

Σὺ εἶ ὁ τὸν Ἀβραὰμ ῥυσάμενος προγονικῆς ἀσεβείας, καὶ κληρονόμον τοῦ κόσμου καταστήσας, καὶ ἐμφανίσας αὐτῷ τὸν Χριστόν σου. Ὁ τὸν Μελχισεδὲκ, ἀρχιερέα τῆς λατρείας προχειρισάμενος. Ὁ τὸν πολύτλαντα θεράποντά σου Ἰὼβ νικητὴν τοῦ ἀρχεκάκου ὄφεως ἀναδείξας. Ὁ τὸν Ἰσαὰκ ἐπαγγελίας υἱὸν ποιησάμενος· ὁ τὸν Ἰακὼβ πατέρα δώδεκα παίδων, καὶ τοὺς ἐξ αὐτοῦ εἰς πλῆθος χέας, καὶ εἰσαγαγὼν εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἐν ἑβδομήκοντα πέντε ψυχαῖς. Σὺ Κύριε, Ἰωσὴφ οὐχ ὑπερεῖδες· ἀλλὰ μισθὸν τῆς διὰ σὲ σωφροσύνης ἔδωκας αὐτῷ τὸ τῶν Αἰγυπτίων ἄρχειν. Σὺ Κύριε, Ἑβραίους ὑπὸ Αἰγυπτίων καταπονουμένους οὐ περιεῖδες, διὰ τὰς πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν ἐπαγγελίας· ἀλλ' ἐῤῥύσω, κολάσας Αἰγυπτίους. Παραφθειράντων δὲ τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὸν φυσικὸν νόμον, καὶ τὴν κτίσιν, ποτὲ μὲν αὐτόματον νομισάντων, ποτὲ δὲ πλεῖον ἢ δεῖ τιμησάντων, καὶ σοὶ τῷ Θεῷ τῶν πάντων συνταττόντων· οὐκ εἴασας πλανᾶσθαι, ἀλλὰ ἀναδείξας τὸν ἅγιόν σου θεράποντα Μωϋσῆν, δι' αὐτοῦ πρὸς βοήθειαν τοῦ φυσικοῦ τὸν γραπτὸν νόμον δέδωκας, καὶ τὴν κτίσιν ἔδειξας σὸν ἔργον εἶναι, τὴν δὲ πολύθεον πλάνην ἐξώρισας. Τὸν Ἀαρὼν καὶ τοὺς ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἱερατικῇ τιμῇ ἐδόξασας· Ἑβραίους ἁμαρτόντας ἐκόλασας, ἐπιστρέφοντας ἐδέξω· τοὺς Αἰγυπτίους δεκαπλήγῳ ἐτιμωρήσω· θάλασσαν διελὼν, Ἰσραηλίτας διεβίβασας· Αἰγυπτίους ἐπιδιώξαντας ὑποβρυχίους ἀπώλεσας· ξύλῳ πικρὸν ὕδωρ ἐγλύκανας· ἐκ πέτρας ἀκροτόμου ὕδωρ ἀνέχεας· ἐξ οὐρανοῦ τὸ μάννα ὕσας· τροφὴν ἐξ ἀέρος ὀρτυγομήτραν· στῦλον πυρὸς τὴν νύκτα πρὸς φωτισμὸν, καὶ στῦλον νεφέλης ἡμέραν πρὸς σκιασμὸν θάλπους.

and those who fell away from Thee Thou didst punish; accepting the sacrifice of Abel, as of a holy man (Gen. 4), but turning away from the gift of Cain, the slayer of his brother, as of one accursed. And besides these Thou didst receive Seth and Enos, and Thou hast translated Enoch (Ecclus. 49:19; Gen. 4, 5). For Thou art the fashioner of men, and the bestower of life, and the supplier of want; and the giver of laws, and the rewarder of those who keep them, and the avenger of those who transgress them. Thou art He Who brought the great flood upon the world because of the multitude of those who had acted impiously, and delivered the just Noah out of the flood in an ark with eight souls (Gen. 6, 7; 1 Pet. 3:20), the end of those who had passed away, but the beginning of those who were to come after. Who kindled the fearful fire against the five cities of Sodom (Gen. 19; Wis. 10:6), and turned a fruitful land into brine because of the wickedness of those who dwelt in it (Ps. 106:34), and snatched holy Lot out of the burning. Thou art He Who delivered Abraham from the impiety of his forefathers (Gen. 12, etc.), and appointed him heir of the world, and manifested to him Thy Christ. Who chose Melchizedek beforehand as high priest of Thy worship. Who showed forth Thy much-enduring servant Job as conqueror of the serpent, the author of evil. Who made Isaac a son of promise; Who made Jacob the father of twelve sons, and poured out those who came from him into a multitude, and brought him into Egypt with seventy-five souls (Gen. 46:27). Thou, Lord, didst not overlook Joseph, but as the reward of his chastity for Thy sake Thou gavest him to rule over the Egyptians. Thou, Lord, didst not disregard the Hebrews when they were worn down by the Egyptians, because of the promises made to their fathers, but didst deliver them, punishing the Egyptians (Exod. 1, etc.). And when men had corrupted the natural law, and at one time held the creation to be self-moved, and at another honoured it more than is right and ranked it with Thee, the God of all, Thou didst not allow them to go astray, but having shown forth Thy holy servant Moses, through him Thou hast given the written law as a help to the natural one (Isa. 8:20), and didst show the creation to be Thy work, and didst banish the error of many gods. Thou didst glorify Aaron and those who came from him with priestly honour; Thou didst punish the Hebrews when they sinned, and receive them when they turned back; Thou didst take vengeance on the Egyptians with ten plagues; having divided the sea, Thou didst bring the Israelites across; Thou didst destroy the pursuing Egyptians beneath the waters; with wood Thou didst sweeten the bitter water; out of the sheer rock Thou didst pour forth water; from heaven Thou didst rain the manna; [Thou gavest] quail as food from the air; a pillar of fire by night for light, and a pillar of cloud by day for shade from the heat. Having shown forth Jesus as commander, Thou didst through him overthrow seven nations of the Canaanites (Jos. 3:10), didst rend the Jordan, didst dry up the rivers of Etham, didst throw down walls without

Thee the numberless hosts of angels adore, of archangels, thrones, dominions, principalities, authorities, powers, hosts, aeons; the cherubim, and the six-winged seraphim, with two covering their feet, and with two their heads, and with two flying, and saying, together with thousand thousands of archangels and ten thousand times ten thousand angels, who cry out unceasingly and without falling silent; and let all the people say together: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord Sabaoth; full is the heaven and the earth of His glory (Isa. 6:3); blessed for ever. Amen." And let the high priest say next: For holy art Thou truly, and all-holy, most high and exalted above all for ever. And holy also is Thine only-begotten Son, our Lord and God, Jesus the Christ; Who, having ministered in all things to Thee, His God and Father, both in the manifold work of creation and in fitting providence, did not disregard the race of men as it was perishing, but after the natural law, after the exhortation of the Law, after the reproofs of the prophets and the guardianships of the angels, when men were corrupting the natural law together with the enacted one, and casting out of memory the flood, the burning, the plagues against the Egyptians, the slaughters against the Palestinians, and all were on the very point of perishing, He Himself, the fashioner of man, by Thy will was pleased to become man, the lawgiver to be under laws, the high priest to be a victim, the shepherd a sheep, and He appeased Thee, His own God and Father, and reconciled Thee to the world, and freed all from the wrath that lay upon them, having been born of a virgin, having come to be in flesh, God the Word, the beloved Son, the firstborn of all creation, according to the prophecies foretold of Him by Himself, of the seed of David and of Abraham, of the tribe of Judah; and He Who forms all who are begotten came to be in a virgin's womb, and the fleshless One was made flesh, He Who was begotten outside time has been born in time; having lived holily and taught according to the law, having driven every disease and every infirmity from men, and done signs and wonders among the people; having partaken of food and drink and sleep, He Who feeds all who need food and fills every living thing with good pleasure; He made Thy name manifest to those who did not know it, He put ignorance to flight, He rekindled piety, He fulfilled Thy will, He completed the work which Thou gavest Him. And having accomplished all these things, seized by the hands of lawless men, of priests and high priests falsely so called and of a lawless people, by the betrayal of him who was sick with wickedness, and having suffered many things at their hands and undergone every dishonour by Thy permission, handed over to Pilate the governor, and the Judge having been judged, and the Saviour condemned, He Who cannot suffer was nailed to a cross, and He Who by nature is immortal died,

The LAST WORD IS SPLIT at the column break: the column ends "ἀθάνα-"; the word is set whole with its comma (ἀθάνατος,), the tail "τος," checked on the first line of the next Greek column (1104), where it is not repeated. Superscript scripture-note numerals removed; the references in the English (Jos. VI; Isa. VI, 3) come from Migne's foot line, not from inside the text. Noted (Q2a): cols 1061 and 1064 of this unit set no foot-line reference in the English; the two here are left for the editorial pass to harmonize. The foot line's first reference, Psal. LXXIII, 15, belongs to "the rivers of Etham" in col. 1100; the foot also gives several Ignat. interpol. references, not placed. UNSURE: the Isaiah verse numeral in the foot line is blurred (3 or 5), read as 3; a stray point stands after Σὲ in line 2 (type flaw, not set); κυριοτήτων has a blurred mark over the second omicron. As printed, τῷ κόσμῳ κατήλλαξε has no expressed object; "Thee" is carried from the preceding clause. No foot notes (Variorum) under this column in the images. Column begins mid-sentence.

καὶ ἐτάφη ὁ ζωοποιὸς, ἵνα πάθους λύσῃ καὶ θανάτου ἐξέληται τούτους τοὺς δι' οὓς παρεγένετο, καὶ ῥήξῃ τὰ δεσμὰ τοῦ διαβόλου, καὶ ῥύσηται τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἐκ τῆς ἀπάτης αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀνέστη ἐκ νεκρῶν τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ· καὶ τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας ἐνδιατρίψας τοῖς μαθηταῖς, ἀνελήφθη εἰς τοὺς οὐρανοὺς, καὶ ἐκαθέσθη ἐκ δεξιῶν σου τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ Πατρὸς αὐτοῦ. Μεμνημένοι οὖν ὧν δι' ἡμᾶς ὑπέμεινε, εὐχαριστοῦμέν σοι, Θεὲ παντόκρατορ, οὐχ ὅσον ὀφείλομεν, ἀλλ' ὅσον δυνάμεθα, καὶ τὴν διάταξιν αὐτοῦ πληροῦμεν. Ἐν ᾗ γὰρ νυκτὶ παρεδίδοτο, λαβὼν ἄρτον ταῖς ἁγίαις καὶ ἀμώμοις αὐτοῦ χερσὶ, καὶ ἀναβλέψας πρὸς σὲ τὸν Θεὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ Πατέρα, καὶ κλάσας, ἔδωκε τοῖς μαθηταῖς εἰπών· « Τοῦτο τὸ μυστήριον τῆς Καινῆς Διαθήκης· λάβετε ἐξ αὐτοῦ, φάγετε· τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ σῶμά μου, τὸ περὶ πολλῶν θρυπτόμενον εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν· ὡσαύτως καὶ τὸ ποτήριον κεράσας ἐξ οἴνου καὶ ὕδατος, καὶ ἁγιάσας, ἐπέδωκεν αὐτοῖς, λέγων· Πίετε ἐξ αὐτοῦ πάντες· τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ αἷμά μου, τὸ περὶ πολλῶν ἐκχυνόμενον εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν. Τοῦτο ποιεῖτε εἰς τὴν ἐμὴν ἀνάμνησιν. Ὁσάκις γὰρ ἐὰν ἐσθίητε τὸν ἄρτον τοῦτον, καὶ πίνητε τὸ ποτήριον τοῦτο, τὸν θάνατον τὸν ἐμὸν καταγγέλλετε, ἄχρις ἂν ἔλθω. » Μεμνημένοι τοίνυν τοῦ πάθους αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῦ θανάτου, καὶ τῆς ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστάσεως, καὶ τῆς εἰς οὐρανοὺς ἐπανόδου, καὶ τῆς μελλούσης αὐτοῦ δευτέρας παρουσίας, ἐν ᾗ ἔρχεται μετὰ δόξης καὶ δυνάμεως κρῖναι ζῶντας καὶ νεκροὺς, καὶ ἀποδοῦναι ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ, προσφέρομέν σοι τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ Θεῷ, κατὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ διάταξιν, τὸν ἄρτον τοῦτον, καὶ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦτο, εὐχαριστοῦντές σοι δι' αὐτοῦ, ἐφ' οἷς κατηξίωσας ἡμᾶς ἑστάναι ἐνώπιόν σου, καὶ ἱερατεύειν σοι, καὶ ἀξιοῦμέν σε, ὅπως εὐμενῶς ἐπιβλέψῃς ἐπὶ τὰ προκείμενα δῶρα ταῦτα ἐνώπιόν σου, σὺ ὁ ἀνενδεὴς Θεὸς, καὶ εὐδοκήσῃς ἐπ' αὐτοῖς εἰς τιμὴν τοῦ Χριστοῦ σου, καὶ καταπέμψῃς τὸ ἅγιόν σου Πνεῦμα ἐπὶ τὴν θυσίαν ταύτην, τὸν μάρτυρα τῶν παθημάτων τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, ὅπως ἀποφήνῃ τὸν ἄρτον τοῦτον σῶμα τοῦ Χριστοῦ σου, καὶ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦτο αἷμα τοῦ Χριστοῦ σου, ἵνα οἱ μεταλαβόντες αὐτοῦ, βεβαιωθῶσι πρὸς εὐσέβειαν, ἀφέσεως ἁμαρτημάτων τύχωσι, τοῦ διαβόλου καὶ τῆς πλάνης αὐτοῦ ῥυσθῶσι, Πνεύματος ἁγίου πληρωθῶσιν, ἄξιοι τοῦ Χριστοῦ σου γένωνται, ζωῆς αἰωνίου τύχωσι, σοῦ καταλλαγέντος αὐτοῖς, Δέσποτα παντόκρατορ.

and the Life-giver was buried, that He might release from suffering and rescue from death those for whose sake He came, and might break the bonds of the devil, and deliver men from his deceit; and He rose from the dead on the third day; and having spent forty days with the disciples, He was taken up into the heavens, and was seated at the right hand of Thee, His God and Father. Remembering therefore the things which He endured for us, we give thanks to Thee, almighty God, not as much as we owe, but as much as we are able, and we fulfil His ordinance. For on the night in which He was being betrayed, having taken bread in His holy and blameless hands, and having looked up to Thee, His God and Father, and having broken it, He gave to the disciples, saying: "This is the mystery of the New Covenant: take of it, eat; this is My body, which is broken for many for the remission of sins"; likewise also, having mixed the cup of wine and water, and having sanctified it, He gave it to them, saying: "Drink of it, all of you; this is My blood, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins. Do this for My remembrance. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim My death, until I come." Remembering therefore His passion, and His death, and His resurrection from the dead, and His return into the heavens, and His second coming that is to be, in which He comes with glory and power to judge the living and the dead, and to render to each according to his works, we offer to Thee, the King and God, according to His ordinance, this bread and this cup, giving thanks to Thee through Him, because Thou hast counted us worthy to stand before Thee and to serve Thee as priests, and we beseech Thee that Thou wouldst look graciously upon these gifts set before Thee, Thou the God Who lackest nothing, and be well pleased with them to the honour of Thy Christ, and send down Thy Holy Spirit upon this sacrifice, the witness of the sufferings of the Lord Jesus, that He may show this bread to be the body of Thy Christ, and this cup the blood of Thy Christ, so that those who partake of it may be confirmed unto piety, may obtain remission of sins, may be delivered from the devil and his deceit, may be filled with the Holy Spirit, may become worthy of Thy Christ, may obtain eternal life, Thou being reconciled to them, almighty Master. Further we pray Thee, Lord, also for Thy holy Church which is from end

Erunt itaque hydrophobae vel hydrophobi, qui aquam reverentur. Hydrotheitas habes apud anonymum De haeresibus scriptorem a Sirmondo in lucem emissum, haeresi 75. COT.

"Having mixed the cup of wine and water." Against two heresies fighting from opposite sides: that of the Monophysites and Armenians, who use wine alone in the mysteries, and that of the Aquarians or Hydroparastatae, who use water alone. On these there is a noteworthy and varying reading at the law in the Novels of Theodosius, title 3, On the Jews: "Hydroparastatae" and "Hydrophobi"; the first in the Novels, the second as cited by Rabanus or another, chapter 47 of the book Against the Jews; which can be explained from Epiphanius where he treats of the Ebionites: for he teaches that those heretics held water as God, and poured it unmixed into the holy chalice. The "hydrophobae" or "hydrophobi", then, will be those who revere water. You have "Hydrotheitae" in the anonymous writer On Heresies brought to light by Sirmond, heresy 75. Cotelier.

ἕως περάτων, ἣν περιεποιήσω τῷ τιμίῳ αἵματι τοῦ Χριστοῦ σου, ὅπως αὐτὴν διαφυλάξῃς ἄσειστον καὶ ἀκλυδώνιστον, ἄχρι τῆς συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος· καὶ ὑπὲρ πάσης ἐπισκοπῆς τῆς ὀρθοτομούσης τὸν λόγον τῆς ἀληθείας. Ἔτι παρακαλοῦμέν σε καὶ ὑπὲρ τῆς ἐμῆς τοῦ προσφέροντός σοι οὐδενίας, καὶ ὑπὲρ παντὸς τοῦ πρεσβυτερίου, ὑπὲρ τῶν διακόνων καὶ παντὸς τοῦ κλήρου, ἵνα πάντας σοφίσας, Πνεύματος ἁγίου πληρώσῃς. Ἔτι παρακαλοῦμέν σε, Κύριε, ὑπὲρ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τῶν ἐν ὑπεροχῇ καὶ παντὸς τοῦ στρατοπέδου, ἵνα εἰρηνεύωνται τὰ πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ὅπως ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ καὶ ὁμονοίᾳ διάγοντες τὸν πάντα χρόνον τῆς ζωῆς ἡμῶν, δοξάζωμέν σε διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τῆς ἐλπίδος ἡμῶν. Ἔτι προσφέρομέν σοι καὶ ὑπὲρ πάντων τῶν ἀπ' αἰῶνος εὐαρεστησάντων σοι ἁγίων, πατριαρχῶν, προφητῶν, δικαίων, ἀποστόλων, μαρτύρων, ὁμολογητῶν, ἐπισκόπων, πρεσβυτέρων, διακόνων, ὑποδιακόνων, ἀναγνωστῶν, ψαλτῶν, παρθένων, χηρῶν, λαϊκῶν, καὶ πάντων ὧν αὐτὸς ἐπίστασαι τὰ ὀνόματα.

Ἔτι ἀξιοῦμέν σε καὶ ὑπὲρ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης καὶ τῶν ἐνοικούντων, ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐν ἀῤῥωστίαις, ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐν πικρᾷ δουλείᾳ, ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐν ἐξορίαις, ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐν δημεύσει, ὑπὲρ πλεόντων καὶ ὁδοιπορούντων· ὅπως ἐπίκουρος γένῃ πάντων βοηθὸς καὶ ἀντιλήπτωρ.

to end, which Thou hast acquired by the precious blood of Thy Christ, that Thou wouldst keep it unshaken and untossed by waves until the consummation of the age; and for the whole episcopate that rightly divides the word of truth. Further we entreat Thee also for my own nothingness, who am offering to Thee, and for the whole presbytery, for the deacons and all the clergy, that, having made all wise, Thou wouldst fill them with the Holy Spirit. Further we entreat Thee, Lord, for the king, and for those in high station, and for the whole army, that our affairs may be kept in peace, so that, passing the whole time of our life in quietness and concord, we may glorify Thee through Jesus Christ our hope. Further we offer to Thee also for all the saints who have been well-pleasing to Thee from the beginning of the age: patriarchs, prophets, righteous men, apostles, martyrs, confessors, bishops, presbyters, deacons, subdeacons, readers, singers, virgins, widows, lay people, and all whose names Thou Thyself knowest. Further we offer to Thee for this people, that Thou wouldst show it forth, to the praise of Thy Christ, a royal priesthood, a holy nation; for those in virginity and chastity, for the widows of the Church, for those in honourable marriage and childbearing, for the infants of Thy people, that Thou wouldst make none of us a castaway. Further we beseech Thee also for this city and those who dwell in it, for those in sicknesses, for those in bitter slavery, for those in exile, for those whose goods have been confiscated, for those who sail and those who travel by road; that Thou wouldst become the succourer, helper and protector of all. Further we entreat Thee also for those who hate us and persecute us for Thy name's sake, for those who are outside and have gone astray, that Thou wouldst turn them back to good and soften their anger. Further we entreat Thee also for the catechumens of the Church, and for those who are storm-tossed by the alien one, and for our brethren who are in penitence; that Thou wouldst perfect the first in the faith, and cleanse the second from the working of the evil one, and accept the repentance of the last, and forgive both them and us our transgressions. Further we offer to Thee also for the good tempering of the air and the fruitfulness of the crops; that, partaking without fail of the good things that come from Thee, we may praise Thee unceasingly, Who givest food to all flesh. Further we entreat Thee also for those who are absent for a reasonable cause; that, having preserved us all in piety, Thou wouldst gather us together in the kingdom of Thy Christ, the God of all sensible and intelligible nature, our King, unchanged, blameless, irreproachable; for to Thee is all glory, reverence and thanksgiving, honour and worship, to the Father,

Again and again let us pray to God through His Christ, for the gift that has been offered to the Lord God, that the good God may receive it, through the mediation of His Christ, upon His heavenly altar, for an odour of sweetness. For this Church and the people let us pray; for the whole episcopate, the whole presbytery, the whole diaconate and ministry in Christ, the whole fullness of the Church let us pray; that the Lord may preserve and guard all. For kings and those in high station let us pray; that our affairs may be kept in peace, so that, having a calm and quiet life, we may pass it in all piety and gravity. Let us remember the holy martyrs; that we may be counted worthy to become sharers in their contest. For those who have gone to rest in faith let us pray. For the good tempering of the airs and the ripening of the crops let us pray. For the newly enlightened let us pray; that they may be confirmed in the faith, let all be exhorted by others. Raise us up, O God, in Thy grace; having risen, let us commend ourselves to God through His Christ. And let the bishop say: O God, the great and great-named, great in counsel and mighty in works, the God and Father of Thy holy Servant Jesus our Saviour, look upon us and upon this Thy flock, which Thou hast chosen through Him to the glory of Thy name, and, having sanctified our body and soul, count us worthy, being made clean from every defilement of flesh and spirit, to obtain the good things set before us, and judge none of us unworthy, but be our helper, protector, defender, through Thy Christ; with Whom to Thee be glory, honour, praise, doxology, thanksgiving, and to the Holy Spirit, unto the ages. Amen. And after all have said Amen, let the deacon say: Let us attend. And let the bishop address the people thus: The holy things for the holy. And let the people answer: One is holy, one is Lord, one

Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord," God the Lord, and He has appeared to us; "Hosanna in the highest." And after this let the bishop partake, then the presbyters, and the deacons, and subdeacons, and the readers, and the singers, and the ascetics, and among the women the deaconesses, and the virgins, and the widows, then the children, and then all the people in order, with reverence and godly fear, without tumult. And let the bishop give the oblation, saying: The Body of Christ; and let him who receives say: Amen. And let the deacon hold the cup, and as he gives it let him say: The Blood of Christ, the cup of life; and let him who drinks say: Amen. And let the thirty-third psalm be said while all the rest are partaking. And when all the men and all the women have partaken, let the deacons take what is left over and carry it into the sacristies.

Οἱ ἀσκηταί. Non monachi ascetae; sed laici, in severioribus pietatis officiis sese exercentes: quales semper inter Christianos exstitisse dubitari non debet; ut et ecclesiasticas virgines, nequaquam moniales ascetrias. Nam opus, quod notis imus illustratum, ante exortum vitae monasticae conscriptum fuit: unde in eo nulla illius mentio, multa habenda, si per tempus licuisset. Vocabulorum autem ἀσκήσεως et ἀσκητῶν in austeriori vita absque monachatu tamen exempla sunt obvia. Ut, ταῦτα γνωστικῆς ἀσκήσεως προγυμνάσματα, apud Clementem Alexandrinum Strom. IV; τῶν ἐν ἡμῖν ἀσκητῶν, in Origene t. V, contra Celsum, p. 272. Consulenda ejusdem homilia 19 in Jeremiam, ultimae editionis p. 193. E; sic Hierosolymitano Cyrillo Catechesi 10, Anna prophetissa filia Phanuelis est ἀσκήτρια. Parique modo populus Alexandrinus, referente Alexandrina synodo, Athanasium in episcopum flagitans, appellabat ἕνα τῶν ἀσκητῶν. Et in Synopseos Athanasianae fine, Lucianus martyr vocatur magnus asceta. Haec plus satis. COT.

"The ascetics." Not monk-ascetics, but laymen exercising themselves in the stricter duties of piety: such as it ought not to be doubted have always existed among Christians; as also ecclesiastical virgins, by no means nun-ascetics. For the work which we are going on to illustrate with notes was written before the rise of the monastic life: hence there is no mention of it in it, though there would have been much, had the time allowed. But examples of the words ἄσκησις and ἀσκηταί used of a more austere life, yet without monasticism, are readily met. As, "these are the preliminary exercises of gnostic ascesis", in Clement of Alexandria, Stromata IV; "of the ascetics among us", in Origen, book V Against Celsus, p. 272. His homily 19 on Jeremiah should be consulted, p. 193 E of the latest edition; so in Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechesis 10, Anna the prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, is an ἀσκήτρια. And in like manner the people of Alexandria, as the Alexandrian synod reports, demanding Athanasius for bishop, called him "one of the ascetics". And at the end of the Athanasian Synopsis, Lucian the martyr is called a great ascetic. This is more than enough. Cotelier.

Καὶ ὁ μὲν ἐπίσκοπος. Dant corpus Christi, eucharisticum panem, jure ordinario sacerdotes, sive primi sive secundi ordinis, hoc est, episcopi aut presbyteri. Post mille scriptores Incertus a R. P. Francisco Combefisio editus De captivitate Persica, p. 346: Ἱερεῖς, οἱ τῶν σεραφὶμ μειζότερον ἀξίωμα περικείμενοι. Ἐκεῖνος οὐκ ἐτόλμησεν τῇ χειρὶ τοῦ ἄνθρακος ἅψασθαι, ἀλλ' ἐν τῇ λαβίδι τούτῳ προσέψαυσεν· σὺ δὲ ταῖς χερσίν σου ταῖς πηλίναις τὰ τοῖς σεραφὶμ ἄθικτα (hoc malim quam ἀθέατα) διαδιδοῖς μυστήρια. Sacerdotes, qui prae seraphim majorem dignitatem consecuti estis (Isa. VI, 6). Ille non ausus est carbonem manu contingere, sed eum forcipe strinxit: tu vero luteis tuis manibus, intacta seraphimis mysteria distribuis. Simili jure, dabant quoque diaconi tempore Justini martyris; cujus exstat insigne testimonium apologia 2; sed postea id potestatis restrictum fuit canone 15 concilii Arelatensis II, canone 38 Carthaginensis IV, Gelasii Decreto, etc. Lege S. Basilii epistolam 289; Hugo a S. Victore De sacramentis, cap. 38: Horum diaconorum officium est, corpus et sanguinem Domini distribuere; licet non ubique hoc observetur. Praetereo usum et abusum laicorum, repressamque quarumdam feminarum insolentiam; quae ab aliis fuse explicata sunt. ID.

"And let the bishop…" The body of Christ, the eucharistic bread, is given by ordinary right by priests, whether of the first or the second order, that is, bishops or presbyters. After a thousand writers, the Anonymous published by the Rev. Fr. François Combefis, On the Persian Captivity, p. 346: "Priests, you who have attained a dignity greater than the seraphim (Isa. 6:6). That one did not dare to touch the coal with his hand, but grasped it with the tongs: but you with your hands of clay distribute mysteries untouched by the seraphim" (I should prefer this, ἄθικτα, to ἀθέατα, "unseen"). By a like right deacons also used to give it in the time of Justin Martyr, of whom there is a notable testimony in Apology 2; but afterwards that power was restricted by canon 15 of the second council of Arles, canon 38 of the fourth of Carthage, the Decree of Gelasius, etc. Read St. Basil's letter 289; Hugh of St. Victor, On the Sacraments, ch. 38: "The office of these deacons is to distribute the body and blood of the Lord; although this is not observed everywhere." I pass over the use and abuse by the laity, and the insolence of certain women that was repressed; these things have been explained at length by others. The same.

In the mass of the Appendix to the Book of Sacraments of St. Gregory, p. 265, psalm 138 is sung at that point: "Lord, Thou hast searched me"; but in the Liturgy of Mark, psalm 41. Καὶ μεταλαμβάνει ὁ ἱερεὺς εὐχ. τῆς κατὰ φιλανθρωπίας ἄλλος. "As the hind longs for the spring." They read εὐχίτης and translate, "Then the priest partakes, another euchites, or pray-er, for loving-kindness.

Master, God the Almighty, the Father of Thy Christ, the blessed Servant, Who hearest those who call upon Thee with uprightness, Who knowest also the petitions of those who are silent: we give thanks to Thee that Thou hast counted us worthy to partake of Thy holy mysteries, which Thou hast bestowed on us for the full assurance of the things that have been rightly known, for the safeguarding of godliness, for the remission of offences; because the name of Thy Christ has been called upon us, and we have been made Thine own household. Thou Who hast separated us from the fellowship of the ungodly, unite us with those who are consecrated to Thee, establish us in the truth by the visitation of the Holy Spirit, reveal the things that are not known, fill up the things that are lacking, strengthen the things that have been known. Keep the priests blameless in Thy worship; preserve the kings in peace, the rulers in righteousness, the airs in good temperature, the fruits in fertility, the world in all-powerful providence. Tame the warlike nations; turn back those that have gone astray; sanctify Thy people; preserve those in virginity; keep those in marriage in faithfulness; strengthen those in chastity; bring the infants to full growth; confirm the newly initiated; instruct those in the catechumenate, and show them worthy of initiation; and gather us all together into the kingdom of the heavens, in Christ Jesus our Lord; with Whom to Thee be glory, honour and worship, and to the Holy Spirit, unto the ages. Amen. And let the deacon say: Bow down to God through His Christ, and receive the blessing. And let the bishop pray over them, saying: God the Almighty, the true and incomparable, Who art everywhere and art present to all things and art in nothing as a thing contained in it, Who art not circumscribed by places, Who dost not grow old with times, Who art not bounded by ages, Who art not led astray by words, Who art not subject to coming-to-be, Who needest no guarding, Who art above corruption, Who admittest no change, Who art by nature unalterable, Who dwellest in light unapproachable, Who art by nature invisible, Who art known to all the rational natures that seek Thee out with good will, Who art apprehended by those who seek after Thee in good will; the God of Israel, of him who truly sees, who has believed in Christ

Τῷ Θεῷ ["to God"]. The words τῷ μόνῳ ἀγεννήτῳ Θεῷ ["to the only unbegotten God"] are more correctly absent in the Vienna codex. Although they do not conflict with the received doctrine, they somehow smell of Arianism; for the Arians were often accustomed to speak thus, so as to hint at a difference of natures in the divine persons.

Rightly indeed, but he would have expressed the force of the word more aptly by πάσῃ τῇ γῇ ἀρκοῦντος, "sufficing for the whole earth". The same.

Now concerning the ordination of presbyters, I, the one loved by the Lord, ordain for you the bishops. When you ordain a presbyter, O bishop, lay your hand upon his head yourself, with the presbytery standing by you, and the deacons; and praying, say: Lord Almighty, our God, Who through Christ hast fashioned all things, and through Him dost provide for the whole in the fitting way. For He Who has power to make different things has power also to provide in different ways. For on this account, O God, Thou dost provide: for the immortal by guarding alone, and for the mortal by succession; for the soul by the care of laws, for the body by the filling up of its want. Do Thou Thyself therefore now also look upon Thy holy Church, and increase it, and multiply those who preside in it, and give them power to labour in word and deed for the building up of Thy people. Do Thou Thyself now also look upon this Thy servant, who by the vote and judgement of the whole clergy [has been given] to the presbytery

Ἀπολύεσθε ἐν εἰρήνῃ. Verbum ἀπολύειν hoc sensu solet usurpari. Atque ita sumo, p. 100 Ordinationum Graecarum, ubi de diaconissa: Μετὰ δὲ τὸ μεταλαβεῖν αὐτὴν ἐπιδίδωσιν αὐτῇ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ ἅγιον ποτήριον, ὅπερ δεχομένη οὐδενὶ μεταδίδωσιν ἐξ αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ' ἐν τῇ ἁγίᾳ τραπέζῃ ἀποτίθησι· καὶ ἀπολύει. Postquam autem ipsa communicavit, tradit ipsi sacerdos sanctum poculum; quod accipiens, nulli ex eo impertitur, sed in sancta mensa reponit: et dimittit. Hoc est, dat diaconissae veniam discedendi is qui ordinat. COT.

"Depart in peace." The verb ἀπολύειν is customarily used in this sense. And so I take it at p. 100 of the Greek Ordinations, where it treats of the deaconess: "And after she has communicated, the priest hands her the holy cup; receiving which, she imparts of it to no one, but sets it down on the holy table: and he dismisses." That is, the one who ordains gives the deaconess leave to depart. Cotelier.

Ὑποδιάκονον χειροτονῶν, ὦ ἐπίσκοπε, ἐπιθήσεις ἐπ' αὐτῷ τὰς χεῖρας, καὶ ἐρεῖς· Δέσποτα Θεὲ, οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς δημιουργὲ καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐν αὐτοῖς, ὁ καὶ ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ τοῦ μαρτυρίου τοὺς νεωκόρους ἀναδείξας τῶν ἁγίων σου σκευῶν φύλακας· αὐτὸς καὶ νῦν ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τὸν δοῦλόν σου τόνδε, τὸν προχειρισθέντα ὑποδιάκονον, καὶ δὸς αὐτῷ Πνεῦμα ἅγιον, πρὸς τὸ ἐπαξίως ἐφάπτεσθαι τῶν λειτουργικῶν σου σκευῶν, καὶ ποιεῖν τὸ θέλημά σου διαπαντὸς, διὰ τοῦ Χριστοῦ σου· μεθ' οὗ σοι δόξα, τιμὴ καὶ σέβας, καὶ τῷ ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι, εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. Ἀμήν.
Now concerning subdeacons, I Thomas ordain for you the bishops. When you ordain a subdeacon, O bishop, you shall lay your hands upon him, and shall say: Master, God, Fashioner of heaven and earth and of all things in them, Who also in the tent of the testimony didst appoint the temple-keepers as guardians of Thy holy vessels: do Thou Thyself now also look upon this Thy servant, who has been appointed subdeacon, and give him the Holy Spirit, that he may worthily handle Thy liturgical vessels, and do Thy will always, through Thy Christ; with Whom to Thee be glory, honour and worship, and to the Holy Spirit, unto the ages. Amen.

Ματθαῖος, ὁ καὶ Λευίς. Consentiunt antiqui et recentiores, id recte ex Evangeliorum comparatione colligentes. Etiam Origenes, cum loco relato in Catena Matthaei, tum praefatione explanationis in Epistolam ad Romanos. Quocirca ejus locus tom. I in Celsum, p. 48, a docto Scripturarum interprete Hugone Grotio objectus: Ἔστω δὲ καὶ ὁ Λεβὴς τελώνης ἀκολουθήσας τῷ Ἰησοῦ· ἀλλ' οὔτι γε τοῦ ἀριθμοῦ τῶν ἀποστόλων αὐτοῦ ἦν, εἰ μὴ κατά τινα τῶν ἀντιγράφων τοῦ κατὰ Μάρκον Εὐαγγελίου. Sit et Levi publicanus, qui Jesum secutus est: non erat tamen ex apostolorum numero, nisi juxta quaedam exemplaria secundum Marcum Evangelii. Explicandus videtur per concessionem, ac de nomine, hoc in sensu: Detur Levin publicanum asseclam Christi, alium esse a Matthaeo pariter publicano: at nomen Levis in Catalogis apostolorum non exstat, si excipias quosdam Marci evangelistae codices. Qui codices, ni fallor, cap. 3, vers. 18, Levin Alphaei, non Jacobum Alphaei exhibebant, aut potius Λεβήν pro Λεββαῖον· quemadmodum in editione Graeca Theodoriti Quaestionum, quaest. 16, in Numeros, habetur Θαδδαῖος, ὁ καὶ Λεβί, ubi in Graeco-Latino, Θαδδαῖος, ὁ καὶ Λεββαῖος. Graeci posteriores Λευαῖον dicunt. Opponit adhuc Grotius Heracleonem Valentinianum haereticum, cui in Clementis Alexandrini Stromat. IV, p. 502, Ματθαῖος et Λευίς duo sunt. Sed forsan ab Heracleone non intelligitur Levi publicanus, Marc. II, 14, et Luc. V, 27, memoratus; intelligitur autem Levi Lebbaeus, ut dictum est. Certe auctor Laterculi apostolorum supra positi ad libri II finem, Levin τὸν καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον confundit cum Lebbaeo, qui et Thaddaeus ac Judas Jacobi. Atque ita defendi possunt Origenes et Heracleon. Verum excusationem nullam admittit quod in codice 1048, uno e multis Regiis Commentariorum Victoris Antiocheni in Marci Evangelium, nactus sum, ad textum laudatum II, 14: Μάρκος μὲν καὶ Λουκᾶς συγκαλύπτουσι τὸ ὄνομα τῇ ἀρχαίᾳ προσηγορίᾳ. Αὐτὸς δὲ Ματθαῖος εὐαγγελιζόμενος τὰ καθ' ἑαυτὸν ἀπαγγέλλων λέγει· Καὶ ἐθεάσατο Ματθαῖον τὸν τελώνην. (continues)

"Matthew, who is also Levi." Ancients and moderns agree, rightly gathering this from a comparison of the Gospels. Origen too, both in the passage reported in the Catena on Matthew and in the preface of his exposition of the Epistle to the Romans. Hence his passage in book I Against Celsus, p. 48, raised as an objection by the learned interpreter of the Scriptures Hugo Grotius — "Let Levi too be a tax-collector who followed Jesus: yet he was not of the number of His apostles, except according to certain copies of the Gospel according to Mark" — seems to need explaining as a concession, and as concerning the name, in this sense: Grant that Levi the tax-collector, a follower of Christ, is other than Matthew, likewise a tax-collector: still the name of Levi does not stand in the catalogues of the apostles, if you except certain codices of Mark the evangelist. Which codices, unless I am mistaken, at chapter 3, verse 18, showed Levi of Alphaeus, not James of Alphaeus, or rather Λεβήν for Λεββαῖον; just as in the Greek edition of Theodoret's Questions, question 16 on Numbers, there stands "Thaddaeus, who is also Levi", where the Greek-Latin has "Thaddaeus, who is also Lebbaeus". The later Greeks say Λευαῖος. Grotius further opposes Heracleon the Valentinian heretic, for whom, in Clement of Alexandria's Stromata IV, p. 502, Matthew and Levi are two. But perhaps Heracleon does not mean Levi the tax-collector mentioned in Mark 2:14 and Luke 5:27; he means rather Levi Lebbaeus, as has been said. Certainly the author of the List of the apostles placed above at the end of book II confuses Levi "who sat at the tax-office" with Lebbaeus, who is also Thaddaeus and Judas of James. And so Origen and Heracleon can be defended. But no excuse is admitted by what I came upon in codex 1048, one of the many Royal codices of the Commentaries of Victor of Antioch on the Gospel of Mark, at the cited text 2:14: "Mark and Luke veil the name under the old appellation. But Matthew himself, in telling the gospel and reporting what concerns himself, says: 'And He saw Matthew the tax-collector.'" (continues)

Thou Who didst make wise Ezra Thy servant for the reading of Thy laws to Thy people, now also, being entreated by us, make wise Thy servant, and grant him, having accomplished uncondemned the work put into his hands, to be shown worthy of a higher rank; through Christ, with Whom to Thee be the glory and the worship, and to the Holy Spirit, unto the ages.

ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ ΚΓʹ. Ἰακώβου τοῦ Ἀλφαίου περὶ ὁμολογητῶν διάταξις.
CHAPTER XXIII. The ordinance of James the son of Alphaeus concerning confessors.
Ἰάκωβος δὲ ὁ Ἀλφαίου, κἀγὼ διατάσσομαι περὶ ὁμολογητῶν. Ὁμολογητὴς οὐ χειροτονεῖται· γνώμης γὰρ τοῦτο καὶ ὑπομονῆς δὲ μεγάλης ἐπάξιος, ὡς ὁμολογήσας τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον ἐθνῶν καὶ βασιλέων. Ἐὰν δὲ χρεία αὐτοῦ ᾖ εἰς ἐπίσκοπον, ἢ πρεσβύτερον, ἢ διάκονον, χειροτονεῖται. Εἰ δέ τις ὁμολογητὴς, μὴ χειροτονηθεὶς, ἁρπάσῃ ἑαυτῷ ἀξίωμά τι τοιοῦτον, ὡς διὰ τὴν ὁμολογίαν, οὗτος καθαιρείσθω καὶ ἀποβαλλέσθω· οὐ γάρ ἐστιν· ἐπείπερ ἤρνηται τὴν Χριστοῦ διάταξιν, καὶ ἔστιν ἀπίστου χείρων.
And I too, James the son of Alphaeus, ordain concerning confessors. A confessor is not ordained; for this is a matter of will and endurance, but he is worthy of great [honour], as one who has confessed the name of God and of His Christ before nations and kings. But if there is need of him for a bishop, or presbyter, or deacon, he is ordained. But if any confessor, not having been ordained, seizes for himself some such dignity, as on account of his confession, let him be deposed and cast out; for he is not one, since he has denied the ordinance of Christ, and is worse than an unbeliever.

Ex constitutione vir multae doctrinae Joannes Morinus De sacris ordinationibus, exercitatione 11, cap. 2, n. ult., concludere nititur, confessores ordinatos fuisse in diaconos et presbyteros, absque susceptione inferiorum graduum; itemque exorcistas, ex Constitut. cap. 26, conclusurus eodem modo de episcopatu, si voluisset: cum nihil tale noster.

"But if there is need", etc. Confessors were customarily advanced to the honours of sacred orders, as Cyprian attests, letters 33, 34, 35; and before him Tertullian, Against the Valentinians [printed "Valentianos"], ch. 4. His passage, being memorable and short, I will set down: "Valentinus had hoped for the episcopate, because he was able both in talent and in eloquence; but, indignant that another had obtained the place by the prerogative of martyrdom, he broke away from the Church of the authentic rule." From this constitution that man of great learning Jean Morin, On Sacred Ordinations, exercitation 11, ch. 2, last number, strives to conclude that confessors were ordained deacons and presbyters without receiving the lower grades; and likewise exorcists, from Constitutions ch. 26 — and he would have concluded the same of the episcopate, had he wished: whereas our author says nothing of the kind.

CHAPTER XXV. The ordinance of Lebbaeus, surnamed Thaddaeus, concerning widows.
Κἀγὼ Λεββαῖος ὁ ἐπικληθεὶς Θαδδαῖος, τάδε περὶ χηρῶν διατάσσομαι. Χήρα οὐ χειροτονεῖται· ἀλλ' εἰ μὲν ἐκ πολλοῦ ἀπέβαλε τὸν ἄνδρα, καὶ σωφρόνως καὶ ἀκαταγνώστως ἔζησε, καὶ τῶν οἰκείων ἄριστα ἐπεμελήθη, ὡς Ἰουδὶθ καὶ Ἄννα, αἱ σεμνόταται, κατατασσέσθω εἰς τὸ χηρικόν. Εἰ δὲ νεωστὶ ἀπέβαλε τὸν ὁμόζυγον, μὴ πιστευέσθω, ἀλλὰ χρόνῳ νεότης κρινέσθω. Τὰ γὰρ πάθη ἔσθ' ὅτε καὶ συγγηρᾷ ἀνθρώποις, εἰ μὴ ὑπὸ κρείττονος χαλινοῦ εἰργόμεθα.
And I, Lebbaeus, surnamed Thaddaeus, ordain these things concerning widows. A widow is not ordained; but if she lost her husband long ago, and has lived soberly and uncondemned, and has taken the best care of her household, as Judith and Anna, those most reverend women, let her be enrolled in the order of widows. But if she has lately lost her yokefellow, let her not be trusted, but let her youth be judged by time. For the passions sometimes even grow old with human beings, unless we are held in by a stronger bridle.

Εὐνοίας γὰρ ἑκουσίου τὸ ἔπαθλον, καὶ χάριτος Θεοῦ διὰ Χριστοῦ, ἐπιφοιτήσει τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος· ὁ γὰρ λαβὼν χάρισμα ἰαμάτων, δι' ἀποκαλύψεως ὑπὸ Θεοῦ ἀναδείκνυται, φανερᾶς οὔσης πᾶσι τῆς ἐν αὐτῷ χάριτος. Ἐὰν δὲ χρεία αὐτοῦ γένηται εἰς ἐπίσκοπον, ἢ πρεσβύτερον, ἢ διάκονον, χειροτονεῖται.
I the same ordain concerning an exorcist. An exorcist is not ordained. For the prize belongs to voluntary good will, and to the grace of God through Christ, by the visitation of the Holy Spirit; for he who has received a gift of healings is shown forth by God through revelation, the grace that is in him being manifest to all. But if there comes to be need of him for a bishop, or presbyter, or deacon, he is ordained.

Among the many decrees pertaining to these widows there is also canon 27 of the first council of Orange, reading thus in Sirmond's edition: … "Concerning professed widows, if they marry or are carried off. … That the profession of keeping widowhood, made before the bishop in the secretarium, is to be signified by the widow's garment put on by the bishop. But that the abductors of such women, or the woman herself who deserts such a profession, is deservedly to be condemned." Where another will explain "indicandam" ["to be signified"]: but I shall change it to "vindicandam" ["to be upheld"], in place of which the other editions have "non esse violandam" ["is not to be violated"]; and I shall read, "the widow's garment having been put on by the bishop, is to be upheld".

Ἐπορκιστής. Initio fungebantur hoc munere omnes Christiani. In Tertulliano De idololatria, cap. 11: Quo ore Christianus thurarius, si per templa transibit, fumantes aras despuet, et exsufflabit, quibus ipse prospexit? qua constantia exorcizabit alumnos suos, quibus domum suam cellarium praestat? Ille quidem si excluserit daemonium, non sibi placeat de fide, neque enim inimicum exclusit; facile debuit de eo impetrare quem quotidie pascit. Quem locum e multis unum selegi, ut indicarem cujusdam viri docti jocularem errorem: quod Tertullianus illic doceat, solitos a parentibus exorcizari proprios filios: quasi per alumnos, Afrorum doctissimus intelligeret liberos; cum ita vocet daemones, quod mercibus thurarii pascerentur. Idem Septimius De praescriptione haereticorum, cap. 41, procacitatem mulierum haereticarum insectatur, quae exorcismos agere audebant. Postea charisma expellendi daemones paucioribus a Deo concessum est, sive ex clero, sive de plebe: Origenes, lib. VII, contra Celsum, paulo post initium. Atque hos solos exorcistas agnoscebat Ecclesia pseudo-Clementis nostri, carens, instar plurimarum, exorcistis certo genere clericorum. COT.

"Exorcist." In the beginning all Christians performed this office. In Tertullian, On Idolatry, ch. 11: "With what face will a Christian incense-seller, if he passes through the temples, spit upon and blow away the smoking altars for which he himself has provided? With what constancy will he exorcize his own nurslings, to whom he offers his own house as a larder? If indeed he casts out a demon, let him not be pleased with himself about his faith, for he has not cast out an enemy; he ought easily to obtain it from one whom he feeds daily." This one passage out of many I have picked out to point out the laughable error of a certain learned man: that Tertullian there teaches that parents were accustomed to exorcize their own sons — as though by "alumni" the most learned of the Africans meant children; whereas he so calls the demons, because they were fed by the incense-seller's wares. The same Septimius, On the Prescription of Heretics, ch. 41, attacks the forwardness of heretical women who dared to perform exorcisms. Afterwards the charism of expelling demons was granted by God to fewer, whether of the clergy or of the people: Origen, book VII Against Celsus, a little after the beginning. And these alone the Church of our pseudo-Clement recognized as exorcists, lacking, like very many churches, exorcists as a fixed class of clerics. Cotelerius.

a bishop ought to be ordained. Let a bishop be ordained by three or two bishops. But if anyone is ordained by one bishop, let him be deposed, both he himself and the one who ordained him. But if necessity overtakes [him] to be ordained by one, because more cannot be present, there being persecution or some other such cause, let him bring the vote of authorization of more bishops.

Παρὰ δὲ πρεσβυτέρων οὐδαμῶς. Sine ulla contradictione, quod minus est, a meliore benedicitur. Hebr. VII, 7. Additur a Nicolao papa, epist. 8, nullum jus inferiores habere ut benedicant praepositis suis. Interdum tamen per humilitatem majores minoribus virtute praestantibus caput submittebant. Ut de quodam sancto monacho refertur apud Severum, dialogo 1, cap. 14: Episcopi quoque sanctissimi, inquit, sacerdotali auctoritate deposita, contingi se ab eo, atque benedici humiliter postulantes, sanctificatos se, ac divino munere illustratos, quoties manum illius vestemque contigerant, non immerito crediderunt. COT.

"But from presbyters by no means." "Without any contradiction, what is less is blessed by the better", Hebrews 7:7. Pope Nicholas adds, letter 8, that inferiors have no right to bless those set over them. Yet at times, out of humility, the greater bowed their heads to lesser men who excelled in virtue. As is related of a certain holy monk in Severus, dialogue 1, ch. 14: "Most holy bishops too," he says, "laying aside their priestly authority, humbly asking to be touched and blessed by him, believed, not without reason, that they were sanctified and enlightened by a divine gift whenever they had touched his hand and garment."

ALEXANDER, presbyteris et diaconis Alexandriae atque Mareotae praesens praesentibus, dilectis fratribus in Domino salutem. Licet jam subscripseritis illis quae ad Arium et Arianos misi, adhortans eos ad negandam impietatem et ad assentiendum sanae atque catholicae fidei, rectamque sententiam vestram ostenderitis, necnon in dogmatibus consonantiam cum Ecclesia catholica; tamen quia et ad omnes ubique terrarum comministros de Ariana secta litteras dedi, necessarium censui, ut vos quidem civitatis clericos congregarem, vos vero qui de Mareota estis arcesserem, praecipue cum ex vobis quoque Chares et Pistus presbyteri, Serapio, Parammon, Zosimus et Irenaeus diaconi, Arianos assectati fuerint, atque cum illis deponi voluerint; quo tum quae nunc scriptis mandata sunt cognoscatis, tum vestrum in iis consensum demonstretis, itemque Arii, Pisti, sociorumque depositioni suffragemini. Decet enim vos quae a me scripta sunt scire, et unumquemque ea quasi a se essent exarata, corde retinere. — Vide Lambecium Biblioth. Caesar., lib. III, ms. 57, pag. 87. COT.

"A bishop deposes every cleric." That this was the original right we learn also from Cyprian's letter 65, and Jerome's 53 and 61. But it was afterwards curtailed, on account of the tyrannical licence of some: according to the pronouncement of the second council of Seville, "A bishop alone can give honour to priests and ministers; alone he cannot take it away", canon 6 — the end of which canon is read in a mutilated and corrupt form in Regino, Appendix 1, ch. 31, thus: "Sed praestanti synodali judicio quod canon de illis praeceperit"; for "but, when they have been presented to the synod's judgement, what the canon has prescribed concerning them [can] be determined" (supply "poterit" from what precedes). For the rest, concerning the most famous deposition of the presbyter Arius and his companions, having come upon an unpublished address of Alexander of Alexandria in the King's Library, codex 2417, I judged it most worthy to be appended here. "The Deposition of Arius and those with him, by Alexander, archbishop of Alexandria. Alexander, present in person, to the presbyters and deacons of Alexandria and the Mareotis, likewise present, beloved brothers, greeting in the Lord. Although you have already subscribed to what I sent to Arius and his party, urging them [perhaps read αὐτούς] to renounce their impiety and to be persuaded by the sound and catholic faith, and have shown your own right purpose and your agreement in doctrine with the catholic Church; yet since I have also written to our fellow ministers everywhere about Arius and his party, I thought it necessary to gather you, the clergy of the city, and to send for you who are from the Mareotis — especially because from among you too Chares and Pistus, presbyters, and Sarapion, Parammon, Zosimus and Irenaeus, deacons, have followed Arius and his party and have been content to be deposed with them — so that you may both know what is now being written and show your own agreement in it, and give your vote together for the deposition of Arius and his party and of Pistus and his. For it is fitting that you know what is written by me, and that each hold it in his heart as though written by himself." See Lambeck, Imperial Library, book III, ms. 57, page 87. Cotelier.

who rank beneath him, if they are liable to such a punishment. A deacon does not bless, he does not give a blessing, but he receives it from bishop and presbyter; he does not baptize; he does not offer, but when the bishop or the presbyter has offered, he himself distributes to the people, not as a priest, but as one ministering to priests. And to none of the other clerics is it permitted to do the work of the deacon. A deaconess does not bless; nor indeed does she perform anything of what the presbyters or the deacons do, except to keep the doors, and to assist the presbyters when the women are baptized, for the sake of decency. A deacon separates a subdeacon, a reader, a singer, a deaconess, if there is any such occasion when no presbyter is present. A subdeacon is not permitted to separate, neither indeed a reader, nor a singer, nor a deaconess, not a cleric, not a layman. For they are servants of the deacons.

And concerning water and oil, I Matthew make ordinance. Let the bishop bless the water, or the oil; but if he is not present, let the presbyter bless, the deacon standing by. But whenever the bishop is present, let the presbyter and the deacon stand by; and let him say thus: Lord Sabaoth, God of the powers, Creator of the waters and Supplier of the oil, compassionate and Lover of mankind, Who hast given water for drinking and cleansing, and oil to make the face cheerful unto the exultation of gladness; do Thou Thyself now also through Christ sanctify this water and oil, in the name of him who has brought it, or of her who has brought it, and grant a power productive of health, driving away diseases, putting demons to flight, chasing off every plot, through Christ our hope; with Whom to Thee be glory, honour and reverence, and to the Holy Spirit, unto the ages. Amen.

Αἱ γὰρ ἀπαρχαὶ τῶν ἱερέων εἰσὶ, καὶ τῶν αὐτοῖς ἐξυπηρετουμένων διακόνων.
I the same, concerning firstfruits and tithes. Further I command that every firstfruit be brought to the bishop and to the presbyters and to the deacons, for their sustenance; and that every tithe be offered for the sustenance of the rest of the clerics, and of the virgins, and of the widows, and of those who are tried in poverty. For the firstfruits belong to the priests, and to the deacons who assist them.

CHAPTER XXXI. Of the same, concerning what is left over.
Ὁ αὐτὸς, περὶ περισσευμάτων διατάσσομαι. Τὰς περισσευούσας ἐν τοῖς μυστικοῖς εὐλογίας, κατὰ γνώμην τοῦ ἐπισκόπου ἢ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων οἱ διάκονοι διανεμέτωσαν τῷ κλήρῳ· τῷ ἐπισκόπῳ μέρη τέσσαρα, πρεσβυτέρῳ μέρη τρία, διακόνῳ μέρη δύο· τοῖς δὲ ἄλλοις, ὑποδιακόνοις, ἢ ἀναγνώσταις, ἢ ψάλταις, ἢ διακονίσσαις, μέρος ἕν. Τοῦτο γὰρ καλὸν καὶ ἀπόδεκτον ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἕκαστον τιμᾶσθαι κατὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ ἀξίαν· ἡ γὰρ Ἐκκλησία οὐκ ἀταξίας, ἀλλ' εὐταξίας ἐστὶ διδασκαλεῖον.
I the same make ordinance concerning what is left over. The blessed gifts that are left over at the mysteries let the deacons, according to the judgement of the bishop or of the presbyters, distribute to the clergy: to the bishop four parts, to a presbyter three parts, to a deacon two parts; and to the others, subdeacons, or readers, or singers, or deaconesses, one part. For this is good and acceptable before God, that each be honoured according to his own dignity; for the Church is a school not of disorder, but of good order.

Κἀγὼ Παῦλος ὁ τῶν ἀποστόλων ἐλάχιστος, τάδε διατάσσομαι ὑμῖν τοῖς ἐπισκόποις καὶ πρεσβυτέροις, περὶ κανόνων. Οἱ πρώτως προσιόντες τῷ μυστηρίῳ τῆς εὐσεβείας, διὰ τῶν διακόνων προσαγέσθωσαν τῷ ἐπισκόπῳ ἢ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις· καὶ τὰς αἰτίας ἐξεταζέσθωσαν, οὗ χάριν προσῆλθον τῷ Κυριακῷ λόγῳ· οἵ τε προσενεγκόντες μαρτυρείτωσαν αὐτοῖς, ἀκριβώσαντες τὰ κατ' αὐτούς. Ἐξεταζέσθωσαν δὲ αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ τρόποι, καὶ ὁ βίος, καὶ εἰ δοῦλοί εἰσιν ἢ ἐλεύθεροι. Καὶ ἐὰν πιστοῦ δοῦλος ᾖ, ἐρωτάσθω ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ, εἰ μαρτυρεῖ αὐτῷ· ἐὰν δὲ μὴ, ἀποβαλλέσθω, ἕως ἂν ἑαυτὸν ἄξιον ἐπιδείξῃ τῷ δεσπότῃ· εἰ δὲ μαρτυρεῖ αὐτῷ, προσδεχέσθω. Εἰ δὲ ἐθνικοῦ ᾖ οἰκέτης, διδασκέσθω εὐαρεστεῖν τῷ δεσπότῃ, ἵνα μὴ βλασφημῆται ὁ Λόγος. Εἰ μὲν οὖν ἔχει γυναῖκα, ἢ ἡ γυνὴ ἄνδρα, διδασκέσθωσαν ἀρκεῖσθαι ἑαυτοῖς· εἰ δ' ἄγαμοί εἰσι, μανθανέτωσαν μὴ πορνεύειν, ἀλλὰ γαμεῖν νόμῳ. Εἰ δ' ὁ δεσπότης αὐτοῦ πιστὸς ὢν, καὶ εἰδὼς ὅτι πορνεύει, οὐ δίδωσιν αὐτῷ γυναῖκα, ἢ τῇ γυναικὶ ἄνδρα, ἀφοριζέσθω.

And I Paul, the least of the apostles, make these ordinances for you, the bishops and presbyters, concerning canons. Let those who are first coming forward to the mystery of godliness be brought by the deacons to the bishop or to the presbyters; and let the reasons be examined for which they have come to the word of the Lord; and let those who have brought them bear witness to them, having accurately ascertained what concerns them. And let their manners also be examined, and their life, and whether they are slaves or free. And if he is the slave of a believer, let his master be asked whether he bears witness to him; and if not, let him be rejected, until he shows himself worthy to his master; but if he bears witness to him, let him be received. But if he is the household slave of a heathen, let him be taught to be well-pleasing to his master, that the Word may not be blasphemed. If, then, he has a wife, or the woman a husband, let them be taught to be content with each other; but if they are unmarried, let them learn not to commit fornication, but to marry by law. But if his master, being a believer, and knowing that he commits fornication, does not give him a wife, or a husband to the woman, let him be separated. And if anyone has a demon, let him indeed be taught godliness, but let him not be received into communion before he has been cleansed; but if death

In Socrates, History, book VII, ch. 2, of Chrysanthus the Novatian bishop: "From the churches he accepted nothing, except that he took two loaves of the eulogiae each Lord's day." "What is offered by way of sacrifice, after what is consumed for the use of the mysteries, let the clerics divide", etc., is canon 7 of Theophilus of Alexandria; on which it will be worth while to consult Theodore Balsamon.

"Into communion." That is, into the fellowship of the faithful through baptism, as will be plain to the reader. Those monks in Balsamon, p. 229, are therefore mistaken who take it of eucharistic communion, putting this question to the synod of Constantinople held under the patriarch Nicholas: "Whether a demoniac ought to partake of the sacraments. For Saint Timothy, in the Questions put to him, said one thing (question 3), the holy apostles another, and the more recent writers another." The baptism of energumens is also treated in canon 37 of Elvira; question 2 of the said Timothy, p. 1060 of Balsamon; canon 15 of the first council of Orange; and ch. 76 of the Capitulary of Atto, vol.

Ἡνίοχος. Ad hunc canonem, et Eliberitanum, ac Arelatenses, apposite adjungetur elegans Historia ex Vita Hilarionis per Hieronymum: Auriga Gazensis, in curru percussus a daemone, totus obriguit, ita ut nec manus agitare, nec cervicem posset reflectere. Delatus ergo in lecto, cum solam linguam moveret ad preces, audivit non prius posse sanari, quam crederet in Jesum, et se sponderet arti pristinae renuntiaturum. Credidit, spopondit, sanatus est, magisque de animae quam de corporis salute exsultavit. Augustinus, De opere monachorum, cap. 13: Nec effractor aut latro erat, nec auriga, aut venator, aut histrio, aut turpilucrus. Tertullianum praetereo, cum aliis. COT.

"Charioteer." To this canon, and that of Elvira, and those of Arles, a choice story from Jerome's Life of Hilarion will be aptly joined: "A charioteer of Gaza, struck by a demon in his chariot, grew wholly rigid, so that he could neither move his hands nor bend his neck. Carried therefore on a bed, since he could move only his tongue for prayers, he heard that he could not be healed before he believed in Jesus and pledged himself to renounce his former craft. He believed, he pledged, he was healed, and he rejoiced more over the health of his soul than of his body." Augustine, On the Work of Monks, ch. 13: "He was neither a housebreaker nor a robber, nor a charioteer, nor a beast-fighter, nor an actor, nor a seeker of base gain." I pass over Tertullian, with others. Cotelier.

Est aut lanista, qui Glossis λουδοτρόφος, aut potius ludi procurator, ut appellatur a Tacito, is cui ludorum ac munerum publicorum cura credita est. Lexicon Favorini: Λουδεμπιστής, ὁ ἄρχων τῶν παιγνίων. Λοῦδοι γὰρ τὰ παίγνια παρὰ Ῥωμαίοις. Hinc glossa marginalis libri Regii 2392, ad locum Constitutionum, quantum fugientem scripturam assequi mihi licuit: τουτέστι ὁ πρῶτος τῶν παιγνιωτῶν, ὁ καί τινα θεάματα ποιῶν πρὸς γέλωτα, λοῦδα τοῖς Ῥωμαίοις εἰρημένα. Vide supra Constit. lib. V. Nimirum errant Graeci, qui ad libidinem hoc vocis trahunt. In Lexico Stephani apud Meursium: Λουδεμπιστής, ἀῤῥητοποιός. Et ms. Regio 2392: Λουδεμπιστής, ἑρμηνεύεται ὁ διακοριστής, ἤγουν ὁ παρθενοφθόρος· λοῦδος γὰρ παρὰ τῇ Ῥωμαίων διαλέκτῳ ἡ φθορά. ID.

Λουδεμπιστής. (In Royal codex 772, which contains "words from the Constitutions", with the acute on the penultimate, λουδεμπίστης.) He is either a trainer of gladiators, who in the Glosses is λουδοτρόφος, or rather the "procurator of the games", as Tacitus calls him — the one to whom the care of the games and public shows was entrusted. The Lexicon of Favorinus: "Λουδεμπιστής, the director of the games. For games are called ludi among the Romans." Hence the marginal gloss of Royal book 2392 on the passage of the Constitutions, as far as I was able to make out the fading writing: "that is, the chief of the players, the one who also puts on certain shows to raise laughter, called luda by the Romans." See above, Constitutions book V. Clearly the Greeks err who drag this word towards lust. In the Lexicon of Stephanus in Meursius: "Λουδεμπιστής, a doer of unspeakable things." And in Royal ms. 2392: "Λουδεμπιστής is interpreted as the deflowerer, that is, the corrupter of virgins; for in the Roman tongue ludus is corruption." The same.

"Cithara-player, or lyre-player." Helladius notes, in Photius, Bibliotheca, the last codex but one, that the Greeks say κιθάρα and κιθαριστής, and say λύρα, but do not say λυριστής. This holds of early Greece, for afterwards λυριστής too was in use. The old Greek-Latin Lexicon: "Λυριστής, fidicinarius." In like manner the Latins of the middle age use "lyristes". Hence "lyristria" in Augustine, Against Julian III, ch. 11. The same.

Λώταξ. Docente Eustathio, qui circa lotum laborabat, λώταξ dicebatur. Id vero hominum genus, quia vile fuit, malum, ac erroneum, eapropter λώταγες dicti mendici vagantes atque nebulones. Οὐχ ὁρᾷς τούτους τοὺς προσαιτοῦντας, οὓς λώταγας ἡμῖν ἔθος καλεῖν; πῶς περιΐασι, πῶς καὶ αὐτοὺς ἐλεοῦμεν; ἀλλ' ὅμως τούτοις οὐδὲ συγγνώμη τίς ἐστιν. Οὐδὲ γὰρ συγγινώσκομεν αὐτοῖς ὅταν κυβεύοντες ἑαυτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια ἀπολλύωσι. Non vides hos mendicos, quos solemus vocare lotagas? quomodo circumeant, quomodo etiam eorum misereamur? Sed tamen iis non datur ulla venia. Neque enim iis ignoscimus, quando alea ludentes, suas vestes perdunt. Chrysostomus, homilia 13 in Epistolam ad Ephesios. In Scholiis nostris ad λώταξ adnotatur, si bene tantum non deleta lego: Καὶ οἷόν τις παιγνιώτης θυμελικὸς δι' εὐτραπελίαν γέλωτα ποιῶν. At alterius Graeci eodem in ms. 2392, alibi observatio est: Ἡ δὲ λώταξ φωνὴ ποιά τίς ἐστιν ἐκ τοῦ ἀποτελουμένου λεγομένη. Ἔστι δὲ τοιοῦτόν τι τὸ λεγόμενον· ἐπιδεικνύμενοί τινες τὸ παλαιὸν τὴν πρὸς ἀλλήλους ἀγάπην, βοκόλια (lege aut intellige βαυκάλια) στρογγύλα πληροῦντες οἴνου, εἰς ὕψος ἀνέπεμπον.

Λώταξ. As Eustathius teaches, one who worked with the lotus was called a λώταξ. But because that class of men was cheap, bad and vagrant, wandering beggars and good-for-nothings were for that reason called λώταγες. "Do you not see these beggars, whom we are accustomed to call lotages? How they go about, how we even pity them? And yet for these there is no pardon at all. For we do not forgive them when, playing at dice, they lose their own clothes." Chrysostom, homily 13 on the Epistle to the Ephesians. In our Scholia at λώταξ it is noted, if I read rightly what is all but erased: "And, as it were, a stage buffoon raising laughter by jesting." But there is elsewhere, in the same ms. 2392, an observation of another Greek: "The word λώταξ is a sort of term taken from the result. What is meant is something like this: certain people of old, displaying their love for one another, would fill round βοκόλια (read or understand βαυκάλια, 'flasks') with wine and toss them up on high. And if any sound was made as the little vessel went up, they took this for a sign of love, measuring its amount by the quality of the sound." The Lexicon of Favorinus: "Λώταξ, the robber, or one anointed with perfumes, or one who squanders his life in shameful things, like the fornicator and the effeminate, or the flute-player", etc. Another Greek-Latin Lexicon, Royal codex 85: "Λωτοφάγοι, those living delicately." In Hesychius: "Λωτός: a kind of sweetmeat, and a flute", etc. The same.

Συμβολοδείκτης. Commemorat S. Gregorius Nyssenus συμβολομαντείας, in Epistola de Pythonissa: οἰωνοσκοπίας, συμβολομαντείας, χρηστήρια, ἢ πατοσκοπίας, νεκυίας, ἐνθουσιασμούς, κατὰ κωλὰς ἐμπνεύσεις, quo loci doctissimus interpres frustra sollicitat κατὰ κωλάς, ut substituat κατακωχάς numinis instinctus, κατὰ κωλάς enim per pudenda significat. Auguria, divinationes per symbola, oracula, aruspicia, mortuorum evocationes, furiosos afflatus, per pudenda inspirationes. Aperta sunt verba Origenis, tom. III in Celsum: Διὰ τοῦ Πυθίου στομίου περικαθεζομένη τῇ καλουμένῃ προφήτιδι πνεῦμα διὰ τῶν γυναικείων ὑπεισέρχεται τὸ μαντικὸν ὁ Ἀπόλλων τὸ καθαρὸν ἀπὸ γηΐνου σώματος.

"An interpreter of omens." St. Gregory of Nyssa mentions συμβολομαντεῖαι in the Letter on the Pythoness: "auguries, divinations by omens, oracles, inspections of livers [printed ἢ πατοσκοπίας], evocations of the dead, frenzies, inspirations κατὰ κωλάς" — at which place the most learned translator needlessly tampers with κατὰ κωλάς, to substitute κατακωχάς, "possessions by a deity"; for κατὰ κωλάς means "through the private parts". "Auguries, divinations by omens, oracles, haruspicy, evocations of the dead, frenzied afflatus, inspirations through the private parts." The words of Origen are plain, book III Against Celsus: "Through the Pythian opening, as the so-called prophetess sits over it, a spirit enters by the female parts — the prophetic spirit, Apollo, the one pure of earthly body." See Chrysostom at the beginning of the Catena on Jeremiah in Ghisleri. "Symbolic", "to divine symbolically", in Cyril (continues)

"An interpreter of twitchings." Epiphanius in the Exposition of the Faith, no. 24: "observations of twitchings". These two passages the unlucky Magnus handled unluckily, Miscellanea book IV, last chapter, explaining them of entrail-diviners, the inspection and quivering of entrails. Nor more happily, in Petau's edition of Epiphanius, is παλμῶν παρατηρήσεις rendered "castings of lots". Παλμός is the palpitation and twitching of some member, called saltus, saltio and salissatio: whence the salitores and salissatores, who augured from it something lucky or unlucky, by the augury they call παλμικόν, παλμωτικόν and παλμαστικόν. The Erythraean sibyl, Posidonius and many others had written on the matter; and Meursius, Critical Exercises, part I, pp. 114, 115, cites the words of Melampus the Sacred Scribe from the work entitled "Divination from Twitchings, to King Ptolemy". On the observation of twitchings the best of all is the author of the Questions to the Orthodox, among the works of Justin Martyr, question 19. The same.

"A concubine, the slave of some unbeliever." Two kinds of concubines are known from many authors, and so need not be explained at length: one plainly illicit, of those who are taken secretly, for a time, for the sake of lust alone; and another at times permitted and tolerated, of women taken publicly and for life for the bearing of children, yet without dowry instruments. But it would be near to a fault not to set down the passage of Blessed Augustine, which bears singularly on the Constitution: "Concerning a concubine also, if she has professed that she will know no other man, even if she is dismissed by him to whom she is subject, it is rightly doubted whether she ought not to be admitted to receive baptism", ch. 19 of the book On Faith and Works.

"He who teaches", etc. In Royal codex 1026: "From the constitutions of Paul the holy apostle, concerning ecclesiastical canons. — He who teaches, even if he be a layman", etc. This canon is set against canon 64 of Trullo in another Royal ms., 1818, in these words: "But some, striking back at this canon [of the sixth synod], bring forward another canon, set forth, as they say, by Paul the greatest of the apostles, running thus: He who teaches, even if he be a layman", etc., as far as "taught of God". That unknown writer answers that the difference arises from the difference of the times: when Christians were few, and they received among other charisms the gift of teaching; and when Christians became many, and that charism ceased with the other gifts. He adds that later canons and laws prevail over earlier ones. The monk Nicon in the Pandect, an unpublished work, a treasure of the same Royal collection, ch. 8: … "From the constitution of the holy apostle Paul: He who teaches, even if he be a layman", etc. … "Scholion: … see how it permits laymen to teach, which the sixth synod forbids in its sixty-fourth canon, and rebukes those who are sick with love of rule and who, without commission, presumptuously leap into teaching in public." You may read on this question, on either side, Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, book VI, ch. 19; canon 98 of the fourth council of Carthage; and letters 62 and 63 of Pope Leo, which last passage is cited in the Capitularies, addition IV, ch. 19. And yet in book III, last chapter, our author says that teaching is the office of presbyters. I interpret that of ordinary right, or of public sermons in church to the faithful. The same.

Νιψάμενοι. Lavatione ad puritatem corporis, non item animae. Nam supra, lib. VI, cap. 6, damnantur Hemerobaptistae: Πάσῃ σπουδῇ, ait Os aureum, hom. 21 in Genesim, τὴν ὄψιν τοῦ σώματος καθ' ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ἐκπλύνεις, ὥστε μηδαμοῦ ῥύπον τινὰ ἐπικείμενον τῇ ὄψει δυσειδῆ αὐτὴν δεικνύναι.

Atque eodem trahitur a Livineio locus Theodori Studitae in catechesi 5, quem sic scriptum reperit: Εὐθὺς τὸ πρωῒ ἐξανιστάμενοι προθύμως, καὶ τὸν ὕπνον ἀποτινασσόμενοι, καὶ νίψει προσευχόμενοι, correxit autem hoc modo: ἀποτινασσόμενοι νίψει, καὶ προσευχόμενοι, ac vertit: statim prima luce alacres surgentes, et somno lotione discusso comprecantes.

"Having washed." With a washing for the cleanness of the body, not likewise of the soul. For above, book VI, ch. 6, the Hemerobaptists are condemned. "With all care," says the Golden Mouth, hom. 21 on Genesis, "you wash the face of your body every day, lest any dirt lying on the face should show it unsightly." In the unknown author of the Unfinished Work on Matthew, homily 15, or rather on ch. 6, verse 17: "And who goes out with unwashed face?" So St. Augustine, book II On the Lord's Sermon on the Mount, ch. 12, says that the face is washed by daily custom. And Livineius draws to the same sense a passage of Theodore the Studite in catechesis 5, which he found written thus: "Rising eagerly straightway in the morning, and shaking off sleep, and praying νίψει"; but he corrected it in this way, "shaking off [sleep] by washing, and praying", and translates: "rising briskly at first light, and praying together when sleep has been dispelled by washing". But one need only change, from the Royal codex, νίψει into νήψει; whence a neat sense emerges: "shaking off sleep, and praying watchfully". In the Acts of Elias the Younger, which we owe to the diligence of the most learned François Combefis, p. 160: "Rising in the morning, he girds on his own belt according to the custom of the Christian way of life, and having washed his face, he would go out of the house, on his way to pray to God." Aristeas: "And as is the custom for all the Jews, having washed their hands in the sea, when they had prayed to God, they turned to the reading." Cotelier.

Paulus Silentiarius De magna ecclesia, seu Sancta Sophia, editus a diffusissimae lectionis viro stupendaeque doctrinae Carolo Du Fresne, post notas ad Historiam Joannis Cinnami, p. 518: Ἱστάμενοι δ' ἑκάτερθε δύω κήρυκε θεοῖο, / Παῦλος ὅλης σοφίης θεοδέγμονος ἔμπλεος ἀνὴρ, / Καὶ σθεναρὸς κληϊδοῦχος ἐπουρανίων πυλεώνων, / Αἰθερίοις δεσμοῖσιν ἐπιχθονίοις τε κελεύων / Ab utraque parte stent duo Dei praecones, / Paulus vir omni divina sapientia plenus, / Et coelestium januarum fortis claviger, / Coelestibus et terrestribus imperans vinculis. ID.

"I Paul and I Peter." The Anastasius manuscript has "I Peter and Paul", as in the Typicon of St. Sabas, fol. 135, in the Royal mss. 1110, 2336, 2392, 2430, and in Nicon's unpublished Pandect, discourses 57 and 58. Sometimes, though more rarely, Paul is named before Peter. So in the interpolated Ignatius, To the Magnesians 10, To the Trallians 5, in pseudo-Ignatius, To the Antiochenes 7. So also in others, for example Origen, homily 25 on Numbers, 2 on Judges, 2 on Ezekiel; Eusebius, History, book VII, ch. 18, where however Paul is put second by Rufinus and Nicephorus; Gregory Nazianzen, oration 16, near the end; Chrysostom, the book On Virginity, ch. 82, and the sermon On Meekness, not long before the end. Paul the Silentiary, On the Great Church, or Saint Sophia, edited by that man of the widest reading and astonishing learning Charles Du Fresne, after the notes on the History of John Cinnamus, p. 518: "And standing on either side, the two heralds of God: / Paul, a man full of all God-receiving wisdom, / and the mighty key-bearer of the heavenly gates, / commanding with bonds of heaven and of earth." The same.

"But on the Sabbath let them be at leisure." The Fathers of Laodicea judged otherwise, canon 29. Read the interpolated Epistle of Ignatius to the Magnesians, ch. 9, and the most diligent Ussher there. For what follows, "for the teaching of godliness", the printed books of Anastasius give "for the teaching of the Church on behalf of godliness" — with an evident fault, for "on behalf of godliness" is a marginal correction of the corrupt word "of the Church". Next, from the variant reading one may write: "for we have spoken of the Sabbath because it holds the reckoning of creation". The same.

Τὴν τῶν γενεθλίων ἑορτὴν ἀργείτωσαν, διὰ τὸ ἐν αὐτῇ τὴν ἀπροσδόκητον χάριν δεδόσθαι ἀνθρώποις, γεννηθῆναι τὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ Λόγον Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν ἐκ Μαρίας τῆς παρθένου ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ τοῦ κόσμου. Τὴν τῶν Ἐπιφανίων ἑορτὴν ἀργείτωσαν, διὰ τὸ ἐν αὐτῇ ἀνάδειξιν γεγενῆσθαι τῆς τοῦ Χριστοῦ θεότητος, μαρτυρήσαντος αὐτῷ τοῦ Πατρὸς ἐν τῷ βαπτίσματι, καὶ τοῦ Παρακλήτου ἐν εἴδει περιστερᾶς ὑποδείξαντος τοῖς παρεστῶσι τὸν μαρτυρηθέντα. Τὰς ἡμέρας τῶν ἀποστόλων ἀργείτωσαν· διδάσκαλοι γὰρ ὑμῶν εἰς Χριστὸν κατέστησαν, καὶ Πνεύματος ὑμᾶς ἠξίωσαν. Τὴν ἡμέραν Στεφάνου τοῦ πρωτομάρτυρος ἀργείτωσαν, καὶ τῶν λοιπῶν ἁγίων μαρτύρων, τῶν προτιμησάντων Χριστὸν τῆς ἑαυτῶν ζωῆς.
who He is Who permitted it, or Who also raised Him up. Let them rest on the Ascension, because of the completion of the dispensation according to Christ. Let them rest at Pentecost, because of the coming of the Holy Spirit, which was bestowed on those who believed in Christ. Let them rest on the feast of the Nativity, because on it the unexpected grace was given to men, that the Word of God, Jesus Christ, should be born of Mary the virgin for the salvation of the world. Let them rest on the feast of the Epiphany, because on it there took place the manifestation of the divinity of Christ, the Father bearing witness to Him at the baptism, and the Paraclete in the form of a dove pointing out to those standing by Him to Whom witness was borne. Let them rest on the days of the apostles; for they were appointed your teachers unto Christ, and deemed you worthy of the Spirit. Let them rest on the day of Stephen the first martyr, and of the other holy martyrs, who preferred Christ to their own life.

CHAPTER XXXIV. At which hours, and why, one must pray at these.
Εὐχὰς ἐπιτελεῖτε ὄρθρου, καὶ τρίτῃ ὥρᾳ, καὶ ἕκτῃ, καὶ ἐννάτῃ, καὶ ἑσπέρᾳ, καὶ ἀλεκτοροφωνίᾳ. Ὄρθρου μὲν, εὐχαριστοῦντες ὅτι ἐφώτισεν ὑμῖν ὁ Κύριος, παραγαγὼν τὴν νύκτα, καὶ ἐπαγαγὼν τὴν ἡμέραν. Τρίτῃ δὲ, ὅτι ἀπόφασιν ἐν αὐτῇ ὑπὸ Πιλάτου ἔλαβεν ὁ Κύριος. Ἕκτῃ δὲ, ὅτι ἐν αὐτῇ ἐσταυρώθη. Ἐννάτῃ δὲ, ὅτι πάντα κεκίνητο τοῦ Δεσπότου ἐσταυρωμένου, φρίττοντα τὴν τόλμαν τῶν δυσσεβῶν Ἰουδαίων, μὴ φέροντα τοῦ Κυρίου τὴν ὕβριν. Ἑσπέρᾳ δὲ, εὐχαριστοῦντες ὅτι ὑμῖν ἀνάπαυσιν ἔδωκε τῶν μεθημερινῶν κόπων, τὴν νύκτα· ἀλεκτρυόνων δὲ κραυγῇ, διὰ τὸ τὴν ὥραν εὐαγγελίζεσθαι τὴν παρουσίαν τῆς ἡμέρας, εἰς ἐργασίαν τῶν τοῦ φωτὸς ἔργων. Εἰ μὴ δυνατὸν ἐν Ἐκκλησίᾳ προϊέναι διὰ τοὺς ἀπίστους, κατ' οἶκον συνάξεις, ὦ ἐπίσκοπε· ἵνα μὴ εἰσέρχηται εὐσεβὴς εἰς Ἐκκλησίαν ἀσεβῶν· οὐχ ὁ τόπος γὰρ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἁγιάζει, ἀλλ' ὁ ἄνθρωπος τὸν τόπον. Ἐὰν δὲ ἀσεβεῖς κατέχωσι τὸν τόπον, φευκταῖός σοι ἔστω, διὰ τὸ βεβηλῶσθαι ὑπ' αὐτῶν·
Offer prayers at dawn, and at the third hour, and the sixth, and the ninth, and at evening, and at cockcrow. At dawn, giving thanks that the Lord has given you light, having led away the night and brought on the day. At the third, because at it the Lord received sentence from Pilate. At the sixth, because at it He was crucified. At the ninth, because all things were shaken when the Master was crucified, shuddering at the audacity of the impious Jews, not bearing the outrage done to the Lord. At evening, giving thanks that He has given you the night as rest from the labours of the day; and at the crowing of the cocks, because the hour brings the good news of the coming of the day, for the working of the works of light. If it is not possible to go forth to the Church because of the unbelievers, you shall hold the assembly in a house, O bishop, so that a godly man may not enter into a Church of the ungodly; for it is not the place that sanctifies the man, but the man the place. And if the ungodly hold the place, let it be shunned by you, because it has been profaned by them;

The same or another, expounding psalm 119 towards the end of the Commentaries on the Psalms: "At the third hour we pray; at the sixth hour we pray; at the ninth we make the lamp-lighting (it is better to punctuate thus than, with Ménard, Concordia regularum, p. 368, to read 'At the ninth we pray, at evening we make the lamp-lighting', or, after Goar, Euchologion p. 30, to explain 'nona' as 'after the ninth'); at midnight we rise; then at cockcrow we pray." And presently: "At the hour — third, sixth, ninth, lamp-lighting, midnight, cockcrow, first morning." I have punctuated in that manner so that these might answer to what precedes, which will not be so unless "first morning" is as it were an explanation of "cockcrow". See Cassian, book III On the Institutes of the Cenobites, ch. 4. Many learned men have discussed the canonical hours with care. The same.

ὡς γὰρ οἱ ὅσιοι ἱερεῖς ἁγιάζουσιν, οὕτως οἱ ἐναγεῖς μιαίνουσιν. Εἰ μήτε ἐν οἴκῳ, μήτε ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ συναθροισθῆναι δυνατὸν, ἕκαστος παρ' ἑαυτῷ ψαλλέτω, ἀναγινωσκέτω, προσευχέσθω ἢ καὶ ἅμα δύο, ἢ τρεῖς· ὅπου γάρ εἰσι, δύο ἢ τρεῖς συνηγμένοι ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐκεῖ εἰμι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.» Πιστὸς, μετὰ κατηχουμένου μήτε κατ' οἶκον προσευχέσθω· οὐ γὰρ δίκαιον τὸν μεμυημένον μετὰ τοῦ ἀμυήτου συμμολύνεσθαι· εὐσεβὴς μετὰ αἱρετικοῦ, μήτε κατ' οἶκον συμπροσευχέσθω· «Τίς γὰρ κοινωνία φωτὶ πρὸς σκότος;» Πιστὸς ἢ πιστὴ δοῦλοι συναφθέντες, ἢ ἀφιστάσθωσαν, ἢ ἀποβαλλέσθωσαν.
for as the holy priests sanctify, so the accursed defile. If it is possible to assemble neither in a house nor in a church, let each one by himself sing psalms, read, pray, or else two or three together; for where there are two or three gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matt. 18:20) Let a believer not pray with a catechumen, not even in a house; for it is not right that the initiated should be defiled together with the uninitiated. Let a godly man not pray together with a heretic, not even in a house: "For what fellowship has light with darkness?" (2 Cor. 6:14) A believing man or believing woman who, being slaves, have been joined together, let them either separate or be rejected.

And I James, brother of Christ according to the flesh, but His slave as of the only-begotten God, and ordained bishop of Jerusalem by the Lord Himself and the apostles, say this: When evening has come, you shall gather the church together, O bishop, and after the lamp-lighting psalm has been said, the deacon shall make the bidding for the catechumens, and the storm-tossed, and those being enlightened, and those in penitence, as we said before. And after they have been dismissed, the deacon shall say: As many as are believers, let us beseech the Lord. And after he has made the biddings of the first prayer, he shall say:

Σῶσον καὶ ἀνάστησον ἡμᾶς, ὁ Θεὸς, διὰ Χριστοῦ σου. Ἀναστάντες αἰτησώμεθα τὰ ἐλέη τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ τοὺς οἰκτιρμοὺς αὐτοῦ, τὸν ἄγγελον τὸν ἐπὶ τῆς εἰρήνης, τὰ καλὰ καὶ τὰ συμφέροντα, Χριστιανὰ τὰ τέλη. Τὴν ἑσπέραν καὶ τὴν νύκτα εἰρηνικὴν καὶ ἀναμάρτητον, καὶ πάντα τὸν χρόνον τῆς ζωῆς ἡμῶν ἀκατάγνωστον αἰτησώμεθα. Ἑαυτοὺς καὶ ἀλλήλους τῷ ζῶντι Θεῷ, διὰ Χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ παραθῶμεν, καὶ ὁ ἐπίσκοπος ἐπευχόμενος, λεγέτω·
Save us and raise us up, O God, through Thy Christ. Having risen, let us ask for the mercies of the Lord and His compassions, the angel who is over peace, things good and profitable, a Christian end. Let us ask that the evening and the night be peaceful and without sin, and all the time of our life free from reproach. Let us commend ourselves and one another to the living God through His Christ. And let the bishop, praying over them, say:

Συναφθέντες ["joined together"]. It is not to be doubted that he speaks of illicit union — he who prescribed, ch. 32, that masters should give spouses to slaves who are fornicating. But the reading of two codices, δούλοις συναφθέντες ["joined with slaves"], pleases greatly. Cotelier.

O God without beginning and without end, the Maker and Guardian of all things through Christ, but before all things His God and Father, the Lord of the Spirit, and King of things intelligible and sensible, Who hast made the day for works of light, and the night for the rest of our weakness: "For Thine is the day, and Thine is the night; Thou hast prepared the light and the sun"; (Ps. 73:16) do Thou Thyself now, O Master, Lover of mankind and All-good, graciously receive this our evening thanksgiving. Thou Who hast led us through the length of the day, and brought us to the beginnings of the night, guard us through Thy Christ, grant the evening peaceful and the night without sin, and deem us worthy of eternal life, through Thy Christ; through Whom to Thee be glory, honour and worship, in the Holy Spirit, for ever. Amen. And let the deacon say: Bow down for the laying on of hands. And let the bishop say: O God of the fathers, and Lord of mercy, Who by Thy wisdom didst fashion man, the rational living creature, the one beloved of God among those on earth, and didst give him to rule over the things on the earth, and by Thy will didst appoint rulers and priests, the former for the safety of life, the latter for lawful worship: do Thou Thyself now also bend down, O Lord Almighty, and make Thy face to shine upon Thy people, who have bent the neck of their heart, and bless them through Christ, through Whom Thou hast enlightened us with the light of knowledge, and hast revealed Thyself to us; with Whom to Thee also is due the worthy adoration from every rational and holy nature, and to the Spirit the Paraclete, for ever. Amen. And let the deacon say: Go forth in peace. In like manner at dawn let the deacon, after the morning psalm has been said, and he has dismissed the catechumens, and the storm-tossed, and those being baptized, and those in penitence, and has made the due bidding, that we may not say the same things again, add after the words, Save them, O God, and raise them up in Thy grace: Let us ask from the Lord His mercies and compassions, that this dawn and this day be peaceful and without sin, and all the time of our sojourning; the angel who is over peace, a Christian end, and God propitious and gracious; ourselves

Πρὸ δὲ πάντων. Haec verba omissa sunt in altero codice Vindobonensi, quod Arianismo faveant; nam ex sententia Arianorum, Deus Pater ante omnium creationem, ac proinde antequam esset natura humana Christi, erat Deus ejus naturae divinae; cum ex sententia Nicaenae synodi sit tantum Deus Pater humanae naturae Deus, cum sit ei Filius, secundum divinam ὁμοούσιος, hoc est par. CLER.

"But before all things." These words are omitted in the other Vienna codex, because they favour Arianism; for in the view of the Arians, God the Father, before the creation of all things, and hence before the human nature of Christ existed, was the God of His divine nature; whereas in the view of the Nicene synod God the Father is God only of the human nature, since the Son is, according to the divine nature, ὁμοούσιος with Him, that is, equal.

Κύριος ["Lord"]. In the other Vienna codex it is προβολεύς ["emitter"]. The Son and the Holy Spirit are called by many "emissions of the Father", and the Father Himself "the emitter", as we observed before, at book VI, ch. 11 — as if indeed an incomprehensible matter became clearer by words of that kind! But how much better it would have been to speak with Scripture, leaving aside all novelty of language, which is dangerous! Clericus.

O God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and of all the saints; Who hast brought all things to maturity through Thy Word, and hast commanded the earth to bring forth fruits of every kind for our gladness and nourishment; Who hast given to the duller and bleating creatures fodder, to the grass-eaters grass, and to some flesh, to others seeds, but to us corn as fitting and suitable food, and various other things, some for use, some for health, some for delight.

beneficence towards all, through Christ; through Whom be glory, honour and worship to Thee, in the Holy Spirit, unto the ages. Amen. And over those who have gone to their rest in Christ, after he has proclaimed the petitions of the prayer, that we may not say them again, the deacon shall add these also:

Bidding prayer for those who have fallen asleep.

Καὶ ὁ ἐπίσκοπος λεγέτω· Ὁ τῇ φύσει ἀθάνατος καὶ ἀτελεύτητος, παρ' οὗ πᾶν ἀθάνατον καὶ θνητὸν γέγονεν· ὁ τὸ λογικὸν ζῶον τὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν κοσμοπολίτην, θνητὸν ἐν κατασκευῇ ποιήσας, καὶ ἀναστασίαν ἐπαγγειλάμενος· ὁ τὸν Ἐνὼχ καὶ τὸν Ἡλίαν θανάτου πεῖραν μὴ ἐάσας λαβεῖν· ὁ Θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ, ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰακὼβ, οὐχ ὡς νεκρῶν, ἀλλ' ὡς ζώντων Θεὸς εἶ· ὅτι πάντων αἱ ψυχαὶ παρὰ σοὶ ζῶσι, καὶ τῶν δικαίων τὰ πνεύματα ἐν τῇ χειρί σού εἰσιν, ὧν οὐ μὴ ἅψηται βάσανος· πάντες γὰρ ἡγιασμένοι ὑπὸ τὰς χεῖράς σού εἰσιν· αὐτὸς καὶ νῦν ἔπιδε ἐπὶ τὸν δοῦλόν σου τόνδε, ὃν ἐξελέξω, καὶ προσελάβου εἰς ἑτέραν λῆξιν, καὶ συγχώρησον αὐτῷ εἴ τι ἑκὼν ἢ ἄκων ἐξήμαρτεν, ἀγγέλους εὐμενεῖς παράστησον αὐτῷ, καὶ κατάταξον αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ τῶν πατριαρχῶν καὶ τῶν προφητῶν καὶ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ πάντων τῶν ἀπ' αἰῶνός σοι εὐαρεστησάντων, ὅπου οὐκ ἔνι λύπη, ὀδύνη καὶ στεναγμὸς, ἀλλὰ χῶρος εὐσεβῶν ἀνειμένος, καὶ γῆ εὐθέων συνανειμένη, καὶ τῶν ἐν αὐτῇ ὁρώντων τὴν δόξαν τοῦ Χριστοῦ σου· δι' οὗ σοι δόξα, τιμὴ
For our brethren who have gone to their rest in Christ let us pray; that God, the lover of mankind, Who has received his soul, may overlook for him every sin, voluntary and involuntary, and, being gracious and kindly, may set him in the land of the godly, who are released into the bosom of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, with all those who from of old have been well-pleasing to God and have done His will; whence pain and sorrow and sighing have fled away. Let us rise. Let us commend ourselves and one another to the eternal God through the Word Who was in the beginning. And let the bishop say: Thou Who art by nature immortal and without end, from Whom everything immortal and mortal has come to be; Who didst make the rational living creature, man, the citizen of the world, mortal in his constitution, and didst promise a resurrection; Who didst not allow Enoch and Elijah to take experience of death; the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, Thou art God not as of the dead but as of the living (Matt. 22:32); for the souls of all live with Thee, and the spirits of the righteous are in Thy hand, whom torment shall not touch (Wis. 3:1); for all who are sanctified are under Thy hands (Deut. 33:3): do Thou Thyself now also look upon this Thy servant, whom Thou hast chosen and taken to Thyself into another lot, and forgive him if willingly or unwillingly he has sinned in anything; set kindly angels beside him, and place him in the bosom of the patriarchs and of the prophets and of the apostles and of all who from of old have been well-pleasing to Thee, where there is no sorrow, pain and sighing, but a place of the godly set at rest, and a land of the upright set at rest with it, and of those who in it behold the glory of Thy Christ; through Whom be glory to Thee, honour

Ἀγγέλους εὐμενεῖς παράστησον αὐτῷ. Angelorum officia in hominum morte, ex doctrina SS. Patrum sunt: assistere morientibus, eosque pro viribus adjuvare; piis esse ἀγγέλους εἰρήνης, placidos animae evocatores, acceptores, exuentes eam corruptibile corporis indumentum, in coelum portantes, ad Deum deducentes, δορυφοροῦντας, viae duces ac comites, propugnatores, occursatores; impiis vero tristes, horribiles, ἀπειληφόρους, exactores, et raptores, ad judicium acerbe pertrahentes. Ab Anastasio Sinaita, orat. in psalmum VI, usurpatur nomen ἐκσπηλευτῶν· aut mea quidem suspicione, factum a verbo expilo, significans expilatores; aut, juxta conjecturam doctissimi Combefisii, formatum ex voce σπήλαιον. Praetereo externae sapientiae ψυχοπομπούς, cum Mercurio πομπαίῳ, cumque angelo mortis Samaele, seu Adriele, Asraele. Quem mortis angelum commemorat auctor Operis imperfecti in Matthaeum, ad XXIV, 43. COT.

Ἀγγέλους εὐμενεῖς παράστησον αὐτῷ ("set kindly angels beside him"). The offices of the angels at the death of men, according to the teaching of the holy Fathers, are these: to stand by the dying and to help them as far as they are able; to be for the devout ἀγγέλους εἰρήνης ("angels of peace"), gentle summoners and receivers of the soul, stripping it of the corruptible garment of the body, carrying it to heaven, leading it to God, δορυφοροῦντας ("serving as its bodyguard"), guides and companions of the way, defenders, those who come out to meet it; but for the impious to be grim, dreadful, ἀπειληφόρους ("bearers of threats"), exactors and snatchers, dragging them harshly to judgement. Anastasius of Sinai, in his oration on Psalm 6, uses the name ἐκσπηλευτῶν: either, as I for my part suspect, made from the verb expilo and meaning plunderers; or, according to the conjecture of the most learned Combefis, formed from the word σπήλαιον ("cave"). I pass over the ψυχοπομπούς ("conductors of souls") of pagan wisdom, together with Mercury πομπαίῳ ("the escort"), and with the angel of death Samael, or Adriel, Asrael. This angel of death is mentioned by the author of the Opus imperfectum in Matthaeum, on 24:43. Cotelerius.

Jam Philippus Solitarius, lib. IV, Dioptrae manu scriptae in Regia Bibliotheca, ad hunc modum loquitur: Περὶ τοῦ πῶς ἐπιτελοῦμεν τρίτα, ἔννατα, καὶ τεσσαρακοστά. Χρὴ καὶ τοῦτο γινώσκειν, ὅτι τὰς τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας τοῦ παλαιοῦ πένθους τριχῇ διελόντες οἱ ἀπόστολοι, εἰς τρίτα, καὶ ἔννατα, καὶ τεσσαρακοστά. Οὕτω γὰρ καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ Κύριος μετὰ τὴν τριήμερον ἔγερσιν ἐφανέρωσεν ἑαυτὸν τοῖς μαθηταῖς τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων, καὶ ἐνεφύσησεν αὐτοῖς λέγων· Λάβετε Πνεῦμα ἅγιον. Καὶ μεθ' ἡμέρας ὀκτὼ, πάλιν ἰδοὺ μετὰ τὴν ἀνάστασιν ἐντὸς τῶν ὀκτὼ ἡμερῶν, δεύτερον ἐφάνη αὐτοῖς. Εἰπὼν οὖν ὁ εὐαγγελιστὴς, μεθ' ἡμέρας ὀκτὼ, τὴν ἀναστάσιμον ἡμέραν οὐ συνηρίθμησε. Μετ' ἐκείνης γοῦν, ἐννέα καταριθμοῦνται. Κατὰ γοῦν τὸν τύπον τοῦτον, ἡμεῖς ἀπὸ τῆς ταφῆς ἕως τῶν ἐννάτων δεύτερον τὰς μνείας τῶν ὁσίως κεκοιμημένων ἐπιτελοῦμεν. Ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ τὰ τεσσαρακοστὰ, ἐπειδὴ τῇ τεσσαρακοστῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἀνελήφθη ὁ Κύριος. [Facing Latin, as printed:] De modo quo celebramus dies tertium, nonum, et quadragesimum. Et hoc sciendum est, quod quadraginta dies veteris luctus in tria diviserint apostoli; in tertium diem, et nonum, et quadragesimum. Ita enim ipse Dominus post resurrectionem tertia die factam, seipsum ostendit discipulis, januis clausis, et insufflavit eis dicens: « Accipite Spiritum sanctum. » Et post dies octo, iterum ecce post resurrectionem intra octo dies, secundo ipsis apparuit. Itaque evangelista dicens, « Post dies octo, » diem resurrectionis non numeravit cum aliis diebus. Quare cum illo novem numerantur. Ad hanc ergo formam, nos a sepultura ad nonum diem secundo memorias eorum celebramus qui sancte obdormierunt. Et vero pari ratione quadragesimum peragimus, quia die quadragesimo assumptus est Dominus. Quem locum frustra quaeras in versione Jacobi Pontani. Ad haec corrigi debent ista apud Hincmarum capite 14: Capitulorum presbyteris datorum, anno 852: Ut nullus presbyterorum ad anniversariam diem, vel tricesimam tertiam, vel septimam alicujus defuncti, aut quacunque vocatione ad collectam presbyteri convenerint, se inebriare praesumat. Scribo, etiam ex Reginone, Burchardo, Ivone, Gratiano: Ut nullus presbyterorum, ad anniversariam diem vel tricesimam, tertiam vel septimam, etc. Denique indicatum capitulum 19 Theodori accipe, prout legendum et constituendum videtur: Pro defuncto monacho missa agitur in die sepulturae ejus, tertia die, et postea quandiu voluerit abbas: pro laico bono tertia vel septima [3 vel 7 unde factum, tres vel septem], post jejunium: pro poenitente trigesima die vel sep- (continues)

Ἐπιτελείσθω δὲ τρίτα τῶν κεκοιμημένων ("Let the third day of the departed be kept"), etc. That these words and what follows were taken over from here by the Orientals — Melkites, Maronites, Copts and Jacobites — and prefixed to the collections of councils in use among them, may be learned from the Notes of Abraham Ecchellensis the Maronite on the Catalogue of the books of the Chaldeans which Ebedjesu composed, p. 167, etc. The same passages, along with others likewise from the Apostolic Constitutions, may be seen in the codices of councils and canons, one Arabic and several Greek, in the possession of the Most Christian King. They are cited, moreover, by Anastasius, without any difference in the opening lines, in the Royal manuscript 2206. As for the matter itself, a great deal could be heaped together; but I, having pointed out the more important passages, will transcribe only those which either have novelty or await light from someone. Let anyone who wishes, then, consult Palladius's Lausiac History, ch. 26, towards the end; Isidore of Pelusium, book I, letter 114; Justinian's Novel 133; Damascene in the Oration on the faithful departed, fol. 147, 150 of the Greek edition; Eustratius in codex 171 of Photius's Bibliotheca; Nicon On the errors of the Armenians in Balsamon, p. 1098, and above on book II, ch. 24; Ambrose in the Discourse on the death of Theodosius; Letter 258 among Augustine's; Alcuin, or another, in the book On the divine offices, ch. 50, 51; the Selected chapters of Theodore of Canterbury, nos. 19, 37, 90; in Spicilegium IX, Meletius's letter On the Prussians; Meursius's Glossary under the word Τριτεννάται; Hugh Ménard, Concordia regularum, p. 218; and Jacques Goar, Euchologion, p. 540. Now Philip the Solitary, in book IV of the Dioptra, in manuscript in the Royal Library, speaks in this manner: "On how we keep the third, ninth and fortieth days. This too should be known, that the apostles divided the forty days of the ancient mourning in three, into third, ninth and fortieth. For so also the Lord Himself, after His rising on the third day, showed Himself to the disciples when the doors were shut, and breathed on them, saying: Receive the Holy Spirit. And after eight days — see, again after the resurrection, within the eight days — He appeared to them a second time. The evangelist, then, in saying after eight days, did not count in the day of the resurrection. With that day, therefore, nine are reckoned. According to this pattern, then, we keep a second time, from the burial to the ninth day, the memorials of those who have fallen asleep in holiness. And likewise the fortieth, since on the fortieth day the Lord was taken up." [The facing Latin renders the same passage.] You would look in vain for this passage in the version of Jacobus Pontanus. In the light of this the following words in Hincmar, chapter 14 of the Capitula given to the presbyters in the year 852, ought to be corrected: "That no presbyter, at the anniversary day, or the thirty-third, or the seventh of any deceased person, or upon whatever summons presbyters have come together to a gathering, presume to make himself drunk." I write, on the authority also of Regino, Burchard, Ivo and Gratian: "That no presbyter, at the anniversary day or the thirtieth, the third or the seventh," etc. Lastly, take the chapter 19 of Theodore indicated above, as it seems it should be read and established: "For a deceased monk Mass is celebrated on the day of his burial, on the third day, and afterwards as long as the abbot shall wish; for a good layman on the third or the seventh [3 or 7, whence was made 'three or seven'], after the fast; for a penitent on the thirtieth day or the sev- (continues)

the mind of God have been defined by us? But since the many have held this too to be a secondary matter, and dare to confound the orders and to disturb the ordination proper to each, snatching for themselves dignities that are not given, and tyrannically allowing themselves what they have no authority to give, and by this they provoke God to anger, as did the Korahites and King Uzziah, who beyond their rank and without God laid hands on the high-priesthood, and became, the former consumed by fire, the latter leprous on the forehead (Num. 16; 2 Chr. 26); and they exasperate Christ Jesus Who made the ordinance, and they grieve also the Holy Spirit, making His testimony void; with good reason, foreseeing the danger that hangs over those who do such things, and the neglect that falls on the sacrifices and eucharists from their being impiously offered by those who ought not, men who account as child's play the high-priestly office, which holds an imitation of the great high priest Jesus Christ our king, we have found it necessary to give this admonition also; for already some have turned aside after their own vanity (1 Tim. 5:15); we say that Moses, the servant of God, with whom God conversed face to face, as if one should speak to his own friend, to whom He said: "I know you above all"; with whom He conversed in person and not through things obscure, or dreams, or angels, or riddles (Num. 12:8; Exod. 33:11, 17); this man, when he was setting in order the divine legislation, distinguished what must be performed by the high priests, what by the priests, and what by the Levites, assigning to each the worship that was proper and belonged to his ministry; and to those things which the high priests had been commanded to perform it was not lawful for the priests to draw near; and to those which had been appointed for the priests the Levites did not draw near; but each kept the services, marked out within their bounds, which they had received; and if anyone wished to draw near beyond what had been handed down, death was the penalty (Num. 4). And this was shown most of all by what befell Saul; who, having thought to sacrifice without the prophet and high priest Samuel, drew upon himself a sin and a curse not to be cast off; and not even his having been anointed king by him put the prophet out of countenance (1 Sam. 13). And by a more effectual deed God showed it in what befell Uzziah, exacting without delay the penalties for the transgression; and he who raged against the high-priesthood was made a stranger to the kingship also (2 Chr. 26). And the things done in our own time you are perhaps not ignorant of. For you know assuredly that bishops were named by us, and presbyters, and deacons, by prayer and the laying on of hands, showing by the difference of the names the difference of the things also. For it was not whoever wished among us that filled his hand, as

in the spurious priesthood of the calves, falsely struck under Jeroboam (1 Kgs. 13:33), but he who was called by God. For if there were no ordinance, and no difference of orders, it would have sufficed for the whole to be performed under one name. But having been taught by the Lord a due sequence of things, we assigned to the bishops the things of the high-priesthood, to the presbyters the things of the priesthood, and to the deacons the things of the ministry to both; that the things of worship might be performed purely. For it is not lawful for a deacon to offer sacrifice, or to baptize, or to give a blessing, small or great, nor for a presbyter to perform ordinations; for it is not holy that the order should be overturned; "For God is not [a God] of disorder" (1 Cor. 14:33), that those of lower rank should tyrannically appropriate the things of their betters, fashioning a new legislation to their own hurt, not knowing that it is hard for them to kick against the goads (Acts 9:5). For such men do not make war on us, or on the bishops, but on the bishop of all and high priest of the Father, Christ Jesus our Lord. For by Moses, most dear to God, high priests were appointed, and priests, and Levites (Exod. 28, 29), and by our Saviour we, the thirteen apostles; and by the apostles I, James; and I, Clement, and others with us, that we may not list them all again; and in common by all of us presbyters, and deacons, and subdeacons, and readers. First, then, and by nature high priest is the only-begotten Christ, Who did not snatch the honour for Himself, but was appointed by the Father (Heb. 5); Who, having become man for our sake, and offering the spiritual sacrifice to His God and Father, before the passion, ordained for us alone to do this (Luke 22); although there were with us others also who had believed in Him; but it is by no means the case that he who believed was thereby also appointed priest, or obtained high-priestly rank. And after His ascension, we, having offered according to His ordinance a pure and unbloody sacrifice, chose out bishops, and presbyters, and deacons seven in number; of whom one was Stephen, the blessed martyr, not falling short

VI B. Chrysostomi; sed per carnem, ut ait idem scriptor, secutus S. Athanasium in majore oratione De fide, apud Theodoritum, dialogo 2. Dixi proprie loquendo; quia, latius acceptum nomen pontificis, Verbo Dei non impie tribueretur, et Christo nondum incarnato, ut charismatum paternorum, donorum Dei universali distributori. Catholicum Patris sacerdotem appellat Tertullianus IV citati Operis lib. cap. 9. Certe Cyrillus Hierosolymitanus, in catechesi 10, Christi sacerdotium vult esse aeternum, absque initio ac fine. In Anastasii Collectaneis p. 123: Unius natura regis cunctorum Dei, natura etiam ob salutem nostram pontificis facti, unus erat typus Melchisedech. ID.

Τῇ φύσει ἀρχιερεύς ("high priest by nature"). Men become high priests by the grace of God and by adoption; but Christ can be called high priest by nature, that is, in his own right and by his own authority, according to that saying of Tertullian, Against Marcion IV, 35: "the authentic high priest of God the Father", and book V, ch. 9: "Christ, God's own and lawful priest" — not indeed through his divinity, properly speaking: which is asserted in Arian fashion by Eusebius, after Origen, and denied in Catholic fashion by the author of the sermon On the one lawgiver, in volume VI of blessed Chrysostom; but through the flesh, as the same writer says, following St. Athanasius in the greater oration On the faith, in Theodoret, dialogue 2. I said "properly speaking", because the name of high priest, taken more broadly, would not impiously be given to the Word of God, even to Christ not yet incarnate, as the universal distributor of the Father's charisms, the gifts of God. Tertullian calls him "the catholic priest of the Father" in book IV, ch. 9, of the work cited. Certainly Cyril of Jerusalem, in catechesis 10, holds that the priesthood of Christ is eternal, without beginning or end. In the Collectanea of Anastasius, p. 123: "Of the one who is by nature God, king of all, and who was also made by nature high priest for our salvation, Melchisedech was the one type." The same.

PG 1:1156
ἡμῶν κατὰ τὴν πρὸς Θεὸν εὔνοιαν· ὃς τοσοῦτον τὴν θεοσέβειαν τῇ πίστει ἐνεδείξατο, καὶ τὴν εἰς τὸν Κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν ἀγάπην, ὡς ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ δοῦναι καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν, πρὸς τῶν κυριοκτόνων Ἰουδαίων λίθοις βληθείς. Ἀλλ' ὅμως ὁ τοιοῦτος καὶ τηλικοῦτος ἀνὴρ, ὁ τῷ πνεύματι ζέων, ὁ τὸν Χριστὸν ὁρῶν ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὰς οὐρανίας πύλας ἀνεῳγμένας, οὐδαμοῦ φαίνεται τοῖς μὴ ἀνήκουσι τῇ διακονίᾳ χρησάμενος, ἢ θυσίαν ἀνενεγκὼν, ἢ χεῖρας ἐπιθείς τινι, ἀλλὰ τὸ τῆς διακονίας τάγμα φυλάξας μέχρι τέλους· οὕτω γὰρ ἔπρεπε τῷ τοῦ Χριστοῦ μάρτυρι, τὴν εὐταξίαν ἀποσώζειν. Εἰ δὲ Φίλιππον τὸν διάκονον ἡμῶν καὶ Ἀνανίαν τὸν πιστὸν ἀδελφὸν αἰτιῶνταί τινες, ὅτι ὁ μὲν τὸν εὐνοῦχον ἐβάπτισεν, ὁ δὲ ἐμὲ Παῦλον· ἀγνοοῦσιν αὐτοὶ, ὃ λέγομεν ἡμεῖς· εἴπομεν γὰρ ὅτι οὐχ ἑαυτῷ τις ἁρπάζει τὸ ἱερατικὸν ἀξίωμα, ἀλλ' ἢ παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ λαμβάνει, ὡς Μελχισεδὲκ, καὶ Ἰὼβ, ἢ παρὰ ἀρχιερέως, ὡς Ἀαρὼν παρὰ Μωσέως· οὐκοῦν καὶ Φίλιππος καὶ Ἀνανίας οὐχ ἑαυτοὺς προείλοντο, ἀλλ' ὑπὸ τοῦ Χριστοῦ προεχειρίσθησαν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, τοῦ ἀσυγκρίτου Θεοῦ.
of ours in his good will towards God; who showed forth so great a reverence for God by his faith, and so great a love for our Lord Jesus Christ, as to give even his life for Him, being struck with stones by the Lord-slaying Jews. And yet such and so great a man, he who was fervent in the Spirit, he who saw Christ at the right hand of God and the heavenly gates opened, nowhere appears to have exercised what does not belong to the diaconate, either by offering sacrifice or by laying hands on anyone, but to have kept the rank of the diaconate to the end; for so it befitted the martyr of Christ to preserve good order. But if some bring forward Philip our deacon and Ananias the faithful brother, that the one baptized the eunuch and the other me, Paul, they themselves do not understand what we are saying; for we said that no one snatches the priestly dignity for himself, but either receives it from God, as Melchizedek and Job, or from a high priest, as Aaron from Moses. Therefore Philip and Ananias too did not choose themselves, but were appointed by Christ the high priest, the incomparable God.

Φίλιππον. In margine cod. Vindobon. legitur hoc Scholion: Ὅτι ὁ βαπτίσας τὸν εὐνοῦχον Αἰθίοπα οὐκ ἦν ἀπόστολος Φίλιππος, ἀλλ' εἷς τῶν μετὰ τοῦ ἁγίου Στεφάνου προχειρισθέντων εἰς διακόνους, ᾧτινι ἦσαν τέσσαρες θυγατέρες, ὥς φησι Λουκᾶς ἐν ταῖς Πράξεσι. CLER.

Φίλιππον ("Philip"). In the margin of the Vienna codex this scholion is read: "That the one who baptized the Ethiopian eunuch was not Philip the apostle, but one of those appointed deacons together with the holy Stephen, who had four daughters, as Luke says in the Acts." Clericus.

Ἀνανίαν τὸν πιστὸν ἀδελφόν. Hunc locum sic interpretatur Oecumenius ad Act. IX, 10, quasi Ananias fuerit diaconus: Καὶ οὗτος ὁ Ἀνανίας διάκονος ἦν, ὡς αὐτὸς Παῦλος μαρτυρεῖ ἐν τοῖς Κανόσι. Et iste Ananias erat diaconus, quemadmodum ipse Paulus testatur in Canonibus. Verum id nequaquam dicit Constitutio. COT.

Ἀνανίαν τὸν πιστὸν ἀδελφόν ("Ananias the faithful brother"). Oecumenius, on Acts 9:10, interprets this passage as though Ananias had been a deacon: Καὶ οὗτος ὁ Ἀνανίας διάκονος ἦν, ὡς αὐτὸς Παῦλος μαρτυρεῖ ἐν τοῖς Κανόσι. "And this Ananias was a deacon, as Paul himself testifies in the Canons." But the Constitution by no means says that. Cotelerius.

Τοῦ ἀσυγκρίτου Θεοῦ. Potest etiam aliter verti, tollendo virgulam praecedentem. ID. — Sic debet verti: A Christo Pont. Maximo Dei nulli comparandi, vel cum quo nullus conferri queat. Haec enim fuit Arianorum sententia, quam auctor, larva apostolorum tectus, caute Constitutionibus inserit. CLER.

Τοῦ ἀσυγκρίτου Θεοῦ ("of the incomparable God"). It can also be rendered otherwise, by removing the preceding comma. The same. — It ought to be rendered thus: "by Christ, the High Priest of the God to whom none is to be compared", or "with whom none can be compared". For this was the opinion of the Arians, which the author, hidden behind the mask of the apostles, warily inserts into the Constitutions. Clericus.
