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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

(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. Hinc Gregorium Nazianzenum accepisse suum ἔνδυμα ἀφθαρσίας orat. 42, pag. 685, adnotat Nicetas : an vere, dubito : potuit enim habere ab aliis liturgiis; verbi gratia ab illa apud Chrysostomum homil. 2, in II ad Corinthios. 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.

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."

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."

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.)

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.

Πρῶτος τῇ φύσει, καὶ νόμος τῷ εἶναι. Juxta vulgivagum axioma, Quod est primum, regula est caeterorum. Male itaque Petrus Faber doctissimus vir Dodecameri cap. 11, id lectionis sollicitat, ut sufficiat μόνος τῷ εἶναι, quod ad πρῶτος τῇ φύσει, minime quadrat. COT.
First by nature, and law in being. According to the common axiom, "What is first is the rule of the rest." Wrongly therefore does Petrus Faber, a most learned man, in ch. 11 of the Dodecamerus, disturb this reading in order to substitute "alone in being" (μόνος τῷ εἶναι), which does not at all square with "first by nature." Cotelerius.

Βουλήσει καὶ δυνάμει. Simili modo Justinus martyr cum discipulo suo Tatiano. Quod simplicius dictum in orthodoxo caret suspicione; uti docet S. Athanasius oratione 4 contra Arianos, p. 509, 510; sed cavenda est, addit prudentissimus Pater, haeresis, cum Valentinianorum, tum Arianorum.

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.

Without mediation. Gregory Nazianzen, oration 29: "And when I say 'beginning,' do not slip in time, nor set anything in between the one who has begotten and the one begotten; nor divide the nature by something wrongly inserted between those who are co-eternal and conjoined. For if time is older than the Son, the Father would plainly be first [read 'primarily,' from the Royal codices] the cause of that; and how is he the maker of times who is subject to time?" The same.

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. Jam praeteriti a Dionysio, ab aliis memorati angelorum gradus invenientur hi : Vigiles, apud Syros; βασιλεῖαι, in Clementis Alexandrini Hypotyposibus. Θεότητες ac θεοί, ibidem, necnon in discipulo Origene tom. I in Joannem, consentientibus Hebraeis. 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.

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.

Ὑπακουέτω ["let (the people) answer"]. I have said something above. Now I add an emendation in St. Athanasius, Apology to the Emperor Constantius, p. 683: "Where was it fitting and holy that the people should answer the Amen?" — not ἐπακοῦσαι, "should hear". This is plain from what follows on the same page: "where, so many and such great peoples having come together into one, a single voice arises of those saying to God: Amen." Cotelier.

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.

Francisco Combefisio editus De captivitate Persica, p. 346: Ἱερεῖς, οἱ τῶν σεραφὶμ μειζότερον ἀξίωμα περικείμενοι.

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.

"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. As the hart longs for the fountains of waters, etc." More correctly perhaps: "And the priest communicates. Prayer (εὐχ. for εὐχή): 'For loving-kindness.' Psalm: 'As…', etc." Cotelier.

"Depart in peace." The verb ἀπολύειν is customarily used in this sense.

In the synodical letter of Cyril of Alexandria to Nestorius: "We celebrate in the churches the bloodless sacrifice (or, according to another reading which Macarius of Antioch follows, in session 8 of the sixth general council, "worship"; or, as it is rendered by Dionysius Exiguus, θυσίας λατρείαν, "the service of sacrifice"), and so we approach the mystical blessings."

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)

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. COT.
"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.

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.

"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."

"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.

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.

"Into communion." That is, into the fellowship of the faithful through baptism, as will be plain to the reader.

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.

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.

"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."

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.

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.

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. Καὶ εἴπερ ἠχή τις ἐγένετο τῷ ἀναφέρεσθαι τὸ καυκάλιον, σημεῖον τοῦτο ἐποιοῦντο ἀγάπης, τῷ ποιῷ τοῦ ἤχου τὸ ποσὸν συμμετροῦντες αὐτῆς. Lexicon Favorini: Λώταξ, ὁ λῃστής, ἢ ὁ μύρα ἀλειφόμενος, ἢ ὁ καταδαπανῶν ἐν τοῖς αἰσχροῖς τὸν βίον αὐτοῦ, ὡς ὁ πόρνος, καὶ ὁ ἀνδρόγυνος, ἢ ὁ αὐλητής, etc. Aliud Lexicon Graeco-Latinum cod.

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.

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."

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".

Παλλακή τινος ἀπίστου δούλη. Nota sunt ex multis auctoribus, eoque non pluribus explicanda, duo concubinarum genera: illicitum plane, earum quae clam, ad tempus, libidinis solius causa assumuntur: aliudque permissum aliquando atque toleratum, feminarum publice in perpetuum ad suscipiendos liberos ductarum, absque tamen dotalibus instrumentis. Sed culpae affine esset non ascribere B. Augustini locum, qui singulariter ad Constitutionem facit. De concubina quoque, si professa fuerit nullum se alium cognituram, etiam si ab illo cui subdita est, dimittatur; merito dubitatur, utrum ad percipiendum baptismum non debeat admitti, cap. 19 Lib. de fide et operibus. COT.
"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.

"Let him cease, and marry by law." "To cast off a slave-girl from one's bed and take a wife of assured free birth is not a doubling of marriage but an advance in honourable living", Pope Leo answers Rusticus of Narbonne on his inquiry, letter 92. The same.

"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. Faciem corporis tui quotidie abluis; ne qua forte macula faciei inhaerens foedam illam reddat. Apud incertum auctorem Operis imperfecti in Matthaeum, homilia 15, seu potius ad cap. VI, vers. 17: Et quis facie non lavata procedit? Sic a S. Augustino lib. II De sermone Domini in monte, cap. 12, dicitur, faciem quotidiana consuetudine lavari. 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. Verum mutandum duntaxat e codice Regio, νίψει in νήψει; unde exsurgit elegans sensus; somnum excutientes, et vigilanter orantes. In Actis Eliae Junioris quae debentur diligentiae viri doctissimi Francisci Combefisii, pag. 160: Ἀναστὰς τῷ πρωῒ, περιζώννυται κατὰ τὸ ἔθος τῆς Χριστιανικῆς πολιτείας τὴν ἰδίαν αὐτοῦ ζώνην, καὶ νιψάμενος τὸ πρόσωπον, ἐξῄει τοῦ οἴκου, πορευόμενος Θεῷ προσεύξασθαι. Aristeas: Ὡς δὲ ἔθος ἐστὶ πᾶσι τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις, ἀπονιψάμενοι τῇ θαλάσσῃ τὰς χεῖρας, ὡς ἂν ηὔξαντο πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, ἐτρέποντο πρὸς τὴν ἀνάγνωσιν. COT.
"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.

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 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".

"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.

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.

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)

Οἱ δεκατρεῖς ἀπόστολοι. Eodem modo S. Ambrosius initio libri De benedictionibus patriarcharum, Paulum appellat tertium decimum apostolum.

Οἱ δεκατρεῖς ἀπόστολοι ("the thirteen apostles"). In the same way St. Ambrose, at the beginning of the book On the blessings of the patriarchs, calls Paul the thirteenth apostle. But for some, in Jerome on chapter 17 of Isaiah, the thirteenth apostle is James the brother of the Lord, and Paul the fourteenth: on which matter Procopius on the same chapter should be seen. I pass over the fact that St. Basil is found adorned with the title τρισκαιδεκάτου ἀποστόλου ("thirteenth apostle"), and others too. The same.

Τῇ φύσει ἀρχιερεύς. Homines gratia Dei et adoptione pontifices fiunt: Christus autem vocari potest natura pontifex, hoc est proprietate ac auctoritate, juxta illud Tertulliani IV adversus Marcionem 35: Authenticus pontifex Dei Patris, et lib. V, cap. 9: Christus proprius et legitimus Dei antistes, non quidem per divinitatem, proprie loquendo: quod Arianice ab Eusebio post Origenem asseritur, Catholice negatur ab auctore sermonis De uno legislatore, tom. 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.

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.

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.
