Editors' preface
(1) ‹Avete, filii et filiae› · printed under col 727
Avete, filii et filiae.— Avete. Sic a Vulg. interp. vertitur χαίρετε Matth. XXVIII, 9. ANONYM. — Filii et filiae. Ita fideles appellat, quos per Evangelium genuit: et hic stylus apostolicus est. I Cor. IV, 14, 17. Gal. IV, 19. I Joan. II, 1. MEN.
Greetings, sons and daughters.— Greetings (Avete). So χαίρετε is rendered by the Vulgate translator, Matt. 28:9. ANONYMOUS. — Sons and daughters. So he calls the faithful whom he begot through the Gospel: and this is the apostolic style. 1 Cor. 4:14, 17. Gal. 4:19. 1 John 2:1. MÉNARD.
(2) ‹Domini nostri qui nos› · printed under col 727
Nos. Vos, Usserius. FELL.
Us. You, Ussher. FELL.
(3) ‹dilexit, in pace› · printed under col 727
In pace. Magnarum, etc. Mallem sic constitui: in pace magna. Rerum honestarum Dei aequitate abundantiam, etc. ANONYM.
In peace. Of great, etc. I would rather it were arranged thus: in great peace. The abundance of the honourable things of God by equity, etc. ANONYMOUS.
(4) ‹honestarum Dei aequitate› · printed under col 727
Aequitate. Sic ms. At Felli editio Oxon. aequitatum. — Forte qualitatum, id est δικαιωμάτων. Vide Rom. V, 17. ANONYM.
By equity. So the manuscript. But Fell's Oxford edition has of equities. — Perhaps of qualities, that is, δικαιωμάτων. See Rom. 5:17. ANONYMOUS.
(5) ‹sic naturalem gratiam› · printed under col 727
Naturalem gratiam. Naturalis gratia est firma, altius radicata, et plantata in anima justi. Sic infra cap. IX, Vet. interp. reddit τὴν ἔμφυτον δωρεάν, naturale donum. MEN. — Imitatio Jac. I, 21. Δέξασθε τὸν ἔμφυτον λόγον. ANONYM.
Natural grace. Natural grace is grace that is firm, rooted more deeply, and planted in the soul of the just man. So below, in ch. 9, the old translator renders τὴν ἔμφυτον δωρεάν as natural gift. MÉNARD. — An imitation of James 1:21: Receive the implanted word. ANONYMOUS.
(6) ‹Propter quod plurimum gratulor› · printed under col 727
Plurimum gratulor... quia video. Iis consona, quae de Barnaba habentur Act. XI, 23. Qui quum pervenisset (Antiochiam), et vidisset gratiam Dei, gavisus est, etc.
I rejoice greatly... because I see. In harmony with what is said of Barnabas in Acts 11:23: Who, when he had come (to Antioch), and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced, etc.
(7) ‹spiritum ab honesto› · printed under col 727, running over to the head of col 728
Ab honesto. Scilicet egregio. Glossae veteres: Honestus, egregius: ἀξιόλογος. MEN.
From the honourable. That is, from the excellent. The old glossaries: Honestus, egregius: ἀξιόλογος (notable). MÉNARD.
(8) ‹et plenius› · printed under col 728
Plenius. Sic Felli edit. Oxon. Sic etiam legendum jubet Menardus. At ms. cum editt. plenus.
More fully. So Fell's Oxford edition. Ménard also directs that it be read so. But the manuscript, with the editions, has full.
(9) ‹Ideo, fratres› · printed under col 728
Fratres. Ita edit. Oxon. Al. cum ms. fors.— Vossius quoque legit fratres, quasi per compendium fuerit scriptum fras: quod exscriptor non intelligens, mutavit in fors; quae vox quidem Latina est, sed caret hic sensu. CLER.
Brethren. So the Oxford edition. Others, with the manuscript, have perhaps (fors).— Vossius also reads brethren, as though it had been written in abbreviation fras: which the copyist, not understanding it, changed into fors; a word which is indeed Latin, but has no sense here. LE CLERC.
(10) ‹hoc (quasi› · printed under col 728
Quasi. Forte, quia si.
As if. Perhaps, because if.
(11) ‹partiar ex eo› · printed under col 728
Clemens Alex. Στρωμ. lib. II, cap. 6, p. 445, edit. Oxon. h. l. laudat: Εἰκότως οὖν ὁ ἀπόστολος Βαρνάβας· Ἀφ' οὗ, φησὶν, ἔλαβον μέρους ἐσπούδασα κατὰ μικρὸν ὑμῖν πέμψαι· ἵνα μετὰ τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν, τελείαν ἔχητε καὶ τὴν γνῶσιν.
Clement of Alexandria, Stromata, book 2, ch. 6, p. 445 of the Oxford edition, quotes this place: Fittingly, then, the apostle Barnabas says: From the portion I have received I have been eager to send you a little, so that together with your faith you may have perfect knowledge also.
(12) ‹talibus spiritu servienti› · printed under col 728
Spiritu servienti. Sequor Fellum in edit. Oxon. ad mentem Menardi. Sic et Potterus ad Clem. Alex. locum mox describendum. Al. cum ms. spiritus servientes. Usserius, spiritibus.
To one serving in spirit. I follow Fell in the Oxford edition, in line with Ménard's view. So too Potter on the passage of Clement of Alexandria about to be quoted. Others, with the manuscript, have spirits serving. Ussher has to spirits.
(13) ‹mercede; appropiavi› · printed under col 728
Appropiavi. Imo approperavi. Vide II Tim. IV, 8, 21, Tit. III, 12 ubi σπούδασον a Vulg. int. vertitur festina, Gloss. vet. Σπουδάζω, f⟨e⟩stino, propero. CLER.
I have drawn near. Rather, I have hastened. See 2 Tim. 4:8, 21, Titus 3:12, where σπούδασον is rendered by the Vulgate translator make haste; the old glossary: Σπουδάζω, I make haste, I hasten. LE CLERC.
I. Salutatio Barnabae ad fratres.
I. The greeting of Barnabas to the brethren.
(GALLAND., Vet. Patr. Bibliot., I, 115; HEFELE, Patr. apostolic. Opera. Tubingae 1842, in-8, p. 1. — Initium hujus Epistolae antiquae versioni Latinae codicis Corbeiensis (ante saec. IX) debemus, cum desint in textu Graeco quatuor prima capita cum quinti dimidio. Hanc versionem antiquam, quae textus Graeci lacunam supplet, ex Gallandio mutuamur; ubi autem incipit textus Graecus, quem comitatur versio Cotelerii, editionem cl. viri Hefelii sequimur, subjecta pressioribus typis veteris interpretationis continuatione. EDIT.)
(Galland, Veterum Patrum Bibliotheca, vol. 1, p. 115; Hefele, Patrum apostolicorum Opera, Tübingen 1842, octavo, p. 1. — For the beginning of this Letter we are indebted to the ancient Latin version of the Corbie manuscript (before the ninth century), since the first four chapters with half of the fifth are lacking in the Greek text. This ancient version, which fills the gap in the Greek text, we borrow from Galland; but where the Greek text begins, which Cotelier's version accompanies, we follow the edition of the distinguished Hefele, with the continuation of the old translation set beneath in smaller type. THE EDITOR.)

Which (quae). So the Oxford edition, which Wake follows in his English version. Others, with the manuscript, have who (qui).
(15) ‹et altius accedere› · printed under col 729
Accedere. Menardus, accedite. Fellus litteris miniatis praemittit, oportet. « Sed in praeceptis, inquit Clericus, passim ante infinitivum δεῖ subauditur. »
To approach. Ménard has approach ye. Fell prefixes, in red letters, it is fitting. « But in precepts, says Le Clerc, δεῖ is commonly understood before an infinitive. »
(16) ‹non tanquam doctor› · printed under col 729
Non tanquam doctor. Respexit forte ad illud Matth. XXIII, 8: Vos autem nolite vocari Rabbi: unus est enim Magister vester; omnes autem vos fratres estis. Et ibid., 10: Nec vocemini magistri: quia magister vester, unus est Christus. Vide quoque Jac. III, 1. Sic in eamdem sententiam infra cap. IV: Hoc rogo vos tanquam unus ex vobis.
Not as a teacher. Perhaps he had in view that saying of Matt. 23:8: But do not be called Rabbi: for One is your Master; and all of you are brethren. And ibid., 10: Neither be called masters: for One is your master, Christ. See also James 3:1. So to the same effect below, ch. 4: This I ask you as one of you.
(17) ‹in plurimis laetiores sitis› · printed under col 729
In plurimis laetiores sitis. Ita I Joan. I, 4: Et haec scribimus vobis ut gaudeatis, et gaudium vestrum sit plenum. MEN.—Sic in calce hujus Epist., εἰς τὸ εὐφρᾶναι ὑμᾶς. FELL.
That you may be the more glad in very many things. So 1 John 1:4: And these things we write to you that you may rejoice, and your joy may be full. MÉNARD.—So at the end of this Letter: εἰς τὸ εὐφρᾶναι ὑμᾶς (to gladden you). FELL.
(18) ‹dies nequissimi› · printed under col 729
Cum sint dies nequissimi. Ita Paulus Ephes. V, 16, quoniam dies mali sunt. MEN.
Since the days are most evil. So Paul, Eph. 5:16: because the days are evil. MÉNARD.
(19) ‹et contrarius› · printed under col 729
Contrarius. Id est Satan. Glossarium vetus ms.: Satan, adversarius, contrarius. Quae subduntur, Habeat hujus saeculi potestatem, respondent Joan. XII, 31; XIV, 30; XVI, 11: Princeps hujus mundi; et Ephes. VI, 12: Sed adversus principes et potestates, adversus mundi rectores tenebrarum harum. MEN.
The adversary. That is, Satan. An old manuscript glossary: Satan, adversary, opponent. The words that follow, Has the power of this world, answer to John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11: The prince of this world; and Eph. 6:12: But against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness. MÉNARD.
(20) ‹aequitates Domini.› · printed under col 729 (call printed before Fidei)
Clemens Alex. l. c.: Τῆς μὲν οὖν πίστεως ἡμῶν εἰσιν οἱ συλλήπτορες, φόβος καὶ ὑπομονή· τὰ δὲ συμμαχοῦντα ἡμῖν, μακροθυμία καὶ ἐγκράτεια. Τούτων οὖν, τὰ πρὸς τὸν Κύριον, μενόντων ἁγνῶς, συνευφραίνονται αὐτοῖς σοφία, σύνεσις, ἐπιστήμη, γνῶσις. — Vocem συλλήπτορες ita explicat Hesychius: Συλλήπτορα, συναγωνιστήν· id est adjutorem. Et in Glossis veteribus: Σύλληψις, βοήθεια, opitulatio. MEN.
Clement of Alexandria in the place cited: The helpers of our faith, then, are fear and endurance; and our allies are long-suffering and self-control. While these, then, remain pure in the things that concern the Lord, wisdom, understanding, knowledge and insight rejoice together with them. — The word συλλήπτορες Hesychius explains thus: Συλλήπτορα, a fellow combatant; that is, a helper. And in the old glossaries: Σύλληψις, help, assistance. MÉNARD.
(21) ‹nostrae adjutores› · printed under col 729
Adjutores. Ms. cum editt. adjutor est; si Fellum excipias, apud quem, adjutores sunt, ex Clem. Alex. Jamque Menardus statuerat, expuncto verbo substantivo, legendum uno verbo, adjutores.
Helpers. The manuscript, with the editions, has is a helper; except Fell, who has are helpers, from Clement of Alexandria. And Ménard had already decided that, the substantive verb being struck out, it should be read in one word, helpers.
(22) ‹permanent casta› · printed under col 730
Casta. Integra. MEN. — Caste. COT.
Pure. That is, whole. MÉNARD. — Purely. COTELIER.
(23) ‹sapientia et intellectus› · printed under col 730
Intellectus. Addit Fellus litteris miniatis, scientia, cognitio; quas duas voces putat veterem interpretem praeteriisse, cum exstent apud Clem. Alex.
Understanding. Fell adds, in red letters, knowledge, insight; which two words he thinks the old translator passed over, since they are found in Clement of Alexandria.
(24) ‹veniatis videri mihi› · printed under col 730
Videri mihi. Ita edit. Oxon. Al. cum ms. videre mihi. — Lege videri, ut apud Tertull. lib. adversus Judaeos cap. 5, pag. 698: Nec si veniatis videri mihi. Juxta LXX: Οὐδ' ἂν ἔρχησθε ὀφθῆναί μοι: id est, nec si veniatis apparere mihi. Videri mihi est videri a me, phrasis Graeca. MEN. —Videsis Cl. Sabatierii Bibl. sac. Lat. Vers. ant. ad Isa. II, 11.
To be seen by me. So the Oxford edition. Others, with the manuscript, have to see me (videre mihi). — Read to be seen (videri), as in Tertullian, book Against the Jews, ch. 5, p. 698: Nor if you come to be seen by me. According to the Seventy: Nor if you come to appear to me; that is, nor if you come to appear to me. To be seen to me is to be seen by me, a Greek idiom. MÉNARD. — See the distinguished Sabatier's Bibliorum sacrorum Latinae versiones antiquae, on Isa. 2:11 [as printed].
(25-26) ‹et diem magnum› · printed under col 730 (one joint call printed (25-26)) Neomenias vestras et diem magnum. Editt. Clerici et Russelii, post Neomenias vestras, addunt et Sabbata. Habent quidem LXX: καὶ τὰ Σάββατα. Habent et Tertullianus, et Hieronymus, aliique apud Sabatierum l. c. At ea non agnoscit vetus Barnabae interpres, neque in prima Menardi Paris. edit. neque in altera Felli Oxon.
Your new moons and the great day. The editions of Le Clerc and Russel, after your new moons, add and the Sabbaths. The Seventy indeed have: and the Sabbaths. Tertullian also has it, and Jerome, and others cited by Sabatier in the place cited. But the old translator of Barnabas does not recognize these words, neither in Ménard's first edition, at Paris, nor in Fell's second, at Oxford.
(27) ‹et ferias› · printed under col 730
Ferias. Apud LXX: ἀργίαν, otium. Sed interpres legisse videtur ἀργίας, ferias. MEN.
Holidays. In the Seventy: ἀργίαν, rest. But the translator seems to have read ἀργίας, holidays. MÉNARD.
(28) ‹jugo necessitatis› · printed under col 730
Sine jugo necessitatis. Non astricta legi Mosaicae. Ζυγῷ δουλείας, jugo servitutis. Gal. V, 1. MEN.
Without the yoke of necessity. Not bound to the Mosaic law. Ζυγῷ δουλείας, by the yoke of bondage, Gal. 5:1. MÉNARD.
(29) ‹juramentum mendum› · printed under col 730
Mendum. Cave hoc mutes cum Menardo et Oxoniensibus, in mendax: est enim prisca vox Latina, ut docet Charisius lib. I: Mendum in mendacii significatione dicitur; menda, in culpa operis aut corporis. Hinc factum mendax. CLER.
False (mendum). Beware of changing this, with Ménard and the Oxford editors, into lying (mendax): for it is an old Latin word, as Charisius teaches, book 1: Mendum is said in the sense of a lie; menda, of a fault in a work or in a body. From this mendax was formed. LE CLERC.
(30) ‹mendum non habet› · printed under col 730
Habet. Leg. Menardus, habeat. Sicque edidit Fellus. Forte amet, sicut Zach. VIII, 17: Juramentum mendax ne diligatis.
Has. Ménard reads, let him have. And so Fell printed it. Perhaps let him love, as in Zech. 8:17: Do not love a lying oath.
(31) ‹ne quando habeat› · printed under col 730
Habeat. Videtur deesse vocabulum, Satan, vel Contrarius, vel quid simile, ante habeat. MEN.
May have. A word seems to be lacking before may have: Satan, or the Adversary, or something similar. MÉNARD.
(32) ‹nos a vita› · printed under col 730
Vita. Oxon. conjicit via. Sed non opus est: nam vita est pro vitae instituto. CLER.
Life. The Oxford edition conjectures way. But there is no need: for life stands for manner of life. LE CLERC.
II. Sacrificia Judaica abolita sunt.
II. The Jewish sacrifices have been abolished.
III. Jejunia Judaeorum non sunt vera nec Deo accepta.
III. The fasts of the Jews are not true, nor acceptable to God.

You fast (jejunaveris). So Fell. Others, with the manuscript, have jejunaveritis (you, plural, fast).
(34) ‹consignationem iniquam dele› · printed under col 731
Et omnem consignationem iniquam dele. Relegari debent ista ad marginem, unde in textum induxit ea nescio quis: sunt quippe alia versio verborum, πᾶσαν συγγραφὴν ἄδικον διάσπα, quae heic redduntur, Et omnem cautionem malignam dissipa: a Cypriano autem lib. De Orat. Domin. ante finem et lib. III Ad Quirinum cap. I: Et omnem consignationem injustam dissipa. COT.
And blot out every unjust sealed bond. These words ought to be sent back to the margin, from which someone or other brought them into the text: for they are another version of the words πᾶσαν συγγραφὴν ἄδικον διάσπα, which are rendered here, And tear up every malicious bond; but by Cyprian, in the book On the Lord's Prayer near the end, and in book 3 To Quirinus, ch. 1: And tear up every unjust sealed bond. COTELIER.
(35) ‹impotentium commerciorum› · printed under col 731
Impotentium commerciorum. Impotentium, id est violentorum. Commerciorum, in textu Graeco, συναλλαγμάτων. nam συνάλλαγμα est commercium. Glossae veteres: συνάλλαγμα, commercium. MEN.
Of violent dealings. Impotentium, that is, of the violent. Commerciorum (of dealings), in the Greek text συναλλαγμάτων: for συνάλλαγμα is a dealing. The old glossaries: συνάλλαγμα, a dealing. MÉNARD.
(36) ‹non despicies› · printed under col 731
Et domesticos seminis tui non despicies. Juxta LXX. At Vulg. juxta textum Heb., Et carnem tuam ne despexeris. Sed sensus idem esse videtur: nam domestici seminis tui, sunt homines ejusdem tecum naturae et carnis. ID.
And you shall not despise the members of the household of your seed. According to the Seventy. But the Vulgate, following the Hebrew text: And do not despise your own flesh. But the sense seems to be the same: for the members of the household of your seed are men of the same nature and flesh as you. THE SAME.
(37) ‹erumpet temporaneum› · printed under col 731
Temporaneum. Ita apud Tertullianum, lib. De resurr. carnis. In textu Graeco πρώϊμον juxta textum Heb., id est, matutinum. ID.
Early. So in Tertullian, book On the Resurrection of the Flesh. In the Greek text πρώϊμον, according to the Hebrew text, that is, of the morning. THE SAME.
(38) ‹et vestimenta tua› · printed under col 731
Vestimenta tua. Apud LXX. Juxta textum Hebraicum legitur ἰάματα, sanitates; pro quo quidam legerunt, ἱμάτια, vestimenta, ut notat S. Hieronymus. Hinc factum est, ut interpres Barnabae verterit, vestimenta: quod vocabulum sumpsit pro carne Tertullianus, lib. De res. carnis. MEN. — Sic legit quoque interpres qui versionem antiquam ab Irenaeo, Tertulliano et Cypriano receptam adornavit. FELL.
Your garments. In the Seventy. According to the Hebrew text one reads ἰάματα, healings; for which some have read ἱμάτια, garments, as St Jerome notes. Hence it came about that the translator of Barnabas rendered garments: a word which Tertullian took to mean the flesh, in the book On the Resurrection of the Flesh. MÉNARD. — So too read the translator who prepared the ancient version received by Irenaeus, Tertullian and Cyprian. FELL.
(39) ‹cito orientur› · printed under col 731
Orientur. Sic leg. Menardus: sicque edidit Fellus. Al. cum ms. oriuntur.
Shall spring up (orientur). So Ménard reads; and so Fell printed it. Others, with the manuscript, have spring up (oriuntur).
(40) ‹Tunc exclamas› · printed under col 731
Exclamas. Lege, exclamabis, ut apud S. Cyprianum lib. III De testimoniis. MEN.
You cry out. Read, you shall cry out, as in St Cyprian, book 3 of the Testimonies. MÉNARD.
(41) ‹suadelam malorum› · printed under col 731, running over to the head of col 732
Suadelam malorum. Χειροτονία apud LXX redditur hic suadela, quia perorantes extensa manu verba faciebant. FELL. — Opinari quis posset interpretem nostrum scripsisse, suadelam manuum. Quae conjectura non est Menardi, ut fertur apud Clericum, sed Ed. Bernardi.
The persuasion of evil men. Χειροτονία in the Seventy is rendered here persuasion, because orators made their speeches with outstretched hand. FELL. — One might suppose that our translator wrote, the persuasion of hands. This conjecture is not Ménard's, as is stated in Le Clerc, but Edward Bernard's.
(42) ‹de histantibus› · printed under col 732
De histantibus. Volo, de his statibus: περὶ τούτων καταστάσεων. BERN. — Al. de his tantis, vel instantibus. Lectio de his talibus, περὶ τοιούτων, Fello videtur aliquanto commodior. Usserius vero legebat: Oportet ergo non de instantibus multum scrutantes scribere vobis, quae non possint sanare. Porro quaenam has inter lectiones sit seligenda, suadet ipsemet vetus Interpres, apud quem infra cap. XVII, sic legas: Si enim de instantibus ac futuris scribam vobis.
Concerning histantibus. I would have it, concerning these states: περὶ τούτων καταστάσεων. BERNARD. — Others have, concerning these so great things, or, concerning things at hand. The reading concerning such things, περὶ τοιούτων, seems to Fell somewhat more suitable. But Ussher read: It is needful, then, not to write to you, searching much concerning things at hand, what cannot heal. Furthermore, which of these readings is to be chosen the old Translator himself advises, in whom below, in ch. 17, you may read thus: For if I write to you concerning things present and things to come.
(43) ‹quae nos› · printed under col 732
Nos. Ita edit. Oxon. Al. ms. non.
Us. So the Oxford edition. Others, the manuscript, have not.
(44) ‹futuro diligamur› · printed under col 732
Futuro diligamur. Fellus in edit. Oxon. ex conjectura Usserii, futura diligamus. Sic legit et Menardus.
That we may be loved in the time to come. Fell in the Oxford edition, from a conjecture of Ussher, has that we may love the things to come. So Ménard also reads.
(45) ‹Non demus› · printed under col 732
Demus. Usser. debemus. FELL.
Let us give. Ussher has we ought. FELL.
(46) ‹similemus› · printed under col 732
Similemus. Sic et paulo post, similetis: verbum neutraliter sumitur. MEN.
We become like (similemus). So too a little after, similetis: the verb is taken intransitively. MÉNARD.
(47) ‹sicut scriptum est› · printed under col 732
Sicut scriptum est, etc. Usserius, de qua scriptum est, sicut Daniel dicit. Fellus autem sic: Sicut scriptum est a Daniele.
As it is written, etc. Ussher has, of which it is written, as Daniel says. But Fell thus: As it is written by Daniel.
(48) ‹Dominus intercidit› · printed under col 732
Intercidit. Ms. interdicit. Haec respiciunt Matth. XXIV, 22. Vide Isa. X, 23; et Malach. III, 1. FELL.
Has cut short. The manuscript has has forbidden. These words look to Matt. 24:22. See Isa. 10:23; and Mal. 3:1. FELL.
(49) ‹acceleret dilectus› · printed under col 732
Dilectus. Usser. dilectos. FELL.
The Beloved. Ussher has the beloved ones. FELL.
(50) ‹propheta: Regna› · printed under col 732
Regna. Ita LXX: βασιλεῖαι. At Hebr. ut in Vulg., reges. MEN.
Kingdoms. So the Seventy: βασιλεῖαι. But the Hebrew, as in the Vulgate, has kings. MÉNARD.
(51) ‹et non nostrum est› · printed under col 732, running over to the head of the notes under col 733
Et non nostrum est. Editi ad unum omnes: Et nostrum est. Locum mutilum adeoque corruptum esse agnovit Cl. Marianus in notis ad S. Justini M. Cohort. ad Graec. cap. 13, p. 17. Itaque illum sic restituit: Dicunt quia Testamentum illorum, et non nostrum est. Hanc autem emendationem insinuat cum hujusce capitis contextus, tum in primis ipsemet S. Barnabas infra cap. XIII: Ἴδωμεν ... εἰ ἡ διαθήκη εἰς ἡμᾶς, ἢ εἰς ἐκείνους, Videamus ... utrum Testamentum ad nos, an ad illos pertineat. Quam quidem Barnabae sententiam S. Justinus l. c. his verbis illustrat: Εἰ δέ τις φάσκοι τῶν προχείρως ἀντιλέγειν εἰθισμένων, μὴ ἡμῖν τὰς βίβλους ταύτας, ἀλλὰ Ἰουδαίοις προσήκειν, διὰ τὸ ἔτι καὶ νῦν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς αὐτῶν σώζεσθαι, καὶ μάτην ἡμᾶς ἐκ τούτων φάσκειν τὴν θεοσέβειαν μεμαθηκέναι λέγοι· γνώτω ἀπ' αὐτῶν τῶν ἐν ταῖς βίβλοις γεγραμμένων, ὅτι οὐκ αὐτοῖς, ἀλλ' ἡμῖν ἡ ἐκ τούτων διαφέρει διδασκαλία. Quod si quis ex iis qui libenter contradicere solent, non nostros hos libros, sed Judaeorum proprios esse dicat, eo quod etiamnum in eorum synagogis asserventur, ac frustra religionem his libris acceptam a nobis referri: noverit ille ex iis ipsis quae his in libris scripta sunt, non Judaeorum, sed nostram esse horum librorum doctrinae possessionem. Nimirum contendebant Judaei, suum esse, non Christianorum, Vetus Testamentum. Quos ergo hic refellit S. Barnabas. Hac de re quoque Eusebium consule Demonstr. evang., lib. I, cap. 6.
And it is not ours. The printed editions, to a man: And it is ours. That the passage is mutilated and therefore corrupt was recognized by the distinguished Maran in his notes on St Justin Martyr's Exhortation to the Greeks, ch. 13, p. 17. And so he restored it thus: They say that the Testament is theirs, and not ours. This emendation is suggested both by the context of this chapter and above all by St Barnabas himself below, in ch. 13: Let us see ... whether the covenant is for us or for them, Let us see ... whether the Testament belongs to us or to them. This opinion of Barnabas St Justin, in the place cited, illustrates in these words: But if any of those who are accustomed to contradict offhand should say that these books belong not to us but to the Jews, because they are still preserved even now in their synagogues, and that we claim in vain to have learned our religion from them, let him know from the very things written in the books that the teaching in them concerns not them but us. That is: If anyone of those who readily contradict should say that these books are not ours but the Jews' own, because they are still kept in their synagogues, and that we in vain attribute to these books the religion we have received: let him learn from the very things written in these books that the possession of the teaching of these books is not the Jews' but ours. The Jews, of course, contended that the Old Testament was theirs, not the Christians'. These, then, St Barnabas refutes here. On this matter consult also Eusebius, Demonstration of the Gospel, book 1, ch. 6.
IV. Antichristus ante portas, ergo fugiamus errores judaizantium et opera malae viae.
IV. The Antichrist is at the gates; therefore let us flee the errors of the judaizers and the works of the evil way.

Clement of Alexandria quotes this passage, Stromata, book 2, ch. 7, p. 447: And Barnabas the apostle, having set first, « Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and knowing in their own sight, » added: « Let us become spiritual, a perfect temple to God; as far as it lies with us, let us meditate on the fear of God, and strive to keep His commandments, that we may rejoice in His ordinances. »

Cui dixit die. Post dixit, videtur deesse τὸ Pater.

VI, Λέγει γὰρ ἡ Γραφὴ περὶ ἡμῶν, ὡς λέγει τῷ Υἱῷ· Πιοήσωμεν κατ' εἰκόνα, etc. Id est: Dicit enim Scriptura de nobis, sicut dixit Filio (supple Deus, ut ex antecedentibus patet): Faciamus hominem ad imaginem, etc. MEN. — Mihi magis placet Bulli conjectura, qui hunc locum sic fortasse restituendum censet: Cui dixit Deus ante constitutionem mundi. Videsis ejus Defens. Fid. Nic., sect. I, cap. 2, § 2.
To whom He said on the day. After said, the word Father seems to be lacking. For from this he strives to prove the excellence of the Son too, that He is Lord of the world, and that the Father said to Him: Let us make man, etc. Which he also repeats below, in ch. 6: For the Scripture says concerning us, as He says to the Son: Let us make [man] after the image, etc. That is: For the Scripture says of us, as He said to the Son (supply God, as is clear from what precedes): Let us make man to the image, etc. MÉNARD. — Bull's conjecture pleases me more, who thinks this place should perhaps be restored thus: To whom God said before the foundation of the world. See his Defence of the Nicene Faith, sect. 1, ch. 2, § 2.

IV, cap. 20, n. 4: Prophetae ab eodem Verbo propheticum accipientes charisma, praedicaverunt ejus secundum carnem adventum. Quibus paria scripserat lib. IV, cap. 7, n. 2: Omnes qui ab initio cognitum habuerunt Deum, et adventum Christi prophetaverunt, revelationem acceperunt ab ipso Filio.
The prophets, having the gift from Him, etc. That is, of prophecy. For the prophets prophesied inspired by the Spirit of God. MÉNARD. — This passage Grabe vigorously defends in his Annotations on Bull's Defence of the Nicene Faith, § 5, p. 45, against Lucas Mellierus, or Samuel Crell. Indeed it seems to him that Irenaeus copied from Barnabas what he has in book 4, ch. 20, n. 4: The prophets, receiving the prophetic gift from the same Word, proclaimed His coming according to the flesh. Things like which he had written in book 4, ch. 7, n. 2: All who from the beginning have known God and have prophesied the coming of Christ received the revelation from the Son Himself.

He endured, so that He might fulfil the promise to the fathers. That is, He suffered, so that He might fulfil what had been foretold to the fathers of old through the prophets.

Et benedictus Dominus . . quia. Interpres vocem et interponens, videtur ea quae sequuntur pro sacrae Scripturae sensu laudasse. Fortasse Prov. III, 33, aut Psal. CXVIII, 12, sed Clemens Alex. praesentem lectionem Graeci textus confirmat. Ita Fell. qui ex Graecis item supplet noster et pro quia legit qui.
And blessed be the Lord . . because. The translator, by inserting the word and, seems to have cited what follows as the sense of holy Scripture. Perhaps Prov. 3:33, or Ps. 118:12; but Clement of Alexandria confirms the present reading of the Greek text. So Fell, who likewise supplies our from the Greek and for because reads who.
(10) ‹parabolam Dominus› · printed under col 740; call in the ancient version below the Greek
Dicit autem per prophetas parabolam Dominus. Locus corruptus. Lege, ut in textu Graeco, et apud Clementem: Dicit enim propheta: Parabolam Domini quis intelliget? Locus habetur Isa. XL, 13, Τίς ἔγνω νοῦν Κυρίου; Quis novit sensum Domini? Dixit autem Barnabas parabolam, quae est sermo allegoricus et obscurus, ut divinae mentis obscuritatem ostenderet. MEN. — Hanc Menardi emendationem secutus est Fellus in textu, nihil monens.
But the Lord speaks a parable through the prophets. The passage is corrupt. Read, as in the Greek text and in Clement: For the prophet says: Who shall understand the parable of the Lord? The passage is found in Isa. 40:13: Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who has known the sense of the Lord? Barnabas said parable, which is an allegorical and obscure discourse, to show the obscurity of the divine mind. MÉNARD. — Fell followed this emendation of Ménard in his text, without remark.
(11) ‹nos cognovit› · printed under col 740; call in the ancient version below the Greek
Cognovit. Fellus in textu restituit, recognovit. Sed in nota: Rectius, inquit, renovavit. Quod sane pridem Menardus monuerat.

Nos enim, sicut dicit Scriptura. Locus corruptus. Legendum, ut in textu Graeco: De nobis enim dicit Scriptura, sicut dicit Filio, Deus videlicet, aut Pater. MEN.
For we, as the Scripture says. The passage is corrupt. It should be read, as in the Greek text: For the Scripture says of us, as He says to the Son, namely God, or the Father. MÉNARD.

Vobis dicit. Forte, nobis fecit. — Menardus autem integrum hunc locum corruptum reputans, sic restituit: Rursus vobis ostendam, quomodo in novissimis temporibus fecit: antecedentibus et intermediis omissis.
He says to you. Perhaps, He made for us. — But Ménard, thinking this whole passage corrupt, restored it thus: Again I will show you how He made [it] in the last times; omitting what precedes and what lies between.

inter se: Circumveniamus justum, quia insuavis est nobis. Et Moyses autem dicit ad illos: . . Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Intrate in terram bonam, quam promisit Dominus Abrahae, Isaac et Jacob; et domini estote illius terrae, quae trahit lac et mel. Quid dicat scientia, discite: Credite, inquit, in eum qui in carne apparebit, Jesum. Homo enim terra est. . ; cum ex terra sit figmentum Adae. Quid ergo dicit: In terram bonam, fluentem lac et mel? Et benedictus Dominus. . , quia sapientiam et sensum posuit in nobis absconditorum suorum. Dicit autem per prophetas parabolam Dominus: Quis intelliget, nisi sapiens, . . . et diligens Dominum suum? Quia ergo, cum nos cognovit in remissionem peccatorum, fecit nos aliam figuram tanquam pueros habere, ut spiritu figuraret nos. Nos enim, sicut dicit Scriptura . . . . : Faciamus hominem ad imaginem et similitudinem nostram: et supersit bestiis terrae, et avibus coeli, et piscibus maris. Et Dominus, videns bonam figuram nostram, dixit: Crescite et multiplicamini, et replete terram. . . . Iterum vobis ostendam, quo modo vobis dicit secundam figuram

Cfr. Not. 7, sup.
The word Κύριος, which the ancient translator also did not read, you may either regard as wrongly added, or refer not to God but to the Prophet (David). — Note further that with these words begins the third, allegorical or gnostic, explanation of that biblical passage, by which he interprets that land of the Christian Church.

Ecce facio (Behold, I make). More correctly, faciam (I shall make). Fell. — Ménard, however, conjectures that with these words St Barnabas had in view either Isa. 43:18, or Jer. 33:7, or finally Lam. 5:21: Renew our days as from the beginning. For this prayer, he says, is a prediction of things to come.

Sicut per fidem... verbo... vivificamur (as through faith... by the word... we are brought to life). Others, following the Greek: Sic et per fidem... et verbo... vivificabimur (so also through faith... and by the word... we shall be brought to life). Fell, however, admitted only the first emendation.
(26) ‹anchor: "quia superesse", in the ancient Latin version below› · printed under col 742
Superesse. Sic sup. Faciamus hominem... et supersit bestiis terrae. Est igitur hic superesse vet. Interp. dominari, praeesse, excellere. Quo sane sensu verbum istud antiquis etiam scriptoribus Latinis interdum usurpatur.
Superesse. So above: Faciamus hominem... et supersit bestiis terrae (Let us make man... and let him be over the beasts of the earth). Here, then, superesse in the ancient translator is to rule, to be set over, to excel; and in that sense the word is indeed sometimes used by the ancient Latin writers too.

It is not in Holy Scripture; but among the Christians of the second century certain false traditions about the rites of the Jewish feast of expiations seem to have been spread abroad, which Barnabas here, and elsewhere Justin (Dialogue with Trypho, n. 40) and Tertullian (Against the Jews, ch. 14; Against Marcion 3.7), followed.

Populi mei (of My people). In the Greek text λαοῦ τοῦ καινοῦ, that is, of the new people: not so correctly, since Christ suffered for the whole world.

Sed unde sumpserunt, nisi ex hac Epistola? Men. — Cyrillus Alex. in Glaphyris: Καλοί τε καὶ ἰσομεγέθεις ἀλλήλοις ἄμφω τε ἰσήλικες, ὁμόχροοί τε καὶ κατ' οὐδένα τρόπον παθόντες τὴν ἐμπηρίαν· Hoc est, ut vertendum fuit: Pulchri, et ejusdem inter se magnitudinis ambo, et coaevi, item ejusdem coloris, nec ulla omnino affecti membrorum laesione. Cot.
Bonos, similes (good, alike). Read bonos et similes (good and alike). In the Greek text καλοὺς καὶ ὁμοίως: I have corrected it to ὁμοίους. Note that, although in Lev. 16 nothing is prescribed about the likeness of the goats, yet in St Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho, p. 259 of the Paris edition, they are called τράγοι δύο ὅμοιοι, that is, two like goats; and by Tertullian, in the book Against the Jews, last chapter, equal and alike. But from where did they take it, if not from this Letter? Ménard. — Cyril of Alexandria in the Glaphyra: Καλοί τε καὶ ἰσομεγέθεις ἀλλήλοις ἄμφω τε ἰσήλικες, ὁμόχροοί τε καὶ κατ' οὐδένα τρόπον παθόντες τὴν ἐμπηρίαν; that is, as it should have been translated: Fine, and both of the same size as each other, and of the same age, and also of the same colour, and affected by no injury of the limbs whatever. Cotelier.

In aram. Vetus interpres videtur legisse εἰς βωμόν. — Sed in eremum reponi debere, non tantum textus Graecus, sed etiam res ipsa satis indicat. Fell.

Belluam. Reddenda ratio, cur pro hyaena noster interpres belluam posuerit. Ea in promptu est: usus nempe desumptus ex notissima bestiae feritate. Lexicon Graeco-Latinum vetus: Ὕαινα, ζῶον, bellua. Glossae Labbaei, citatae a Salmasio ad Julii Capitolini Gordianos tres: Ὕαινα, velua: quod idem est cum belua sive bellua: B enim et V saepissime inter se commutantur. Isidori Glossae: Vestiae, balbae. Corrigo, belbae: hoc est, Bestiae, beluae. Julius Capitolinus in fine Gordiani tertii: Belbi, id est hyaenae. Belbi, belui, bellui, nequaquam differunt. Nullatenus ergo necessaria est virorum doctorum emendatio, qui in Barnabae interprete malunt belvum aut belbum. Cot.
Belluam (beast). A reason must be given why our translator put belluam for hyaena. It is ready to hand: the usage, namely, is taken from the well-known ferocity of the beast. An old Greek-Latin lexicon: Ὕαινα, an animal, bellua. Labbe's Glossaries, cited by Salmasius on Julius Capitolinus' Three Gordians: Ὕαινα, velua, which is the same as belua or bellua, for B and V are very often interchanged. The Glosses of Isidore: Vestiae, balbae. I correct it to belbae, that is, beasts, beluae. Julius Capitolinus, at the end of the Third Gordian: Belbi, that is, hyenas. Belbi, belui, bellui do not differ at all. The emendation of the learned men who prefer belvum or belbum in the translator of Barnabas is therefore in no way necessary. Cotelier.

Fell. — Non advertens interpres damnari hoc loco nefandam fellatorum et fellatricum nequitiam, alio rem traduxit, nempe ad audientes ac loquentes iniqua et impura. Cot.
Qui audit iniquitatem, etc. (who hears iniquity). More correctly: quos audimus ore impuro nequitiam patrare (whom we hear commit wickedness with an impure mouth). The translator seems to have read ὃς ἀκούει ἀνομίαν ποιοῦντας, καὶ τῷ στόματι λαλεῖ ἀκαθαρσίαν. Fell. — The translator, not noticing that in this place the unspeakable vice of those who practise oral defilement, men and women, is condemned, turned the matter elsewhere, namely to those who hear and speak wicked and impure things.

Renuosa. Puto legendum ruinosa. Men. — Oxoniensis editor habet in contextu eremosa; in notis vero conjicitur arenosa: nam, inquit, loca arenosa in primis deserta, vel renudosa. Stephanus le Moine conjiciebat rimosa, hoc est, prae siccitate hians. Vide quae scripsit p. 818, in Barnabam. Crediderim scriptum fuisse eremi, idque a dormitante librario corruptum; qualium depravationum nulla certa ratio excogitari potest. Cler.
Renuosa. I think ruinosa [ruinous] should be read. Men. — The Oxford editor has eremosa [desert] in the text; but in the notes arenosa [sandy] is conjectured: for, he says, sandy places are above all deserted; or renudosa. Stephanus le Moine conjectured rimosa, that is, gaping with dryness. See what he wrote on Barnabas, p. 818. I should think eremi was written, and corrupted by a drowsy copyist; of such corruptions no certain account can be devised. Cler.

De distinctione horum montium exstat tractatus antiquus inter opera Cypriano supposita. Cot. — Utrobique Sion Fellus restituit. Additque: « Sion scribi omnino debuit. Sed altera lectio interpretis tempore obtinuit: interim inveteratus error tempore non invalescit. »
Sina. He should have said Sion. Sina, then, is an error, either of memory in Barnabas or of carelessness in the copyists. For I could hardly believe that Sinai and Sion were taken by him for one and the same mountain. On the distinction of these mountains there is an ancient treatise among the works falsely ascribed to Cyprian. Cot. — Fell restored Sion in both places. And he adds: « Sion ought by all means to have been written. But the other reading prevailed in the translator's time: meanwhile an inveterate error does not gain strength with time. »

Αὐτὸς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ διὰ τοῦ Μωσέως τὸν χαλκοῦν ὄφιν ἐνήργησε γενέσθαι, καὶ ἐπὶ σημεῖον ἔστησε, δι' οὗ σημείου ἐσώζοντο ὀφιόδηκτοι: Ipse (Deus) in solitudine per Mosem effecit, ut serpens aeneus fieret, eumque signo imposuit; quo signo servabantur qui a serpentibus morsi fuerint. Ita Maranus ad h. l. Justini.
In cruce. He read, then, ἐπὶ σημείου. But today these words are missing in the text, and we read only καὶ τίθησιν ἐνδόξως: and sets it gloriously. St Justin has the same, Dialogue with Trypho n. 94: Αὐτὸς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ διὰ τοῦ Μωσέως τὸν χαλκοῦν ὄφιν ἐνήργησε γενέσθαι, καὶ ἐπὶ σημεῖον ἔστησε, δι' οὗ σημείου ἐσώζοντο ὀφιόδηκτοι: He Himself (God) in the wilderness brought it about through Moses that a bronze serpent was made, and set it upon a sign; by which sign those who had been bitten by serpents were saved. So Maran on this passage of Justin.
(69) ‹Moyses Ause filio Nave (Vetus interpretatio)› · printed under cols 763–764 (VARIORUM NOTAE)
Ause filio Nave. Haec aliter in textu Graeco, qui sic videtur castigandus: Τῷ Αὐσῇ τοῦ Ναυῆ υἱῷ. Josue autem appellatus est Ause, ut videre est ex lib. i Recognit. S. Clementis: Igitur Moyses his administratis Ausen quemdam nomine praeponens populo, etc. Sic Tertullianus Lib. adv. Judaeos, et lib. III, contra Marcionem: Dum Moysi successor destinatur Auses filius Nave, transfertur certe de primo nomine et incipit vocari Jesus. Idem docet pluribus locis S. Justinus martyr in Dialogo cum Tryphone. Lactantius lib. IV, De vera sapientia cap. 17, etc. Res gesta habetur Num. XIII, 17: ἐπωνόμασε Μωσῆς τὸν Αὐσῆ υἱὸν Ναυῆ, Ἰησοῦν. Men. — Atqui reprehendit S. Hieronymus lib. I, adv. Jovin. cap. 12, et initio Comment. in Oseam, nec non ad versum ultimum psalmi LXXVI, codices tum Graecos, tum sui temporis Latinos, quod Num. XIII, 17, Ause, non Osee scriptum exhiberent; cum tamen inter utrumque parva vel nulla videatur esse differentia. Ac forte scripserant LXX Ὡσηέ. Ita namque nunc etiam legitur apud Philonem lib. De nominum mutatione, et olim legebatur in ejusdem Judaei opere De nominibus Hebraicis, sicut patet ex versione Hieronymi, quae sectione de Numerorum libro, Osee repraesentat, non Ause. At Justinus M., Origenes, Eusebius, Theodoritus, Tertullianus, Lactantius, Rufinus atque Augustinus, Αὐσῆ, Αὐσῆν, Ause, Ausen et Auseam vocant. Simile quid versionis LXX notatur ab Origene ad Joan. I, 28, in secundo filio Judae patriarchae, Hebraice dicto Onan, Graece Aunan, Αὐνάν. Cot.
Ause filio Nave. This is otherwise in the Greek text, which it seems should be corrected thus: Τῷ Αὐσῇ τοῦ Ναυῆ υἱῷ. Now Joshua was called Ause, as may be seen from book 1 of the Recognitions of St Clement: So Moses, having arranged these things, setting over the people a certain man named Ausen, etc. So Tertullian, book against the Jews, and book 3 against Marcion: When Auses the son of Nave is appointed Moses' successor, he is certainly transferred from his first name and begins to be called Jesus. St Justin Martyr teaches the same in several places in the Dialogue with Trypho; Lactantius, book 4, On True Wisdom, ch. 17, etc. The event is found in Num. 13:17: ἐπωνόμασε Μωσῆς τὸν Αὐσῆ υἱὸν Ναυῆ, Ἰησοῦν. Men. — And yet St Jerome, book 1 against Jovinian, ch. 12, and at the beginning of the Commentary on Hosea, and also on the last verse of Psalm 76, finds fault with the codices, both the Greek and the Latin of his own time, because at Num. 13:17 they showed Ause written, not Osee; though between the two there seems to be little or no difference. And perhaps the LXX had written Ὡσηέ. For so it is read even now in Philo, in the book On the Change of Names, and it was once read in the same Jew's work On Hebrew Names, as appears from Jerome's version, which in the section on the book of Numbers gives Osee, not Ause. But Justin M., Origen, Eusebius, Theodoret, Tertullian, Lactantius, Rufinus and Augustine call him Αὐσῆ, Αὐσῆν, Ause, Ausen and Auseam. Something similar in the LXX version is noted by Origen on John 1:28, in the second son of the patriarch Judah, called Onan in Hebrew, in Greek Aunan, Αὐνάν. Cot.

Vidit autem Jacob in spiritu figuram populi, qui postea futurus erat: et. . . convertit manus, et transtulit dexteram super caput Ephraim minoris; et benedixit illum. Et dixit Joseph patri suo: Transfer manum tuam dexteram super caput Manassae, quia primitivus filius meus est. Et dixit Jacob: Scio, fili, scio: sed major serviet minori; sed et hic benedicetur. Videte quem voluerit esse primum. . . . testamenti haeredem. Sic ergo et per Abraham commemoratus est, habemus consummationem scientiae nostrae. Quid ergo dicit Abraham, cum solus credidisset, et positus esset in justitia? Ecce posui te, Abraham, patrem nationum, quae credunt Domino non circumcisae.

novissimum terrae, sicut dicit Dominus, qui te liberavit Deus: qui in hoc paratus est, ut adventum ipsius praecordia nostra quae jam absumpta erant a morte et tradita iniquitati.., liberaret a tenebris, et testaretur in nobis testamentum servorum suorum. Scriptum est enim quomodo illi Pater mandaverit, ut liberaret nos a tenebris, et pararet sibi populum sanctum. Dicit ergo propheta sic: Ego Dominus Deus tuus, vocavi te in aequitate: tenebo manum tuam et fortem te faciam: dedi te in testimonium gentibus, et in lumen nationum; ut aperias oculos caecorum, et educas de vinculis alligatos. . . . . . Scitote ergo, unde liberati sumus. Iterum propheta dicit: Spiritus Domini super me, propter quod unxit me; bene nuntiare hominibus misit me, curare contribulatos corde, praedicare captivis remissionem, et caecis visum, et vocare annum Domini acceptabilem. . . . . . . . . . . . XV. Adhuc et de Sabbato scriptum est in decem verbis, quibus locutus est in monte Sina ad Moysen, . . . . . . .: Sanctificate Sabbatum Domini manibus mundis, et puro corde. Et alibi dicit: Si custodierint filii mei Sabbatum, tunc faciam misericordiam in illis. Sabbatum dicit initium constitutionis: Et fecit Deus die sexto opera sua, et consummavit in die septimo, et requievit in illo die, . . . . Attendite, filii, quid dicit, consummavit in sex dies. Hoc dicit, quia consummavit Deus omnia in sex millia annorum. Dies enim apud illum, mille anni sunt. Ipse mihi testis est, dicens: Ecce hodiernus dies erit tanquam mille anni. Unde scire debetis, . . . quia . . . in sex millia annorum consummabuntur omnia. Et quid dicit, Requievit Deus die septima? Hoc est, cum venerit Filius illius, et amputabit tempus iniquitatis, et judicabit impios, et mutabit solem, lunam et stellas; tunc bene requiescet in die septima. Ad summam hoc dicit: Sanctificabis illum diem manibus mundis, et corde puro. Quem ergo diem sanctificavit Deus, quis potest sanctificare

Aperiens ostium templi nostri. Os in sequentibus interpretatur, quod revera est ostium corporis. Sed primum quid significat os aperire? Deinde quis nexus est inter apertionem oris et quae sequuntur in Graecis, μετάνοιαν διδοὺς ἡμῖν, dans nobis poenitentiam? Alludere videtur ad locum psalmi L, 17, ubi ita David: Domine, aperi labia mea, et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam. CLER.
Aperiens ostium templi nostri. In what follows he interprets it as the mouth, which is indeed the door of the body. But first, what does 'to open the mouth' mean? Next, what connection is there between the opening of the mouth and what follows in the Greek, μετάνοιαν διδοὺς ἡμῖν, giving us repentance? He seems to allude to the passage of Psalm 50:17, where David says: O Lord, open Thou my lips, and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. CLER.

De instantibus ac futuris. From this it is plain that the Greek should be read thus: Ἐὰν γὰρ περὶ τῶν ἐνεστώτων καὶ μελλόντων. MEN. — The word ἐνεστώτων, moved from its place, we have put back into the following sentence, prompted by the Latin version. FELL. — See note 42 on ch. 4, col. 732. From this Ussher's reading of that passage can be confirmed. CLER.

(49) ‹Habes interim (Vetus interpretatio)› · printed under cols 775–776 (VARIORUM NOTAE)
Habes interim, etc. Haec non sunt in textu Graeco. Hucusque versio Latina codicis Corbeiensis. MEN. — Quae autem desunt, Graecis litteris ita Fellus expressit: Ἔχεις οὖν περὶ τῆς μεγαλειότητος τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὡς πάντα εἰς αὐτὸν, καὶ δι' αὐτοῦ πεποίηται· ᾧ δόξα, κράτος καὶ τιμὴ, νῦν καὶ εἰς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.
Habes interim, etc. These words are not in the Greek text. The Latin version of the Corbie codex goes as far as this. MEN. — What is lacking, however, Fell rendered in Greek letters thus: Ἔχεις οὖν περὶ τῆς μεγαλειότητος τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὡς πάντα εἰς αὐτὸν, καὶ δι' αὐτοῦ πεποίηται· ᾧ δόξα, κράτος καὶ τιμὴ, νῦν καὶ εἰς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.

Deus inhabitat. Quo modo? Sermo fidei illius, vocatio promissionis illius, sapientia aequitatis, praecepta testamenti illius; in nobis prophetans ipse, et in nobis habitans. Quia cum sub servitute mortis eramus, aperiens ostium templi nostri, quod est os sapientiae, . . . . . . . fecit de nobis domum incorruptam. Qui enim concupiscit liberari, vivit non in hominem, sed in eo qui habitat . . . . . in illo: miratur quod nunquam tales sermones audierit eum dicentem, neque ipse concupierit audire. Hic est spiritaliter . . . . . aedificatus. XVII. Quantum . . . . fuerit in simplicitate demonstrandi nobis, . . . . non intermisi quidquam . . , . . . . Si enim de instantibus ac futuris scribam vobis, non intelligetis, quo modo in parabolis posita sunt multa. Haec autem sic sunt. Habes interim de majestate Christi, quomodo omnia in illum, et per illum, facta sunt: cui sit honor, virtus, gloria, nunc et in saecula saeculorum.
