Chapter 38

Notes

1. 1

   Reading “sic ut istius comparatione,” for the “sicut istius paratione” of the codex.

2. 2

   Reading se ductores, for the seductores, etc., of the codex.

3. 3

   Seculis.

4. 4

   Continentes.

5. 5

   Phil. ii. 13.

6. 6

   The precise meaning and connection are somewhat obscure here. The text gives, “verbum enim ducis obtinet locum, opera vero regis.” And the idea is taken to be, that the actual work of thoroughly doing away with the ignorance of men was something that suited only the perfect King who was expected, and that had not been accomplished by Manes.

7. 7

   Phil. iii. 19.

8. 8

   1 Thess. v. 1, 2.

9. 9

   Alluding to 2 Tim. iii. 6.

10. 10

    Routh inserts interdum pœnitet = sometimes he uses the penitential style, which Migne omits.

11. 11

    Matt. xxv. 44.

12. 12

    Matt. xxv. 46; Luke xiii. 27.
