Clem. R. _ad Corr._ I. 2. Ἀγὼν ἦν ὑμῖν ἡμέρας τε καὶ νυκτὸς ὑπὲρ
πάσης τῆς ἀδελφότητος, εἰς τὸ σώζεσθαι μετ᾽ ἐλέους καὶ συνειδήσεως
τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ.
Justin M. _Apol._ I. 45. Ἀγαγεῖν τὸν Χριστὸν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ὁ Πατὴρ
τῶν πάντων Θεὸς ... ἔμελλε, καὶ κατέχειν ἕως ἂν πατάξῃ τοὺς
ἐχθραίνοντας αὐτῷ δαίμονας, καὶ συντελεσθῇ ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν
προεγνωσμένων αὐτῷ, ἀγαθῶν γινομένων καὶ ἐναρέτων, δι᾽ οὓς καὶ
μηδέπω τὴν ἐπικύρωσιν πεποίηται.
384 “Beseeching thee that it may please thee of thy gracious goodness
shortly to accomplish the number of thine elect, and to hasten thy
kingdom.”
385 IV. xxxvi. 2. Qui priores, sive primum, per servilem legisdationem
vocaverat Deus, hic posteriores, sive postea, per adoptionem
assumpsit. Plantavit enim Deus vineam humani generis, primo quidem
per plasmationem Adæ et electionem patrum; tradidit autem colonis
per eam legisdationem quæ est per Moysem; sepem autem circumdedit,
id est, circumterminavit eorum culturam; et turrim ædificavit,
Hierusalem elegit; et torcular fodit, receptaculum prophetici
Spiritus præparavit.... Non credentibus autem illis, novissime misit
Filium suum, (misit Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum) quem cum
occidissent mali coloni, projecerant extra vineam. Quapropter
tradidit eam Dominus Deus non jam circumvallatam, sed expansam in
universum mundum aliis colonis, reddentibus fructus temporibus suis,
turre electionis exaltata ubique et speciosa: ubique enim præclara
est ecclesia, et ubique circumfossum torcular; ubique enim sunt qui
suscipiunt Spiritum.
386 IV. xxxvi. 8. Sed quoniam et patriarchas qui elegit et nos, idem est
Verbum Dei, &c.
387 V. i. 1. supra.
388 III. vi. 1. Hæc (Ecclesia) enim est synagoga Dei, quam Deus, hoc est
Filius, ipse per semetipsum collegit.
389 IV. xxi. 3. Variæ oves, quæ fiebant huic Jacob merces; et Christi
merces, qui ex variis et differentibus gentibus in unam cohortem
fidei convenientes fiunt homines.
390 See p. 173.
391 See p. 167, note 1.
392 I. xxi. 1. Καὶ ὅτι μὲν εἰς ἐξάρνησιν τοῦ βαπτίσματος, τῆς εἰς Θεὸν
ἀναγεννήσεως, καὶ πάσης τῆς πίστεως ἀπόθεσιν, ὑποβέβληται τὸ εἶδος
τοῦτο ὑπὸ τοῦ Σατανᾶ, κ. τ. λ.
393 II. xxii. 4. See p. 94, note 2.
394 V. xv. 3. Et quoniam in illa plasmatione, quæ secundum Adam fuit, in
transgressione factus homo indigebat lavacro regenerationis.
395 V. vi. 1. viii. 2. See p. 101, note 8.
