409 _Irenæi Scripta Anecdota_, Frag. 2. p. 29. Διότι καὶ ἑ προσφορὰ τῆς
εὐχαριστίας οὐκ ἔστι σαρκικὴ ἀλλὰ πνευματικὴ, καὶ ἐν τούτῳ καθαρά.
Προσφέρομεν γὰρ τῷ Θεῷ τὸν ἄρτον καὶ τό ποτήριον τῆς εὐλογίας,
εὐχαριστοῦντες αὐτῷ, ὅτι τῇ γῇ ἐκέλευσεν ἐκφύσαι τοὺς καρποὺς
τούτους εἰς τροφὴν ἡμετέραν. καὶ ἐνταῦθα τὴν προσφορὰν τελέσαντες
ἐκκαλοῦμεν τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, ὅπως ἀποφῄνη τὴν θυσίαν ταύτην καὶ
τὸν ἄρτον σῶμα τοῦ Χριστοῦ, καὶ τό ποτήριον τὸ αἷμα τοῦ Χριστοῦ· ἵνα
οἱ μεταλάβοντες τούτων τῶν ἀντιτύπων τῆς ἀφέσεως τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν καὶ
τῆς ζωῆς αἰωνίου τύχωσιν. Οἱ οὖν ταύτας τὰς προσφορὰς ἐν τῇ
ἀναμνήσει τοῦ Κυρίου ἄγοντες οὐ τοῖς τῶν Ἰουδαίων δόγμασι
προσέρχονται, ἀλλὰ πνευματικῶς λειτουργοῦντες τῆς σοφίας υἱοὶ
κληθήσονται.
410 Judæi autem non offerunt: ... non enim receperunt Verbum _quod
offertur_ Deo. See p. 182.
411 ——Verbum, _per quod offertur_ Deo.
412 IV. xvii. 6. Quoniam ergo nomen Filii proprium Patris est, et in Deo
omnipotente per Jesum Christum offert Ecclesia, bene ait secundum
utraque: “Et in omni loco incensum offertur nomini meo et sacrificum
purum.” Incensa autem Joannes in Apocalypsi orationes esse ait
sanctorum.
413 Justin Martyr again: (_Dial._ 117.) Πάντας οὖν οἳ διὰ τοῦ ὀνόματος
τούτου θυσίας ἅς παρέδωκεν Ἰησοῦς ὁ Χριστὸς γίνεσθαι [προσφέρουσιν
must be introduced either here or further on], τουτέστιν ἐπὶ τῇ
εὐχαριστίᾳ τοῦ ἄρτου καὶ τοῦ ποτηρίου, τὰς ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ τῆς γῆς
γινόμενας ὑπὸ τῶν Χριστιανῶν, προσλαβῶν ὁ Θεὸς μαρτυρεῖ εὐαρέστους
ὑπάρχειν αὐτῷ.
414 IV. xviii. 5. See p. 184, note.
415 V. ii. 3.
416 IV. xviii. 5.
417 See the _Fragment_, p. 186, note 6.
418 See p. 72, note 9.
419 Diss. III. § 76. See the passage quoted below, p. 200, note 2.
420 IV. xxvii. 2. Quemadmodum enim illi (the Patriarchs and just men of
old) non imputabant nobis incontinentias nostras, quas operati
sumus, priusquam Christus in nobis manifestaretur; sic et nos non
est justum imputare ante adventum Christi his qui peccaverunt. Omnes
enim homines egent gloria Dei; justificantur autem non a semetipsis,
sed a Domini adventu, qui intendunt (probably οἱ κατανοούμενοι; see
I. ii. 3, where the Old Translator renders κατανοήσασαν by _cum
intendisset_) lumen ejus. Et illis quidem curatio et remissio
peccatorum mors Domini fuit.—In IV. vi. 5. the opposite to
_intendunt lumen_ is _fugiunt lumen_.
