These ἀποτάγματα are set out in detail in the Μέρος τευχῶν Σωτῆρος (pp. 255 _sqq._ Copt.), where the disciples are ordered to “preach to the whole world ... renounce (ἀποτασσετε) the whole world and all the matter which is therein, and all its cares and all its sins, and in a word all its conversation (ὁμιλιαι) which is therein, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the Light, that ye may be preserved from all the punishments which are in the judgments” and so on. It should be noted that these are only required of the psychics or animal men. Footnote 569: No doubt in the Greek original the actual seal was here figured. For examples, see the Bruce Papyrus, _passim_. The idea is typically Egyptian. As M. Maspero says in his essay on “La Table d’Offrandes,” _R.H.R._ t. xxxv. No. 3 (1897), p. 325: no spell was in the view of the ancient Egyptians efficacious unless accompanied by a talisman or amulet which acted as a material support to it, as the body to the soul. Footnote 570: p. 238, Copt. Footnote 571: Hatch, _op. cit._ p. 296, n. 1, for references. Footnote 572: 1 Cor. xv. 29. The practice of “baptizing for the dead,” as the A. V. has it, evidently continued into Tertullian’s time. See Tertull. _de Resurrectione Carnis_, c. XLVIII. p. 530, Oehler. Footnote 573: Döllinger, _First Age_, p. 327. Footnote 574: Hatch, _op. cit._ p. 307. The Emperor Constantine, who was baptized on his deathbed, was a case in point. The same story was told later about the Cathars or Manichaeans of Languedoc. The motive seems in all these cases to have been the same: as baptism washed away all sin, it was as well to delay it until the recipient could sin no more. Footnote 575: Hatch, _op. cit._ p. 295 and note, for references. Footnote 576: p. 236, Copt. Footnote 577: See n. 2, p. 166 _supra_. Footnote 578: Döllinger, _First Age_, pp. 234, 235.

Footnote 581: Hatch, _op. cit._ p. 342. Footnote 582: p. 228, Copt. Footnote 583: pp. 230, 231, Copt. Footnote 584: The _Pistis Sophia_ proper comes to an end twenty pages later.

For the passage quoted in text, see his _First Apology_, c. LXVI., where he mentions among other things that the devils set on the worshippers of Mithras to imitate the Christian Eucharist by celebrating a ceremony with bread and a cup of water. Footnote 587:
