and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to Whom be glory and might, now and for ever and ever. Amen. FOOTNOTES [1]Card. Newman. [2]Palladius, _Life of St. Chrysostom_, in his works, vol. xiii., pp. 39, 40. [3]In writing the above sketch, Nirschl’s _Lehrbuch der Patrologie und Patristik_ has been used, and Cardinal Newman’s notice of the Saint quoted once or twice, and everywhere borne in mind.

[7]St. Chrysostom here refers from memory to the _Acts_, where Peter and _John_ are spoken of as “illiterate and ignorant men” (c. iv., v. 13). [8]Translated from Greek Benedictine Edition in folio, tom. ii., p. 2. [9]I have ventured to change ἐννατήν into _another_. It is part of a long argument. [10]δεκάτην αἰτίαν. [11]Compare with St. Augustine, _Da amantem et sentit quod dico_. [12]Translated from the Greek Benedictine Edition in folio. [13]Compare with St. Augustine: Unde temporibus eruditis, et omne quod fieri non potest respuentibus, sine ullis miraculis nimium mirabiliter incredibilia credidit mundus?—_De Civitate Dei_, l. xxii., c. viii. [14]Μὰλλον δὲ οὐκ αὐτοὶ µόνοι, ἀλλὰ καὶ ὁ πάντων κορυφαῖος Πέτρος. [15]Ὅµιλια προ τῆς ἐξορίας. Benedictine Edition. There is a doubt about the authenticity of the latter part of this Homily, which has not been translated. [16]Ἐκκλησίας δὲ σάρκα ἀνέλαβε. [17]Translated from the Greek German Edition, Περὶ Ἱερωσυνῆς. Leipzig, 1872. [18]See Ezekiel, c. xxxiii., v. 6. [19]Benedictine Edition, t. xii., p. 167. [20]Greek Oxford Edition. [21]Ἀλλ’ αὐτὸς ὁ σταυρωθεὶς ὑπὲρ ἡµῶν Χριστός. [22]... µεταῤῥυθµίζει τὰ προκείµενα. [23]The single word _altar_ has to stand for the Greekβωµός and θυσιαστήριον, the former meaning the altar on which a bloody offering is made, the latter the altar on which the sacrifice after the order of Melchisedec is offered. [24]P. 295 of the same Homily. [25]Blessed Thomas More’s words to his wife will here occur to many: ‘How long, thinkest thou, I might still live?’ and when she replied, ‘Full twenty years, if it so pleases God,’ answered, ‘Should I give up eternity for twenty years?’ [26]Benedictine Edition, tom. iii., p. 515. St. Chrysostom wrote this letter, A.D. 404, before his second exile, from which he never returned. Copies of it were sent to the Archbishops of Milan and Aquileia. [27]The _Curiosi_ were officers whose business it was to pursue crime and treason of all kinds, and to summon and denounce the guilty to the emperor.—_Benedictine’s note._ [28]Holy Saturday. [29]Uninitiated (ἀµύητοι ἦσαν), to speak the language of that day.
