[74] 'De scriptis quae sub Dionysii Areopagitae et Ignati Antiocheni nominibus circumferuntur,' &c. (1666). The Bishop of Durham characterizes Daille's treatment of the Ignatian writings as marked 'by deliberate confusion.' He knows the facts, but makes the Vossian letters bear all the odium attached to the 'long' recension. Pearson's work, 'Vindiciae Epistolarum S. Ignatii,' appeared six years later in 1672. This reply as compared with the attack was 'as light to darkness.' In England it closed the controversy. [75] Trall. 5. [76] See, for example, Rom. 4, 9: Trall. 3, 13; Ephes. 1, 3, 21. [77] Rom. 5. [78] Smyrn. 8. [79] See i. 400, 405. [80] Consult Bishop Lightfoot's Essay on this subject in his Commentary on the Epistle to the Philippians (p. 181, &c.). The 'Teaching of the Twelve Apostles,' published in 1884, is rightly referred to now by the Bishop of Durham as confirming his positions. [81] Comp. Irenaeus, 'Haer.' iii. 3, Sec. Sec. 3,4; iii. 14, Sec. 2. [82] Essay in 'Philippians,' p. 218. [83] Cf. Bishop Lightfoot's edition of 'St. Clement of Rome,' App. p. 252, &c. [84] Iren. 'Haer.' iii. 3, 4. [85] Cf. i. 568, &c. [86] See i. 50, &c.; ii. 532. The Bishop of Durham's collection of facts and references dealing with this subject is an admirable specimen--everywhere repeated--of the exhaustive treatment he applies to single points. [87] Letter of the Smyrnaeans, Sec. 12. [88] He had learnt the trick of keeping lighted tow or straw in his mouth. See other instances in Milman's 'History of the Jeos,' ii. 429, n. _x_. [89] Cf. Justin Martyr in Eusebius, 'Hist.' iv, 8. [90] i. 422, 629, &c. Mr. Rendell, in the 'Studia Biblica' (oxf. 1885), has come to the same conclusion by an independent treatment. [91] Haer. v. 33, 34. [92] Euseb. 'Hist. Eccl.' v. 20 [93] Iren. 'Haer.' iii. 3. [94] The genuineness of the main document (at least) is unaffected by recent attacks. The impugning process of Schuerer, Lipsius, and Kelm has been successfully resisted by Renan, Hilgenfeld (in part), and the Bishop of Durham (i 588, &c.). [95] The subjects of the Asiarchate, of the identity of Asiarch and high-priest, have suggested to the Bishop of Durham another of those exhaustive discussions which will win for him the gratitude of the students (see ii. 987, &c.) [96] The name given by the heathen to the Christians, whom they counted godless because they had neither image nor visible representation of the Deity. See ii. 160, note to line 1. [97] See i. 599 nn. 1, 6. [98] On the celebrated reading, 'there came forth a dove and a quantity of blood, see ii. 974, note to i. 3. It is to be explained by the belief, that the soul departed from the body at death in the form of a bird; the dove most readily suggesting itself as the emblem of a Christian soul. Art.
