§ I. II. Clement commends the Corinthians for their order and piety before their schism began, Page 1 III. The origin of their strife, Page 2 Noah, Page 6 Lot, Page 7 XVI. He refers to the example of Jesus Christ, who came in great humility, Page 10 XVII. XVIII. And to Elijah, Elisha, Ezekiel, Job, Daniel and David, Page 11 XIX. And thence exhorts them to orderly obedience, Page 12 XX. He shows that order is the principle of the universe, Page 13 XXI. He exhorts them to obedience, in compliance with the will of God; who is ever present, Page 14 XXIII. The promises and threatenings of God will surely and speedily come to pass, Page 15 XXVII. Hence God is faithful, and will perform his promises, Page 17 XXXV. For this purpose God hath made to us many glorious promises, Page 20 XXXVI. And given us our great High Priest, Jesus Christ, Page 21 XL. And God hath accordingly appointed every thing to be done decently and in order in the Church, Page 24 XLI. Hence he exhorts them to the observance of order, Page 25 XLIII. Even as the priesthood was especially appointed by God, under the Jewish law, Page 26 XLIV. The Apostles foretold that contentions should arise respecting the ministry, Page 27 XLV. He again refers them to the examples of obedience in the Scriptures, Page 28 XLVII. Especially to the Epistle of St. Paul to them, Page 29 XLVIII. The higher gifts a man may have, the more humble-minded he ought to be, Page 30 L. It is the gift of God, and must be sought for by prayer, Page 31 LI. He exhorts those who had caused these divisions to repent, Page 32 LV. And to other examples among the Heathen, Page 34 LVI. He recommends mutual prayer, Page 35 LVII. And humiliation, Page 36 Note (A). On the preaching of St. Paul in the West, Page 38 ---. The probable duration of St. Paul's preaching after his first imprisonment, Page 39 ---. Evidence in favor of his preaching in Britain, Page 40 Note (B). On the Epistle of Clement, c. xvi. p. 16, Page 42 ---. Extract from the Epistle to Diognetus, Page 43 § I. Polycarp congratulates the Philippians, on the reception which they gave the confessors of the faith of Christ, Page 46 II. Exhorts them to perseverance from the consideration of the resurrection: and reminds them of the precepts of Christ, Page 47 III. Polycarp assumes not the authority or wisdom of St. Paul, to whose Epistle to them he refers, Page 48 VII. Whosoever confesses not that Christ is come in the flesh, is antichrist, Page 50 VIII. IX. He exhorts them to patience by the imitation of Christ, and of the Apostles and others, Page 51 XI. Polycarp expresses his regret for the misconduct of Valens and his wife, Page 52 XIII. XIV. He refers to the Epistles of Ignatius, and desires to know if they have received any certain intelligence respecting him, Page 53 I. Ignatius thanks the Ephesians for sending their Bishop Onesimus to meet him, as he was passing bound from Syria to Rome, Page 56 III. IV. He disclaims all personal superiority, but in charity recommends them to obey their Bishop and the Presbytery, Page 57 V. VI. He expatiates upon the character of Onesimus, and the Episcopal authority generally, Page 58 VIII. Commends the integrity of their faith, Page 59 XII. And contrasts his own condition with theirs, Page 61 XIV. And exhorts to faith and charity, Page 62 XVIII. Expresses his willingness to die for the cross of Christ, Page 63 XX. He purposes sending to them a second Epistle, declaring the faith more fully, Page 64 XXI. Beseeches their prayers for the Church which is in Syria, and bids them farewell, Page 65 I. Ignatius salutes the Church at Magnesia, Page 66 V. The difference of the faithful and the unfaithful, Page 67 XI. Ignatius disclaims any personal authority, Page 70 I. Ignatius commends the purity and godliness of the Trallians, of which he has been assured by their Bishop, Polybius, Page 72 IV. V. He refrains from boasting, and from speaking of heavenly things, Page 73 IX.-XI. To stop their ears if any spake to them against Jesus Christ, or declared that he existed and suffered in appearance only, Page 75 XII. XIII. He salutes them in his own name and that of the faithful who are at Smyrna and Ephesus, Page 76 I. After a salutation to the Church at Rome, he recommends them not to interfere to hinder his martyrdom, Page 77 II.-IV. But to permit him to be offered up, as he was ready to be, for the sake of Christ; and to strengthen him with their prayers, Page 78 V. He mentions the evil treatment which he endured from the soldiers, on his passage from Syria to Rome, Page 79 VI. But expresses his full determination to die for Christ, Page 80 VIII. He again urges them not to prevent the accomplishment of his wishes, Page 81 X. And mentions with honor those who were with him, Page 82 I. Ignatius recommends Church unity, praises their Bishop, Page 83 V. He entreats their prayers, Page 84 VI. Warns them against Judaizing teachers, Page 85 IX. And shows the excellence of the Gospel above the law, Page 86 XI. And concludes with a salutation, Page 87 I. Ignatius praises their immoveable faith in Christ who truly lived and suffered for us, Page 88 IV. He warns them against heretics, and commands them to pray for them; although their conversion rests with Christ, Page 90 X. He commends them for receiving Philo and Rheus, Page 93 XII. XIII. And concludes with a salutation, Page 94 I. He exhorts Polycarp to persevere in the diligent discharge of his Episcopal office, Page 96 III. To endure all things, Page 97 VI. And adds advice to the whole Church, Page 98 VIII. Directs Polycarp to write to the Churches near him; and concludes with a salutation, Page 99 I. Justin addresses the Emperor Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius, and Lucius Verus, Page 125 II. And represents that their names and station required them to regard truth alone, Page 126 III. He demands that the charges against the Christians should be examined: that the Christians should be impartially treated, according as they deserved, and not be punished for a mere name, Page 127 IV. Christianity ought not to be judged of, from the misconduct of some who only profess the name, Page 128 V. Justin attributes the injustice of the Heathens toward the Christians, to the instigation of demons, Page 129 VII. He requires that the actions of all those accused should be examined, Page 131 VIII. The Christians suffer only because they dare not deny the truth, Page 132 IX. And will not pay honor to false gods and senseless idols, Page 133 XI. The kingdom which Christians expect, is not of this world, Page 134 XII. Their religion is the best means of preserving peace, Page 135 XIV. Jesus Christ foretold their persecutions, Page 136 XVII. A most beneficial change had taken place in lives of those who had become Christians, Page 137 XVIII. Many precepts of Christ teach chastity, Page 138 XIX. --the love of all men, Page 139 XX. --the patient endurance of evil, Page 140 XXII. Christ declared that they who live not as he taught, are not Christians indeed, Page 141 XXIV. The superstitions of the Heathens themselves might make them believe that the soul survives death, Page 142 XXV. The resurrection of the body is not so incredible as its first formation would be, to one who had no experience of it, Page 144 XXVI. Christ taught that things impossible with man are possible with God, Page 145 XXVIII. It is, therefore, unreasonable that Christians alone should be hated, while poets and philosophers, who entertain less just and sublime notions, are honored, Page 146 XXX. And shows that their opinions respecting Christ might well obtain credence from those who held notions of a similar nature respecting their own deities, Page 147 XXXI. The truths of Christianity are more ancient than the fables of heathenism, Page 148 XXXII. Yet Christians alone are punished, while the most absurd idolatries are permitted, Page 149 XXXIV. Even after the ascension of Christ the evil spirits have instigated men to call themselves gods: as in the instance of Simon Magus and Menander, Page 150 XXXV. The heresy of Marcion, Page 151 XXXVI. Justin refutes the calumnies brought against the Christians, of devouring children, and incest: and retorts the charges upon the Heathen, Page 152 XXXVII. The purity and continence of the Christians, Page 154 ---. Lest the miracles of Christ should be ascribed to magic, Justin appeals to prophecy, Page 155 XXXIX. In those prophecies, the miraculous birth of Jesus, his being made man, his miracles, sufferings, death, resurrection and ascension, his Divine nature, and the extension of his religion over the whole world are expressly predicted, Page 156 LIII. Justin explains why the Holy prophetic Spirit speaks of future events as already past, Page 166 LV. But believe this only to be irreversibly determined, that they who choose the good shall be rewarded, and they who choose the evil shall be punished, Page 167 LVII. And shown to agree with the opinion of Plato, Page 168 LX. David predicted that God the Father should receive Christ into heaven, Page 169 LXI. Justin asserts that all men, in all ages, who lived agreeably to right reason, were Christians in spirit, Page 170 LXII. Various prophecies, showing that Jerusalem should be destroyed, Page 171 LXIV. That He should be made man, and suffer many things, and come again in glory, Page 172 LXV. That He hath an origin which cannot be expressed, Page 173 LXVI. The fulfilment of these prophecies is an earnest that those yet unaccomplished will be fulfilled, Page 174 LXVII. And, therefore, that Christ will come the second time to judgment, Page 175 LXVIII. These prophecies had fully persuaded the Christians to believe Christ, who was crucified, to be the first-born of the unbegotten God, Page 175 LXIX. The conversion of the Gentiles was foretold, Page 176 LXX. The evil demons, knowing the prophecies respecting Christ, invented fables of a similar nature, to deceive men, Page 177 LXXII. But in no fable was the crucifixion of Christ imitated, Page 178 LXXIII. The demons also, after the ascension of Christ, raised up men, such as Simon and Menander, before mentioned, in § 34, Page 179 LXXIV. The malice of these evil spirits can, however, only instigate the enemies of the Christians to destroy them, Page 180 LXXVI. LXXVII. Plato obtained his notions respecting the creation of the world, and other opinions, from the writings of Moses, Page 181 LXXVIII. It is not, then, that the Christians adopt the opinions of others, but others, theirs, Page 182 LXXIX. Justin explains the manner in which believers are baptized, Page 183 LXXX. Shows that this new birth is necessary; and that baptism is performed in the name of God the Father, and of Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit, Page 184 LXXXII. He declares that it was the Son of God, who appeared to Moses in the bush, Page 185 LXXXIII. And to the prophets in various forms, Page 186 LXXXIV. And asserts that the demons imitated what they learned from the writings of Moses, in several instances, Page 187 LXXXVI. He explains the nature of that sacrament; that the elements are not common bread, nor common drink; and relates the manner of its institution, Page 189 LXXXVII. The Christians assemble on Sunday.
