PBEFACE TO SECOND EDITION.
Ix preparing this Second Edition of the AtSaxv for
the press the Editor has corrected a few misprints, but
has made no further alterations. He may, however,
say that his conviction as to a very early date for the
treatise (perhaps A.D. 60 70) is much strengthened.
But this may possibly not apply to the whole writing.
The following additional matter has come to his
knowledge :
ATranslation, with notes, &c., by Professor G. Bonet-
Maury. Paris, 1884.
An Edition, with notes, &c., by Canon Spence. Lon-
don, 1885.
Another, with notes, &c., by M. Paul Sabatier. Paris,
1885.
And notices in reviews and periodicals, of which the
chief are,
Bapheides in 'EK^o-iaon*^ aXtjdeia. 1884.
Four writers in the Journal of Christian PhilosojpJiy
(American).
Menegoz in Le Temoignage. 1884-5.

And some others of less importance.
For the subjoined notice of Abp. Bryennius, which
may be interesting to many, the Editor is indebted to
the edition of M. Sabatier mentioned above, to whom

the facts were obligingly communicated by the Arch-
bishop's secretary.
" Philotheus Bryennius was born in 1833 at Constan-
tinople, at the theological college of which city he was
educated. After distinguished success in his course he
proceeded to study for four years and a half at the Uni-
versities of Leipzig, Berlin, and Munich.
" On his return to Constantinople he was appointed
tutor of his theological college, of which he soon after
became the head, and at the same time Dean of the
School of the Phanar, where is the Library of the Holy
Sepulchre.
"After this date (1868) he became known for his
theological attainments, spirit of wide enquiry, and
large sympathies. Together with the Metropolitan of
Caesarea he represented the Church of Constantinople
at the Old Catholic Congress at Bonn in 1872, during
the progress of which he was appointed Metropolitan
of Serra3, and two years later was promoted to Nico-
media, the see over which he now presides."

PEEFACE TO FIKST EDITION.
THE preparation of the following pages has been
a labour of love, owing to tbe deeply interesting nature
of the short treatise here presented to the public.
But whilst claiming to have spared no pains in the
task, the Editor does not pretend to do more than
present to the English reader what may, he trusts,
prove to be a handbook to what has been already done,
leaving deeper investigations to the labours of learned
critics and Church historians.
The text adopted in the following pages, represents
the MS. readings of the original, as gathered from the
first edition of Bryennius, and some further communi-
cations of his to different critics.
In ch. iii. ver. 9, however, it has not been thought
necessary to retain the MS. readings, rfji and dvaa-Tpa-
(frfjo-Tji though the former of these occurs singularly
enough in the corresponding passage of Barnabas,
ch. xix. in the same MS. And in some few places
also the punctuation has been tacitly corrected or
modified.
Besides this edition, those of Harnack and Hilgen-
Md have been carefully gone through, as well as the
shorter works of Wiinsche, and of Professors Hitchcock
and Brown of New York, besides many translations
and reviews, English and foreign.
Vlll PKEFACE TO F1KSI EDITION.
Bryennius informs us that the treatise is written
consecutively with no breaks, or capital letters after
the first word, and there are also the usual con-
tractions.
The division into chapters is taken from Bryennius,
that into verses or paragraphs from Harnack. Unfor-
tunately Hilgenfeld, in his edition of the AtSa^^, has
adopted another system as regards the verses.
In the Notes at the foot of the Text, B. stands for
Bryennius ; Hr. for Harnack (Texte und Untersuchungen,
vol. ii. pts. 1 and 2) ; HI. for Hilgenfeld (Nov. Can.
extra Textum receptum}.
The Translation, as a rule, follows the original text,
occasionally, however, it follows the emendations.
The following is a list of editions which have been,
more or less, made use of by the Editor, and to this is
appended a list of reviews, criticisms, and the like,
nearly all of which have been consulted.

X TEEFACE TO FIRST EDITION.
The thanks of the Editor for kind answers to en-
quiries are due to the Dean of Canterbury, and to
Mr. E. Thompson, of the MS. department, British
Museum.
In order, however, to make the work more complete,
and to exhibit more clearly the relationship of the
AiSaxrj to other documents, it has been thought well to
append certain extracts by way of Illustrations.
First of all, those passages of Holy Scripture, which
the AiSa^i? seems either to follow, or to which it may
be supposed incidentally to allude.
Next, some passages from the Epistle of Barnabas,
and a short piece of Hermas, with which, as will be
seen by the Introduction, the comparison has raised an
interesting question as to priority of date.
And there is also added an existing fragment (un-
fortunately very brief) of an early Latin translation of
the AidaxT).
But, further, the material of the writing before us
seems to have been used in other documents of later,
but still very early, date, extracts from which are,
therefore, appended.
1. The "Ecclesiastical Canons of the Holy Apo-
stles," called also, 'ETrtro/xi; opa>v TG>V ay lav dn-ooroXtoj/.
2. An English translation of a Coptic version of the
same Ecclesiastical Canons.
3. Part of the Seventh Book of the Apostolical Con-
stitutions.
The contents of the work will, therefore, stand as
follows :

INTRODUCTION.
SOME years since Philotheus Bryennius, then Me-
tropolitan of Seme, in Macedonia, since translated to
Nicomedia, discovered in the Library of the Most Holy
Sepulchre, belonging to the Patriarchate of Jerusalem
at Constantinople, a MS. written at Jerusalem, A..D. 1056,
containing: 1. St. Chrysostom's Synopsis of the Old
Testament; 2. The Epistle of Barnabas; 3. The First
Epistle of St. Clement of Rome to the Corinthians ;
4. The Second Epistle (spurious) ; 5. The Teaching
of the Apostles; 6. The Epistle of Mary of Cassu-
bolse to St. Ignatius (spurious) ; 7. Twelve Epistles of
St. Ignatius (partly spurious). The volume bears the
library mark, No. 456, is of parchment, small 8vo.,
eight inches by seven nearly, and was completed,
according to an inscription at the end, on June 11,
A..D. 1056, by a notary named Leo.
A copy of No. 2 was sent to Hilgenfeld, and used
for his new edition of the Epistle of Barnabas, 1877,
and utilized by Gebhardt and Harnack, Patres App.,
1878. Funk received a copy of the Ignatian Epistles,
No. 7, for his edition of the Apostolical Fathers, 1881.
Bryennius himself edited St. Clement, Nos. 3 and 4,
and his edition has been used by Bishop Lightfoot.
No. 5 in the above list is a short treatise bearing
the title, " Teaching of the Twelve Apostles," which
Bryennius edited and published, with copious learned
notes and prolegomena, at Constantinople, towards the
end of 1883.
2 IKTBODUCII01T.
This is not the least important of the contents of
the MS., throwing as it does a light upon the life and
state of feeling of the Christian Church in the latter
half of the first, or, at latest, the beginning of the se-
cond, century of the Christian era.
Who the compiler may have been is wholly un-
known, but a large part of the subject-matter is found,
often word for word, in parts of the Epistle of Bar-
nabas, the Shepherd of Hermas, in the seventh book
and other parts of the so-called Apostolical Consti-
tutions, a work of the third and following centuries ;
and in other treatises of a similar character. Parts of
some of these, with what remains of an early Latin
version, are printed in this volume.
The work contains moral precepts, some rules as to
Prayer, Pasting, Baptism and the Eucharist, and the
Teachers of the Church, and ends with a solemn refer-
ence to the Coming of the Lord and the Eesurrection.
"We may take some of these points rather more in
detail.
There is not much to guide us in determining who,
or of what nation the writer was. A few Hebraisms
may point to a Jewish Christian ; but if this be the
case there are, on the one hand, no signs of Ebionite
hostility to St. Paul, nor, on the other, any signs of
the influence of some special, points of his teaching,
nor clear references to his writings. Perhaps the
writer may have lived in Asia Minor, the Eucharistic
prayers shewing traces of St. John's language, though
such occur nowhere else ; and the special notices of
magic in some detail in ch. iii. 4, and v. 1, shew
possibly a tendency to the "curious arts" which the
INTRODUCTION. 3
converts forsook at Ephesus when they burned their
books (Acts xix. 19). Harnack, Texte und Untersuch-
ungen, vol. ii. p. 159 ; Funk, in the Tilbinger Quartal
Schrift, 1884, p. 382, and others, refer it, and with
more probability, to Egypt, chiefly on the ground of
its close connection with the Epistle of Barnabas.
Egypt, moreover, would seem more likely from the
later settlement of the Church in that country, and
the distance from St. Paul's teaching, whilst magic
abounded no less. The first mention, too, after this
treatise, of the Wednesday and Friday fast is in St.
Clement of Alexandria, Strom, vii. 75.
As to the date, the work is cited as Scripture by
Clement of Alexandria a , who died c. A.D. 217 ; and any
further deduction must depend on the answer given
to the question whether Barnabas and Hernias were
sources or copies of the "Teaching." Most authori-
ties, e.g. Bryennius, Harnack, and Hilgenfeld, consider
the "Teaching" to be the later"; but Funk (Tulinger
Quartal Schrift, 1884, pt. iii.), pointing out that there
is no absolute proof, contests this view, first as to Her-
nris, that the verbal coincidences may just as well lead
to the conclusion that Hermas copied, which would also
be the more likely, inasmuch as the " Teaching" being
a work written for instruction, might very well be
thus utilized.
As to the Epistle of Barnabas, at first sight the prob-
ability seems to be that the "Teaching" is a more
See note on AiSa^^, iii. 5.
b Zahn, Forschungen, &c., considers that the AiSoxij prob-
bly copied Hermas, but not Barnabas.
4 INTBODUCTION.
orderly arrangement of passages taken from the Epistle.
But each has some sentences omitted in the other, and
the "Teaching" has specially two portions of some
length altogether wanting in Barnabas, viz., ch. i. 2,
to the end, i.e. the greater part of the chapter (also
wanting in the Latin version), and the whole section,
contained in ch. iii. 1 6.
Then in the " Teaching " the two commandments,
love of God and of our neighbour, stand together at
the commencement : in Barnabas they are separated,
and the remaining commandments, more or less exactly,
grouped under them. But perhaps the point which
lends most probability to the view that our work may
be the original, is the singular dislocation of the sen-
tence, ch. iv. 13, which appears in two different places
in ch. xix. of Barnabas : first, v. 2, " Thou shalt not
forsake the commandments of the Lord;" and then,
after a considerable interval, v. 30, " Thou shalt keep
what thou hast received, neither adding nor taking
away."
But, whichever of the two writings be the earlier,
there is nothing in the way of external evidence to
bring the date of the work before us, with any cer-
tainty, so low as the earliest part of the second century ;
What, then, can we infer from internal evidence ?
1. There is no sign of any Canon of the New Testa-
ment, only the ' Gospel" or the "Commandment of the
Lord" is referred to, most often according to St. Mat-
thew, sometimes St. Luke, seldom quite word for
word; sometimes a text agreeing with neither, but
in a few instances with Tatian's Diatessaron. There
are one or two points which would go to support a
INTKODUCTIOK 5
theory that the writer was contemporary with St.
Paul, and heard of some of his teaching ; but it does
not at all appear that even the earliest Epistles were
known to him as writings.
2. The office-bearers of the Church still have the
titles used in the New Testament (except that Evan-
gelist seems merged in Apostle, and Presbyter is
omitted), even that of Apostle being not yet confined
to the Twelve ; while the chief work seems to be
preaching and instruction, for the purpose of con-
version, no doubt; and prophets hold an important
position.
3. The dyaTrrj seems to be not yet disjoined from the
Eucharist, if indeed every meal has not somewhat of
an Eucharistic character.
4. There is no trace, any more than in the New
Testament, of a long preparation for Baptism, or of
a class of Catechumens ; and, as in the only case men-
tioned in the New Testament of a Christian falling
into deadly sin, and repenting, so in this " Teaching
of the Lord through the Apostles," the impenitent
sinner, indeed, is to abstain from communion, but so
soon as he repents and confesses he is apparently,
with no long period of probation, admitted again to
his full privileges.
Again, one very singular feature to be considered is
that the week in the AiSa^i? is fully arranged, with
the exception of Saturday, as in later times: Sunday
with its services, "Wednesday and Friday with their
fasts ; but there is no sign of any yearly festival or fast
as being yet instituted. Now the Lord's day is already
observed in the times of the New Testament (Acts
6 INTRODUCTION.
xx. 7; 1 Cor. xvi. 2); whilst in the middle of the
second century there is a dispute as to the right time
for celebrating Easter (which must therefore already
have been some time observed). It would seem that
the AtSaxi? must synchronize with the former state of
affairs rather than with the latter.
So we conclude, that whilst the origin of the work
before us is uncertain as to its locality, there is ab-
solutely nothing to prevent our assigning as its date
possibly (if not probably) the last quarter of the first,
certainly nothing later than the earlier quarter of the
second, century. It may well be the oldest Christian
writing after the books of the New Testament , per-
haps even earlier than most of them.
The subject-matter is the simplest of practical teach-
ing, such as may well have been current in similar
forms, and being taught orally and tlien committed to
memory by those who had to teach others, was written
down by some teacher in the form which we have in
the AtSa^iy.
Oral teaching must have been the rule, to which
St. Luke bears something like witness, writing, ch. i. 3,
to Theophilus, tva eTriyvas Trep\ >v Kar^Jj^s \6yu>v TTJV
aa-^aXfiav. And St. Augustine appears to refer to the
custom of learning by heart for the purpose of instruct-
ing others, when, Zte Catechizandis rudtbus, ch. v., he
warns the Catechist against being too prolix, and says
c Archdeacon Farrar is also of opinion that the A<5axVj is
older than the Epistle of Barnabas or Hermas. Prebendary
Sadler (" Guardian," June 4, 1884,) and H. L. W. (" Guardian,"
June 26), both support a very early date ; and the latter also
supposes the AiSox*? to be the original of Barnabas' Epistle.
INTRODUCTION. 7
we must not "si ad verbum edidicimus, memoriter
reddere " whole books of the Bible.
Another point of interest is to notice how later eccle-
siastical documents, such as the Ecclesiastical Canons
and Apostolical Constitutions, introduce changes in the
subject-matter of the Ai8axf) to suit the circumstances
of the Church and times. For instance, StSao-KaAot, or,
as in x. 7, npoffj^rat become Trpeo-pvrepoi in Ap. Const.
vii. 26 ; (pTr\T)<r6t)vai, ph. x. 1, is changed into nerdXrj^iv
in Ap. Const, vii. 26.
Or again, in treating of Baptism, the addition of the
" fnio-Koire TI npfo-fivrepf," as ministers; and as to the
ceremonies, "xpums eXa/w ay/w," in Ap. Const, vii. 22.
Very noticeable, too, is the- subsequent omission of
the direction for public Confession before Communion,
which has no place in later Eastern Liturgies. It is as
though the work was, from time to time, revised to
bring it up to date, and then the old editions wbich
would have testified to later changes and corruptions
were allowed to drop into oblivion.

PASSAGES OP HOLY SCRIPTURE QUOTED IN, OR
SIMILAR TO, PASSAGES CONTAINED IN THE
AiSa^^ ra>v StuSeKa aTrocrrdXcoj/.
ALL the striking passages are here given, but the
writer of the AiSa^i? seems in several other places to
have had the Old Testament in view, for instance in
ch. xiii., where he is giving rules as to first-fruits.
Enough are however given to shew that he seldom
quotes a passage as it stands in the Septuagint.
For the New Testament the same remark applies,
and the reader may form his own conclusions as to
whether the writer had St. Matthew's Gospel in view,
or was quoting from some ' flayye\iov ' which was
orally current.
The Scriptural illustrations are arranged in parallel
columns with the passages of the AiSa^ij ; and refer-
ences are given to chapter and verse both of the AtSc;^
and of Scripture.

ILLUSTKATIONS, No. II.
THE EPISTLE OF BARNABAS, AND THE
SHEPHERD OF HERMAS.
THE writings of the Apostolical Fathers are sufficiently well
known and accessible to render it unnecessary for the Editor
to say more here than that he considers
1. The Epistle of Barnabas to have been written by a Gentile
Christian of Alexandria, at the end of the first century.
2. The Shepherd of Hennas to have been written by a Jewish,
or at least Judaizing, Christian (very possibly by two authors
with a slight interval), during the first half of the second
century.
In the following extracts the words corresponding with the
AiSa*^ are printed in the smaller type, with the reference
to the chapter and verse ; the larger representing the additions
made by Barnabas and Hermas.

FROM AN EARLY LATIN TRANSLATION OF
A PORTION OF THE AiSu^ 3 .
IN the Library of a Benedictine Abbey at Hoik, in
Austria, there seems to have existed, according to a
notice published at Vienna in 1747, a MS. of the ninth
or tenth century, in which, amongst other writings,
was contained, on the last page, a Latin treatise, "Doc-
trina Apostolorum," but, as is added, in an imperfect
condition.
Von Gebhardt, whose attention was roused by this
notice, at once commenced enquiries. The MS. at
present cannot be found, but Bernard Pez, Librarian
of the Abbey in the last century, published as much
as existed of the MS. in the Second Part of the Fourth
Volume of his Thesaurus Anecdotorum Novissimus, p. 5.
It is unfortunately only a very short fragment.
Immediately at the end of a Sermon of St. Boniface
follow the words :
"Turn in Codice post perlrevia qucedam S. Augustini
dicta comparet Doctrina Apostolorum, eadem, qua Sermo
S.Bonifacii, manu exarata, qua sic habet."
* From a notice communicated by v. Gebhardt to Harnack's
edition of the AiSox^?, in Texte und Untersuchungen, vol. ii.
pt. 2, Leipzig, 1884.

b The chapters and verses in brackets refer to the chapters
and paragraphs of the AiSaxij.
c The neuter tcndiculum, instead of tendicula, has no autho-
rity given by Forcellini, except two passages in writings of
Vilnius, Bp. of Thapsus.
24 ILLU&TKATION&, NO. III.
The first difference between the Latin translation
and the Greek original to be noted is in the title, but
if the translator lived when the title "Apostles" was
confined to the twelve, he would be not unlikely to
omit the number. The second title is also omitted
for whatever reason.
There are some slight additions, shewn above by the
use of italic type, "in seculo," "lucis et tenebrarum,"
and the following sentence, " In his constituti tern -
brarum," I. 1. The latter two seem to be taken from
the Epistle of Barnabas, xviii. 1. In v. 2, " seternum"
is also added.
In eh. ii. verse 2, it will be observed that the first
two sentences are transposed, non falsum testimonium
dices is brought from verse 3, and the words ou K\tytis,
ov fiayei/fffts are omitted altogether.
Besides variations by additions, the Latin text is
marked by the omission of the passage from the word
6i>AoyeIr, I. 3, to rr)s SiSax^s, II. 1 ; for the list of sins,
so far as the translation goes, seems to make it clear
that the Latin writer had the genuine AiSa^ij before
him. It is a singular fact that the same passage is
wanting in the Egyptian "Ecclesiastical Canons;"
while it appears, though somewhat modified, in the
Seventh Book of the Ap. Constitutions. Possibly the
omission is due to accident on the part of the trans-
lator, but probably the passage was wanting in some
copies of the AtSu;^.

EXTEACT FROM "THE ECCLESIASTICAL
CANONS OF THE HOLY APOSTLES."
THEEE exists in parts of Egypt, besides the " Con-
stitutions of the Apostles," a collection of ecclesiastical
law, the foundation of which agrees very closely with
parts of the "Teaching of the Apostles." This col-
lection goes by various names, such as the "Canons
of the Apostles," the "Epitome of the Definitions of
the Holy Apostles," &c. There is still much work
for critics in investigating these writings, which are
also extant in Syriac.
The reader has here before him Harnack's Greek
Text, for comparison with that of the Ai&a;^. It has
been noticed, as a singular coincidence, that the pas-
sage, ch. i. 3 to ii. 2, which is wanting in this trea-
tise, is also omitted in the Latin fragment of a trans-
lation of the AiSaxq.
It may be interesting, in the case of a work so
little known, to summarize here Harnack's remarks
on this body of rules, the received German title for
which is Apostolische Kirchen-Ordnung.
In 1691, Ludolf published a Commentary on his
History of Ethiopia, at Frankfort, in which he printed
the original and a Latin version of a body of Ethiopian
Canons, with the title, " Isti sunt Canones patrum
Apostolorum quos constituerunt ad ordinandam eccle-
siam Christianam." At the head, on p. 314, stand the
canons we are now considering.

Next, A.D. 1711, Grabe, "Essay upon two Arabic
MSS., in the Bodleian Library," replying to Whiston,
who asserted that he had found in these MSS. very
early Christian teaching, in fact the AiSaxi?, makes it
appear that Whiston had not seen the MSS., and
that "this Arabick Doctrine, except the Preface and
five or six leaves, is . . .the very first five entire
Books of [the Clementine Constitutions], and part of
the sixth" (Grabe, p. 11). Consequently these are
not the Canons we are dealing with a .
From this date they fall into oblivion, till Bickell
(Geschichte des Kirchenrechts, vol. i.), 1843, really in-
vestigated them critically and historically, and pub-
lished the Vienna MS., giving the treatise the name
Apostolische Kirchen- Ordnung, which it now is known
by in Germany. A large part of this MS. contains the
usual oriental collection of canons, such as are found
worked up in the Apostolical Constitutions. In his
remarks Bickell gives proof of great critical sagacity
by declaring his conviction that neither the Epistle
of Barnabas, nor the "Apostolical Constitutions," were
the source of the work he was editing, but that there
must have been some third writing, more or less re-
lated to the Epistle of Barnabas, and probably known
to the compilers of Const. Apo&t., bk. vii., and of this
work.
Five years later, A.D. 1848, Archdeacon Tattam,
from a modern Memphitic (i.e. North Egyptian) MS.
now numbered Orient., 440, in the British Museum,
published the Coptic version, and an English trans-
Harnack must have misunderstood the position of Grabe
and Whiston, if he had seen the Essay of the former.

lation of these Canons (see later, p. 34). There is
said to be an Arabic version in the same MS. Tattain
had also another more perfect MS. in the Thebaic or
Sahidic dialect of Upper Egypt, which Harnack says
is now in the Royal Library at Berlin ; and Bishop
Lightfoot (Clement of Rome, App., p. 273, and 466),
speaking of these versions, refers to another older
Thebaic MS. of A.D. 1006, also in the British Museum,
Orient. 1320, from which version the Memphitic was
translated.
The next writer, in 1856, Lagarde, in his Reliquice
Juris Ecclesiastici Antiquissimte, makes further pro-
gress by using a Syrian MS. b (Paris, Cod. Sangerm.
Syr. 38), described by Cureton, Corpus Ignat., p. 342 f.
Book iii. in this collection has our treatise, but only
chapters iii. xiii., apparently not an accidental de-
fect. Lagarde also refers to this MS. in Bunsen's Ana-
lecta Ante Nicana, ii. 37 ff.
In 1864 Cardinal Pitra printed these canons in the
first volume of his Juris Ecclesiastici Mbnumenta, pub-
lished at Rome, using the Vienna MS., and a fresh one
(Ottolon. gr., 408) of the fourteenth century, in which,
under the title firiTofj.fi opa>v r5>v &yla>v djroordAwi' nado-
XtKJJy Trapaboo-ftos, exactly the same passages and omis-
sions exist as in the Syrian MS. used by Lagarde,
with a closing chapter peculiar to itself. Cod. Ottob.
is altogether shorter than Cod. Vindol. (the Vienna
MS.).
Two years after this Hilgenfeld (Nov. Test, extra
Canon, recept., fasc. iv. pp. 93 106, in the new
edition, p. 110) brought out the same work, making
b Published by Lagarde in his Egyptiaca, 1883.

use of the published editions. He contended that this
was the treatise spoken of by Rufinus as Duce via vel
Judicium Petri, and by St. Jerome as Petri Judicium,
but he does not seem, to have convinced any one.
There was again an interval, this time of twelve
years, till, in 1878, von Gebhardt and Harnack, in
their edition of Barnabas, took up Bickell's view,
using a fresh MS. of the tenth century, noticed by
von Gebhardt in the Library of the Holy Synod at
Moscow (Cod.gr. cxxv. Ssec. x.). This is the oldest
yet found, and, with some considerable variations, it
corresponds with c. 4 14, of the Apostolische Kirchen-
Ordnung. Its title is TG>V biara^tmv ru>v ay'iav an-ooro-
\a>v, These Editors came to the conclusion that there
must have been some source of this work belonging
to the second century, which St. Clement of Alex-
andria and its compiler had used.
A marvellous product of ingenious critical skill was
an article by Krawutsky, in the Tilbinger Quartal Schrift,
1882, pt. iii., in which he conjecturally reconstructed
what he believed must have been the original foun-
dation of this body of rules ; for his conjectures have
been proved, by the discovery of the A^a^i?, to have
been to a very great extent correct.
And, lastly, Bryennius has compared the Canons and
AtSaxv together, printing the Canons, and marking the
differences by change of type.
This body of ordinances or canons still, in spite of
its extreme antiquity, forms part of the Canon Law of
Egyptian Christians, and is therefore interesting in itself,
as well as in its relation to the AiSa^ij, from which so
much of it is borrowed. Here and there a few slight

additions are made, mostly unimportant. It should
have a distinct title of its own, and possibly no better
one could be found than that of Lagarde, Canones Eccle-
siastici, "Ecclesiastical Canons." This agrees with
the Greek Kavoves (KKhrjo-iaariKoi, with the German
JHrchen- Ordnung fairly well; and is sufficiently dis-
tinct from the titles, " Apostolical Canons," and
" Apostolical Constitutions."
The parts of the follow ing extracts which agree with
the AiSa^^ have the chapter and verse added in
brackets at the side, and the small type is used when
the language follows very closely that of the AiSax>j.

EXTRACTS FROM AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF
A COPTIC VERSION OF THE FOREGOING CANONS'.
The following translation of the Ecclesiastical Canons is
taken from a work entitled " The Apostolical Constitutions or
Canons of the Apostles in Coptic, with an English Translation
by Henry Tattam," &c. London, 1848. It is also given in
Bunsen's "Hippolytus and his Age," vol. iii. p. 9, English
translation.
Bishop Lightfoot speaks of the original as " not made
directly from the Greek, but a very recent and somewhat
barbarous translation from the previously Thebaic version."
St. Clement of Eome, App., p. 273, and p. 466.
[1. 1] 4. JOHN said, " There are two ways, one is the way
[2] of life, and the other is the way of death : and there
is much difference in these two ways. But the way
of life is this, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, who created thee, and thou shalt glorify
Him who redeemed thee from death; for this is the
first Commandment.
[2] But the second is this, Thou shalt love thy neigh-
hour as thyself. On these two Commandments hang
the Law and the Prophets."
[2] 5. Matthew said, "Every thing that thou wouldest
not should he done to thee, that do not thou also to
another ; that is, what thou hatest do not to another.
An account of this has already been given on p. 26.
PBOM A COPTIC VEESIOK OF THE CANONS. 35
But thou, Peter my brother, teach them these
things."
6. Peter said, " Thou shalt not kill ; thou shalt not [H. 2]
commit adultery ; thou shalt not commit fornication ;
thou shalt not pollute a youth ; thou shalt not steal ;
thou shalt not be a sorcerer ; thou shalt not use divi-
nation; thou shalt not cause a woman to miscarry,
neither if she has brought forth a child shalt thou kill
it ; thou shalt not covet any thing that is thy neigh-
bour's ; thou shalt not bear false witness ; thou shalt [3]
not speak evil of any one, neither shalt thou think
evil ; thou shalt not be double-minded, neither shalt [4J
thou be double-tongued, for a double tongue is a
snare of death ; thy speech shall not be vain, neither [5]
tending to a lie ; thou shalt not be covetous, neither [6J
rapacious, nor an hypocrite, nor of an evil heart, nor
proud ; thou shalt not speak an evil word against thy
neighbour; thou shalt not hate any man, but thou
shalt reprove some, and shalt have mercy upon others ;
thou shalt pray for some, and shalt love others as thy
own soul."
7. Andrew said, "My son, flee from all evil, and [HI. 1]
hate all evil. Be not angry, because anger leads to [2]
murder, for anger is an evil demon. Be not emulous,
neither be contentious, nor quarrelsome, for envy
proceeds from these."
8. Philip said, " My son, be not of unlawful desires, [3]
because desire leads to fornication, drawing men to it
involuntarily ; for lust is a demon. For if the evil
spirit of anger is united with that of lust, they de-
stroy those who shall receive them. And the way of
the evil spirit is the sin of the soul. For when he

sees a little quiet [? way], entering in he will make the
way broad ; and he will take with him all other evil
spirits : he will go to that soul and will not leave
the man to meditate at all, lest he should see the truth.
Let a restraint be put upon your anger, and curb it
with not a little care, that you may cast it behind you,
lest it should precipitate you into some evil deed.
For wrath and evil desire, if they be suffered always
to remain, are demons. And when they have dominion
over a man they change him in soul, that he may be
prepared for a great deed : and when they have led
him into unrighteous acts, they deride him, and will
rejoice in the destruction of that man."
[3] 9. Simon said, " My son, be not the utterer of an evil
expression, nor of obscenity, neither be thou haughty,
for of these things come adulteries."
[4] 10. James said, " My son, be not a diviner, for divi-
nation leadeth to idolatry; neither be thou an en-
chanter, nor an astrologer, nor a magician, nor an
idolater, \_Sahidic, one that bewitcheth] ; neither teach
them nor hear them ; for from these things proceedeth
idolatry."
[5] 11. Nathanael said, " My son, be not a liar, because
a falsehood leadeth to blasphemy. Neither be thou
a lover of silver nor a lover of vainglory, for from these
thefts arise.
[6] " My son, be not a murmurer, because repining
leads a man to blasphemy. Be thou not harsh, nor
a thinker of evil, for of all these things contentions
[7] are begotten. But be thou meek, for the meek shall
[8] inherit the earth. And be thou also merciful, peace-
able, compassionate, cleansed in thy heart from all

evil. Be thou sincere, gentle, good ; trembling at the
words of God, which thou hast heard, and do thou
keep them. Do not exalt thyself, neither shalt thou [9]
give thy heart to pride, but thou shalt increase more
and more with the just and humble. Every evil
which cometh upon thee receive as good, knowing
that nothing shall come upon thee but from God."
12. Thomas said, "My son, he who declares to [IV. 1]
thee the words of God, and hath been the cause of life
to thee, and hath given to thee the holy seal which
is in the Lord, thou shalt love him as the apple of
thine eyes, and remember him by night and day : thou
shalt honour him as of the Lord : for in that place in
which the word of power is, there is the Lord ; and
thou shalt seek his face daily, him, and those who [2]
remain of the saints, that thou mayest rest thee on
their words : for he who is united to the saints shall
be holy.
"Thou shalt honour him according to thy power,
by the sweat of thy brow, and by the labour of thy
hands : for if the Lord hath made thee meet that He
might impart to thee spiritual food, and spiritual
drink, and eternal life, by him ; it becomes thee also
the more, that thou shouldest impart to him the food
which perishes and is temporal; for the labourer is
worthy of his hire. For it is written: Thou shalt
not muzzle the ox treading out the corn; neither
does any one plant a vineyard and not eat of the
fruit thereof."
13. Cephas said, "Thou shalt not make schisms: [3]
thou shalt reconcile in peace those who contend with
one another. Judge in righteousness without accept-

ing of persons. Reprove him who hath sinned, for
his sin. Suffer not wealth to prevail before God,
neither justify the unworthy, for beauty profiteth
[4] not ; but righteous judgment before all. Doubt not
in thy prayer, thinking whether what thou hast asked
[5] of Him will be or not. Let it not, indeed, be, that
when thou receivest thou stretchest out thine hand,
but when thou shouldest give thou drawest thy hand
[6] to thee. But if thou hast at hand, thou shalt give
[7] for the redemption of thy sins. Thou shalt not doubt,
thou shalt give; neither when thou hast given shalt
[8] thou murmur, knowing this reward is of God. Thou
shalt not turn away from the needy, but shalt com-
[8] municate with the needy in all things : thou shalt not
say, these things are mine alone. If ye communicate
with one another in those things which are incorrup-
tible, how much rather should ye not do it in those
things which are corruptible."
14. Bartholomew eaid, " I beseech you, my brethren,
while you have time, and he who asks remains with
you, and you are able to do good to them, do not fail
iu any thing to any one, which you have the power
to do.
[XVI.] "For the Day of the Lord dravceth nigh, in which
every thing that is seen shall be dissolved, and the
wicked shall be destroyed with it ; for the Lord com-
eth, and His reward is with Him.
" Be ye lawgivers to your own selves ; be ye teachers
[IV. 3] to yourselves alone, as God hath taught you. Thou
shalt keep those things which thou hast received ; thou
shalt not take from them, neither shalt thou add to
them."

THE APOSTOLICAL CONSTITUTIONS.
THE eight books of the Apostolical Constitutions
contain rules for laity and clergy, compiled probably
from three sources, of which a writing similar to the
AiSa^i? is the foundation of Book vii., and is probably
not without influence in other portions. The com-
pilation probably dates from the middle of the third
for the earliest, to the middle of the fourth century,
for the later portions.
The Quinisext, or Council in Trullo (A.D. 680), at
Constantinople, in its second Canon, while admitting
the Apostolic Canons, rejects the Stard|e, or Consti-
tutions, as marred by heretical interpolation, but at
the same time implies that they contain much worthy
of acceptance.
The portion given here in illustration is that in
which the Ai8ax>j is, to a large extent, imbedded, as is
shewn by the use of smaller type in the following pages.

TEACHING
OF THE
TWELVE APOSTLES.
THE TEACHING OP THE LORD BY THE TWELVE
APOSTLES TO THB GENTILES.
[CHAP. I.]
1. THERE are two ways, one of life and one of death a ,
but a great difference between the two ways.
2. Now the way of life is this : first, Thou shalt
love God who made thee ; secondly, thy neighbour as
thyself 15 , and all things whatsoever thou wouldest not
should be done to thee, do thou also not do to another.
3. Now the teaching of these two sayings is this,
Bless them that curse you, and pray for your enemies c ,
but fast for them that persecute you ; For what thank
is there if ye love them that love you ? do not even
the Gentiles the same? But love ye them that hate
you, and ye shall not have an enemy.
4. Abstain from fleshly d and bodily lusts. If any
one give thee a blow on the right cheek 6 turn to him
the other also, and thou shalt be perfect. If any one
compel thee to go with him one mile, go with him

twain ; if any one take away thy cloak, give him thy
coat also ; If any one take from thee what is thine ask
it not back f , for neither canst thou.
5. Give to every one that asketh of thee, and ask not
back, for the Father wills that from our own blessings
we should give to all. Blessed is he that giveth ac-
cording to the commandment, for he is guiltless. Woe
to him that taketh ; for if indeed any one having need
taketh he shall be guiltless, but he that hath not need
shall give account, wherefore he took anything and for
what purpose, and being in distress shall be examined
concerning the things that he did, and he shall not
come out thence till he have paid the last farthing g .
6. But concerning this also it hath been said, Let
thine alms sweat into thine hands till thou know to
whom thou givest.
[CHAP. II.]
1. And the second commandment of the teaching is :
2. Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not commit adult-
ery, thou shalt not corrupt boys, thou shalt not commit
fornication, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not use
witchcraft, thou shalt not use enchantments, thou shalt
not procure abortion, nor shalt thou kill the new-born
child, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods.
3. Thou shalt not forswear thyself, thou shalt not
bear false witness, thou shalt not revile, thou shalt
not bear malice.
4. Thou shalt not be double-minded nor double-
tongued ; for duplicity of tongue is a snare of death.

5. Thy speech shall not be false nor vain, but filled
6. Thou shalt not be covetous, nor an extortioner,
nor a hypocrite, nor malignant, nor haughty. Thou
shalt not take evil counsel against thy neighbour.
7. Thou shalt hate no man, but some thou shalt re-
buke, and for some thou shalt pray, and some thou
shalt love above thine own soul.
[CHAP. III.]
1. My child, flee from all evil, and from all that is
like unto it h .
2. Be not soon angry, for anger leadeth to murder,
nor given to party spirit, nor contentious, nor quick-
tempered, for from all these are generated murders.
3. My child, be not lustful, for lust leadeth to forni-
cation, neither be a filthy talker, nor a lifter up of the
eyes [to sin], for from all these are generated adulteries.
4. My child, be not thou an observer of birds [for
divination], for it leadeth to idolatry, nor a charmer,
nor an astrologer, nor a user of purifications, nor be
thou willing to look on those things, for from all these
is generated idolatry.
5. My child, be not a liar, for lying leadeth to
theft, nor a lover of money, nor fond of vainglory, for
from all these things are generated thefts.

6. My child, be not a murmurer, for it leadeth to
blasphemy, neither self-willed, nor evil-minded, for
from all these are generated blasphemies.
7. But be thou meek, for the meek shall inherit the
earth 1 .
8. Be thou long-suffering, and merciful, and harm-
less, and quiet, and good, and trembling continually at
the words which thou hast heard k .
9. Thou shalt not exalt thyself, nor shalt thou give
presumption to thy soul. Thy soul shalt not be joined
to the lofty, but with the just and lowly shalt thou
converse.
10. The events that happen to thee shalt thou ac-
cept as good, knowing that without God nothing
taketh place.
[CHAP. IV.]
1. My child, thou shalt remember night and day
him that speaketh to thee the word of God, and thou
shalt honour him as the Lord, for whence the Lord-
ship is spoken of, there is the Lord.
2. But thou shalt seek out day by day the faces of
the saints, that thou mayest rest in their words.
3. Thou shalt not desire division, but shalt make
peace between those at strife, thou shalt judge justly.
Thou shalt not respect a person in rebuking for trans-

4. Thou shalt not be of two minds whether it shall
be or not.
5. Be not one that stretcheth out his hands to re-
ceive, but shutteth them close for giving" 1 .
6. If thou hast, thou shalt give with thine hands
a ransom for thy sins n .
7. Thou shalt not hesitate to give, nor when thou
givest shalt thou murmur, for thou shalt know who
is the good recompenser of the reward.
8. Thou shalt not turn away from him that needeth,
but shalt share all things with thy brother, and shalt
not say that they are thine own, for if ye are fellow-
sharers in that which is imperishable, how much more
in perishable things ?
9. Thou shalt not take away thine hand from thy
son or from thy daughter, but from their youth up
shalt thou teach them the fear of God.
10. Thou shalt not in thy bitterness lay commands
on thy man-servant, or thy maid-servant, who hope
in the same God, lest they should not fear Him who
is God over [you] both, for He cometh not to call
[men] according to the outward appearance, but to
those whom the Spirit hath prepared.
11. But ye, servants, shall be subject to your mas-
ters as to a figure of God in reverence and fear.
12. Thou shalt hate all hypocrisy, and everything
which is not pleasing to the Lord.
13. Thou shalt not forsake the commandments of the
Lord, but shalt keep what thou hast received, neither
adding [thereto] nor taking away [from it] .

14. In the congregation thou shalt confess thy trans-
gressions and shalt not come to thy prayer with an
evil conscience. This is the way of life.
[CHAP. V.]
1. But the way of death is this. First of all it is
evil and full of curse ; murders, adulteries, lusts, for-
nications, thefts, idolatries, witchcrafts, sorceries, rob-
beries, false-witnessings, hypocrisies, double-hearted-
ness, deceit, pride, wickedness, self-will, covetousness,
filthy-talking, jealousy, presumption, haughtiness, flat-
tery.
2. Persecutors of the good, hating truth, loving a lie,
not knowing the reward of righteousness, not cleaving
to that which is good nor to righteous judgment, watch-
ful not for the good but for the evil, far from whom
is meekness and patience, loving vain things, seeking
after reward, not pitying the poor, not toiling with him
who is vexed with toil, not knowing Him that made
them, murderers of children, destroyers of the image of
God, turning away from him that is in need, vexing
him that is afflicted, advocates of the rich, lawless
judges of the poor, wholly sinful. May ye, children,
be delivered from all these.

1. Take heed that no one make thee to err from this
way of teaching, since he teacheth thee not according
to God.
2. For if indeed thou art able to bear the whole
yoke of the Lord thou shalt be perfect, but if thou art
not able, do what thou canst.
3. But concerning food, bear what thou canst, but
beware exceedingly of that p offered to idols, for it is
a service of dead gods.
[CHAP. VII.]
1. But concerning baptism, baptize thus: Having
said [taught] beforehand all these things, baptize ye
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost, in living water.
2. But if thou hast not living water, baptize in other
water ; and if thou canst not in cold, then in warm.
3. But if thou have not either, pour water thrice
upon the head in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
4. But before the baptism let him that baptizeth and
him that is baptized fast, and any others who can ; but
thou shalt bid him that is baptized fast one or two days
before.

1. But let not your fasts be together with the hypo-
crites, for they fast on the second and fifth days of
the week, but ye shall fast the fourth day, and the
preparation (Friday).
2. Neither pray ye as the hypocrites, but as the Lord
commanded in His Gospel thus pray ye ; " Our Father <J,
which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name, Thy King-
dom come, Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our
debt as we forgive our debtors, And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil, For Thine is the
power and the glory for ever."
3. Pray thus thrice a day.
[CHAP. IX.]
1. But with regard to the Giving-of-thanks, give
thanks after this manner.
2. First, with regard to the Cup, ""We give thanks
to Thee, our Father, for the holy vine of Thy child
David, which Thou hast made known to us through
Thy child Jesus ; to Thee be glory for ever."
3. But with regard to the broken bread, " We give
thanks to Thee, our Father, for the life and know-
ledge which Thou hast made known to us through
Thy child Jesus ; to Thee be glory for ever.

4. " As this broken bread was scattered upon the
mountains and gathered together became one, so let
Thy Church be gathered together from the ends of the
earth into Thy kingdom, for Thine is the glory and the
power through Jesus Christ for ever."
5. But let no one eat or drink of your Eucharist
except those baptized in the name of the Lord, for
regarding this also the Lord hath said, " Give not that
which is holy to the dogs r ."
[CHAP. X.]
1. But after being filled, give thanks thus.
2. We give thanks to Thee, Holy Father, for Thy
holy Name, which Thou hast caused to dwell in our
hearts, and for the knowledge and faith and immor-
tality which Thou hast made known to us by Jesus
Thy Child, to Thee be glory for ever.
3. Thou, Almighty liuler, madest all things for
Thy Name's sake ; Thou gavest men food and drink for
enjoyment that they might give thanks to Thee, but
us Thou blessedst with spiritual food and drink and
eternal life through Thy Child.
4. Before all things we give thanks to Thee that
Thou art mighty ; to Thee be glory for ever.

5. Eemember, Lord, Thy Church to deliver her
from all evil and to perfect her in Thy love, and gather
her together from the four winds ', her the sanctified,
into Thy kingdom which Thou preparedst for her;
for Thine is the power and the glory for ever.
6. Let grace come, and let this world pass away.

him come, if any one be not holy let him repent.

7. But suffer the prophets to give thanks as much
as [i.e. in what words] they will.
[CHAP. XL]
1. Whosoever therefore cometh and teacheth you all
the things aforesaid, receive him.
2. But if the teacher himself being perverted teach-
eth another teaching to the undoing [thereof], hear
him not, but if [his teaching be] to the increasing of
righteousness and the knowledge of the Lord, receive
him as the Lord.
3. But with regard to the apostles and prophets, ac-
cording to the command of the Gospel, so do ye.
4. Let every apostle that cometh to you be received
as the Lord *.
5. But he shall not remain [more than] one day,

remain three days he is a false prophet.

6. And when the apostle dcparteth let him. take no-
thing except bread [to last] till he reach his lodging.
But if he ask for money he is a false prophet.
7. And no prophet that speaketh in the Spirit shall
ye try or prove, for every sin shall be forgiven, but
this sin shall not be forgiven.
8. Not every one that speaketh in the spirit is a pro-
phet but only if he have the behaviour of the Lord.
By their behaviour then shall the false prophet and
the prophet be known.
9. And no prophet that ordereth a table in the spirit
eateth of it except he be a false prophet.
10. And every prophet that teacheth the truth if he
doeth not what he teacheth is a false prophet.
11. And every approved true prophet, who maketh
assemblies for a worldly mystery, but teacheth not
to do such things as he himself doeth, shall not be
judged of you, for he hath his judgment with God,
for likewise did also the ancient prophets.
12. But whosoever saith in the spirit, Give me
money or any other things, ye shall not hearken to
him, but if he bid to give for others that lack, let no
one judge him.
[CHAP. XII.]
1. But let every one that cometh in the Name of

4. But if he have no craft, according to your under-
standing provide that a Christian shall live with you

5. But if he will not act thus he is one who maketh

[CHAP. XIII.]
1. But every true prophet that willeth to settle
among you is worthy of his meat.
2. Likewise a true teacher is himself worthy, like
the workman, of his meat T .
3. Therefore all the firstfruits of the produce of
press and floor, of oxen and sheep, thou shalt take
and give to the prophets for they are your chief
priests.
4. But if ye have not a prophet give to the poor.

1. And on the Lord's Day of the Lord come together
and break bread, and give thanks after confessing
your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure.
2. Let no one that hath a dispute with his fellow
come together with you until they be reconciled, that

" In every place and time offer Me a pure sacrifice, for

wonderful among the Gentiles 1 ."

1. Elect therefore for yourselves bishops and dea-
cons worthy of the Lord, men meek, and not lovers

peace, as ye have it in the Gospel, and with every
one that trangresseth against his neighbour let no one
speak, nor let him hear [a word] from you until he
repent.
4. But your prayers and alms and all your actions
so do as ye have it in the Gospel of our Lord.
[CHAP. XVI.]
1. Watch over your life, let not your lamps be
quenched and let not your loins be un girded, but be
ye ready, for ye know not the hour in which your
Lord cometh y .
2. But be ye frequently gathered together, seeking
the things that are profitable for your souls, for the
whole time of your faith shall not profit you except
in the last season ye be [already] perfect.
3. For in the last days shall the false prophets and
destroyers be multiplied, and the sheep shall be turned
to wolves, and love shall be turned to hate.
4. For when lawlessness increaseth, they shall hate
and persecute, and deliver up one another; and then
shall appear the deceiver of the world as God's Son,
and shall do signs and wonders 21 , and the earth shall
be delivered into his hands, and he shall commit ini-
quities which have never yet been from the beginning
of the world.

NOTES.
The Title. It seems strange to find a book with two
differing titles, neither of which corresponds with
those used by other writers a in speaking of what
is undoubtedly the same work. The second is
most likely the older, because fuller, and may
not improbably be original, and the mention of
the twelve Apostles points to a time when, as
in the body of the writing, the title Apostle was
not confined to those subsequently called "The
Twelve."

The modern depreciation of fasting is neither
Scriptural nor primitive. In the passages re-
ferred to, our Lord seems to point to a special
energy and power gained by fasting. And so in
this passage there may be an ascending scale.
Return good words for evil, pray for those who
bear you ill-will, fast for those who actively per-
secute you.
4. a-apKiKciv Kal o-apariKciv. The MS. reading has
been changed by all editors except Harnack into
Kovfj.iK<t>v, which latter occurs in the parallel pas-
sage of the Ap. Const., and is supported by
1 Pet. ii. 11, and 2 Clem. xvii.
(dv TIS a-oi S<S K.T.A. The following passage may
be founded on Matt. v. 39 41 ; Luke vi. 29, 30.
The writer, in his quotations, often varies from
the text of our Evangelists, or mixes St. Matthew
and St. Luke together. Harnack points out a
similarity between this passage and Tatian's Dia-
tessaron, which gives the clauses in exactly the
order of the AiSa^^. Tatian lived, however, in
the second century, at a date later than that of
the work before us. "Was there some kind of
"Gospel" current, perhaps orally, not the same
as that of any one of our four Evangelists ?

ment of the fact that the person who uses vio-
lence is the stronger, which would, however, be
a weak close to the paragraph. It is probably

a reference to our Lord's commandment in the
Sermon on the Mount on which the passage is
founded. Bryennius quotes a passage from St.
John Climacus as follows : evore/3aii/ (lev TW alrovvri

possibly be taken with what follows, that what
is once given, even if improperly, no longer be-
longs to the giver. He may not ask for it back,
but must leave the matter to a higher power.
6. dXXa KO\ irtp\ TOVTOV K.T.\. This seems in contra-
diction to what has gone before, but possibly only
refers to the case of good grounds for suspicion
as to the worthiness of the recipient. The copy-
ist (Const. Ap. vii. 1) omits the passage. So
long as promiscuous charity was the rule, there
would always be risk of impostors being relieved
at the cost of the deserving. Hence the later rule
of giving alms by means of the bishop, who, with
his assistants, would know of fit cases for relief.
t'Spwrtma [ o-drco], a somewhat strange expres-
sion ; possibly Hilgenfeld's suggestion tSpuo-drto
should be accepted. There is absolutely no clue
as to whence the passage is taken. With the
argument of this passage may be compared the
teaching of the Apostolical Constitutions, iv. 2, 3 :

There would seem rather to be a reminiscence
of our Lord's words, " All men cannot receive

his proper gift of God," 1 Cor. vii. 6, 7, 2528 ;
and with regard to meats, some such feeling as
that referred to by St. Paul, Horn. xiv. 2. The
next verse with regard to meat offered to idols
reads as though St. Paul's modification (1 Cor.

VII. 1. The preceding chapters contain such moral
instruction as was considered necessary before
baptism. Nothing has been said, however, as
to any teaching about God and the Christian
faith; nevertheless we need not conclude that
the neophyte was taught nothing on such sub-
jects, but rather that for some reason the writer of
the AiSaxij, confining himself to practical matters
alone, did not think fit to include what we should
call dogmatic teaching in the scope of his work,
but left it to be supplied orally by those who
spoke the word of God and of the 'Lordship'
of God, and by the saints whose words should
refresh the hearer, (ch. iv. 1, 2). Moreover,
such a statement as that in ch. iv. 10, that God
calls only those "whom the Spirit hath pre-
pared," would require some explanatory teaching.
Compare conversely St. Philip and the Eunuch
(Acts viii.), and St. Paul and the jailer at Philippi
(Acts xvi. 31). There probably may, too, as
Bryennius suggests, have been special reasons
for enforcing the moral law : 17 AtSa^j) n-epi rovrcov

The rules as to baptism are as clear as can be.
The candidate having been instructed, is to be
baptized in the name of the Father, of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost; if possible, in running
water, doubtless in memory of our Lord's Baptism
in the river Jordan. Should running water not
be at hand, standing water will suffice, whether
cold or warm, probably (according to a quotation
in Bryennius from St. Gregory Nyssen) in case of

sickness, or winter. So far, immersion seems to
be contemplated ; but we next meet, for the first
time iu ecclesiastical history, with express recog-
nition of the sufficiency of affusion. If running
water and standing water, as a lake or pond, are
both wanting, " pour water thrice on the head in
the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost." This can hardly refer solely to
clinical baptism, as the direction expressly relates
to the quantity of water, not in any way to the
state of the candidate.
Possibly raiira Travra Trpoenrovres may refer to
some profession, or its equivalent immediately
before baptism ; while fasting is ordered before
baptism for the baptizer and "any others who
can," the candidate himself having also to fast
for the fixed time of one or two days. This fast,
as regards all but the candidate, seems to have
fallen gradually into disuse; but see St. Chrysost.

Council of Elvira, A.D. 305, Saturday came to be
observed in the "West, and "Wednesday gradually
dropped out. (Bingham, Ant., xxi. iii. 6.) The
designation of the Jews by the term " hypocrites"
is probably not so much a mark of personal feel-
ing, which does not shew itself in the AtSa^i?, as
an adaptation of our Lord's words, " When ye
fast, be not as the hypocrites," &c. (Matt. vi. 16);
and this view is supported by the repetition of
the word hypocrites in the directions for prayer,
where the application to the Jews would be simply
out of place.

to know whether the "Wednesday and Friday fast

' being filled,' refer to a full meal such as a love-

metaphorically ? That the Apostolical Constitu-

interpretation. The love-feasts, though not al-
ways, yet so frequently accompanied the Eucha-
rist, that it is difficult sometimes to say what is
meant by Casna Domini, the Lord's Supper. But
the feasts seem, in the second century, to have
been ordinarily held after communion, as Pliny
says, in his often quoted letter to Trajan, 10. 96,
" Quibus (the Eucharist) peractis morem sibi dis-

5. Harnack points out in this Eucharistic prayer
three divisions, and the different names by which
God is invoked in each. In the first, the ei/xn-
piort'a, God is addressed as Holy Father, because
thanked for the gifts of revelation and eternal
life; in the second, the alvos Kal 86ga, He is in-
voked as Almighty Ruler (SeWora), with refer-
ence to the work of Creation; and in the third
part, fi>xr), God is Kvpios, Lord over the Church.
The three divisions of the prayer are found in

son kept under strict rule, and may never re-

St. Paul. Rules of this kind and those with
regard to prophets, which look as though per-
haps the xapiovzara were dying out, and worldly-
minded men making a profession for the sake of
gain, are the points which most weigh against
a very early date for the AiSa^ij. But then in the
Epistles we find false teachers of various sorts.
Next Prophets (sometimes apparently the same
as Apostles; hut note that in Acts xiii. 1, Bar-
nabas and Saul are prophets and teachers before
being ordained to the Apostolate) ; and Teachers
(xiii. 1, 2; xv. 1, 2). These also travel, but are
permitted to settle, if they wish it, in any parti-
cular congregation, and then have a right to their
maintenance, (xiii. 3). fjyovpevoi are mentioned
Heb. xiii. 7, as speakers of the word of God,
and in the first Epistle of St. Clement they are
often coupled with npftr^vrepoi. As some writers
have laid stress on the omission of the latter class
in this passage, it ma}' be well to refer to Tit. i.
5 7, which is unintelligible, unless the title
Vur/co7Tor is equivalent to npevpvTfpos, and may
refer in these early times to the same office.
Thirdly are mentioned (xv. 1, 2) Bishops and
Deacons, who are elected by the congregation, and
remain attached to it. As to the use of the title
Apostle, pee Bp. Lightfoot, Galatians (Ed. iv.),

tions the functions of the prophets and teachers,
(a bishop must, according to St. Paul, 1 Tim. iii. 2,
he "apt to teach," OI^OKTIKOS, cf. Tit. i. 9); and
of the prophets we are told again that they are
the 'high priests' of their people (xiii. 3). It is
impossible to discuss this question in a note, (Har-
nack has devoted an excursus of sixty-four pages,
besides notes, to the subject) ; but it may be fairly
asserted, that whilst the AiSaxq throws some light
upon the way in which the orders of the Christian
ministry were gradually assuming, at a particular
moment, their present functions, and whilst, as in
the New Testament, there was as yet no sharp
division with regard to some of the titles, it does
no more. Hilgenfeld, again, considers the passage
to refer to the apostles of Montanus.

Hilgenfeld and Harnack agree against Bryen-

date. Very possibly there is some corruption in
the text, but as yet we have no clue to guide us
in amending it. Hilgenfeld having assumed rather
than proved the writer to. be a Montanist, has
altered aud made the text capable of a Montanist

thetical, and this is the view taken in the trans-
lation, but perhaps crtWcrii/ 8eiat> Kal dpurrfpav,

prophet or teacher wishes to settle in a congre-
gation, he is to be maintained, and the first-fruits,
with the limitation in v. 7, <as av <roi 86y, (the
amount of first-fruits not being fixed by law,) are to
be given to the prophets. Comp. Nehem. x. 37.

singular is used of giving to the prophets as each
one's duty. The poor, if there were no prophet
to take charge of them, were the care of all.
4. tav 8e p.t) K.T.X. Were the poor not to be helped
if there were a prophet ? Is not the case rather
that the prophet takes the place, when he is
resident, afterwards assigned to the bishop, of
seeing to the poor ? The eVio-KOTroy includes irpea--
ftvTfpos, do some of these other offices not include
the later tnicrKonos ?
XIV. 1. Kvpuncrjit. The name given to the Lord's day,
Rev. i. 10. The pleonasm caused by adding
Kvpiov is strange but forcible. The noticeable
feature is that the Eucharist is ordered as the
special service for the Lord's day; the refer-
ences to this in early Christian literature are
numerous and well known, e.g. Just. Mart. Ap.
i. 67. Apostolical Constitutions, ii. 59, 60.
7rpof^ofj.o\oyrja-dfj.evoi. In chap. iv. confession in
the Church was spoken of more generally. Here
it is specially directed before the celebration of
the Eucharist, and the reason given, ' ' that your
sacrifice may be pure." This is the only ancient
direction for confession of sins as a public pre-
liminary to the Eucharist; the clause does not
appear in the corresponding section of the Apos-
tolical Constitutions, vii. 30, but it explains
some passages in other early writers.
2. faQiiva. VTTO Kvpiov, [Ma', i. 11, H]. This quo-
tation does not agree verbally with the Septua-
gint, and omits, possibly on account of the heathen
amongst whom these Christians were living, the
110 CRITICAL NOTES.
mention of incense. The passage is commonly
referred by early writers to the Eucharist (but
not to it alone), e.g. Just. M. Dial. 28, and else-
where; Iren. iv. 17, 5; Tertull. adv. Jud. 5, &c.
Aifoxv, however, alone modifies the text.
XV. 1. XftpoTovfja-arf. The selection of bishops and
deacons was, it seems, left to the congregation m
which they were to serve. XfipoTovflv is used,
Acts xiv. 23, of SS.Paul and Barnabas choosing
presbyters for the several congregations, and
2 Cor. viii. 19, of the selection made by the
churches of Titus to act with St. Paul in re-
ceiving the contributions made by the faithful.
Haruack looks upon these bishops and deacons
as specially the stewards, oiKovopoi, of the congre-
gations, but we are told in this very passage that
they minister the same office as the prophets and
teachers, and are ot TeTtwpcvoi. See note on xi. 2,
and comp. Bingham, Car. Ant. i. 46, ii. 15, &c.
irpatis Kai dcpiXapyvpovs. Zahn suggests that these
officers, having to exercise discipline, are to be
meek, and as they have the care of the poor, must
not be fond of money.
2. ovv. " Therefore." The mention of bishops and
deacons immediately upon that of the Eucharist
seems (against Harnack's view) to shew some
connection between them. Compare Clem. R.
1 Cor. xliv., TOVS afJit[jLTTTa)s Kai offt'cos irpocrfveyKOvras
TO. Scopa rf)S firiiTKonrjs a7ro/3aX<B/i/. And " bishops"
and deacons are constantly joined in speaking of
that service. Comp. for the third century the

CRITICAL NOTES. Ill
rence. The remarks of Pp. Lightfoot on Philip,
p. 191, tend to shew that the use of the term
bishop and not presbyter is a sign of writing to
Gentiles rather than Jews.
3. Comp. Matt, xviii. 15 17. The sense is fairly
clear, that every kind of private quarrel or dis-
agreement is to be absolutely put down. The
construction, do-roxftv Kara TWOS, does not seem to
occur elsewhere.
I should prefer Hilgenfeld's reading aKovfcrda,
and translate, Let no one speak nor listen to
him.
XVI. Hilgenfeld again insists that almost the whole
of this chapter is a Montanistic addition, but
although it may be true that some phrases might
have been written by a Montanist, there is no
convincing proof. " The end" was always in the
thoughts of the early Christians, even if the writer
of this treatise does not expect it so immediately
as some others. The passage may be compared
with Matt. xxiv. 42 44 ; Luke xii. 35 ; 2 Tim.
iii. 1 7 ; and 2 Pet. iii.
1. ot \VXVQI K.T.X. The text here is neither wholly
St. Matthew nor St. Luke, and again, as in I. 4,
Tatian's Diatessaron supports the mixed text.

5. \m avrov rov KaTa6(paros. Bryennius, followed by
Harnack, accepts the MS. reading vnb, and thinks
that by nardBf^a (= naravaBefjia} may be meant
Christ, whom those who are "offended" will curse.
He also suggests as a reading, eV avrov TOV KO.TO>
GtfjMTos, i.e. the earth, but Harnack rightly re-
marks that avrov is against this reading. Hil-
genfeld's suggestion, dnb, goes far to remove all
difficulties. The word Kara&jxa is adopted by
the N. T. revisers in Eev. xxii. 3. Bryennius,
in a letter to Harnack, quoted by the latter ad loc.,
makes a later suggestion that Karddf(j.a may mean
the being joined with those who are offended and
perish; or, the world deceiver himself; or, the
curse of God generally, from which those who
are then faithful will be wholly delivered for
ever. The latter seems the most satisfactory.
6. arjfjifia. These t-igns eeem to agree with Matt.
xxiv. 30, 31. 1. The sign of the Son of Man
seen in the opening heaven, what the special
"sign" may be ihe writer does not say; 2. The
sound of the trumpet ; 3. The gathering together
of the elect. For it is to be noted that the resur-
rection is specially limited in v. 7. Probably the
passages, 1 Thess. iv. 16, 17, 1 Cor. xv. 52, were
not known to the writer of the AtSa^^, but the
teaching is the same, and the difficulty some have
found in reconciling these passages with the
113
>7 may be solved by remarking, (1) that the
latter does not speak of those who are alive, and
(2) that the coming of the Lord, the voice of the
angel, and the resurrection will all take place " in
a moment, in the twinkling of an eye," and so be
to human senses simultaneous; the end being as
in this work, " Then shall the world see the Lord
coming upon the clouds of heaven."
These last lines speaking of the resurrection,
" but not of all," coupled with the quotation from
Zechariah, may denote a tendency to Montanism,
as Millenarianism was strongly held by that party.
But Christ Himself says that the angels will be
sent to "gather together the elect," Matt. xxiv.
