IN GRATITUDE FOR A FRIENDSHIP OF MORE THAN FORTY YEARS. October, 1884. 1075401 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. Krawutzky, Tiibinger Quartal Schrift. 1884, iv. Holtzmann, Jahrbiicher f. prot. Theologie. 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 b VI PEE FACE TO SECOND EDITION. 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." Easter, 18S5. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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;^. ILLUSTRATIONS, No. IY. 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. 26 ILLUSTRATIONS, NO. IV. 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. PKOM THE ECCLESIASTICAL CANONS. 27 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. 28 ILLUSTRATIONS, NO. IV. 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 FROM THE ECCLESIASTICAL CANONS. 29 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.

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 36 ILLUSTRATIONS, NO. V. 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 FEOM A COPTIC VERSION OF THE CANONS. 37 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- 38 ILLUSTBATIONS, NO. V. 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." ILLUSTKATIONS, No. VI. 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.

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.

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."

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 ovbev eiirev I8ia, are TrpaKTiKf) Si8a<7KaXi'a ovcra Kai rt]v Ttpagiv o-KOTToOcra naXiaTa. Bryennius in loo. 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 CKITICAL NOTES. 97 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.

For the adult candi- date the rule exists still in East and West ; and possibly the rule in force in England till the Re- formation, that the Bishop and candidates for Confirmation should be fasting, is a reminiscence of the old baptismal order. VIII. In this chapter we have the earliest rules for Wednesday and Friday as fasting-days, instead of Monday and Thursday, shewing, with the later notice as to the Lord's day, how the Christian division of the week was taking root. Alter the J CRITICAL NOTES. 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. 1. vpfis 8e vrjoTeva-are K.T.\. It would be interesting to know whether the "Wednesday and Friday fast was originally connected with the events of our Lord's Passion, or, as is here implied, in order to avoid the Jewish fasting days, Monday and Thurs- day.

Harnack prefers inserting a comma after dyiao-Qelo-av, and makes tls ryv OTJI/ /Sao-iXetav dependent upon a-vvaov, as in ch. ix. 4. The latter has been followed in the English trans- lation, but with some hesitation. It is also adopted by Duchesne in the Bulletin Critique, 1884, No. 5, p. 92. . St. Paul, 1 Cor. xi. 26, speaks of Christians as shewing forth in the Holy Communion the Lord's death, &xpis ov eX%. Here the Death is passed over, and the thought of the Coming again ex- pands into a burst of prayer for the end. Bryen- nius contrasts Tertullian's statement, Apol. c. 39, [Migne, i. 468,] " Oramus . . . pro mora finis." The prayer in the AiSo^ agrees better with Rev. xxii. 17, 20. Hilgenfeld, surely without ground, thinks that these clauses savour of Montanism, and suggests that the passage between the dox- ology and the Amen may have been interpolated. f\8(To> x"P ls - Cf. 1 Pet. i. 13, " the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." 7rap(\6fT<0 6 Koa-fJios OVTOS.

But it is not easy to see any reason for changing uiw to ee (except the simi- larity of the letters), whilst the converse would be very likely. Harnack points out that as Bar- 104 CKJIICAL NOTES. naba Ep. xii. says. David would not call Christ his Son, but, (poj3ovfj.et'os KOI a~vvla>v TTJV n\avr}V T>V anapTO)\5)v, called Him Lord, and there are other signs of a feeling in the second century against the title, Son of David. Piobably, then, the MS. reading is the true one. papavadd, i.e. " The Lord is coming," 1 Cor. xvi. 22. Here, according to liturgical analogy would be the place for Communion, if we have a form of Eucharistic service before us. 7. TO!? 8e TrpofyfiTais. There seems to have been a special freedom allowed to the prophets (cf. 1 Cor. xiv. 29, 31), as later on to the n-poeo-rcos. Just. M. Apol. i. 67. We must not, however, suppose that we have here a complete liturgy, or that such as yet existed. Kather the prayers here given are such as all might say, when no prophet was present, irrespective of any special liturgical prayers, containing the words of Insti- tution and Lord's Prayer. Compare 1 Clem, xli., (KacrTos fjfJiaiV ev TV aTToarroKtov KOI TTpofyrjrutv. Amongst those, \a\ovvres TOV \6yov rov Qfov (iv. 1), are three different classes : first, the Apostles, whose duty it was to go from place to place, especially to open new fields of work. They are for some rea- CRITICAL NOTES. 105 son kept under strict rule, and may never re- main in one place. This would not have suited 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.), p. 92 101. The name Presbyter does not occur in the AtSc^, but (xv. 1, 2) we are told that the bishops and deacons perlorm in their congrega- 106 CRITICAL NOTES. 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. 4. Tfds aTTooT-oXoy. The rules as to Apostles are strict and simple. They are to be received "as the Lord." They may stay nowhere beyond two days, receive no money nor food more than enough to take them to their next quarters. Eusebius, H.

Perhaps because all have not the gift of "discerning of spirits," 1 Cor. xii. 10, and so there would be danger of presumption. But see Rev. ii. 2. In outward behaviour and moral matters we find later on that a prophet may be judged. 8. TOVS rpoirovs Kv/n'ov. The test of true and false prophets is whether their manner and behaviour agree with those of Christ. Hermas, Past.

It seems hope- less to ascertain the meaning of this passage ; several commentators and translators give differ- ent interpretations, and none are wholly satis- factory. Bryennius well suggests that it means some dramatic action from things in common life used to symbolize heavenly teaching, such as those performed by Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Agabus. Evidently what was done was startling, perhaps suspicious, yet not necessarily evil, and so God alone could judge. It might be understood, especially after the preceding passages, to have some reference to Sacraments, and teaching concerning them, could 108 CRITICAL NOTES. one trace this use of nvvrfjpiov to a sufficiently early date, for cKfcXijo-ia? may be genitive. Hilgenfeld and Harnack agree against Bryen- nius and Duchesne, in thinking that the " old prophets" mean Christian prophets of earlier 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 interpretation. If his assumption be granted, his reading might be possible. Harnack, in a note very difficult to follow, endeavours to prove that the passage means abstaining from marriage. XII. 1. iras epxontvos.

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. 31. Cp. 1 Cor. xv. 23; Rev. xx. 4, 5.
