Two Notes by the
American Editor.
————————————
P. 609. The author’s elucidation of
the figure,
anthropopathy
, is an enlargement of Clement’s
casual remarks in the
Stromata
(cap. xvi. vol. ii. p. 363, this
series). Consult
On the Figurative Language of Holy
Scripture
, Jones of Nayland,
Works
, vol. iv. ed.
1801.
P. 630, note 5. Compare Waterland, vol. ii.
p. 210, ed. 1823; also
Life of Bishop Bull
, by Robert Nelson, p.
260. For the extraordinary history of Bull’s work in
France, see the said
Life
, pp. 327–333. For
Petavius, Waterland, vol. ii. p. 277, and Bull’s
Life
, p.
243.
Petavius
seems to have had a crafty design to sustain
the Council of Trent by arguing that the Council of Nicæa also
made
new
dogmas. Bull proves that it only
bore witness
to the old
. To the honour of the assembled bishops of the
Gallican Church, they sustained Bull against the
Jesuit.
