Qui ergo animæ naturalibus, ita ut oportet, utitur\r\noperationibus, desiderat quidem ea, quæ sunt convenientia, odio autem\r\nhabet ea, quæ lædunt, sicut jubent mandata: “Benedices” enim, inquit,\r\n“benedicenti, et maledices maledicenti.” Quando autem his, ira scilicet\r\net cupiditate, superior factus, et creaturæ amore vere affectus propter\r\neum, qui est Deus et effector omnium, gnostice vitam instituerit, et\r\nSalvatori similis evadens, facilem temperantiæ habitum acquisiverit, et\r\ncognitionem, fidem, ac dilectionem conjunxerit, simplici hac in parte\r\njudicio utens, et vere spiritalis factus, nec earum, quæ ex ira et\r\ncupiditate procedunt, cogitationum omnino capax, ad Domini imaginem ab\r\nipso<span class=\"pagenum\" id=\"Page_117\">[117]</span> artifice efficitur homo perfectus, is sane dignus jam est, qui\r\nfrater a Domino nominetur, is simul est amicus et filius. Sic ergo “duo\r\net tres” in eodem “congregantur,” nempe in homine gnostico. Poterit\r\netiam multorum quoque concordia ex tribus æstimata, cum quibus est\r\nDominus, significare unam Ecclesiam, unum hominem, genus unum. Annon\r\ncum uno quidem Judæo erat Dominus, cum legem tulit: at prophetans, et\r\nJeremiam mittens Babylonem, quinetiam eos qui erant ex gentibus vocans\r\nper prophetiam, congregavit duos populos: tertius autem est unus, qui\r\nex duobus “creatur in novum hominem, quo inambulat et inhabitat” in\r\nipsa Ecclesia? Et lex simul et prophetæ, una cum Evangelio, in nomine\r\nChristi congregantur in unam cognitionem. Qui ergo propter odium uxorem\r\nnon ducunt, vel propter concupiscentiam carne indifferenter abutuntur,\r\nnon sunt in numero illorum qui servantur, cum quibus est Dominus.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","BOOK III.","CAPUT X.
