12. P. 369, Chap. X. 3.
And having neither known nor done the requirement of the law, what they conceived, that they also thought that the law required. And they did not believe the law, as prophesying, but the bare word; and followed it from fear, but not with their disposition and in faith.

On 2 Corinthians 5:16. "And if we have known Christ after the flesh."
And so far, he says, no one any longer lives after the flesh. For that is not life, but death. For Christ also, that He might show this, ceased to live after the flesh. How? Not by putting off the body! Far be it! For with it as His own He shall come, the Judge of all. But by divesting Himself of physical affections, such as hunger, and thirst, and sleep, and weariness. For now He has a body incapable of suffering and of injury.
As "after the flesh" in our case is being in the midst of sins, and being out of them is to be "not after the flesh; "so also after the flesh, in the case of Christ, was His subjection to natural affections, and not to be subject to them was not to be "after the flesh.""But," he says, "as He was released, so also are we." Let there be no longer, he says, subjection to the influences of the flesh. Thus Clement, the fourth book of the Hypotyposes.
14. From the Same, P. 391.
On 2 Corinthians 6:11. "Our heart is enlarged."
For as heat is wont to expand, so also love. For love is a thing of warmth. As if he would say, I love you not only with mouth, but with heart, and have you all within. Wherefore he says: "ye are not straitened in us, since desire itself expands the soul." "Our heart is enlarged" to teach you all things; "but ye are straitened in your own bowels," that is, in love to God, in which you ought to love me.
Thus Clement, in the fourth book of the Hypotyposes.
15. From Vol. III. V. 286.
Hebrews 1:1. "At sundry times and divers manners."
Since the Lord, being the Apostle of the Almighty, was sent to the Hebrews, it was out of modesty that Paul did not subscribe himself apostle of the Hebrews, from reverence for the Lord, and because he was the herald and apostle of the Gentiles, and wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews in addition [to his proper work].
16. From the Same.
The same work contains a passage from The Instructor, book i. chap. vi. The passage is that beginning, "For the blood is found to be," down to "potent charms of affection."Portions, however, are omitted. There are a good many various readings; but although the passage in question, as found in Cramer's work, is printed in full in Migne's edition, on the alleged ground of the considerable variation from the text of Clement, the variation is not such as to make a translation of the passage as found in Cramer of any special interest or value.
We have noted the following readings:-
ginetai , where, the verb being omitted, we have inserted is: There is an obstruction, etc.
su/riggaj , tubes, instead of j , raggaj (hollows), hollows of the breasts.
geitniazousw=n , for geitniousw=n neighbouring (arteries).
e0pilh/yei , for e0mperilh/yei interruption (such as this).
a0poklh/rwsij , occurs as in the text, for which the emendation a0polh/rhsij , as specified in the note, has been adopted.
h !tij e0sti/ , omitted here, which is"sweet through grace," is supplied.
P. 142.
ga/la , milk, instead of ma/nna , manna, (that food) manna.
