THE END.

Footnotes.

1 – The word in the original is Sacerdos. It is constantly
used by S. Ambrose and other writers of his time for
Bishops, though they sometimes add a qualifying epithet,
‘Summus Sacerdos.’ But even alone it is used where the
writer is clearly speaking of Bishops, and of Bishops
quâ Bishops. Thus it occurs frequently in the Proceedings
of the Council of Aquileia, which is itself styled
‘Sacerdotale Concilium.’ See the Article ‘Bishop’ by Mr.
Haddan in Dict. of Chr. Ant. Vol. 1 p. 210 b., who refers
also to Bp. Taylor, Episc. Assert. § 27. It has therefore
been rendered ‘Bishop’ throughout this volume, wherever
it is plain that the reference is to Bishops, and ‘Priest’
wherever it is used in a more general way.

2 – This forms the two first books of the ‘De Fide’ still
extant among the works of S. Ambrose. The other three
books were added afterwards, as S. Ambrose explains at the
beginning of Bk. iii, to maintain his statements against
the attacks of heretical teachers. The Treatise, ‘De
Spiritu Sancto,’ in 3 books, was sent afterwards in
381 A.D.

3 – Nivei. This is the reading all MSS. Ed. Rom. has ‘vivi,’
which would agree better with the text of S. John.

4 – The Benedictine reference for the first of these texts
is Prov. xiv. 3. _The lips of the wise shall preserve
them_, with which the Sept. and Vulg. agree. In the second
the English Vers. has _The lips of the wise disperse
knowledge_. Here S. Ambr. agrees with the Sept.

5 – Forum Cornelii was on the Via Æmilia, about 23 miles S.E.
of Bononia. It was at this time in the Province Æmilia.
The modern name is Imola.

6 – The Benedictine Editors refer this to the ravages of the
Goths after Valens’ defeat at Hadrianople A.D. 375. It is
on this that they found the date of the letter, but the
reference is somewhat vague.

7 – tubera

8 – Amentata illa non manipularis sententia. Ed. Ben. refers
to Junius, Adagiorum Centuriae 3, 10, who says ‘Amentatam
sententiam dixit D. Ambrosius pro validâ et haud vulgari
firmisque argumentis roboratâ. Est autem amentum lori
genus quo hasta praeligata validius certiusque libratur
evibraturque: hinc amentata sententia ea est quæ neutiquam
trivialis est et pedanea, cujusmodi manipularis vocatur,
velut a gregario milite profecta, sed eximia et artificio
vallata.’ He quotes two passages from Cicero, De Orat.
1 57, 242. Brut. 78. 271, in both which places he uses
‘amentatæ hastæ’ of arguments, and also Tertull. adv. Marc.
iv. 33 where he says that our Lord amentavit [Phariseis]
hanc sententiam, non potestis Deo servire et mammonæ,
where it plainly means, ‘gave them this home-thrust.’

9 – puleium, lit. the herb penny royal.

10 – Bassianus is mentioned among the Bishops who took in the
Council of Aquileia, as Bishop of Laus Pompeia, now Lodi
Vecchio, S.E. of Milan. The modern town of Lodi is about
5 miles from the site of the ancient one.

11 – He means the day of his consecration as Bishop. So S. Ambr.
speaks of his own consecration day as his birthday, Comm.
in Luc. vii. 78.

12 – Comum is the modern Como, at the southern extremity of the
Lake which takes its name from it.

13 – These words are added by S. Ambrose.

14 – statera.

15 – denarius.

16 – ὅροι.

17 – There is no text in Holy Scripture exactly corresponding
to this. Lev. xxv. 11 which is referred to by Ed. Ben. is
hardly to the point.

18 – There can be little doubt that the true date is iii. Non.
Sept. i. e. the 3rd of Sept., and not Nonis, the 5th. For
in 381 A.D. the 5th of Sept. was on a Sunday, and it is
hardly likely that a Council would have sat from daybreak
till one o’clock (Ep. 10. 5) in the Church on such a day,
and moreover it would not have been natural for Palladius
to say, as he does in § 47. Non respondebo nisi auditores
veniant post Dominicam diem, if he were speaking on a
Sunday.

19 – The reading of Ed. Rom. has been adopted, which omits the
preposition ‘cum. ’ If this were correct, it would imply
that the consuls were themselves taking a leading part in
the Council; whereas it is clear that they are mentioned
solely as the ordinary way of fixing the year; nor had
the consuls at this time any other than such ornamental
functions. See Gibbon’s description, ch. xvii. vol. ii.
ed. Smith p. 206–208.

20 – By ‘acta’ here are meant formal and official records taken
down and published by authority. Thus Jul. Cæsar ordered
the ‘Acta’ of the Senate to be regularly published. Suet.
Cæs. 20.
