The two witnesses to our Lord. 113 114 How to understand, He that cometh after me has become before me. 115 116 All that we have a gift from the Son's fulness. S.

God the Son in the Father and from the Father. 123 124 The Bosom of the Father, the Intimate Oneness with Him of God the Son. 125 126 S. John Baptist's testimony.

[Most of the footnotes, moved to the end and renumbered. The margin contains mainly biblical references and fragments of Greek. These have been omitted]
1. a Taking Ἀρχὴ to include its meaning of Sovereignty.
2. a "For God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." E. V. The Alexandrine family of Greek MSS, (to which S. Cyril's copy of New Testament plainly belonged) and the Codex Sinaiticus, omit the nominative.
3. a S. Cyril with the uncial MSS. ABC. has through God in the place of of God through Christ.
4. a S. Cyril punctuates thus, with many of the Fathers and with the uncial MSS. CDL.
5. b S. Cyril means to say that first, He would have His own actual Being: and that over and above this, if He were originate, since all things originate partake of Him as their source of Life, He must needs partake of Himself as source of Life to Himself.
6. a ἄγγελοι. The Greek word "angel" signifying literally a messenger and used in classic Greek in that meaning.
7. b "Mine Anointed," E. V. "My Christ," LXX.
8. a ἐξ ἀκράτου θεολογίας "from pure Theology," speaking of the Divine feature apart from the Dispensation with the Flesh.

10. c οἰκείωσις, the relation of belonging to the household.
11. d τῷ τῆς ἰδιότητος ἀποκεκλήσεται λόγῳ.
12. a "The Only-Begotten God." So read the uncial MSS. BCL of the Alexandrine family and the Codex Sinaiticus and so S. Cyril here.
13. b Joel. S. Cyril quotes apparently from memory.
14. c Tishbite LXX. "Prophet" Heb.
15. d ἀρχὴν, "beginning" or "sovereignty"; vide supra p. 14.
