PREFACE 

"  DOCTRINAL  restatement "  is  in  the  air ;  and  it 
becomes  necessary  to  consider  why  it  is  desirable 
to  reconsider  our  ecclesiastical  doctrines  and  to 
discover  in  what,  and  why,  they,  any  or  all,  are 
defective.  It  is  sometimes  argued  that  doctrines 
are  like  the  discoveries  of  scientific  truths,  in  that 
they  are  said  to  be  "  developed,"  just  as  scientific 
hypotheses  come  in  time  to  be  recognised  as 
truths.  But  with  regard  to  the  Church's  doctrines, 
it  is  not  so  much  a  question  of  development  as  a 
recasting  that  is  necessary ;  nor,  indeed,  is  this 
quite  correct,  when  it  is  added  that  they  must  be 
adapted  to  modern  ideas,  for  we  shall  see  that  they 
have  really  arisen  from  erroneous  interpretations 
of  the  Greek  words.  Such  occur  first  in  the  Latin 
of  the  Vulgate,  and  thence  appear  in  our  own 
tongue  ;  so  that  "  degradation  "  would  seem  to  be 
sometimes  a  more  applicable  term  than  develop- 
ment ;  and  what  is  therefore  wanted  is  a  restora- 
tion to  the  original  meaning  of  the  Greek  of  the

vi  PREFACE 

New  Testament,  as  meant  by  the  authors  of  the 
Gospels  and  Epistles,  and  understood  by  their 
readers. 

My  object,  therefore,  is  to  show  that,  since  the 
knowledge  of  the  Bible  in  the  early  centuries  of 
our  era  was  based  entirely  upon  the  Vulgate,  a 
familiarity  with  the  Greek  language  being  in 
abeyance,  this  Latin  version  supplied  nearly  all 
the  terms  required  for  ecclesiastical  doctrines. 

As  the  first  English  Bible,  by  Wiclif,  in  1380, 
was  a  translation  of  the  Vulgate,  and  the  several 
versions  of  the  sixteenth  century,  as  well  as  the 
A.V.  and  R.V.,  all  more  or  less  follow  his  lead, 
the  influence  of  the  Vulgate  is  very  apparent 
throughout.  The  reader  will  at  once  perceive 
this  in  the  mere  enumerations  of  doctrinal  terms  in 
common  usage.  Some  refer  to  Christ  (included  in 
Part  I.),  others  to  man  and  his  salvation  (Part  II.). 

I  propose  considering  each  term  separately, 
and  comparing,  or  rather  contrasting,  its  meaning 
with  the  Greek  equivalent ;  then  it  will  be  dis- 
covered where  the  Latin  fails  to  represent  the 
Greek,  and  how  sometimes  very  disastrous 
consequences  have  issued  from  the  error.  It 
need  hardly  be  added  that  there  are  false  doc-

trines,  as  we  believe,  taught  by  the  Roman 
Church,  which  have  been  promulgated  at  different 
periods,  but  have  no  direct  origin  in  the  Vulgate : 
as  the  Immaculate  Conception  of  the  Virgin  Mary, 
the  infallibility  of  the  Pope,  etc. — though  that 
Church  may  try  to  find  texts  appropriate  in 
support  of  them.  These  I  have  not  considered.

THE    VULGATE 

THE  SOURCE  OF  FALSE  DOCTRINES 
PART   I 

DOCTRINAL    TERMS  APPLICABLE   TO 
CHRIST 

CHAPTER  I 

THE    SUPPOSED   THEOLOGICAL    UNITY    BETWEEN 
THE  OLD   AND   NEW  TESTAMENTS 

THERE  is  a  very  general  impression  that  some  of 
the  ecclesiastical  doctrines  taught  by  the  Church, 
not  only  the  Roman  but  the  Protestant  as  well, 
require,  to  say  the  least,  some  restatement,  as  not 
being  in  exact  accordance  with  the  teachings  of 
the  New  Testament  when  strictly  deduced  from 
the  Greek  text.  My  object  is  to  show  that  it  is 
in  the  Latin  Vulgate  that  we  shall  discover  the 


2  THE   VULGATE 

original  source  of  most  of  the  still  remaining 
errors.  The  consequence  is  that  our  ecclesiastical 
doctrinal  terms  are  almost  entirely  of  Latin  origin, 
for  the  most  part  being  taken  direct  from  the 
Vulgate  ;  and  as  the  English  Bible  grew  out  of 
translations  of  the  sixteenth  century,  all  being 
based  on  the  Vulgate,  mistranslations  reappear  in 
an  English  dress;  for,  although  the  Hebrew  and 
Greek  originals  were  appealed  to  by  translators 
and  revisers  during  and  since  the  Reformation,  it 
is  easy  to  see  that  important  words  derived  from 
the  Latin  still  remain  unchanged,  even  in  our 
latest  revision. 

The  consequence  is  that  false  doctrines,  started 
in  the  early  centuries  and  added  to  or  confirmed 
by  later  writers — as  by  Anselm  in  the  eleventh — 
being  based  on  the  Vulgate,  not  only  still  persist 
in  the  Roman  Church  but  hold  their  ground  with 
Protestants,  as  they  can,  unfortunately,  be  sup- 
ported by  our  own  English  translations. 

Now  this  may  seem  to  be  a  serious  charge  against 
our  established  theology ;  but  I  shall  endeavour 
to  show  that  the  Vulgate  is  primarily  responsible 
for  existing  misinterpretations. 

The  ecclesiastical  terms   which  I  propose  con- 


OLD  AND  NEW  TESTAMENTS'  UNITY   3 

sidering  are,  first,  those  which  are  associated  with 
Christ,  and  more  especially  with  His  death. 
Secondly,  there  are  those  which  are  especially 
applicable  to  the  Christian. 

Before  dealing  with  each  term  separately,  the 
"  theoretical  unity,"  as  it  might  be  called,  which 
was  supposed  to  underlie  both  the  Old  and  New 
Testaments,  must  be  alluded  to,  as  this  was  a 
fundamental  error  of  itself.  The  Old  Testament 
was  regarded,  as  not  only  equally  important  as 
the  New  ;  but  the  doctrines  framed  upon  the  latter 
were  supposed  to  be  all  foreshadowed,  and  were 
actually  supported,  and  even  regarded  as  proved 
to  be  true,  by  texts  isolated  from  the  context  of 
the  Old.  This  is  especially  illustrated  by  the 
conception  of  "sacrifice"  and  its  object.  The 
reader  need  but  glance  at  the  headings  of  many 
chapters  in  the  Old  Testament  of  the  A.V.  (1611) 
to  see  how  this  false  conception  was  carried  through 
and  over  the  Reformation  into  the  seventeenth 
century,  and  thence  onwards  until  the  nineteenth  ; 
all  such  headings  being  cancelled  in  the  R.V. 
(1880).  Thus,  opening  it  at  random,  at  the  fortieth 
chapter  of  Isaiah  we  read  :  "  i.  The  promulga- 
tion of  the  Gospel.  2.  The  preaching  of  John 


4  THE   VULGATE 

Baptist."  These  are  substituted  for  the  headings 
in  the  Genevan  Bible,  in  which  occurs :  "  I.  Re- 
mission of  sinnes  by  Christ.  2.  The  coming  of 
John  Baptist." 

Of  the  many  serious  consequences  of  transferring 
Old  Testament  ideas  and  customs  to  the  New,  is 
what  is  known  as  sacerdotalism.  Thus,  in  the 
INDEX  BIBLICUS  at  the  end  of  the  Sixtine  Vulgate, 
ed.  1844,  we  read,  s.v.  SACERDOS — Sacerdos,  non 
Lex  aul  Scriptura  sola,  est  judex,  qucestionum  exori- 
entium  (A  priest,  not  the  Law  or  Scripture  only, 
is  a  judge  of  questions  as  they  arise). 

When  we  remember  how  the  word  "  priest " 
arose  out  of  "  presbyter  "  (Greek  7rpe<7/3irre/oo?,  an 
"  elder "),  who  was  identical  with  the  eTr/cr/coTro?, 
"overseer,"  hence  "bishop" — eTno-AcoTro?  indicating 
the  "  function  "  and  Trpecr/Svrepo?  the  "  dignity  " 1 — 
it  certainly  seems  rather  far  fetched  to  select  the 
following  texts  as  proofs  of  the  judicial  function  of 
modern  priests  : z — "  And  it  shall  be  when  he  [the 
king]  sitteth  upon  the  throne  of  his  kingdom,  that 
he  shall  write  him  a  copy  of  this  law  in  a  book, 
out  of  that  which  is  before  the  priests  the  levites. 

1  See  Thayer's  Lexicon. 

2  Other  references  as  proofs  are  Deut.  xvii.  9,  12 ;  Mai.  ii.  7. 


OLD  AND  NEW  TESTAMENTS'  UNITY  5 

In  controversy  they  [the  priests  the  levites]  shall 
stand  to  judge ;  according  to  my  judgments  shall 
they  judge  it;  and  they  shall  keep  my  laws  and 
my  statutes  in  all  my  appointed  feasts ;  and  they 
shall  hallow  my  sabbaths." 1  "  For  the  priest's 
lips  should  keep  knowledge,  and  they  should  seek 
the  law  at  his  mouth :  for  he  is  the  messenger  of 
the  Lord  of  hosts."  2 

From  these  three  passages  referred  to  as  proofs, 
it  is  obvious  that  all  the  priests  could  do  was,  not 
to  judge  of  themselves,  but  simply  to  pronounce 
what  was  God's  or  Yahweh's  judgment,  as  applic- 
able to  any  case  in  question. 

When  we  turn  to  the  New  Testament,  who  or 
what  was  to  be  a  judge  under  Christianity  ?  We 
do  not  even  read  that  it  is  God,  the  Father.  "  For 
neither  doth  the  Father  judge  any  man,  but  he 
hath  given  all  judgment  unto  the  Son.  .  .  .  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that  heareth  my  word, 
and  hath  faith  in  [believeth,  R.V.]  him  that  sent  me, 
hath  eternal  life,  and  cometh  not  into  judgment."  3 
"  He  that  rejecteth  me,  and  receiveth  not  my  sayings, 
hath  one  that  judgeth  him  :  the  word  that  I  spake, 
the  same  shall  judge  him  in  the  last  day."4 

1  Ezek.  xliv.  24.       2  Mai.  ii.  7.        3  John  v.  22  ff.       4  John  xii.  48. 


6  THE   VULGATE 

A  Christian,  therefore,  requires  no  priest  to  tell 
him  that.  He  can  judge  himself  by  the  standard 
of  Christ's  life ;  for  he  knows  whether  he  is  honestly 
trying  to  live  up  to  it  or  "  rejecting  His  sayings  " ; 
and,  if  so,  he  is  consequently  self-condemned. 

Though  the  word  "  priest "  is  etymologically 
derived  from  Trpeo-ftvTepos,  it  seems  to  be  regarded 
by  ecclesiastics  as  if  equivalent  to  iepcfa,  because  he 
is  looked  upon  as  the  successor  of  the  priesthood 
under  the  Mosaic  law.  Hence  the  terms  and 
offices  of  the  Aaronic  priesthood  were  regarded 
as  guaranteeing  those  of  the  Christian  ministry ; 
and  as  the  priestly  duties  and  authority  were 
exercised  under  the  direct  sanction  of  Yahweh, 
this  conception  was  then  transferred  to  priests  of 
the  Christian  dispensation.  If,  therefore,  a  priest 
can  claim  to  give  his  own  judgment,  how  much 
more  may  not  a  pope !  And  such  has  been  the 
case,  for  now  he  is  regarded  as  infallible. 

So  that  the  modern  priest  is  looked  upon  much 
more  as  a  lepev?,  sacerdos,  than  a  Trpea-fivrepo?  or 
elder. 


CHAPTER  II 

THE   SACRIFICE  OF  OUR   LORD 

THE  terms  attributed  to  Christ  with  special  refer- 
ence to  His  death  upon  the  cross  may  be  arranged 
in  the  following  order,  in  accordance  with  the 
supposed  sequence  in  the  effects  and  results. 

His  death,  speaking  generally,  was  regarded 
theologically  as  a  SACRIFICE  (sacrificium).  This 
involved  His  OFFERING  or  OBLATION  (oblatio)  of 
His  body  upon  the  cross ;  His  object  being  to  pro- 
pitiate God  (propitiatid),  in  order  to  expiate  the 
sins  of  humanity  (expiatio),  and  so  satisfy  God's 
justice  (satisfactio).  He  thus  redeemed  man  from 
punishment  in  hell  (redemptio)  and  reconciled  God 
to  man  (reconciliatio,  or  atonement;  i.e.,  at-one- 
ment,  in  the  sixteenth  century).  Thus  He  became 
our  Saviour,  and  secured  man's  salvation  (salvatio). 

The  celebration  of  the  Lord's  Supper  to-day 
7 


8  THE   VULGATE 

consists  of  our  "sacrifice  of  prayer  and  praise" 
(eucharistia)',  but  into  this  has  been  read  "the 
Real  Presence"  and  "transubstantiation"  (tran- 
substantiatio),  from  misunderstanding  the  meaning 
of  the  words,  "  This  is  my  Body "  and  "  This  is 
my  Blood." 

SACRIFICE  (sacrificium). — The  first  question  that 
arises  is,  Of  what  nature  was  Christ's  sacrifice? 
Was  it  vicarious  and  involuntary  like  that  of  the 
animals  offered  up  of  old,  by  means  of  the  oblation 
of  which  a  man's  sin  was  "  covered " ;  or  was  it 
done  "  on  behalf  of  "  and  not  "  instead  of  "  man  ? 

In  the  book  of  Ezra  we  read  that  Cyrus  made  a 
decree  that  the  priests  should  be  supplied  with 
animals,  "that  they  may  offer  sacrifices  of  sweet 
savour  unto  the  God  of  heaven." l  St  Paul  uses  a 
very  similar  expression  in  speaking  of  our  Lord, 
who  "loved  you,  and  gave  himself  up  for  us,  an 
offering  and  a  sacrifice  to  God  for  an  odour  of 
a  sweet  smell."2  The  expression  is  outwardly 
identical,  but  obviously  only  metaphorical  in  the 
case  of  Christ.  The  "sweet  smell"  represents  the 

1  Ezra  vi.  10. 

2  Eph.  v.  2.     The  Vulgate  has  Oblationem  ;  tt  hostiatn  Deo  in 
odorem  suavitatis.     So,  Phil.  iv.  1 8. 


THE   SACRIFICE   OF   OUR   LORD      9 

free-will  or  voluntary  offering  of  Himself  to  death, 
whereas  He  might  have  called  down  twelve  legions 
of  angels  to  avert  it.1 

This  is  the  fundamental  difference  between  the 
two  Testaments,  and  it  must  never  be  lost  sight 
of.  All  such  "  sacrificial "  expressions  in  the  New 
Testament  are  metaphorical  \  the  spiritual  mean- 
ing must  be  read  into  the  material.  The  old  sacri- 
ficial system  of  rams,  bulls,  goats,  etc.,  was  utterly 
abolished  by  Christ.  All  His  disciples  and  the 
Apostles  knew  this  well ;  and  their  converts  came 
to  know  it  at  once,  too.  Hence  there  could  not 
have  been  any  possibility  of  a  mistake  at  that 
time.  Moreover,  there  are  no  signs  of  any. 

Subsequently,  however,  the  belief  arose  that  the 
Old  Testament  was  an  authority  for  the  New ; 
that  what  was  said  of  Christ  was  also  meant  in  the 
Old  Testament.  This  involved  a  material  sacri- 
fice on  His  part.  Consequently,  as  sacrifices  were 
offered  daily,2  so  it  is  said :  "  The  sacrifice  of 
the  New  Testament  is  called  a  perpetual  sacrifice. 
It  shall  be  celebrated  until  the  Lord  may  come."  3 

1  Matt.  xxvi.  53. 

2  Exod.  xxix.  38  ;  Num.  xxviii.  3. 

3  Novi  Testamenti  sacrificium  appellatur  Juge  sacrificium.     Cele- 
brabitur    donee    venial    Dominus    (The     sacrifice    of    the     New 


io  THE   VULGATE 

This  was  thought  to  be  corroborated  by,  "  For 
as  often  as  ye  eat  of  this  bread,"  etc.1  But  it  is 
obvious  to  the  impartial  reader  that  "  often "  can- 
not possibly  mean  "  daily." 

The  mistake  of  the  Vulgate  is  twofold :  first,  in 
making  the  Old  Testament  an  interpreter  of  the 
New ;  and  secondly,  in  regarding  the  symbolism  of 
the  latter  as  being  literally  true2  in  the  concrete 
sense. 

With  regard  to  the  word  "  sacrifice  "  as  applied 
to  our  Lord,  there  are  thus  two  ways  in  which  it 
has  been  considered.  One  is  the  voluntary  and 
purely  spiritual  surrendering  of  His  will  to  God, 
in  which  all  thoughts  of  self  are  ignored  in  His 
dying  upon  the  cross  on  "behalf  of"3  Humanity. 
This  might  be  expressed  as,  "  He  saved  others, 
himself  he  will  not  save." 

Testament  is  called  a  sacrifice  in  perpetuity.  It  shall  be  celebrated 
until  the  Lord  cometh).  Vulg.,  INDEX  BIBLICUS.  Cp.  Dan.  xi. 
3 1 ,  xii.  1 1  ;  refs.  to  the  cessation  of  the  daily  sacrifice. 

1  i  Cor.  xi.  26. 

2  The  following  expressions  occur  in  Latin  in  the  INDEX  BIB- 
LICUS to  the  Vulgate:— "The  sacrifice  of  the  Mass  was  predicted 
and  announced  before."     "The  sacrifice  of  the  Mass  was  signified 
by  means  of  various  figures  in  the  Old  Testament."     "  Nor  shall  one 
be  wanting  to  offer  the  sacrifice." 

3  virep  is  always  used  in  the  New  Testament   in  reference  to 
Christ's  death.     It  is  never  avrl,  ' '  instead  of. " 


THE   SACRIFICE   OF   OUR   LORD     11 

In  the  other  view,  materialistic  ideas  more  or 
less  linger,  as,  e.g.,  in  transubstantiation,  consub- 
stantiation,  the  Real  Presence,  etc.,  in  which  false 
dogmas  the  concrete  materials  of  bread  and  wine 
are  supposed  to  be  somehow  changed  into  the 
"  essence "  of  Christ's  flesh  and  blood  ;  but  as  no 
change  appreciable  to  the  senses  can  be  recognised 
in  the  "  accidents,"  the  interchange  is  imagined  to 
take  place  between  their  "substances,"  meaning 
what  Plato  called  "the  real1  nature"  of  any- 
thing. It  will  be  shown  hereafter  how  that  fiction 
arose,  and  how  modern  science  proves  that  there 
is  no  evidence  of  the  existence  of  any  "  substance," 
in  the  old  philosophic  sense,  underlying  any  con- 
crete matter  whatever. 

The  position  then  is  this:  (i)  The  whole  of  the 
Jewish  and  heathen  systems  of  objective  sacrifices 
was  abolished  for  ever,  never  to  be  revived.  (2) 
The  Apostles,  in  preaching  "Jesus  Christ  and  Him 
crucified,"  use  what  may  be  called  "  sacrificial  ex- 
pressions," but  solely  in  a  metaphorical  sense ;  for 
they  knew  perfectly  well  that  neither  Jew  nor 

1  Perhaps  this  gave  rise  to  the  expression  "Real  Presence." 
The  meaning  of  "substance,"  i.e.  ovvla,  virforaffis,  and  persona 
will  be  explained  later.

Gentile  could  possibly  misunderstand  them.  A  few 
passages  will  be  quite  sufficient  to  illustrate  this. 

In  writing  to  the  Ephesians  St  Paul  says  :  "  Be 
ye  therefore  imitators  of  God  as  beloved  children ; 
and  walk  in  love,  even  as  Christ  also  loved  you, 
and  gave  himself  up  for  us,1  an  offering  and  a 
sacrifice  to  God  for  an  odour  of  a  sweet  smell."  2 

He  uses  the  same  expression  for  the  material 
self-sacrifices  made  by  the  Philippians  for  Paul's 
sake :  "  I  have  all  things,  and  abound :  I  am 
filled,  having  received  from  Epaphroditus  the 
things  that  came  from  you,  an  odour  of  a 
sweet  smell,  a  sacrifice  acceptable,  well-pleasing 
to  God."3 

St  Paul  thus  applies  the  term  "  sacrifice  "  to  him- 
self: "  If  I  am  offered  upon  the  sacrifice  and  service 
of  your  faith,  I  joy  and  rejoice  with  you  all."  4  And 
so  he  bids  the  Romans :  "  I  beseech  you  therefore, 
brethren,  by  the  mercies  of  God,  to  present  your 
bodies  a  living  sacrifice,  holy,  acceptable  to  God."  5 

There  is  no  need  to  multiply  passages :  they  all 
breathe  the  same  spirit  of  self-sacrifice.

forty  times  in  the  Old  Testament  in  reference  to  the  sacrifices.

THE   SACRIFICE   OF   OUR   LORD     13 

What  is  the  "sweet  savour"  well-pleasing  to 
God? 

The  origin  of  the  expression  is  obvious.  It  was 
supposed  to  appease  the  Deity.  Thus  it  is  said 
of  Noah's  sacrifice,  "  The  Lord  smelled  the  sweet 
savour."1  In  the  polytheistic  Assyrian  flood  story, 
the  corresponding  passage  is  :  "  The  gods  gathered 
at  the  smell,  yea,  the  gods  gathered  at  the  savour, 
like  flies  they  gathered  at  the  sacrifice." 

The  "sweet  savour"  of  our  Lord's  death  was 
therefore  a  metaphorical  expression  to  indicate 
His  voluntary  surrendering  Himself,  rather  than 
use  force  as  He  indeed  told  Pilate.2  He  re- 
pudiated all  idea  of  employing  force  to  establish 
His  kingdom  at  the  beginning  of  His  ministry  when 
undergoing  the  temptation  in  the  wilderness ; 
and  He  would  not  use  it  to  save  Himself  from 
death  at  the  close. 

The  conclusion  is  now  clear  that  the  Greek 
words  Ovaria  and  7rpoV0o/oa  for  "sacrifice"  and 
"offering,"  can  only  be  used  in  the  metaphorical 
sense  for  self-sacrifice,  all  concrete  and  materialistic 
ideas  being  totally  wanting  ;  and  wherever  such  are 
included,  as  in  transubstantiation  or  the  "  Real 

1  Gen.  viii.  21.  2  Matt.  xxvi.  53. 


14  THE   VULGATE 

Presence,"  as  it  is  called,  there  is  not  a  line  or  a 
word  in  the  New  Testament  to  support  it. 

Though  all  heathen  sacrifices  of  old  had  for 
their  object  the  appeasement  of  the  deity,  this 
notion,  as  Dr  Westcott  has  so  fully  explained,1  is 
not  only  quite  foreign  to  the  New  Testament,  but 
even  also  to  the  LXX.  It  may  be  observed  that 
such  an  idea  is  totally  opposed  to  the  words  of  St 
Paul :  "  God  was  in  Christ,  reconciling  the  world 
unto  himself,  not  reckoning  unto  them  their 
trespasses."2 

As  forgiveness  was  believed  in  olden  times  to 
require  the  sacrifice  of  some  living  creature,  inas- 
much as  its  death  represented  the  "  death  unto  sin  " 
of  the  offerer,  while  its  blood  (i.e.  the  life)  poured 
on  the  altar  represented  the  sinner's  life  now 
dedicated  to  God ;  so,  this  idea  is  carried  over  to 
Christianity,  but  transformed  into  a  metaphor  only, 
and  is  especially  dwelt  upon  by  the  author  of  the 
Epistle  to  the  Hebrews,  who  well  shows  the  change 
from  the  concrete  to  the  spiritual  in  the  words : 
"  Sacrifices  and  offerings  and  burnt  offerings  and 
sacrifices  for  sin  thou  wouldest  not,  neither  hadst 

1  The  Epistles  of  St  John,  pp.  85  ff. 

2  2  Cor.  v.  19. 


THE   SACRIFICE   OF   OUR   LORD     15 

pleasure  therein.  (But)  Lo,  /  come  to  do  thy  will. 
He  taketh  away  the  first  that  he  may  establish 
the  second."1 

But,  again,  the  very  essence  of  Christ's  sacrifice 
is  expressed  as  surrendering  His  will  to  God's.  It 
is  the  loving  self-sacrifice,  I  repeat,  which  was  the 
sweet  savour. 

Now  our  Liturgy  guards  against  any  materialistic 
view  in  the  words :  "  We  spiritually  eat  the  flesh 
of  Christ  and  drink  His  blood  "  ;  that  is,  we  resolve 
to  surrender  our  will  to  God's.  This  is  expressed 
in  the  words:  "Ye  that  do  truly  and  earnestly 
repent  you  of  your  sins,  and  are  in  love  and  charity 
with  your  neighbours,  and  intend  to  lead  a  new 
life,  following  the  commandments  of  God  and  walk- 
ing from  henceforth  in  his  holy  ways,  etc."  This 
represents  the  "  Christ-life,"  and  that  is  the  result 
of  metaphorically  eating  Christ's  flesh  and  drinking 
His  blood. 

A  point  is  here  worth  noticing,  viz.,  that  writers 
often  use  the  word  "  vicarious  "  as  if  it  implied  any 
suffering  undergone  by  one  person,  or  even  an 
animal,  by  which  another  is  benefited.  This  is 
not  at  all  the  meaning  of  the  word,  which  is  limited 

1  Heb.  x.  8,  9. 


16  THE    VULGATE 

to  the  sense  of  suffering  "instead  of"  another,  and 
not  on  "  behalf  of"  that  other.  Thus,  a  man  may 
get  terribly  burnt  in  rescuing  someone  from  a  fire ; 
but  he  does  not  suffer  "instead  of"  that  other. 
When  Dickens,  in  his  Tale  of  Two  Cities,  represents 
a  man  going  to  the  guillotine  to  save  another's  life, 
he  died  instead  of  the  other.  This  alone  was  a 
vicarious  sacrifice.  A  parson  or  vicar  stands  in 
the  place  of,  or  instead  of,  Christ  when  preaching, 
i.e.  he  represents  Him. 


CHAPTER  III 
OBLATION 

OVERLOOKING  the  spiritual  self-sacrifice,  the 
Church  regarded  the  body  as  constituting  the  chief 
material  of  Christ's  sacrifice  for  man.  This  is 
another  mistake  which  arose  out  of  the  transfer- 
ence of  an  Old  Testament  command  to  the  New ; 
for  it  was  insisted  that  the  sacrifice  of  Christ 
should  be  repeated  daily,  as  it  is  now  regarded  in 
the  Mass.  The  ground  for  this  was  found  in  the 
following  passage,  as  it  occurs  in  the  Rhemes 
translation  from  the  Vulgate :  "  This  is  it  which 
thou  shalt  doe  vpon  the  Altar ;  Two  lambes  of  a 
yeare  old  (c)  euerie  day  continually ;  one  lambe  in 
the  morning,  and  an  other  at  euen,  the  tenth  part 
of  flowre  tempered  with  oile  beaten,  which  shal 
haue  in  measure  to  one  lambe.  And  the  other 
lambe  thou  shalt  offer  at  euen,  according  to  the 

i  2 


i8  THE   VULGATE 

rite  of  the  morning  oblation.  ...  It  is  a  sacrifice 
to  the  Lord,  by  perpetual  oblation  vnto  your 
generations." l 

The  marginal  note  (c)  runs  as  follows  :  "  Diuers 
things  were  offered  at  diuers  times,  and  al  signified 
Christ's  Sacrifice  in  his  Church.  5.  Aug.  lib.  i. 
c.  1 8,  contr.  aduers.  Leg.  et  Prophet^  yet  none  dailie 
but  a  lambe:  more  particularly  signifying  the 
daylie  offering  of  the  lambe  of  God,  and  perpetual 
effect  thereof.  Origen  in  loan,  i." 

In  connection  with  this  there  is  another  mis- 
application in  the  Vulgate,  as  being  a  translation 
of  the  LXX,  itself  being  wrong.  It  will  be  as  well 
to  quote  the  passage  first,  as  given  in  our  R.V. : 

"  Sacrifice  and  offering  thou  wouldest  not, 
But  a  body  didst  thou  prepare  for  me  ; 
In  whole  burnt  offerings  and  sacrifices  for  sin 

thou  hadst  no  pleasure : 
Then  said  I,  Lo,  I  am  come 
(In  the  roll  of  the  book  it  is  written  of  me) 
To  do  Thy  will,  O  God." 2 

But  if  we  turn  to  the  Fortieth  Psalm  in  the 
Hebrew  Bible,  from  which  the  unknown  author  of 

1  Ex.  xxix.  38-42.  2  Heb.  x.  5-7. 


OBLATION  19 

the  Epistle  to  the  Hebrews  is  quoting,  we  find  no 
mention  of  a  "  body "  at  all : 

"  Sacrifice  and  offering  thou  hast  no  delight  in. 

Mine  ears  hast  thou  opened." 

What  this  means  we  understand  from  the  following 
verses,  viz. : 

"  I  delight  to  do  thy  will,  O  my  God  : 
Yea,  thy  law  is  within  my  heart. 
I   have   published   righteousness   in   the   great 

congregation  : 

Lo,  1  will  not  refrain  my  lips, 
O  Lord,  thou  knowest,"  etc. 

It  is  quite  clear  that  David  here  sees  the  useless- 
ness  of  sacrificing  bodies,  but  that  it  is  the  spiritual 
sacrifice  of  doing  God's  will  that  is  the  only  kind 
acceptable  to  Yahweh. 

If  we  now  turn  to  the  LXX,  we  at  once  see  how 
the  words  "  A  body  thou  wilt  fit  for  me "  are 
obviously  inserted : 

"  Sacrifice  and  offering  thou  wiliest  not, 
[But  a  body  thou  wilt  furnish  for  me] 
Holocausts  also  for  sin  thou  askest  not  for." 

In  the  Latin  version  the  translator  has  changed 
the  future  tense  into  the  past :  Hostiam  et  obla- 


20  THE    VULGATE 

tionem  noluiste,  corpus  autem  aptasti  mihi  (A 
victim  and  oblation  thou  hast  not  wished  for,  but 
a  body  hast  thou  fitted  for  me). 

It  will  be  noted  how  the  introduction  of  the 
extra  line  quite  destroys  the  usual  parallelism  in 
the  sentence  of  Hebrew  poetry.1  This  parallelism 
is  well  brought  out  in  Wellhausen's  translation  : — 

"  Sacrifice  and  offering  thou  dost  not  desire, 
Burnt   offering   and   sin-offering   thou   dost  not 

demand. 

Mine  ears  hast  thou  opened 
By   means  of  the   book  of  the   law  prescribed 

to  me ; 

To  do  thy  will,  my  God,  is  my  delight, 
And  in  my  heart  is  thy  law."2 

If  we  now  turn  to  the  Epistle  to  the  Hebrews, 
we  shall  find  the  writer  arguing  from  this  inter- 
calated line  the  theory  of  Christ's  body  being  the 
instrument  of  sacrifice,  by  means  of  which  man  can 
become  sanctified  spiritually,  or  reconciled,  or  put 
"at  one"  with  God.  "He  taketh  away  the  first, 

1  Jerome's  translation  is  said  to  have  been  from  the  Hebrew,  but 
the  above  seems  to  show  that  this  passage  is  from  one  of  the  older 
Latin  versions,  from  the  LXX. 

2  The  Christian  Use  of  the  Psalms,  by  Dr  Cheyne,  p.  131. 


OBLATION  21 

that  he  may  establish  the  second.  By  which  will 
we  have  been  sanctified  through  the  offering  of  the 
body  of  Jesus  Christ  once  for  all." l 

In  the  margin  to  the  Annotations  to  this  chapter 
in  the  Rhemes  Version  we  read :  "  The  old 
Sacrifices  obscurely  shadowed,  but  the  Sacrifice  of 
the  Altar  most  plainly  representeth  the  Sacrifice 
on  the  Crosse."  "  That  Christ  should  haue  a  body 
was  necessarie  for  his  Priesthood  and  Sacrifice." 
"The  body  of  Christ's  is  the  Sacrifice  of  the 
altar." 

The  Annotation  quotes  the  words  "BVT  A 
BODY  THOV  HAST  FITTED  TO  ME"  in 
large  capitals,  to  show  the  basis  of  the  theory  of 
the  daily  sacrifice  of  Christ's  body  in  the  Mass 
at  the  present  day.  Having  shown  how  Scripture 
appeared  to  substantiate  the  necessity  of  a  body, 
and  texts  found  to  declare  such  to  have  been 
prepared  (fitted)  for  the  Messiah,  the  Church 
could  accept  the  words  "This  is  my  body"  as 
corroborating  the  fact,  and  so  reduced  the  sacra- 
ment of  the  Lord's  Supper  to  a  corporeal  or 
carnal  level.  The  following  quotations,  presum- 
ably authenticated  by  the  Roman  Church,  may 

1  Heb.  x.  9,  10. 


22  THE  VULGATE 

be  taken  as  the  grounds  for  believing  in  "  the  Real 
Presence,"  these  words  being  in  the  margin  to  the 
following  "  annotation  "  : — 

" '  This  is  my  body.' l  Although  sense  tel  thee  it 
is  bread,  yet  it  is  the  body,  according  to  his 
wordes,  let  faith  confirme  thee,  judge  not  by 
sense.  After  the  wordes  of  our  Lord  let  no 
doubt  rise  in  thy  mind  (Cyril,  mystag.  4).  Of 
the  veritie  of  flesh  and  bloud  there  is  left  no 
doubt:  by  the  profession  of  our  Lord  him  self, 
and  by  our  faith  it  is  flesh  and  bloud  indeed. 
Is  not  this  truth?  To  them  be  it  vntrue,  which 
deny  IESV  CHRIST  to  be  true  God  (Hilar., 
li.  8,  de  Trinity 

It  will  be  seen  subsequently  that  "to  be" 
is  the  only  verb  used  throughout  the  Bible  to 
mean  "represent"  when  the  subject  and  predi- 
cate are  nouns  referable  to  the  same  thing : 
as,  "  The  white  linen  is  the  righteousness  of 
the  saints."2 

Next,  to  establish  the  "sacrifice  of  the  Mass," 
the  Church  based  it  on  the  three  words  "  which  is 
given "  ;  for  thus  it  is  written :  "  As  the  former 
wordes  make  and  proue  his  body  present,  so  these 

1  Luke  xxii.  19.  2  Rev.  xix.  8. 


OBLATION  23 

wordes  plainely  signifie,  that  it  is  present  as  giuen, 
offered,  or  sacrificed  for  vs :  and  being  vttered  in 
the  present  tence  (quod  datur),  it  signifieth  not 
only  that  it  should  afterward  be  giuen  or  offered 
on  the  Crosse,  but  that  it  was  then  also  in  the 
Sacrament  giuen  and  offered  for  vs.  Whereby  it 
is  inuincibly  proued  that  his  Body  is  present  as 
an  Host  or  Sacrifice :  and  that  the  making  or  con- 
secrating thereof  must  needes  be  Sacrificing.  And 
therefore  the  holy  Fathers  in  this  sense  cal  it  a 
Sacrifice."  Numerous  references  to  the  Fathers 
follow  the  above  ;  while  the  margin  has  in  reference 
to  it :  "  Christ  sacrificed  his  body  and  bloud  in 
Sacrament  at  his  supper." 

It  may  be  pretty  safely  said  that  the  disciples 
saw  nothing  of  all  this  at  the  time ;  and  no  one 
could  or  would  attempt  to  extract  the  above 
meaning  had  they  not  a  theory  of  sacrifice  to 
establish  somehow. 

But  more  is  required.  If  the  sacrifice  of  Christ's 
body  and  blood  has  to  be  offered  in  perpetuity, 
then  authorised  persons  are  required  to  do  it ; 
so  the  Church  seized  upon  the  words  :  " '  Doe  this/ 
In  these  wordes  the  holy  Sacrament  of  Order 
is  instituted,  because  power  and  commission  to 


24  THE   VULGATE 

doe  the  principal  act  and  worke  of  Priesthood, 
is  giuen  to  the  Apostles :  that  is,  to  doe  that  which 
Christ  then  did  concerning  his  body :  which  was, 
to  make  and  offer  his  body  as  a  Sacrifice  for  vs 
and  for  al  that  haue  need  of  Sacrifice,  and  to 
giue  it  to  be  eaten  as  Christes  body  sacri- 
ficed, to  al  faithful.  For  as  the  Paschal  lambe 
was  first  sacrificed,  and  then  eaten;  so  was 
his  body :  and  thus  to  doe  he  here  giueth 
commission  and  authoritie  to  the  Apostles,  and 
to  al  Priests  which  be  their  successours  in  this 
matter." 

In  the  margin  by  this  paragraph  we  read  :  "  The 
Apostles  are  made  Priestes,  and  the  Sacrament  of 
holy  Orders  instituted."  Of  course,  the  disciples 
did  not  regard  themselves  as  priests,  but  the 
Rhemes  Version  was  made  hundreds  of  years 
after  bishops,  priests,  and  deacons  had  arisen  in 
the  Church,  which  felt  that  some  support  was 
necessary  from  Scripture. 

Thus  was  it  that  the  word  oblatio  came  to  be 
used  in  the  New  Testament ;  but  "  oblation  "  does 
not  occur  in  our  English  versions.  Oblatio  was 
the  word  applied  to  the  sacrifices  of  the  bodies 
of  animals  in  the  Old  Testament ;  and  as  Christ's 


OBLATION  25 

body  was  considered  necessary,  so  oblatio  was 
applied  to  Him  as  well.  But  our  Church  has  no 
authority  for  either  term  where  in  our  Communion 
Service  it  speaks  of  an  "  oblation  and  satisfaction 
for  the  sins  of  the  whole  world." 


CHAPTER   IV 

PROPITIATION    AND   EXPIATION 

THE  two  terms  mentioned  here  appear  to  have 
arisen  in  the  same  way,  and  apparently  by  a 
reaction  through  the  influence  of  Calvin.  Pro- 
pitiation only  occurs  thrice.1  St  Paul  says, 
"  Whom  God  set  forth  to  be  a  propitiation  "  (R. V.). 
Wiclif  (1380)  translated  it,  "Whom  God  ordayned 
forgiver  by  faith  in  his  blood."  Cranmer  (1539) 
has  "obteyner  of  mercy  thorow  fayth ."  The 
Genevan  has  "  to  be  a  reconciliation,"  etc.  Now 
the  Bishops'  Bible  first  adopted  the  word  "  pro- 
pitiation," and  has,  "Whom  God  hath  set  forth 
to  be  a  propitiation  "  ;  and  adds  the  marginal  in- 
terpretation, "  Which  is  a  pacifying  of  God's  dis- 
pleasure." The  Rhemes,  A.V.  and  R.V.  follow 

J  Rom.  iii.  25  (i\a<rr'fipiov) ;  Vulg.  propitionem ;  I  John  ii.  2  and 
iv.  10  (focKT/irfs). 

26 


PROPITIATION    AND   EXPIATION    27 

suit.  The  verb  (iXda-KearOcu)  only  occurs  twice.1 
Thus  the  publican  says,  "  God  be  merciful  to  me 
a  sinner":  while  in  the  Epistle  to  the  Hebrews 
it  is  "to  make  propitiation  for  the  sins  of  the 
people"  (R.V.);  but  A.V.  had  "to  make  re- 
conciliation." 

The  above  quotations  appear  to  show  that  from 
the  Bishops'  Bible  (1568)  to  the  R.V.  of  to-day 
there  has  been  a  return  towards  the  heathen  con- 
ception of  appeasing  God  in  order  to  reconcile 
Him  to  man;  and  that  the  R.V.  is  even  more 
pronounced  than  the  A.V. 

Dr  Westcott,  however,  has  pointed  out  that  the 
constructions  in  which  these  three  Greek  words 
are  used  "  stand  in  remarkable  contrast  with  the 
classical  and  Hellenic  usage.  They  show  that  the 
Scriptural  conception  of  the  verb  (tXaovce<r0at)  is 
not  that  of  appeasing  one  who  is  angry,  ....  but 
of  altering  the  character  of  that  which  from  with- 
out occasions  a  necessary  alienation,  and  interposes 
an  inevitable  obstacle  to  fellowship."2  In  fact, 
it  is  not  God,  but  man,  so  to  say,  who  is  pro- 
pitiated. Dr  Westcott  shows  that  the  prevailing 

1  Luke  xviii.  13,  and  Heb.  ii.  17. 

2  Epistles  of  St  John,  p.  87. 


28  THE   VULGATE 

construction  of  this  verb  in  the  LXX  nowhere 
permits  the  sense  of  man  appeasing  God  ;  hence  it 
would  seem  that  the  LXX  translators  shrank  from 
regarding  Yahweh  in  the  same  light  as  that  of  a 
heathen  deity,  who  is  supposed  to  be  regularly 
appeased  and  propitiated  by  his  devotees. 

This  reaction  can  be  traced  with  great  probability 
to  Calvin.1  As  propitiatio  is  the  word  used  in  the 
Vulgate  in  all  the  three  passages  referred  to,  "  pro- 
pitation  "  has  passed  into  our  Bibles ;  and  the  idea 
of  Christ's  propitiating  God,  like  that  of  expiation, 
is  thus  traceable  to  the  Vulgate,  and  subsequently 
restored  by  Calvin. 

The  word  expiation  is  of  frequent  occurrence  in 
the  Rhemes  Version,  but  it  does  not  occur  in  the 
A.V.  Atonement  is  given  as  the  corresponding 
word  in  the  Old  Testament,  but  reconciliation  in 
the  New.2  There  would  seem  to  be  no  doubt  that 
the  application  of  this  term  to  Christ  was  a  natural 
result  of  regarding  His  sacrifice  as  material ;  for 
the  word  expiation  keeps  up  the  idea  of  a  bodily 
sacrifice  required  for  appeasing  the  Deity.

PROPITIATION   AND    EXPIATION       29 

In  a  work  on  The  Design  of  Christianity,  by  G. 
Fowler  (1671),  the  author  writes:  "As  the  death 
of  Christ  was  likewise  a  Sacrifice  for  sin,  it  was  in 
an  Eminent  manner  effectual  to  this  great  purpose. 
In  the  death  of  Christ,  considered  as  an  Expiatory 
and  Propitiatory  Sacrifice,  is  the  offence  that  God 
Almighty  hath  taken  against  sin,  and  the  hatred 
He  bears  to  it,  as  well  as  His  love  to  us  sinners 
infinitely  declared  ;  in  that  He  would  not  forgive 
it  to  us  without  the  intervention  of  no  meaner  an 
offering  than  the  Blood  of  His  Onely-Begotten 
Son." 

Where  our  Bible  has  to  "  atone "  in  the  Old 
Testament,  the  Vulgate  has  expiare,  placare,  pro- 
pitiare,  deprecari,  rogare,  orare,  etc. ;  but  expiare  is 
by  far  the  most  usual  term  ;  so  that  although 
reconciliatio  is  the  true  and  only  equivalent  of 
at-one-ment,  we  see  that  the  Vulgate  is  after  all 
largely  responsible  for  the  modern  meaning  of 
atonement,  through  the  intervention  of  Calvin,  as 
a  synonym  for  expiation. 


CHAPTER  V 

SATISFACTION 

THIS  word  only  occurs  twice  in  the  A.V.,  and  is 
replaced  by  "  ransom "  in  R.V.  The  LXX  has 
\vrpov.  Satisfactio  is  one  of  the  few  ecclesiastical 
terms  which  does  not  occur  in  the  Vulgate,  for 
there  is  no  Greek  word  equivalent  to  it.  In  the 
INDEX  BIBLICUS  the  reader  is  referred  to  pceni- 
tentia.  The  classic  usage  of  satisfacere  was  "to 
make  amends " ;  as  when  one  confesses  his  fault 
by  which  another  is  injured,  and  asks  forgiveness 
of  him.  Such  was  exactly  the  position  of  the 
Prodigal  Son,  who  instantly  receives  forgiveness 
in  full. 

The  early  Church  used  the  word  in  the  same 
sense,  as  applied  to  repentance  towards  God ;  but 
unfortunately  introduced  the  idea  of  appeasing 
Him.  "  They  held  that  God  being  offended  and 

30 


SATISFACTION  31 

angered  by  our  sins  was,  first  by  confession,  then 
by  tears,  by  sorrow,  and  by  penitence,  to  be 
satisfied  ;  i.e.  that  His  wrath  was  in  this  way  to 
be  appeased  and  deprecated."1  So,  too,  St 
Cyprian  says :  "  Hold  fast  humility  and  make 
amends  (satisfacere)  to  the  Lord."2 

It  must  be  noted  that  there  was  no  idea  of 
anything  punitive  or  of  payment  to  Divine  justice. 
This  was  a  later  addition,  when  the  word  satisfac- 
tion came  to  be  transferred  to  Christ.  Perhaps  we 
may  see  the  germ  of  this  in  St  Cyprian's  words : 
"  If  He  laboured  and  watched  and  prayed  for  us 
and  our  offences,  how  much  more  ought  we  to  be 
earnest  in  prayer,  and  first  pray  the  Lord  Him- 
self, and  then  through  Him  make  amends  to  the 
Father."3  In  St  Cyprian's  view,  satisfaction  and 
prayer  were  each  equivalent  to  repentance.  The 
only  thing  he  recognised  as  appeasing  God  was 
alms-deeds,  but  not  lying  in  sackcloth  and  ashes, 
nor  fasting,  etc. 

As  a  third  part  of  penitence,  satisfaction  came 


1  Quoted  from   Heraldus  (Disr.    ii.    4)  in  note    K,    Tertullian 
(Library  of  the  Fathers,  p.  371).

3  Ep.  xi.  (8),  quoted  in  loc.  cit. ,  p.  372. 


32  THE   VULGATE 

to  stand  for  more  severe  courses.  Thus  St  Augus- 
tine says:  "The  third  sort  of  penitence  is  that 
to  be  undergone  for  the  sins  contained  in  the 
Decalogue,  of  which  the  Apostle  says, '  They  who 
do  such  things  shall  not  inherit  the  kingdom  of 
God.'  In  this  penitence,  then,  every  one  ought  to 
exercise  on  himself  a  greater  severity,  that,  judged 
by  himself,  he  be  not  judged  of  the  Lord,"1 

We  can  thus  trace  the  progress  of  the  word 
from  its  primary  meaning  of  repentance,  as  when 
St  John  Baptist  preached  the  baptism  of  repent- 
ance for  the  remission  of  sins ;  and  as  he  was 
followed  by  St  Peter,  who  said :  "  Repent  ye  and 
be  baptized  every  one  of  you,  in  the  name  of 
Jesus  Christ,  unto  the  remission  of  sins."2  This 
free  forgiveness  following  upon  sincere  repentance 
suggested  St  Paul's  calling  it  the  "Gospel  of 
Grace."  There  would  be  no  "  grace  "  at  all  if  the 
"legal  satisfaction"  of  a  vicarious  sacrifice  were 
demanded.  Christ  said  nothing  about  such  in 
His  last  instructions  to  His  disciples:  "Thus  it 
is  written  that  the  Christ  should  suffer,  and  rise 
again  from  the  dead  the  third  day;  and  that 

1  Serm.  351,  c.  4,  quoted  be.  fit.,  p.  376 
Acts  ii.  38. 


SATISFACTION  33 

repentance  and  remission  of  sins  should  be 
preached  in  his  name  [not  blood]  unto  all  the 
nations." 1 

Repentance,  therefore,  being  all  that  was 
required,  was  identical  with  satisfaction  or  "  mak- 
ing amends " ;  but  in  the  third  century  we  found 
that  satisfaction  passed  over  into  penance  and 
became  the  third  part  of  it  (contrition,  confession 
and  satisfaction).  We  here  see  how  the  grace  of 
forgiveness  by  God  is  being  overriden  by  ecclesi- 
astical interference,  till  a  vicious  system  was  estab- 
lished of  escaping  the  being  obliged  to  undergo 
severe  treatment  as  ordered  by  the  Church,  who 
fixed  the  penances,  by  the  payment  of  money. 

We  now  pass  on  to  the  time,  probably  impossible 
to  be  actually  fixed,  when  satisfaction  passed  from 
the  penitent  to  our  Lord  Himself.  At  all  events, 
the  idea  became  crystallised,  so  to  say,  by  Anselm 
in  the  eleventh  century  in  his  Cur  Deus  Homo. 
He  thus  wrote:  A.  "It  is  plain  that  God  demands 
proportionate  satisfaction."  B.  "  I  cannot  deny  it"  2 
Again:  A.  "Thus  it  is  needful  that  He  should 
complete  what  He  designed  in  human  nature; 
but,  as  we  said  before,  He  cannot  do  this  except 

Luke  xxiv.  46.  47.  *  Lib.  i.  21. 

3 


34  THE  VULGATE 

through  an  entire  satisfaction  for  sin,  which  no 
sinner  can  make."1  Lastly:  A.  "God  alone  can 
make  this  satisfaction."  2 

It  is  true  as  stated,  that  the  actual  word  satis- 
factio  does  not  occur  in  the  Vulgate  New  Testa- 
ment ;  but  it  is  a  natural  sequence  or  development 
of  pcenitentia,  penance;  the  Latin  word  being  a 
totally  erroneous  rendering  of  /xerayota,  as  will  be 
explained  below.  In  demanding  acts  of  penance 
and  satisfaction  of  penitents,  and  still  more  in 
applying  the  term  satisfaction  to  Christ,  the 
Church  was  in  fact  in  direct  opposition  to  the 
Vulgate,  for  the  Latin  equivalent  to  our  English 
"And  their  sins  and  their  iniquities  will  I 
remember  no  more.  Now  where  remission  of 
these  is,  there  is  no  more  offering  for  sin"  is  as 
follows  :  Et  peccatorum,  et  iniquitatum  eorum  jam 
non  recordabor  amplius.  Ubi  autem  horum  remissio  : 
jam  non  est  oblatio  pro  peccato."  3  But  the  Church 
has  regarded  the  oblatio  as  implying  satisfactio. 

It  will  thus  be  seen  that  not  only  is  there  no 
Scriptural  warrant  for  the  use  of  the  word  "  satis- 
faction" in  our  Communion  Office,  in  the  prayer 

1  Lib.  ii.  4.  2  Lib.  ii.  6. 

3  Heb.  x.  17,  18. 


SATISFACTION  35 

of  consecration  of  the  elements ;  but  the  Church 
has  simply  taken  it  from  Anselm,  who  declared : 
"  Hold  thou  most  firmly,  that  without  satisfaction 
— that  is,  without  the  spontaneous  payment  of  the 
debt — neither  can  God  release  the  sinner  un- 
punished, nor  the  sinner  attain  to  such  bliss  as  he 
enjoyed  before  his  sin  ;  not  in  that  way  could  man 
be  restored  to  what  he  was  before  sinning. " l 

Anselm  completely  overlooked  the  fact  that  Jesus 
Christ  never  asked  for  more  than  faith  and  repent- 
ance, to  which  forgiveness  follows  as  a  natural 
result,  without  punishment,  penance,  or  satisfaction 
of  any  kind  whatever. 

Thus  do  we  see  the  far-reaching  result  of  error 
upon  error,  all  starting  from  pcenitentia  of  the 
Vulgate,  upon  which  more  will  have  to  be  said.

CHAPTER  VI 

REDEMPTION 

HAVING  considered  the  terms  applicable  to  the 
process  which  was  supposed  necessary  to  secure 
man's  salvation,  the  first  term  dealing  with  the 
result  is  Redemption. 

Redemption  is  the  usual  word  employed  by 
some  theologians  of  the  seventeenth  century,  who 
less  frequently  speak  of  the  "  atonement "  of  Jesus 
Christ.  Literally  meaning  "to  buy  back,"  the 
Latin  verb  (redimere)  passes  over  to  the  idea  of 
"  rescuing " :  a  meaning  in  the  Bible,  as  in  the 
sentence  "  God  redeemed  Israel  from  Egypt,"  and 
the  Jews  from  Babylon  ;  and  again,  as  they  hoped 
Christ  would  from  the  Romans  in  the  first  century 
of  our  era.1 

As  an  example  of  redeeming  property  we  read 

1  See  Luke  i.  68,  and  Acts  i.  6. 
36 


REDEMPTION  37 

that  the  land  shall  be  sold  under  the  condition  of 
redemption.1  As  examples  of  the  meaning  "to 
rescue,"  the  Vulgate  has  redemit  vos  de  domo  servi- 
tutis,  i.e.  "  rescued  you  from  the  house  of  slavery  " ; 2 
from  afflictions ; 3  from  the  loss  of  time.4 

In  the  Christian  sense,  the  word  is,  of  course, 
used  only  metaphorically  and  spiritually.  Thus 
the  Vulgate  has  nos  redimeret  ab  omni  iniquitati, 
reproduced  in  our  Bible  as  "  might  redeem  us  from 
all  iniquity."5  Similarly  the  verb  is  applied  to 
temptations,6  to  sin,7  to  the  curse  of  the  law.8 

The  Greek  words  translated  by  redimere  are 
( l)\vrpovv, (2)  egayopdfciv and  ayopd^eiv^S) e£aipeiv. 
With  regard  to  the  first,  Yahweh  said  to  Moses,  "  I 
will  redeem  you  with  a  stretched  out  arm."8  The 
third  is  a  common  word  in  the  LXX.  Both  the 
first  and  the  third  occur  in  the  same  verse  (R.  V.) : 
"  For  the  Lord  hath  ransomed  (redemit,  cXvTpuxraro) 
Jacob  and  redeemed  (liberavit,  e^e/Xaro)  him  from 
the  hand  of  him  that  was  stronger  than  he."10

2  Deut.  vii.  8;  cp.  Jer.  xxxiv.  13,  eduxi  eos  de  terra  SEgypti, 
i.e.  "  I  led  them  out  from  the  land  of  Egypt." 

3  Ps.  xxv.  22.  4  Eph.  v.  16  ;  Col.  iv.  5. 

6  Tit.  ii.  14.  8  2  Pet.  ii.  9. 

7  Gal.  iv.  5  ;  Rom.  iii.  24.  8  Gal.  iii.  13. 

9  Ex.  vi.  6.  10  Jer.  xxxi.  II  (38,  LXX). 


38  THE   VULGATE 

In  the  INDEX  BIBLICUS  to  the  Vulgate,1  we 
find  the  general  meaning  of  redimere  expressed  by 
the  sentence — Redimere  novit  Deus  suos  multis 
modis  ex  angustia  (God  knows  how  to  rescue  (or 
extricate)  his  own  people  from  difficulty). 

This  and  the  above  references  will  be  sufficient 
to  show  that  both  the  Greek  and  the  Latin  words 
always  meant  "to  rescue"  when  applied  to 
temporal  foes,  difficulties,  and  even  sins. 

Analogous  to  the  use  of  redimere,  "  to  buy  back," 
is  emere,uto  buy" ;  so  that  "  price  "  is  equally  meta- 
phorical in  such  passages  as  "  Ye  are  bought  with 
a  great  price "  (Empti  enim  estis  pretio  magno)? 

With  regard  to  the  metaphorical  sense  of 
"  redeeming,"  Dr  Westcott  observes  :  "  The  work  of 
Christ  offered  the  perfect  spiritual  antitype  [to  the 
redemption  of  Israel  from  Pharaoh].  This  parallel 
is  of  importance ;  for  it  will  be  obvious  from  the 
usage  of  the  LXX  that  the  idea  of  ransom 
received  by  the  power  from  which  the  captive  is 
delivered  is  practically  lost  in  \vrpovcrOai,  etc.  It 
cannot  be  said  that  God  paid  to  the  Egyptian 
oppressor  any  price  for  the  redemption  of  His 
people.  On  the  other  hand,  the  idea  of  the 

1  1592,  Ed.  1844.  2  i  Cor.  vi.  20,  vii.  23. 


REDEMPTION  39 

exertion  of  a  mighty  force,  the  idea  that  the 
'redemption'  costs  much,  is  everywhere  present."1 
As  "  redemption  "  in  its  primary  signification  is  a 
"  price  paid,"  so  this  imagery  is  seen  in  the  use  of 
the  word  ayopafav,  "  to  buy  in  the  market." 

Another  unfortunate  result  of  the  Vulgate's 
inaccuracy  is  in  using  pro,  "  for,"  in  the  place  of 
inrep  and  also  of  aim.  This  error  reappears  in 
English  in  our  Bibles  in  making  no  distinction 
between  the  meanings  of  "  for."  Yet,  whenever  it 
is  said  that  our  Lord  died  "  for  "  man,  the  Greek 
invariably  uses  vwep,  i.e.  "  on  behalf  of" ;  never  aim, 
i.e.  "  instead  of."  By  taking  the  latter  meaning,  the 
doctrine  of  "  substitution  "  has  been  erected  on  this 
error. 

As  a  few  examples  of  the  use  and  meaning  of 
aim,  we  read :  "  Will  he  for  a  fish  give  him  a 
serpent. "  2  "  Her  hair  is  given  her  for  a  covering. "  3 
"  For  that  ye  ought  to  say  '  if  the  Lord  will  "  4  (avrl 
TOV  \eyeiv).  "  Esau,  who  for  one  mess  of  meat 
sold  his  own  birthright."  5  "  The  Son  of  man  came 
....  to  give  his  life  a  ransom  for  many."  6

4  Jas.  iv.  15.  5  Heb.  xii.  16. 

5  Matt.  xx.  28.     This  is  the  only  passage  (copied  from  Mk.)  where 


40  THE   VULGATE 

On  the  other  hand,  in  the  sentence  "  This  is  my 
body  which  is  given  for  you," l  and  in  all,  some 
twenty-six,  passages  where  our  Lord  is  spoken  of 
as  dying  or  suffering  for  man,  the  preposition  is 
invariably  v-Trep,  i.e.  "on  behalf  of"  man. 

It  is  obvious  that  it  becomes  a  question  of  vital 
importance  to  note  this  fact  in  any  consideration 
of  what  "  atonement "  or  "  redemption  "  means  with 
regard  to  Christ,  as  it  destroys  at  once  all  ground 
for  the  idea  of  "  substitution,"  or  that  Christ  died 
"  instead  of"  man. 

When  we  study  the  usage  of  these  two  pre- 
positions, we  find  that  each  can  bear  the  meaning 
of  the  other,  but  such  usage  is  very  exceptional. 
If  any  act  is  done  by  one  person  instead  of  its 
being  done  by  another,  it  is  of  course  on  behalf  of 
him  as  well,  and  vice  versa.  But  taking  the  general 
meanings  and  omitting  exceptional  usages,  avri 
always  signifies  one  thing  and  virep  another. 
Hence  Trench,  believing  in  the  theory  of  "  substi- 
tution," observes : 2  "  It  must  be  admitted  .  .  .  that, 
had  we  in  the  Scripture  only  statements  to  the 

avrl  is  used  with  reference  to  our  Lord.     St  Paul  alters  it  to  ayri- 
\vrpov  virep  ir<ivT<av  (l  Tim.  ii.  6). 

1  Luke  xxii.  19.  2  New  Test.  Synonyms,  312. 


REDEMPTION  41 

effect  that  Christ  died  virep  fawv — that  he  tasted 
death  virep  TTOLVTOS — it  would  be  impossible  to  draw 
from  these  any  irrefragable  proof  that  His  death 
was  vicarious."  But  it  is  said  that  the  one  ex- 
ceptional case  referred  to  above l  proves  that  His 
death  was  vicarious,2  and  therefore  all  the  twenty- 
six  places  where  virep  is  used  must  yield  to  that 
meaning  of  "instead  of"  or  substitution. 

Let  us  observe,  however,  that  in  the  single 
passage  where  avrl  occurs  in  reference  to  our 
Lord's  death,  it  is  associated  with  the  word  XJr/ooi/, 
"a  price,"  and  therefore  the  value  of  avri  turns 
upon  the  real  signification  of  this  word.  It  is  a 
word  which  troubled  early  interpreters,  or  rather, 
the  readers  of  the  Vulgate.3 

The  question  arose  from  the  meaning  of  redemp- 
tio,  "  a  buying  back,"  viz.,  To  whom  was  the  "  price  " 
(pretium]  paid?  As  man  was  regarded  as  being 
in  the  power  of  Satan,  therefore  for  centuries  it 
was  supposed  that  the  price  of  Christ's  blood  was 
paid  to  him.  Later,  Satan  was  in  theory  replaced 

1  Matt.  xx.  28. 

2  See  above  on  a  mistaken  idea  as  to  the  meaning  of  vicarious 
(p.  15).

42  THE   VULGATE 

by  God  the  Father,  whose  justice  was  satisfied  by 
this  terrible  price.  It  has  now  come  to  be  seen 
that  there  was  no  actual  price  paid  at  all,  and 
that  there  was  no  one  to  receive  it.  Instead  of 
translating  \vrpov  by  redemptio,  as  representing, 
as  it  were,  an  actual  concrete  price,  the  metaphori- 
cal meaning  is  now  regarded  as  being  the  only 
true  one,  in  that  it  was  Christ's  own  sufferings 
which  were  "  the  price  He  had  to  pay  "  for  saving 
man  from  his  sins,  as  Dr  Westcott  has  so  well 
explained.  Suppose  a  man  (as  has  been  suggested 
as  explaining  the  word  vicarious)  nobly  risks  his 
life  to  save  that  of  some  one  who  may  be  quite 
unknown  to  him,  from  a  house  on  fire.  He  gets 
terribly  burned,  but  succeeds  in  rescuing  the 
man.  We  say  he  did  a  noble,  self-sacrificing  act, 
but  he  "  paid  a  heavy  price  "  in  doing  it ;  meaning, 
of  course,  his  personal  injuries.  It  is  thus,  too, 
that  Christ  would  save  the  sinner  from  his  own 
sinful  life;  and  by  His  gracious  self-sacrifice  in 
submitting  to  the  death  upon  the  cross  He 
attracted  the  admiration  and  love  of  sinful  man, 
who  surrenders  himself  to  Him.  Thus  did  Christ 
pay  the  \vrpov  in  His  own  sufferings.  The  meta- 
phor is  based  upon  the  .expression  "  the  Lord 


REDEMPTION  43 

redeemed  His  people  Israel,"  i.e.  from  Pharaoh  in 
Egypt ;  but  it  will  be  at  once  seen,  as  Dr  Westcott 
points  out,  that  there  was  no  payment  to  be  made 
to  anyone,  and  that  "  redeemed  "  really  signifies 
"rescued."  Man's  redemption  from  sin,  therefore, 
is  the  same  thing  as  the  giving  up  a  sinful  life ; 
such  is  his  "salvation,"  to  be  worked  out  by  a 
man  himself. 

Now  it  may  be  noticed  that  in  using  the  word 
\vrpov  the  preposition  aim  is  quite  compatible  ; 
because,  since  the  wages  of  sin  are  suffering  and 
death,  and  since  Christ  came  to  suffer  inrep  iravros, 
"on  behalf  of "  everyone,  He  did  pay  the  price  which 
man  would  undoubtedly  have  had  to  bear  as  a 
sinner,  though  of  course  in  a  totally  different 
way ;  but  this  is  not  what  the  dogma  of  substitution 
means.  Christ  not  only  "  saves  men  from  their 
sins,"  but  by  forgiveness  they  are  exempt  from  the 
price  too.  'Ayr/,  therefore,  is  a  quite  legitimate 
preposition  in  conjunction  with  \vrpov ;  but  it  is 
obvious,  from  the  otherwise  universal  use  of  virep 
in  connection  with  Christ's  mission  and  death,  that 
"on  behalf  of "  man  and  not  "  instead  of "  is  the 
true  reading  of  Christ's  self-sacrifice  for  us  all. 

The  conception  of  a  vicarious  sacrificial  act  to 


44  THE   VULGATE 

appease  God  has  therefore  no  place  whatever  in 
the  transaction.  He  did  not  die  to  satisfy  God's 
justice,  but  to  win  men  to  heaven  by  drawing  all 
men  unto  Himself  on  being  "  lifted  up "  on  the 
cross.  The  former  idea  was  based  on  the  false 
notion  that  all  men  being  sinners  must  be  punished 
for  their  sins,  as  was  so  strongly  emphasised  by 
Anselm  in  his  Cur  Deus  Homo.  But  the  New 
Testament  doctrine  is  that,  if  a  man  truly  repent, 
i.e.  ''change  his  mind  and  disposition,"  as  the  Greek 
word  /uLcrdvoia  signifies  —  even  if  it  be  seventy 
times  seven — he  is  at  once  forgiven  without  any 
punishment  at  all ;  and  such  is  God's  grace  to  man 
through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

St  Paul,  in  referring  to  the  single  passage  (for 
Matthew  only  quotes  St  Mark  verbatim x)  coins  the 
word  avriXvTpov2  and  then  supplies  the  preposition 
uTrep,  as  if  he  himself  felt  that  there  might  be  a 
possible  misconception  in  the  phrase.

CHAPTER   VII 

THE   ATONEMENT 

THE  most  important  passage  upon  which  the 
doctrine  of  the  Atonement  was  most  probably 
based,  is  in  the  Epistle  to  the  Romans.1  But 
St  Paul,  as  A.  Sabatier  observes,  was  "a  disciple 
of  Gamaliel  before  he  became  a  follower  of  Christ, 
and  borrowed  this  fine  oratorical  amplification  from 
Rabbinical  speculation."  2 

The  actual  facts,  however,  concerning  the  "  one 
man "  Adam  are  imaginary.  St  Paul  is  en- 
deavouring to  draw  out  a  parallel  between  physical 
together  with  moral  death,  which  he  regards  as 
having  been  brought  into  the  world  through  the 
guilt  of  Adam,  and  their  opposite,  viz.  spiritual 
life,  a  free  gift  of  Christ  to  mankind.  We  may

46  THE   VULGATE 

accept  in  a  general  way  the  conclusion  of  his 
argument,  though  some  materials  of  his  logic 
may  be  incorrect.  There  is  no  want  of  evidence 
to  show  that  man  has  gone  astray,  but  it  was  not 
an  inevitable  consequence  of  any  so-called  original 
sin  derived  from  Adam  and  Eve.  Such  appears 
to  have  been  the  origin  of  the  doctrine  of  the 
Atonement  which  lies  at  the  foundation  of  the, 
so-called,  covenant  of  grace. 

The  word  atonement  only  occurs  in  the  New 
Testament  once,  in  A.V.,1  but  this  has  been  re- 
placed by  "  reconciliation  "  in  R. V.  The  Greek 
word  is  KardXXayri,  which  is  rightly  translated 
reconciliatio  in  the  Vulgate.  So,  too,  in  writing 
to  the  Corinthians  St  Paul  says :  "  All  things  are 
of  God,  who  reconciled  us  to  himself  through 
Christ,  and  gave  unto  us  the  ministry  of  reconcilia- 
tion ;  to  wit,  that  God  was  in  Christ  reconciling 
the  world  unto  himself,  not  reckoning  unto  them 
their  trespasses,  and  having  committed  unto  us 
the  word  of  reconciliation."2  The  earlier  trans- 
lators of  the  Bible  in  the  sixteenth  century  used 
the  words  "  attonement "  and  "  reconciliation  "  as 

1  Rom.  v.  II. 

2  2  Cor.  v.  1 8,  19.     See  also  Eph.  ii.  14-16. 


THE   ATONEMENT  47 

synonyms  in  the  primitive  sense — as  used  often 
by  Shakespeare  —  of  "at-one-ment."  To  atone 
meant  to  put  two  who  had  quarrelled  "at  one." 
But  the  Rhemes  Version,  following  the  common 
use  of  expiatio  in  the  Vulgate,  has  generally 
"expiation"  where  the  R.V.  has  "atonement." 

Though  the  change,  as  will  be  seen,  was  prob- 
ably due  to  Calvin  in  the  middle  of  the  sixteenth 
century,  the  meaning  of  reconciliation  was  still 
held  in  the  seventeenth.  Thus,  in  A  Learned 
and  Excellent  Treatise,  containing  all  the  Principal 
Grounds  of  Christian  Religion,  by  Stephen  Egerton 
(1609),  the  author  uses  the  word  "  attonement " 
in  the  original  sense :  "  Wherein  it  is  to  be 
marked  how  neere  an  attonement  God  hath 
entred  into  with  us,  by  Christ." x  "  It  is  a 
spiritual  bond :  by  the  which  men  in  a  holy 
attonement  are  united  to  God."2 

In  The  Whole  Duty  of  Man  (1657)  and  in 
The  Design  of  Christianity,  by  G.  Fowler  (1671), 
we  find  that  Christ's  expiatory  and  propitiatory 
sacrifice  has  become  a  recognised  belief.3

quotations,  etc.  (Williams  &  Norgate,  is.) 


48  THE   VULGATE 

In  order  to  show  how  "  atonement,"  i.e.  as  at- 
one-ment  or  reconciliation,  changed  its  meaning, 
the  following  passage  will  suffice.  In  Tavener's 
edition  (1551)  of  Tyndale's  version  (of  1526)  we 
read :  "  Thou  shalt  offre  euery  daye  an  oxe  for  a 
syn  offrynge  to  reconcyle  with.  And  thou  shalt 
halow  the  alter,  when  thou  reconcylest  it,  and  shalt 
annoint  it,  to  sanctifie  it.  Seuen  daies  thou  shalt 
reconcyle  the  alter,  and  sanctifie  it,  that  it  maye  be 
an  alter  most  holye :  so  that  no  man  may  touche  it, 
but  they  that  be  consecrate."1 

In  the  Genevan  Bible  (1560)  we  read:  "Thou 
shalt  offer  euery  day  a  calfe  for  a  sinne  offering, 
for  reconciliation-,  and  thou  shalt  dense  the  altar 
when  thou  hast  offered  vpon  it  for  reconciliation, 
and  shalt  anoint  it  to  sancifie  it.  Seuen  dayes 
shalt  thou  dense  the  altar  and  sanctifie  it,  so  the 
altar  shall  be  most  holy,  and  whatsoeuer  toucheth 
the  altar,  shal  be  holy." 

Here  the  changes  are  verbal,  as  to  spelling,  etc. ; 
but  in  the  margin  we  read,  in  explanation  of  the 
word  "reconciliation":  "To  appease  God's  wrath 
that  sinne  may  be  pardoned." 

In  the    Bishops'    Bible  (1568)  the   above  is  re- 

1  Ex.  xxix.  36,  37. 


THE   ATONEMENT  49 

peated  with  one  important  alteration :  "  Thou 
shalt  dense  the  altar  when  thou  hast  offered  upon 
it  the  sacrifice  of  expiation?  The  margin  has  also 
the  above  explanation  from  the  Genevan  Version. 
Who  was  responsible  for  the  above-quoted 
marginal  note?  As  Calvin  was  mainly  instru- 
mental in  securing  a  hospitable  reception  for  the 
English  divines  who  fled  to  Geneva  during  the 
persecution  of  Mary's  reign,  we  read  in  the  History 
of  the  Troubles  of  which  Whittingham  was  probably 
the  author :  "  There  is  nothinge  more  requisite  to 
attaine  the  right  and  absolute  knowledge  off  the 
doctrine  of  saluation,  whereby  to  resist  all  heresie 
and  falshod,  than  to  haue  the  texte  off  the 
Scriptures  faithfully  and  truly  translated,  the 
consideration  whereoff  moued  them  with  one 
assent  to  requeste  2  off  their  brethern,  to  witt, 
Calvin  and  Beza,  essonnes  to  peruse  the  same 
notwithstandinge  their  former  trauells."1 

In  the  Rhemes  Version  (1609)  we  read:  "Thou 
shalt  offer  a  calfe  for  sinne  euery  day  for  expiation. 
And  thou  shalt  cleanse  the  Altar  when  thou  hast 
offered  the  hoste  of  expiation^  and  shalt  anoynt 
it  vnto  sanctification.  Seuen  dayes  shalt  thou 

1  Quoted  by  Mombert,  English  Versions  of  the  Bible ,  p.  249. 

4 


50  THE   VULGATE 

expiate  the  altar  and  sanctifie  it,  and  it  shall  be 
most  Holie,  euerie  one,  that  shal  touch  it,  shal  be 
sanctified." 

Lastly,  the  A.V.  and  R.V.  read  as  follows: 
"  Every  day  shalt  thou  offer  the  bullock  of  sin 
offering  for  atonement :  and  thou  shalt  cleanse  the 
altar,  when  thou  makest  atonement  for  it ;  and  thou 
shalt  anoint  it,  to  sanctify  it.  Seven  days  thou 
shalt  make  atonement  for  the  altar,  and  sanctify 
it,"  etc. 

It  will  be  sufficient  to  quote  the  following 
passages  from  Calvin's  Institution  of  the  Christian 
Religion  to  show  that  in  all  probability  he  was 
mainly  responsible  for  substituting  the  meaning  of 
"  expiation  "  for  "  reconciliation  "  or  "  atonement," 
i.e.  at-one-ment : — 

"  No  man,  sith  mankinde  is  in  this  ruine,  can 
perceiue  God  to  be  eyther  a  father  or  author  of 
saluation,  or  in  any  wise  fauourable,  vnles  Christ 
come  as  a  meane  to  pacifie  him  towarde  us  .... 
to  embrace  the  grace  of  reconciliation  offered  vs  in 
Christ."1 

"  Christes  death  had  bin  to  no  effect,  if  he  had 
suffred  only  a  corporal  death  :  but  it  behoued  also 

1  Book  i.  ch.  2,  §  i. 


THE    ATONEMENT  51 

that  he  should  feele  the  rigor  of  Gods  vengeance  : 
that  he  might  both  appease  his  wrath  and  satisfie 
his  just  judgement" l 

"  It  pleased  God  by  him  to  reconcile  all  things 
to  himselfe,  appeasing  himselfe  through  the  bloud 
of  the  Crosse  by  him."2 

Explaining  St  Paul's  words :  "  We  rejoice  in 
God  through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  through  whom 
we  have  now  received  the  reconciliation  "  (R.V.),3 
Calvin  has :  "  As  Paul  witnesseth,  we  are  reconciled 
and  have  receiued  reconciliation  by  his  death. 
But  reconciliation  hath  no  place,  but  where  there 
went  offence  before.  Therefore  the  meaning  is 
that  God,  to  whom  we  were  hatefull  by  reason  of 
sinne,  is  by  the  death  of  his  sonne  appeased,  so 
that  he  might  be  fauourable  vnto  us."4 

A  remarkable  feature  appears  from  the  above, 
in  which  Calvin  has  followed  the  teaching  of 
Anselm  in  his  Cur  Deus  Homo^  in  that  reconcilia- 
tion is  by  means  of,  or  following  on,  punishment ; 
and  as  man  could  not  satisfy  God's  justice,  so 
God  in  Christ  came  to  satisfy  Himself! 

1  Book  ii.  ch.  16,  §  10.  2  Book  ii.  ch.  17,  §  2. 

3  A.V.   has   "the  atonement."    This   was  still  a   synonym  for 
reconciliation  in  1611. 

4  Book  ii.  ch.  17,  §  3. 


52  THE   VULGATE 

But,  as  we  have  seen,  there  is  no  word  in  the 
Greek  New  Testament  for  satisfaction,  nor  is  there 
any  conception  of  punishment  as  applied  to  Christ ; 
consequently  Calvin  has  added  to  the  word  for 
"  reconciliation  "  the  notion  of  "  expiation  "  ;  so 
that  at  last  "  expiation "  came  to  be  a  synonym 
for  "  atonement " ;  or  rather,  at-one-ment  came 
to  mean  "vicarious  expiation."  Although  Calvin 
says,  "  It  pleased  God  by  him  to  reconcile  all 
things  to  himselfe,  appeasing  himselfe  through  the 
bloud  of  the  Crosse  by  him.  .  .  .  Againe,  God 
was  in  Christ,  reconciling  the  world  to  himselfe, 
not  imputing  to  men  their  sinnes  " l ;  yet  he  fails 
to  see  how  the  last  words  imply  complete  forgive- 
ness on  repentance,  without  any  appeasement 
whatever.  Consequently  the  whole  theory  of  a 
necessary  punishment  falls  to  the  ground,  having 
arisen  out  of  the  word  pcenitentia  wrongly  used  to 
represent  yueraj/ota. 

The  question  now  arises,  What  was  the  means 
by  which  Christ  is  supposed  to  have  made  this 
appeasing  sacrifice?  Was  it  spiritual  or  carnal? 
As  the  Church  supported  its  views  of  Christ,  and 
more  especially  of  His  death,  by  the  Old  Testa- 

1  Op.  cit.,  book  ii.  ch.  17, [§  2. 


THE   ATONEMENT  53 

ment,  it  has  been  seen  that  great  stress  was  laid 
upon  the  necessity  of  His  having  a  body  which 
could  suffer ;  and  so  the  whole  conception  of  salva- 
tion was  based  on  a  purely  carnal  or  corporeal 
offering,  comparable,  but  not  identical  with  that  of 
bulls,  goats,  and  especially  lambs.1 

Attempts  are  sometimes  still  made  to  combine 
the  two  ideas  of  a  "  vicarious  sacrifice "  with 
"  reconciliation "  in  the  one  word  "  atonement." 
The  writer  from  whose  book  the  following  is 
quoted  thus,  perhaps  unconsciously,  is  following 
Calvin : — 

"  Atonement,  as  commonly  used,  signifies  the 
result  of  Christ's  atonement,  i.e.  reconciliation,  or 
the  making  man  at-one  with  God  ;  though  strictly 
it  denotes  the  means  whereby  man  is  reconciled  to 
God  through  Christ,  who  has  made  an  atonement, 
an  amends,  to  God  for  us."2 

This  author  does  not  seem  aware  that  "atone- 
ment "  had  no  other  meaning  whatever  than  "  at- 
one-ment,"  i.e.  "  reconciliation,"  in  the  sixteenth 
century.

CHAPTER  VIII 

SAVIOUR   AND  THE   EUCHARIST 

WE  have  now  arrived  at  the  goal,  the  end  and  aim 
of  our  Lord's  life  and  death  upon  the  cross; 
namely,  the  salvation  of  man.  Hence  our  Lord  is 
called  our  Saviour.  We  were  told  at  His  birth  that 
"he  shall  be  called  Jesus,  for  he  shall  save  his 
people  from  their  sins." x  Popular  theology,  how- 
ever, has  long  supposed  Him  to  save  man  from 
hell.  What,  then,  is  the  true  meaning  of  "Saviour" 
as  applied  to  Christ?  Here,  again,  we  shall  see 
that  the  Church  has  gone  wrong  by  transferring 
the  Old  Testament  signification  to  the  New. 

The  Hebrew  word  for  "to  save"  is  yasha,  i.e. 
"  to  give  safety  "  or  "  ease."  The  great  occasion 
of  its  uses  was  when  the  Lord  Yahweh  "  saved," 
i.e.  rescued,  the  Israelites  fiom  the  hand  of  the 

1  Matt.  i.  21. 
54 


SAVIOUR   AND   THE    EUCHARIST     55 

Egyptians  under  Pharaoh  at  the  Red  Sea.1  This 
was  the  typical  instance,  which  is  described  as  the 
one  when  Yahweh  "redeemed  Israel";  so  that  to 
save  or  redeem  meant  to  "rescue."  2  Subsequently 
Yahweh  was  called  their  Saviour.3 

When  the  Psalmist  said  "  Create  in  me  a  new 
heart,"4  his  inspiration  rose  to  a  greater  height, 
and  he  saw  that  "  saviour  "  might  refer  to  spiritual 
things  as  well  as  external  foes,  etc. 

Now  it  was  the  old  idea  of  saving  from  external 
evils,  as  human  foes,  which  was  carried  over  into 
the  New  Testament  ;  hence  Christ  came  to  be 
regarded  as  a  saviour  from  the  Romans;  so  that 
even  after  His  resurrection  His  disciples  asked : 
"  Lord,  dost  thou  at  this  time  restore  the  kingdom 
to  Israel?"5 

It  was  not  till  after  this  that  the  disciples  learnt 
to  know  Him  as  a  "  Saviour  from  sins,"  that  is 
spiritual,  not  external,  foes.6 

But  the  old  idea  of  saving  from  external  afflictions 
still  prevailed,  and  so  the  Church  came  to  regard 

1  Ex.  xiv.  30.  a  See  Isa.  xliii.  1-3. 

3  Ps.  cvi.  21  ;  Isa.  xliii.  n.  4  Ps.  li.  10. 

5  Acts  i.  6. 

9  May  not  this  be  a  reason  for  inferring  that  the  first  two  chapters 
of  St  Matthew's  gospel  were  later  additions  ? 


56  THE   VULGATE 

"  salvation  "  as  "  safety  from  hell."  This  error  has 
prevailed  to  the  present  day,  whereas  salvation 
from  sin  means,  as  the  Vulgate  indeed  translates  it, 
salus,  i.e.  the  spiritual  health  of  the  soul,  or 
freedom  from  the  disease  of  sin. 

The  Eucharist  (Eucliaristia,  the  Latin  transcript 
of  Evxapurria)  is  a  word  used  by  St  Paul  for  "  the 
giving  of  thanks  "  for  God's  blessings.  The  word 
was  probably  adopted  from  the  institution  itself,  in 
which  our  Lord  "  gave  thanks."  The  Apostle  uses 
it  in  alluding  to  the  speaking  in  unknown  tongues : 
"  How  shall  he  that  filleth  the  place  of  the  un- 
learned say  the  Amen  at  thy  giving  of  thanks  ?  "  1 
Thanksgiving,  however,  was  an  important  part  of 
the  Eucharist  in  the  early  liturgies.  Thus  in  St 
Clement's,  after  detailing  the  sufferings  and  death 
of  Christ,  it  is  said  :  "  Calling  therefore  to  remem- 
brance these  things  which  He  endured  for  our 
sakes,  we  give  thanks  unto  Thee,  O  God  Almighty, 
not  as  we  ought,  but  as  we  are  able,  to  fulfil  His 
institution."  This  is  followed  by  the  usual  prayer 
for  the  Holy  Spirit :  "  Send  down  Thy  Holy  Spirit, 
the  Witness  of  the  sufferings  of  the  Lord  Jesus,  on 
this  sacrifice,  that  He  may  make  the  bread  the 

1  I  Cor.  xiv.  1 6. 


SAVIOUR   AND   THE   EUCHARIST     57 

Body  of  Thy  Christ  and  this  cup  the  Blood  of  Thy 
Christ."  In  this  we  see  transubstantiation  es- 
tablished, and  the  word  Eucharistia  actually 
becomes  identified  with  Christ's  body  ;  for  in  the 
INDEX  BIBLICUS  at  the  end  of  the  Vulgate  there 
is :  Eucharistia  sub  altera  tantum,  nimirum  pants 
specie  ("  The  Eucharist  [is]  without  doubt,  only 
bread  under  another  form "),  and  references  are 
given  to  the  Gospels  and  Acts.1  Again,  Eucharistia 
non  renianet  substantia  panis  post  consecrationem, 
sed  est  verum  Christi  corpus  et  sanguis  ("  The 
Eucharist  does  not  remain  the  substance  of  bread 
after  consecration,  but  is  the  true  body  and  blood 
of  Christ ").  References  for  proofs  are  made  to  the 
four  accounts  of  the  institution.  Lastly,  it  is  said  : 
Eucharistiam  in  publicis  supplicationibus  circumfer- 
endam  esse  pr<z  figurataty,.  This  refers  to  the  Ark 
being  carried  about  on  certain  occasions.  Lastly, 
Eucharistia  adoranda,  the  references  being  to 
certain  psalms  and  to  the  man  born  blind 
"  worshipping  Jesus." 

It  is  quite  clear  that  the  idea  of  transubstantia- 
tion included  under  Eucharistia  was,  from  the 
above,  attributable  to  the  word  is  in  "  This  is 

1  E.g.  John  vi.  58  ;  Luke  xxiv.  30  ;  Acts  ii.  42,  xx.  7. 


58  THE   VULGATE 

my  body."  Indeed,  the  whole  of  the  theories  of 
the  "  Real  Presence"  have  issued  out  of  it.  The 
important  question  is,  What  did  the  disciples  under- 
stand by  it?  What  significance  does  the  word 
"  is "  bear  when  compared  with  other  passages  in 
which  it  occurs  in  a  similar  manner? 

Now  when  we  look  for  what  might  be  called 
parallel  instances,  we  soon  discover  that  it  was 
the  universal  custom  to  use  the  verb  "  to  be," 
where  we  should  adopt  "represent"  or  some 
equivalent  expression.  A  few  examples  will  soon 
prove  this.  In  Joseph's  interpretation  of  the 
dreams  of  the  butler  and  baker  we  read  that  it 
runs  thus :  "  The  three  baskets  are  three  days," 
and  "  the  three  branches  are  three  days."  So,  too, 
"  the  seven  good  kine  are  seven  years,"  etc.  When 
Aaron  made  the  golden  calf  he  said,  "  This  is  thy 
god,  O  Israel."  Ezekiel  said,  "These  bones  are 
the  whole  house  of  Israel." 

Similarly,  in  the  New  Testament  St  John  the 
Baptist  disclaimed  the  idea  that  he  was  Elijah,  i.e. 
in  the  flesh ;  but  Christ  said  that  he  was,  i.e.  as  a 
spiritual  representative  of  that  prophet.  Our  Lord 
repeatedly  used  the  same  form  of  expression,  as 
in  His  interpretation  of  the  parable  of  the  Sower : 


SAVIOUR   AND   THE    EUCHARIST     59 

"  The  good  seed  are  the  children  of  the  kingdom," 
etc.  In  describing  His  own  flesh  and  blood  He 
says  metaphorically,  "  The  bread  which  I  will  give 
is  my  flesh ;  .  .  .  my  flesh  is  meat  indeed,  and  my 
blood  is  drink  indeed,"  alluding  to  the  Jewish 
idea  that  "  the  blood  was  the  life " ;  so  that,  as 
Dr  Westcott  shows,  by  dying  for,  i.e.  on  behalf 
of,  man,  His  blood  was  at  the  disposal  of  all  who 
would  drink  it. 

St  Paul  follows  suit ;  when  he  mentioned  the  old 
tradition  of  the  rock  which  was  believed  to  have 
followed  the  children  of  Israel  and  supplied  them 
with  water  in  the  desert,  he  adds,  "  And  that  Rock 
was  Christ."  Again,  in  alluding  to  the  Eucharist 
he  says,  "  The  bread  which  we  break,  is  it  not  a 
communion  of  the  body  of  Christ  [i.e.  does  not 
the  bread  represent  the  fellowship  abiding  among 
all  Christians  ?],  seeing  that  we  who  are  many  are 
one  bread,  one  body?"  This  tallies  with  the 
instruction  given  in  the  Didache  or  "  The  Teaching 
of  the  Apostles  "  :  "  But  with  regard  to  the  broken 
bread,  '  We  give  thanks  to  Thee,  our  Father,  for 
the  life  and  knowledge  which  Thou  hast  made 
known  to  us  through  Thy  child  Jesus ;  to  Thee  be 
glory  for  ever.  As  this  broken  bread  was  scattered

upon  the  mountains  and  gathered  together  into 
one,  so  let  Thy  Church  be  gathered  together  from 
the  ends  of  the  earth  into  Thy  kingdom,  for  Thine 
is  the  glory  and  the  power  through  Jesus  Christ 
for  ever/" 

These  few  quotations  are  enough  to  prove  that 
the  word  "  is  "  must  have  been  used  and  understood 
to  mean  "  represent."  None  of  the  disciples  could 
possibly  have  supposed  that  a  miracle  was  per- 
formed at  the  Last  Supper  when  Christ  spoke  these 
words.  They  knew  nothing  of  Plato's  "  substance." 

Starting  from  this  mistaken  meaning  of  the 
word  "  is,"  it  became  necessary  to  explain  how 
Christ's  body  and  blood  could  become  identical 
with  the  bread  and  wine.  It  was  in  1551  that 
the  Council  of  Trent  established  the  present  dogma 
of  transubstantiation  and  supplemented  it  by  an 
anathema :  Si  quis  dixerit  in  sacrosancto  euchar- 
isticz  Sacramento  remanere  substantiam  panis  et  vini 
cum  corpore  et  sanguine  Domini  nostri  Jesu  Christi 
....  valde  Anathema  sit  ("  If  anyone  shall  have 
said  that  the  substance  of  bread  and  wine  remain 
in  the  most  holy  sacrament  of  the  Eucharist, 
together  with  the  body  and  blood  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  ....  let  him  be  strongly  accursed  "), 


SAVIOUR    AND    THE    EUCHARIST     61 

The  question  now  arises,  What  is  this  supposed 
"  substance,"  whether  in  bread,  wine,  body,  or 
blood,  without  which  it  is  obvious  that  neither  tran- 
substantiation  or  consubstantiation  can  exist? 

Substantia  represents  ova-la,  a  synonym  of 
which  was  vTroa-raa-i^  sub-stantia  being  the  Latin 
equivalent  of  i/7ro'-o-Ta<n?,  finally  represented  by 
persona,  ie.  a  "character"  or  "mask."  Plato  was 
the  first  to  use  the  word  ova-la,  as  signifying 
"essence"  (essentia,  from  esse,  "to  be")  for  the 
"true  nature  of  a  thing"  j1  but  Aristotle  regarded 
it  much  as  we  do  now,  viz.  the  material  sub- 
stance, for  he  says :  ova-Lai  &e  jmaXia-r  elvai  SOKOVO-I 
TO,  (rw/xara.2 

As  applied  to  Deity,  it  signified  spiritual  sub- 
stance or  nature ;  and  although  ova-la  and  VTTOO-- 
rctcn?  were  identical  in  meaning  or  synonyms  at 
first,  the  former  came  to  be  translated  as  sub- 
stantia  and  the  latter  persona  (literally  "  a  mask  "). 
Ova-la  is  of  course  derived  from  etVat,  "  to  be"  ;  so 
that  6  wvf  "  I  AM,"  represents  the  underlying  idea 
of  a  real  individual,  self-existing  Being.  This, 
too,  appears  to  underlie  the  contention  between 

1  Pkado,  78  c.  2  De  An.,  ii.  I. 

3  Exod.  iii.  14,  etc. 


62  THE   VULGATE 

6/moovario$  and  6/motovariog.  One  still  asks,  however, 
what  is  this  "  substance  "  ?  We  know  nothing  of 
the  nature  of  spiritual  incorporeal  beings ;  names 
only  hide  our  ignorance  of  the  nature  of  God. 

Turning  to  material  objects,  what  is,  or  where- 
in lies  the  ova-la  of  bread  and  wine  as  well 
as  of  flesh  and  blood?  Here  we  are  on  safer 
ground,  and  at  once  see  that  modern  chemistry 
has  dissipated  into  nothingness  all  the  ancient 
ideas  of  any  "  essence,"  substantial,  or  ova-la  "  un- 
derlying" matter  of  all  kinds  whatever. 

It  was  imagined  by  ancient  philosophy  that 
everything  had  an  underlying  "essence"  or  a 
"  real  nature,"  while  its  changeable  properties 
appreciable  to  the  senses  were  its  "accidents." 
Perhaps  the  simplest  illustration  may  be  seen  in 
ice,  water,  and  steam,  or  the  solid,  liquid,  and 
gaseous  condition  of  the  same  thing,  the  imaginary 
ova-la,  while  the  differences  experienced  by  our 
senses  were  the  "accidents."  Since  everything 
can  now  be  analysed  into  its  constituent  elements 
and  their  compounds,  we  find  that  bread  consists 
of  carbon,  hydrogen,  nitrogen,  and  oxygen,  with 
some  mineral  matters ;  these  being  compounded 
into  cellulose,  starch,  gluten,  etc.,  beyond  which 


SAVIOUR    AND   THE    EUCHARIST     63 

there  is  nothing^  so  that  unless  these  undergo 
some  change,  nothing  can  change,  for  there  is  no 
"  substance  "  in  the  old  philosophical  sense  at  all. 

Another  point  may  be  noted.  When  a  miracle 
takes  place,  as  is  supposed  to  in  changing  water  into 
wine,  the  proof  lay  in  the  change  in  the  accidents 
or  properties  perceptible  by  the  senses ;  but  in 
transubstantiation,  since  the  senses  can  detect  no 
difference,  it  is  necessary  to  locate  the  changes  in 
the  "  substance,"  which  cannot  be  proved. 

What,  then,  is  the  obvious  result?  "Is"  really 
meant  "  represents " ;  and  all  conception  of 
"  substance "  is  based  on  the  imagination  alone. 
All  ideas  of  change  of  any  kind  whatever  in 
the  bread  and  wine  is  a  pure  fiction;  and  any 
benefit  supposed  to  be  derived  from  the  con- 
sumption of  the  bread  and  wine  itself  by  its 
being,  in  some  mysterious  and  miraculous  way, 
impregnated  by  the  "  Real  Presence,"  is  entirely 
unfounded. 

All  such  materialistic  ideas  have  no  warrant 
from  Scripture ;  the  pure,  unadulterated,  spiritual 
aid  to  the  soul  is  expressed  in  the  words  of  our 
liturgy  already  referred  to. 

As  the  partaking  of  the  bread  and  wine  is  re- 


64  THE   VULGATE 

garded  as  eating  Christ's  flesh  and  blood,  it  will 
be  desirable  to  consider  briefly  what  is  understood 
by  our  Lord's  words. 

In  the  Acts  converts  are  baptized  for  the  re- 
mission of  their  sins ;  but  nothing  is  stated  as  to 
Christ's  blood  as  guaranteeing  that  forgiveness. 
It  is  dependent  upon  repentance  only. 

There  are  several  expressions  in  which  Christ's 
blood  is  mentioned,  but  they  all  imply  His  life, 
not  His  death.  Thus  we  are  justified,1  redeemed,2 
made  nigh,3  made  at  peace,4  cleansed,5  washed,6 
and  sanctified7  by  His  blood.  Substituting  "a 
holy  life"  for  "blood,"  the  true  meaning  of  that 
word  will  be  at  once  perceived. 

What  is  the  true  meaning  of  the  word  Com- 
munion ?  The  Vulgate  is  responsible  for  a  wide- 
spread or  practically  a  universal  error  with  regard 
to  this  word.  We  designate  the  Eucharist  as  "  the 
Holy  Communion " ;  but  we  speak  of  receiving 
the  elements  as  "  communicating,"  and  apply  this 
word  individually,  so  that  the  priest  might  ask, 
"  Have  you  communicated  ?  "

SAVIOUR   AND   THE   EUCHARIST    65 

The  Greek  word  translated  "  communion  "  in  our 
Bibles  is  rendered  communicatio  in  the  Vulgate, 
while  the  verb  Koivwveoo,  communico  in  Vulgate, 
means  to  "  share  in  common " ;  so  that  if  a  man 
possessed  something  of  which  he  gave  a  part  away, 
he  was  said  xoivooveiv ',  and  in  this  sense  the  verb 
is  used  several  times  by  St  Paul,  meaning  a  money 
contribution,  either  to  a  church x  or  to  a  teacher.2 

St  Paul  appears  to  have  introduced  the  Eucharist 
in  the  middle  of  his  remarks  upon  idolatry,3  in 
order  to  show  that  the  motive  for  partaking  of 
the  bread  and  wine  had  nothing  in  common  with 
that  of  the  sacrificial  feasts  among  the  Corinthians. 
He  tells  them  that  they  cannot  drink  of  both  the 
cup  of  the  Lord  and  the  cup  of  devils,  nor  partake 
of  the  table  of  the  Lord  and  of  devils.  Now  there 
is  nothing  to  indicate  a  transubstantiation  or  a 
Real  Presence  in  the  one  case  more  than  the  other. 
No  Corinthian  thought  he  was  eating  the  devils. 
Therefore  no  Christian  imagined  that  he  was  eating 
Christ.  St  Paul  treats  it  entirely  as  symbolical. 
It  was  not  the  bread  and  wine  nor  the  meat  which 
was  of  any  importance ;  it  was  the  motive  in  both 

1  Rom.  xii.  13 ;  Phil.  iv.  15.  a  Gal.  vi.  6. 

3  Cp.  Rom.  xiv.  14,  20,  and  21.

66  THE   VULGATE 

cases.  The  Koivwvla  was  in  one  sense  a  partaking 
in  common  of  the  bread ;  but  this  symbolised  the 
Koivwvia  or  fellowship  of  all  Christians,  who  now 
united — like  the  scattered  grains  of  corn  becoming 
one  loaf — became  the  one  church.  Similarly, 
drinking  the  wine — representing  Christ's  blood — 
indicated  the  determination  of  all  to  live  the  one 
common  life,  i.e.  the  Christ-life. 

St  John  corroborates  this  view  of  St  Paul,  for 
he  says :  "  That  which  we  have  seen  and  heard 
declare  we  unto  you,  that  ye  also  may  have  fellow- 
ship with  us]  yea,  and  our  fellowship  is  with  the 
Father  and  with  his  Son  Jesus  Christ.  ...  If  we 
say  that  we  have  fellowship  with  him,  and  walk  in 
darkness,  we  lie  and  do  not  the  truth;  but  if  we 
walk  in  the  light,  as  he  is  in  the  light,  we  have 
fellowship  one  with  another,  and  the  blood  of  Jesus 
his  Son  cleanseth  us  from  all  sin."1 

The  Rhemes  Version  was  the  first  to  introduce 
"  communication,"  but  the  Genevan  has  "  com- 
munion." This  was  followed  by  the  A.V.  as  the 
translation  of  Koivuvla,  for  which  the  Vulgate  has 
communicatio  :  "  Calix  benedictionis,  cui  benedicimus, 
nonne  communicatio  sanguinis  Chris  ft  est  ?  et  panis 
1  i  John  i,  3,  6. 


SAVIOUR   AND   THE    EUCHARIST     67 

quern  frangimus,  no?me  participatio  corporis  Domini 
est?"1 

As  "communicating"  frequently  meant  else- 
where, as  stated,  the  giving  and  receiving  of  money, 
the  idea  of  "  fellowship  "  is  lost,  and  the  notion  of 
"  receiving  "  Christ's  blood  takes  its  place.  But  as 
no  perceptible  changes  take  place  in  their  so-called 
"accidents,"  the  fiction  was  invented  that  we 
receive  the  "  substance  "  of  Christ's  blood  instead. 
It  may  be  added  that  the  error  is  retained  in  the 
custom  of  administering  the  elements  to  each 
"communicant"  severally;  as  it  destroys  the 
underlying  idea  of  "fellowship"  between  all 
present.  The  old  custom  of  the  priest  saying  the 
words  once  only  at  the  altar,  and  then  administering 
to  the  whole  railful  at  once,  more  nearly  represented 
the  fundamental  idea  of  a  family  kneeling  before 
a  common  Father — God. 

It  will  be  advisable  to  consider  a  little  further  the 
meaning  of  Koivcovia,  or  fellowship,  as  used  in  the 
New  Testament,  and  to  compare  the  Latin  Vulgate 
with  the  Greek  and  our  English  versions.  The 
first  occasion,  subsequent  to  our  Lord's  dis- 

1  I  Cor.  x.  1 6.  The  Greek  has  ttoivvvla,  both  for  comnmnicatio 
and  participatio. 


68  THE   VULGATE 

appearance,  is  after  Peter's  exhortation  and  the 
baptism  of  converts  had  been  performed,  when 
3000  souls  were  added  to  the  Church.1  The  edition 
of  Clement  VIII.  (1592)  has  Erant  autem  persever- 
antes  in  doctrina  apostolorum,  et  communication* 
fractionis  paniS)  et  orationibus.  But  in  the  edition 
of  Beza  (1642)  we  find  Perdurabant  autem  in 
doctrina  apostolorum  et  communications,  et  fractione 2 
paniS)  et  orationibus. 

Now  may  we  not  trace  the  present  use  of 
the  word  "communicating"  in  the  sacrament  to 
the  above  error  of  punctuation  (note  the  comma 
AFTER  communicatione  in  Beza  and  its  absence  in 
the  other  edition  of  the  Vulgate)?  The  Koivuvia 
has  nothing  to  do  with  the  eating  the  bread. 

In  St  Paul's  account  of  the  institution,3  the  Vul- 
gate (1592)  has  communicatio  sanguinis  and  par- 
ticipatio  corporis ;  but  communio  occurs  in  both 
sentences  in  the  later  edition  (1642).  The  R.Vt 
has  "  communion,"  following  this  edition  of  the 
Vulgate. 

The   question   arises   whether   Jerome   did   not

SAVIOUR   AND   THE   EUCHARIST    69 


misunderstand  St  Paul's  usage  of  the  word 
i.e.  the  "  fellowship  of  the  saints,"  by  supposing  him 
to  mean  the  actual  eating  the  bread  and  drinking 
the  wine?  That  the  Apostle  had  the  "human 
fellowship"  in  his  mind  is  clear  from  the  words 
immediately  following,  by  which  he  seems  to  refer 
to  the  symbolical  meaning  of  the  "one  loaf  of 
many  grains." 

Whereas  Jerome  and  subsequent  translators 
have  made  the  word  imply  the  eating  and  drinking 
Christ's  body  and  blood,  having  in  their  minds 
our  Lord's  own  symbolical  term,  by  so  doing 
the  emphasis  ever  since  has  been  on  the  supposed 
importance  of  "  communicating,"  as  it  is  now  called, 
i.e.  partaking  of  the  actual  bread  and  wine.  The 
spiritual  meaning  of  the  human  fellowship  having 
been  thrown  into  the  background,  it  has  almost, 
if  not  quite,  become  lost  sight  of  by  ordinary 
"  communicants." 

Turning  to  Wiclif's  version  (1380),  the  passage 
runs  as  follows:  —  "  And  weren  lastynge  stable  in 
the  techynge  of  the  Apostlis  and  in  comynyng 
of  the  brekinge  of  breed  and  in  prefers,"  following 
the  Vulgate  closely;  whereas  Tyndale  (1534)  has, 
"  fellowshippe,  and  in  breaking  of  breed,"  being 


70  THE   VULGATE 

followed  by  later  translations,  as  in  our  R.V.  On 
the  other  hand,  the  Roman  Catholic  version  of 
Rhemes  (1582)  follows  Wiclif  and  the  Sixtine : 
"  And  they  were  perseuering  in  the  doctrine  of  the 
Apostles,  and  in  the  communication  of  the  breaking 
of  bread,  and  praiers." 

Similarly,  in  St  Paul's  account,  Rhemes  has  : 
"  The  chalice  of  benediction  which  we  do  blesse : 
is  it  not  the  communication  of  the  bloud  of  Christ  ? 
And  the  bread  which  we  breake,  is  it  not  the 
participation  of  the  body  of  our  Lord  ?  " 

It  seems  quite  clear  from  the  preceding  refer- 
ences, etc.,  that  the  Apostles  understood  the  Lord's 
Supper  to  be  representative  of  a  bond  of  fellowship 
between  Himself  and  His  Church,  and  between 
all  Christians  one  with  another.  Therefore  it 
is  natural  to  find  that  the  converts  were  firm  in 
fellowship,  and  in  breaking  of  bread  at  the  Agapai, 
the  outward  and  visible  sign  of  the  common 
spiritual  nature  of  all  who  joined  the  Christian 
society. 

There  is  not  a  word  or  a  hint  of  the  earliest 
Church  regarding  the  bread  and  wine  as  transformed 
into  Christ's  body  and  blood.  The  accepted  idea 
was  totally  different,  viz.,  as  shown  by  KOIVWVIO.  or 


SAVIOUR   AND   THE   EUCHARIST     71 

fellowship  of  love  between  the  members.  To 
translate  the  word  by  "communion"  or  "communi- 
cation "  of  Christ's  body  and  blood,  i.e.  as  supposed 
to  be  carnally  eaten  and  drunk,  is  a  totally  false 
exegesis.  They  stand  for  the  spiritual  character  of 
Agape,  which  the  partakers  of  the  elements  there- 
by outwardly  profess  to  cultivate,  and  so  assimilate 
the  spirit  of  the  Master. 

I  would  here  strongly  recommend  the  reader 
to  study  the  fifteenth  chapter,  on  THE  LORD'S 
SUPPER,  in  Sir  J.  Seeley's  Ecce  Homo. 


PART    II 

DOCTRINAL  TERMS  APPLICABLE  TO  MAN 

CHAPTER  IX 
REPENTANCE 

THE  ecclesiastical  or  doctrinal  terms,  which  the 
Church  established  referring  to  man's  religious 
career,  from  his  conversion  to  Christianity  to  his 
acquired  salvation,  were  as  follows : — The  Jew  and 
Gentile  of  old  were,  and  any  sinner  of  to-day  is, 
called  upon  to  show  REPENTANCE  (p&nitentia) 
and  make  CONFESSION  (confessio)  of  his  sins. 
FAITH  (fides)  is  required  of  him,  and  OBEDIENCE 
(pbedientid)  to  Christ's  and  the  Church's  com- 
mands. If  the  preceding  be  genuine  and  from 
the  heart,  he  has  his  JUSTIFICATION  (justificatio). 
His  CONVERSION  (conversid)  is  described  as  PRE- 
DESTINATION (predestinatio)  and  ELECTION  (electio). 

He   receives    REMISSION    (remissio)    of    sins    and 

72 


REPENTANCE  73 

ABSOLUTION  (absolutio),  after  due  penance  and 
SATISFACTION  (satisfactio)  has  been  made.  The 
result  is  his  RECONCILIATION  (reconciliatio)  or 
"  at-one-ment "  (sixteenth  century).  Then  follows 
his  growth  in  grace  or  SANCTIFICATION  (sanctifi- 
catio],  and  the  perfect  result  is  SALVATION 
(salvatio,  salus,  or  salutare)  or  spiritual  "  health." 

To  these  terms  observations  will  be  added  upon 
Doctrina  and  Credo. 

Repentance  is  the  English  translation  of  pceni- 
tentia  in  the  Vulgate ;  both  are  connected  with 
pcena,  a  penalty,  being  allied  to  punire,  to  punish. 
Hence  the  word  "  penance "  finds  its  place  in  the 
Rhemes  Version,  as  in  "  Doe  penance  for  the 
Kingdom  of  Heaven  is  at  hand"1;  the  "  Annota- 
tion "on  which  runs  as  follows: — "He  preacheth 
Satisfaction  by  doing  worthy  fruits  or  workes  of 
penance,  which  are  fasting,  praying,  almes  and 
the  like."  The  Greek  word  is  fj.eravoia\  but  the 
Latin  word  comes  nearer  to  yueTa/Ae'Xem,  just  as 
/merajULeXei  agrees  with  p&nitet  me ;  but  that  noun 
does  not  occur  in  the  New  Testament.  MeraWa 
is  a  much  stronger  term,  and  signifies  a  "  change 
of  mind  or  understanding "  leading  to  a  new  life, 

1  Matt.  iii.  2,  8. 


74  THE  VULGATE 

i.e.  an  inward,  spiritual  change ;  whereas  ptzni- 
tentia  led  to  outward  forms  of  penance  only,  which 
do  not  afford  any  necessary  guarantee  of  heart- 
felt repentance  and  sorrow,  which  may  or  may  not 
accompany  them.  Consequently,  by  representing 
/xeraVofa  by  pcenitentia  and  translating  this  by 
"  penance,"  the  whole  force  of  the  Greek  word  has 
become  inverted',  and  this  has  issued  in  the  most 
disastrous  consequences  imaginable.  The  absolute 
necessity  of  punishment  has  replaced  the  free 
pardon  of  grace  offered  to  all  who  repent  of 
their  iniquities.  True  Christianity  has  no  system 
of  external  punishments  or  of  rewards. 

What  has  been  the  consequence  of  this  wrong 
translation  by  the  Vulgate  of  jmerdvoia?  It  gave 
rise  to  the  whole  penitential  system  of  Church 
discipline.  It  began  in  the  Greek  Church,  and 
was  followed  by  the  North  African  and  Roman,  in 
which  it  was  dignified  as  a  sacrament.  Let  us 
read  Tertullian's  description  of  its  several  elements  : 
" '  Exomologesis '  is  the  discipline  of  prostrate 
humiliation,  enjoining  such  a  course  as  may  move 
Divine  pity:  the  substitution  of  sackcloth  and 
ashes  for  a  man's  usual  habit  and  regimen;  the 
defilement  of  the  body  with  dust  and  dirt;  the 


REPENTANCE  75 

abasement  of  the  spirit  with  grief;  the  alteration 
of  every  particular  sin  by  afflictive  treatment. 
And  besides  this,  the  use  of  the  simplest  food  and 
drink,  eating  not  to  pamper  the  appetite  but  to 
maintain  life.  Especially  to  feed  up  prayer  with 
fasting.  To  sigh,  to  weep,  to  groan  whole  days 
and  nights  before  the  Lord  God ;  to  prostrate 
one's  self  before  the  presbyters  and  kneel  before 
the  altars  of  God;  to  bid  the  brethren  to  take 
upon  them  the  mediation  of  intercession."1 

On  the  other  hand,  how  would  /xercwota  apply 
to  the  Greek  and  Roman  converts  ?  They  had 
paid  due  respect  to  the  gods  and  worshipped 
according  to  their  light,  though  their  lives  might 
have  been  grossly  immoral  from  the  Christian 
point  of  view.  St  Paul  therefore  calls  upon  them 
to  abandon  such  worship  and  turn  to  the  living 
God,  who  regarded  a  pure  life  as  part  of  religion, 
and  would  "overlook"  the  past.  But  if,  when 
Christians,  they  sinned  against  God,  then  ^erai/ota 
would  mean  "  repentance "  in  the  ordinary  sense.2 
The  Prodigal  Son  came  to  see  the  error  of  his 
ways  and  "repented."  What  was  the  conse- 
quence ?  He  was  received  with  open  arms  by  his 

1  De  Pctnitentict)  9.  a  See  I  Cor.  v.  and  2  Cor.  vii. 


76  THE   VULGATE 

father,  who  in  the  parable  represents  God.  This 
parable  assures  us  that  true  repentance  guarantees 
forgiveness.  "Punishments,"  like  "rewards,"  do 
not  exist  under  Christianity  as  outward  effects 
of  conduct;  they  stand  for  the  natural  results — 
i.e.  by  natural  laws — of  character  and  conduct. 

Penance  may  enhance  the  power  and  authority 
of  ecclesiasticism ;  but  it  is  at  the  expense  of 
ignoring  the  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

Thus,  then,  do  we  see  how  the  Vulgate,  by  intro- 
ducing poenitentia,  has  opened  the  way  to  an 
intolerant  system  of  outward  observances  of 
penance,  and  elevated  this  false  dogma  into  a 
sacrament. 

To  show  how  an  evil  may  grow,  we  see  a  good 
example  in  penance.  Blunt  tells  us :  "  In  later 
times  corporal  austerities  were  largely  introduced, 
and  menial  offices  to  break  down  the  proud  spirit 
of  rebellion ;  solitude  and  silence,  the  endurance 
of  heat  and  cold,  hair-shirts  and  bodily  chastise- 
ment. These,  however,  were  commutable  for  a 
money  payment,  although  this  rule  could  not  apply 
to  the  poor.  Penance  was  made  so  painful 
[intentionally?]  as  to  drive  penitents  to  this 
easier  method  of  satisfaction.  .  .  .  Such  money 


REPENTANCE  77 

payments  after  the  Reformation  were  directed  to 
be  applied  to  the  use  of  the  poor." 

Penance,  as  established  by  the  Church,  included 
contrition,  confession,  and  satisfaction;  prayer 
always  formed  a  main  element  of  satisfaction  due 
to  God.  Fasting  also  was  added,  and  the  restitution 
to  man  for  wrongs  done  to  him,  etc.  This  last  is, 
of  course,  a  true  Christian  duty ;  but  all  external 
acts,  including  mere  fasting,  are  not  supported  by 
any  New  Testament  authority  referable  to  Christ's 
teaching.  It  has  already  been  shown  that  satis- 
faction was  never  applied  to  Christ  nor  to  anyone 
else  in  the  New  Testament ;  nor  is  it  a  translation 
of  any  Greek  word.  In  the  INDEX  BlBLICUS  of  the 
Vulgate,  the  reader  is  referred  s.v.  Satisfactio  to 
Poenitentia,  to  which  there  are  plenty  of  references. 


CHAPTER  X 
PURGATORY 

ANOTHER  erroneous  consequence  of  poenitentia  is 
the  theory  of  purgatory,  the  history  of  which  is 
briefly  as  follows.  Nothing  is  known  of  it  in  the 
first  two  centuries.  In  the  third,  Tertullian  had 
joined  the  Montanists,  and  refers  to  Dives  and 
Lazarus  as  a  proof  of  future  punishments  and 
rewards  in  an  intermediate  state ;  but  this  gave 
no  inference  as  to  purgatorial  necessities.  He 
seems  to  have  interpreted  the  words,  "Thou 
shalt  by  no  means  come  out  thence,  till  thou 
have  paid  the  last  farthing,"1  as  signifying  that 
offences  are  expiated  by  delay  of  the  resurrec- 
tion ;  but  he  derived  this  conception  from  the 
Montanists. 

Origen   considered   that   all   the    pains    of   the 

1  Matt.  v.  26. 
78 


PURGATORY  79 

damned  were  purgatorial  and  would  be  expiated 
by  fire,1  basing  this  view  on  St  Paul's  teaching.2 

But  this  idea  that  the  soul  itself  shall  be  subjected 
to  a  future,  purgatorial  fire,  continued  even  in  the 
popular  theology  of  to-day,  arises  out  of  a  mis- 
conception of  this  passage.  St  Paul  compares 
different  preachers'  work  to  gold,  silver,  and 
precious  stones,  which  can  resist  the  action  of  fire, 
as  well  as  to  hay  and  stubble,  which  will  be  burnt. 
Fire  is  obviously  a  metaphor  for  whatever  shall 
test  a  man's  preaching,  represented  by  the  above 
things. 

With  regard  to  the  preacher  himself,  if  his  work, 
i.e.  preaching,  be  proved  faulty,  he  will  necessarily 
suffer ;  "  but  he  himself  shall  be  saved  [assuming 
he  was  honest  and  preached  what  he  believed  to 
be  true],  yet  so  as  by  fire."3  That  is,  he  shall 
suffer  mentally  in  some  way,  but  certainly  not 
by  actual  flames  of  fire. 

This  clearly  proves  that  St  Paul  never  regarded 
Christ's  expression  of  hell-fire  or  fire  of  Gehenna, 
etc.,  to  be  other  than  metaphorical.  Fire  is  used

ignem. 


8o  THE   VULGATE 

in  two  senses — either  as  purgatorial  or  as  penal. 
St  John  Baptist  employs  both.  "He  shall 
baptize  you  with  the  Holy  Ghost  and  with  fire." 
Here  it  stands  for  a  purifying  enthusiasm  for 
holiness.  But  he  adds  :  "  The  chaff  He  will  burn 
up  with  unquenchable  fire " 1  ;  that  is,  as  penal. 

It  may  be  worth  while  here  to  notice  some  of 
the  references  to  fire  in  the  Bible.  The  first 
mention  in  connection  with  the  Deity  is  when 
the  angel  of  the  Lord  appeared  unto  Moses  in 
a  flame  of  fire  out  of  the  midst  of  a  bush.2  Here, 
as  on  Sinai,  when  "  the  glory  of  the  Lord  was  like 
a  devouring  fire  on  the  top  of  the  mount,"3  it 
appears  to  be  a  symbol  of  purity  and  holiness. 
On  the  other  hand,  Moses  speaks  of  Yahweh  :  "  the 
Lord  thy  God  is  a  devouring  fire,  a  jealous  God." 
Fire  there  stands  for  the  punishment  of  the 
wicked,  represented  symbolically.4 

Fire  is  also  used  as  a  metaphor  for  whatever 
purifies,  as  in  the  phrase  "saved  as  by  fire." 

1  Matt.  iii.    II,    12.     A  parallel   passage  occurs  in  Isa.   iv.    4: 
"When  the  Lord  ....  shall  have  purged  the  blood  of  Jerusalem 
from  the  midst  thereof,  by  the  spirit  of  judgment  and  by  the  spirit 
of  burning." 

2  Exod.  iii.  2.  3  Exod.  xxiv.  17. 
4  Deut.  iv.  24.     See  Ezek.  xxxvi.  5  and  Ps.  1.  3. 


PURGATORY  81 

So  God  is  "  like  a  refiner's  fire.  .  .  .  He  shall  sit 
as  a  refiner  and  purifier  of  silver."1 

Besides  these  metaphorical  uses  of  fire,  the 
actual  results  of  nature's  physical  fires  were 
familiar  to  all ;  such  as  the  account  of  the  destruc- 
tion of  Sodom  and  Gomorrah  by  "brimstone 
and  fire." 2  Our  Lord  uses  this  as  an  illustration  : 
"  The  same  day  that  Lot  went  out  of  Sodom,  it 
rained  fire  and  brimstone  from  heaven,  and 
destroyed  them  all.  Even  thus  shall  it  be  in 
the  day  when  the  Son  of  man  is  revealed."  He 
thus  uses  a  concrete  instance  as  a  figure  of  what 
will  spiritually  happen  to  the  impenitent,  just  as 
He  did  when  speaking  of  the  tower  of  Siloam.8 

In  Isaiah  we  first  read  of  Tophet  in  the  valley 
of  Hinnom,  just  outside  Jerusalem.  It  was  a 
place  where  Manasseh  had  offered  human  sacri- 
fices,4 and  where  refuse  was  burnt. 

Now  if  the  reader  will  compare  the  passages 
given  in  the  notes  with  St  John's  Revelation,5 
it  will  be  pretty  evident  that  he  was  familiar  with 

1  Mai.  iii.  2,  3.     See  Isa.  i.  25  ;  Ezek.  xxii.  18 ;  I  Pet.  i.  7. 

2  Luke  xvii.  29.     Cp.  Deut.  xxix.  23;  Job  xviii.  15  ;  Ps.  xi.  6;

82  THE   VULGATE 

them,  and  is  using  the  terms  "  fire  and  brimstone  " 
in  a  similarly  metaphorical  or  symbolical  manner. 

Note,  too,  the  source  of  the  brimstone.  At 
first  and  afterwards  it  is  described  as  coming 
from  heaven.  As  a  physical  fact,  we  may  not 
be  far  wrong  in  recognising  lightning  as  repre- 
senting this  supposed  source  of  it.  Secondly,  it 
is  the  "dust  on  the  ground."  Such  we  know  to 
be  the  highly  inflammable  bitumen  which  abounds 
in  the  regions  of  the  cities  of  the  plain  by  the 
Dead  Sea.  The  streams  are  next  said  to  be 
turned  into  pitch.  This  is  scarcely  to  be  doubted 
as  a  description  of  the  liquid  bitumen  or  petroleum 
which  constituted  the  "slime  pits"  of  the  vale 
of  Siddim.1  Lastly,  in  the  Revelation  we  find 
the  place  of  destruction,  not  a  "  plain  "  nor  "  valley," 
but  a  "lake"  of  brimstone.  This  last  term  is 
equally  suggestive  of  a  localisation  near  to  Rome  ; 
where  was  the  Lake  Avernus,  the  crater  of  a 
volcano  and  the  mythical  descent  to  the  lower 
regions;  so  that  St  John  uses  a  "lake"  as  the 
crater  of  an  active  volcano — a  familiar  object  by 
the  Mediterranean  Sea  —  wherewith  to  describe 
in  graphic  metaphorical  language  the  fiery 

1  Gen.  xiv.  10. 


PURGATORY  83 

indignation  of  the  Lord  God  upon  the  heathen 
world,  and  upon  Babylon,  i.e.  Rome,  in  particular. 

Having  thus  acquired  the  erroneous  idea  of  a 
material  instead  of  a  metaphorical  meaning  of  fire 
and  brimstone,  we  find  Pope  Gregory  I.  giving 
it  out  as  a  positive  fact :  "  There  is  a  purgatorial 
fire  before  the  Judgment  for  lighter  faults."1 

Having  fixed  this  error  as  an  article  of  belief, 
the  Church  followed  it  up  by  establishing  pardons 
and  indulgences,  etc.,  to  enable  souls  to  escape 
the  punishments  of  purgatory. 

The  relaxation  of  penances  had  existed  in  the 
primitive  Church,  which  had  been  enforced  for 
acts  which  had  incurred  the  censure  of  the  Church  ; 
and  the  intercession  of  martyrs  had  great  weight. 
In  process  of  time  liberal  alms-giving  was  accepted 
in  lieu  of  or  mitigation  of  penance.  "The  sub- 
sequent sale  of  indulgences  easily  rose  out  of  the 
permission  to  substitute  charity  to  the  poor  or  to 
the  Church  for  mortification  and  humiliation  before 
God."2 

These  exemptions  are  a  wholly  different  thing 

1  De  quibusdam  levibus  culpis  esse   ante  judicium  purgatorius 
ignis  credendus  est  (Dial.,  lib.  iv.  cap.  39). 

2  Browne  on  The  Articles,  p.  503.     I  have  italicised  four  words 
for  a  purpose,  as  will  be  seen. 


84  THE   VULGATE 

from  the  modern  doctrine  of  indulgences,  i.e. 
"  exemptions  from  the  temporal  punishment  of  sins" 
This  includes  not  only  Church  censures,  but  the 
pains  of  purgatory  ;  and  it  is  held  that  the  Bishop 
of  Rome  has  a  store  or  treasure  of  the  merits  of 
Christ  and  of  the  saints,  which,  for  sufficient 
reasons,  he  can  dispense,  either  by  himself  or  his 
agents,  to  mitigate  or  shorten  the  sufferings  of 
penitents  whether  in  this  world  or  the  world  to 
come.  Dr  Harold  Browne  adds  that  "before  the 
end  of  the  twelfth  century  it  is  hardly  possible  to 
discover  any  traces  of  them.  .  .  .  The  first  jubilee, 
or  year  of  general  indulgence,  is  said  to  have  been 
kept  in  the  pontificate  of  Boniface  VIII.,  thirteen 
hundred  years  after  Christ.  ...  It  reached  its 
greatest  height  of  corruption  in  the  pontificate 
of  Leo  X.,  when  Tetzel,  the  agent  of  that 
pope,  openly  selling  indulgences  in  Germany, 
roused  the  spirit  of  Luther  and  so  hastened  the 
Reformation." 

Present-day  Roman  Catholics  say  that  it  is  not 
the  sin,  but  \.\\z  punishment,  which  is  removed  by  the 
indulgence,  and  that  venia  peccatorum  and  remissio 
peccatorum  are  "  technical  expressions  "  referring  to 
the  punishment  but  not  the  guilt.  "  An  indulgence 


PURGATORY  85 

is  rightly  described  as  a  remission  of  temporal 
punishment  due  for  sins  already  remitted  as  to  their 
guilt."  One  naturally  asks  wherein  is  there  any 
justice  in  continuing  the  punishment  if  the  guilt 
or  sin  is  already  pardoned  or  remitted  ? 

The  payment  of  money  for  the  indulgence  is 
explained  as  a  "fee"  for  the  document  received, 
like  that  for  a  title-deed  ;  but  when  the  prices  of 
different  sins  are  said  to  be  publicly  seen  in  Italy, 
and  a  Maltese  friend  told  me  that  the  priests  in 
Malta  "could  not  live  without  purgatory,"  one 
cannot  set  much  value  upon  the  excuses  of  the 
author  of  the  book  referred  to.1 

But  this  interpretation  of  an  indulgence  not 
referring  to  sins  is  contradicted  by  other  authorities. 
Thus,  in  a  form  of  absolution  by  Anthony  Egane, 
B.D.,  Confessor-General  of  the  Kingdom  of  Ire- 
land, in  his  Book  of  Rates,  there  are  the  words: 
"  I  restore  thee  to  that  innocency  in  which  thou 
wast  at  the  time  of  baptism.  I  absolve  thee  from 
all  thy  sins,  and  from  all  torments  due  to  thee  in 
purgatory  for  thy  sins  and  transgressions,"  etc.

CHAPTER  XI 

CONFESSION 

THE  Vulgate,  as  standing  between  the  original 
Greek  and  the  English  Bible,  has  been  the  cause 
of  some  confusion  as  to  the  meanings  of  the  Greek 
word  oytioXoy/a.  The  verb  "to  confess,"  as  sins, 
or  when  St  John  said  "  I  am  not  the  Christ,"  is 
o/xoXoye'o>;  but  when  it  is  used  with  «/,  as  "whoso- 
ever shall  confess  me," l  o/xoXoy^o-et  eV  e/xo/,  /c.r.X., 
it  means  "  profess."  The  middle  voice  with  prefix 
*£  €£o/u.o\oyovfjLcu,  is  also  used  in  both  senses,  as 
at  St  John's  baptism  in  Jordan  the  converts  "  con- 
fessed "  their  sins.  On  the  other  hand,  "  Every 
tongue  shall  confess  to  God  " 2 ;  margin — "  give 
praise "  (R.V.) :  this  implies  "  profession "  rather 
than  "confession." 

The  noun  6/zoXoy/a  is  used  in  two  senses  also  ; 

1  Matt.  x.  32.  2  Rom.  xiv.  II. 

87 


88  THE   VULGATE 

and  the  A.V.,  recognising  the  inadequacy  of  "  con- 
fession "  in  certain  passages,  has  "  profession." 1 
The  Vulgate  has  always  confessio^  and  the  R.V. 
uniformly  restores  "  profession  "  to  "  confession." 

With  regard  to  the  Latin  terms,  Cicero  strongly 
contrasts  confiteor  with  profiteer: — Professio  fidei, 
Confessio  peccatorum  ; 2  so  that  a  distinction  might 
have  been  made  in  the  Vulgate  in  accordance  with 
the  sense  of  the  passages ;  but  as  confessio  alone 
was  used,  so  confession  appears  in  our  Bible ;  and 
although  the  A.V.  did  draw  the  distinction,  the 
R.V.  has  destroyed  it! 

A  typical  passage  occurs  in  St  Paul's  Epistle  to 
the  Romans.  The  following  is  the  R.V. :— "  If 
thou  shalt  confess  with  thy  mouth  Jesus  as  Lord, 
and  shalt  believe  in  thy  heart  that  God  raised  him 
from  the  dead,  thou  shalt  be  saved :  for  with  the 
heart  man  believeth  unto  righteousness  ;  and  with 
the  mouth  confession  is  made  unto  salvation."3 

The  Greek  for  the  words  italicised  is  6yUoXoy>i(r^9 
ev  TU>  (TTO/maTi — TTKTTeva-fls  ev  Tfl  KapSla — 6/aoAoye*- 
TCU  el ? 


1  See,  e.g.,  2  Cor.  ix.   13;  i  Tim.  vi.   12;  Heb.  iii.   I,  iv.   14, 
x.  23. 

2  Cic.,  Pro  Sest.,  51,  109.  3  Rom.  x.  9,  10. 


CONFESSION  89 

The  Vulgate  has  "Si  confitearis  in  ore  tuo 
Dominum  Jesum,  et  in  corde  tuo  credideris  .... 
salvus  eris.  Corde  enim  creditur  ad  justitiam  :  ore 
autem  confessio  fit  ad  salutem" 

Here  "  confess "  stands  for  "  profess,"  and 
"  believe  "  for  "  have  faith."  It  is  the  "  profession 
of  faith,"  not  a  "  confession,"  which  the  Christian 
holds.  Similarly,  St  Paul  writes  to  Timothy : 
"Fight  the  good  fight  of  the  faith,  lay  hold  on 
the  life  eternal,  whereunto  thou  wast  called,  and 
didst  confess  the  [hast  professed  a,  A.V.]  good 
confession  in  [profession,  A.V.]  the  sight  of  many 
witnesses."1  It  is  curious  that  in  the  next  verse 
o/AoXoy/a  in  reference  to  Christ  is  translated 
"  confession  "  in  A.V.,  following  the  Vulgate :  Qui 
testimonium  reddidit  sub  Pontio  Pilato  bonam 
confessionem. 

Though  the  Vulgate  is  right  in  using  confiteor 
and  confessio  in  connection  with  sin,  it  is  un- 
fortunately wrong  wherever  the  Greek  means 
"  profession."  The  doctrinal  errors  connected  with 
the  word  arose  much  later  in  the  history  of  the 
Church.  The  duty  of  confessing  sins  openly  was 
always  considered  a  necessary  part  of  repent- 

1  i  Tim.  vi.  12. 


90  THE   VULGATE 

ance.1  It  might  perhaps  be  regarded  as  equivalent 
to  the  oath  of  a  witness  ;  because  the  Law  was 
both  divine  and  politic  with  the  Jews,  religion  not 
being  differentiated  from  the  State  requirements. 
On  the  other  hand,  we  find  the  oath  already  the 
necessary  adjunct  to  civil  law  in  the  code  of 
Hammurabi,  king  of  Babylon  (B.C.  2285);  e.g.t 
"  The  witnesses  of  a  theft  shall  say  out  before  God 
what  they  know"  (§9).  A  public  asseveration  or 
confession  by  the  Jew  was  therefore  a  testimony 
to  Yahweh  on  the  part  of  the  repentant  sinner.2 
It  was  an  outward  and  audible  sign  of  repentance; 
the  confession  being  regarded  as  honest,  being 
uttered  before  the  multitude  and  before  Yahweh. 

Similarly,  when  St  John  Baptist  called  upon 
the  Jews  "  to  repent,"  we  read  that  they  confessed 
their  sins  (e^o/xoXoyoiVeyo*).3 

In  the  early  centuries,  public  confession  was 
found  to  lead  to  irregularities,  and  private  confes- 
sion became  more  customary ;  but  it  was  not  until 
A.D.  1215  that  Pope  Innocent  III.  promulgated  the 
2ist  Canon,  Omnis  utriusque  sexus,  which  enjoins 

1  See  Hooker,  EccL  /*<?/.,  VI.  iv.  4,  where  the  whole  subject  is 
discussed  in  detail.

CONFESSION  91 

all  the  faithful  who  have  arrived  at  years  of  dis- 
cretion to  confess  their  sins  once  a  year  at  least 
to  their  own  parish  priest.  Penalties  for  dis- 
obedience were  subsequently  added ;  then  some 
time  before  the  Reformation  it  was  taught  that 
confession  was  part  of  the  sacrament  of  penance, 
which  is  necessary  to  salvation.1 

It  need  hardly  be  added  that  a  true  Christian 
who  feels  a  true  repentance  need  not  go  to  any 
fallible  person,  but  confess  to  God  privately  if  he 
deem  it  right  so  to  do ;  as  St  John  says :  "  If  we 
confess  our  sins,  he  is  faithful  and  righteous  to 
forgive  us  our  sins,  and  to  cleanse  us  from  all 
unrighteousness." 2 

With  regard  to  the  use  of  o/moXoyia  in  the  LXX, 
the  first  occasion  is  in  Leviticus,3  where  Kara  Trda-av 
o/uLoXdytav  avrwv  occurs.  The  Vulgate  has  vota 
solvens, "  for  all  his  vows  "  ;  but  while  R.  V.  translates 
"  any  of  their  vows,"  the  A. V.  has  "  all  his  vows," 
apparently  following  LXX.  'O/moXoyla  elsewhere

It  need  hardly  be  necessary  to  add  that  to 
confess  one's  sins  voluntarily  one  to  another 
affords  no  foundation  for  any  system  of  compul- 
sory auricular  confession.  The  INDEX  BIBLICUS 
can  only  refer  to  Matthew  v.  6,  James  v.  16,  and 
i  John  i.  8,  9,  which  are  all  irrelevant.

CHAPTER   XII 
JUSTIFICATION   AND  CONVERSION 

THE  first  is  derived  from  Justus  and  facere,  i.e. , 
etymologically,  "  to  make  righteous "  ;  but  used 
to  mean  "  to  act  justly  towards  one,"  and  is  the 
translation  of  SIKCUOW.  Justificatio  does  not  appear 
to  be  known  in  classical  Latin,  but  was  appar- 
ently invented  for  the  Vulgate,  and  only  occurs 
elsewhere  in  ecclesiastical  Latin  of  a  later  date ; 
but  the  above  derivation  has  given  rise  to  the 
whole  of  the  Roman  Catholic  theory  of  the 
"infusion  of  righteousness." 

With  regard  to  SIKCUOW,  Thayer  (Greek  Lexicon) 
observes  that  as  the  word  Sov\6c»  means  "  to 
make  a  man  a  slave,"  so  this  might  mean  "  to  make 
a  man  righteous  "  ;  but  this  meaning  is  extremely 
rare,  if  not  altogether  doubtful,  and  he  gives  no 
example.  The  true  meaning  is  "  to  declare  one  to 

93 


94  THE   VULGATE 

be  righteous,"  just  as  agiow  never  means  "  to  make 
worthy  "  but  "  to  judge  worthy." l  A*/cato'a>  means 
"  to  declare  righteous,"  or,  in  a  forensic  sense, 
"  to  acquit."  It  therefore  implies  that  the  sinner's 
sin,  or  the  heathen  convert's  past  life,  is  forgiven. 
Christianity  has  no  system  of  punishments  for  the 
obliteration  of  the  past,  as  forgiveness  follows 
repentance  by  a  natural  law.  Then,  repentance 
is  followed  by  faith,  which  carries  justification 
with  it.  Finally,  faith  is  proved  by  means  of 
"  good  works,"  i.e.  the  Christ -life. 

Hooker  has  a  long  paragraph  on  the  theory  of 
infused  or  imputed  righteousness  or  justification, 
according  to  the  Roman  Catholic  Church  ;  from 
which  the  following  sentences  are  extracted,  being 
the  answer  to  the  hypothetical  question  to  a 
Roman  Catholic,  "  What  is  the  righteousness 
whereby  a  Christian  is  justified  ?  "  "  It  is  a  divine 
spiritual  quality;  which  quality,  received  into  the 
soul,  doth  first  make  it  to  be  one  of  them  who  are 
born  of  God ;  and  secondly,  endue  it  with  power 

1  It  may  be  observed  that,  as  ar  as  possible,  our  criminal  laws 
follow  the  Christian  method.  For,  when  a  convict  has  completed 
his  sentence,  it  is  expressly  laid  down  that  he  leaves  the  prison  with- 
out a  stain  upon  him,  and  is  free  to  start  afresh  a  new  life  as  a 
"justified  "  man. 


JUSTIFICATION   AND   CONVERSION  95 

to  bring  forth  such  works  as  they  do  that  are 
born  of  Him.  ...  It  maketh  the  soul  gracious  and 
amiable  in  the  sight  of  God,  in  regard  whereof 
it  is  termed  grace;  that  it  purgeth,  purifieth, 
washeth  out,  all  the  stains  and  pollutions  of 
sin.  .  .  .  This  grace  will  have  to  be  applied  by 
infusion  .  .  .  and  is  made  capable  of  increase  .  .  . 
so  the  soul  may  be  more  and  more  justified 
according  as  grace  shall  be  augmented,  the  aug- 
mentation whereof  is  merited  by  good  works,  as 
good  works  are  made  meritorious  by  it."1 

Hooker  then  follows  this  supposed  answer  ot 
a  Roman  Catholic,  of  which  there  is  much  more 
than  is  given  above,  by  quotations  from  the 
Apostles,  showing  its  disagreement  from  their 
teaching.  Thus  he  points  out  how  St  Paul  deter- 
mined "to  win  Christ"  for  himself.2  Hooker  adds 
that  God,  "  beholding  the  truly  repentant  sinner 
with  a  gracious  eye,  putteth  away  his  sin  by  not 
imputing3  it,  taketh  quite  away  the  punishment 
due  thereunto,  by  pardoning  it :  and  accepting 
him  in  Jesus  Christ,  as  perfectly  righteous,  as  if

he  had  fulfilled  all  that  is  commanded  him  in  the 
law."  i 

What  is  deducible  from  the  preceding?  It  is 
that,  if  the  Roman  Church  be  correct,  man  must 
be  a  mere  machine;  for  the  being  made  good  is 
due  to  an  infusion  from  without^  not  to  his  own 
free-will  within.  His  righteousness  would  be  the 
result  of  a  sort  of  spiritual  mechanism ;  while 
"good  works"  are  merely  the  wheels  of  the 
machine  which  grinds  out  salvation. 

True  repentance  carries  the  obliteration  of  the 
sin  ;  so  that  the  sinner  is  "  acquitted,"  i.e.t  forensi- 
cally,  "justified."  He  then  has  to  "work  out  his 
own  salvation,"  i.e.  to  live  the  Christ-life.  "  In- 
fusion," therefore,  would  destroy  his  free-will. 

The  words  italicised  in  the  quotations  from 
Hooker  point  to  the  mechanical  action  of  the 
notion  of  "  infusion  "  upon  the  man. 

Conversion  (conversio,  eTna-rpotyrj)  only  occurs 
once  in  allusion  to  the  conversion  of  the  Gentiles 
to  Christianity.2  The  verb  convertere,  irt<TTpe<j>€n>t 
"  to  turn  to,"  e.g.  the  worship  of  the  true  God,  is 
frequent.  It  implies  "  a  change  of  conduct." 3

JUSTIFICATION   AND   CONVERSION  97 

It   is    parallel   to   /merdvoLa,  "  a  change  of  mind," 
which  precedes  it.1 

The  modern  abuse  of  the  term  is  due  to  the 
Methodists,  followed  by  Revivalists  of  the  last 
century  in  the  English  Church.  They  regarded 
a  "  sudden  conversion "  as  all-important,  and  if 
once  anyone  has  been  got  to  say  "  I  believe,"  he 
would  be  safe  for  ever ;  overlooking  the  fact  that 
though  a  sinner  may  be  convinced  of  his  sin  by  a 
preacher,  and  come  to  the  "  stool  of  repentance " 
in  contrition,  his  salvation  is  a  life-long  process 
to  be  slowly  worked  out  by  himself. 

1  See  Liike  xvii.  4. 


CHAPTER  XIII 

REMISSION 

Remissio  in  the  Vulgate  stands  both  for  a< 
and  Tra/oeov?.  The  former  signifies  "sending 
away"  or  "releasing,"  as  from  bondage,  as  in 
Isaiah1  and  Jeremiah,2  who  spoke  of  the  release 
or  liberty  of  captives;  but  a^eo-t?  is  not  used  in 
the  LXX  for  sins.  It  occurs  for  "Jubilee"  in 
Leviticus.  In  the  New  Testament  it  occurs  nine 
times  in  the  sense  of  remission  of  sins ;  but  always 
in  connection  with  Jews,3  or  when  spoken  to  the 
Jews4  or  by  our  Lord  to  His  disciples.5  When  St 
Paul  is  speaking  to  heathens  or  to  the  Romans  he 
uses  the  word  Trct/oeo-/?,  "  a  passing  over,"  6  or,  as  to 
the  Greeks,  he  uses  the  verb  \nrepeiSw,  "to  overlook."7 

1  Isa.  Ixi.  i.  2  Jer.  xxxiv.  8. 

3  Acts  ii.  38,  v.  31.  4  Mark  i.  4. 

5  Matt.  xxvi.  28 ;  Luke  xxiv.  47.          6  Rom.  iii.  25. 
7  Acts  xvii.  30. 

98 


REMISSION  99 

The  reason  for  this  difference  is  obvious.  The 
Jews  had  Moses  and  the  prophets,  and  had  they 
listened  to  them,  St  John  Baptist  would  have  had 
less  to  complain  of  in  their  conduct.  To  repent, 
with  them,  not  only  meant  "  a  change  of  under- 
standing "  but  a  change  of  heart  as  well.  On  the 
other  hand,  the  Greeks  and  Romans  had  no  such 
sources  of  information  as  the  prophets.  They 
had  acted  up  to  their  religious  ideas,  although 
they  were  mistaken.  Hence,  it  had  been  a  time 
which  God  would  "  overlook  "  or  pass  over,  if  they 
would  now  "  change  their  mind  and  understanding  " 
and  accept  the  teaching  of  Paul. 

But  to  all  who  accept  Christ,  but  fall  again  into 
sin,  there  is  the  promise  of  forgiveness  or  remis- 
sion of  sins,  though  the  Christian  fall  seventy  times 
seven,  but  as  often  honestly  and  truly  repent.  Not 
that  he  may  sin  that  grace  may  abound ;  if  he  do 
that,  he  is  wilfully  crucifying  the  Son  of  God 
afresh,  and  may  accept  the  consequences.1 

According  to  the  Vulgate,  the  first  necessity  after 
repentance,  as  we  have  seen,  is  to  do  penance,  or 
rather  the  two  are  identical ;  that  is  to  say,  the 
repentant  person  must  undergo  punishment  of 

1  Luke  xvii.  4,  5  ;  Heb.  vi.  6. 


ioo  THE   VULGATE 

some   sort    before  he    can    be    reinstated    in    the 
Church.1 

There  is  nothing  of  this  required  in  the  gospels. 
The  prodigal  son  was  brought  to  himself  by  a 
natural  law.  As  long  as  he  had  money  to  spend, 
he  had  no  reason  or  wish  to  go  home  ;  but  poverty 
made  him  take  a  different  view.  It  "  changed  his 
mind  "  ;  he  humbled  himself  and  returned.  That 
was  enough ;  the  father  asked  for  no  more.  He 
imposed  no  penance  upon  him,  but  received  his 
son  back  with  open  arms.  That  father  represents 
God.  God's  grace  demands  no  punishment,  only 
repentance.  If  a  man  will  not  repent,  he  punishes 
himself. 

1  Of  course  this  is  the  fundamental  error  of  Anselm,  and  under- 
lies his  Cur  Deus  Homo. 


CHAPTER  XIV 

ABSOLUTION 

THOUGH  this  word  does  not  occur  in  our  Bible,  it 
corresponds  in  meaning  with  the  Latin  remissio 
and  the  Greek  a^eo-f?,  a  "  sending  away  "  ;  but  the 
doctrine  of  priestly  absolution  is  presumably  based 
on  the  words  first  said  to  Peter  and  then  to  all  the 
disciples  collectively :  "  I  will  give  unto  thee  the 
keys  of  the  kingdom  of  heaven,  and  whatsoever 
thou  shalt  bind  on  earth  shall  be  bound  in  heaven ; 
and  whatsoever  thou  shalt  loose  on  earth  shall  be 
loosed  in  heaven."  *  Similar  words  were  uttered 
to  all  the  disciples  collectively :  "  Whose  soever  sins 
ye  forgive,  they  are  forgiven  unto  them  ;  whose 
soever  sins  ye  retain,  they  are  retained." 2  A  third 
passage  corroborates  this,  for  we  read :  "  In  that 
hour  came  the  disciples  unto  Jesus/'3  From 

1  Matt.  xvi.  19.  2  John  xx.  23.  3  Matt,  xviii.  I  ff. 

101 


102  THE   VULGATE 

among  them  he  called  a  little  child  and  set 
him  in  the  midst  of  them,  etc.  He  then  gives 
instructions l  for  the  establishment  of  a  little  court 
of  justice2  for  the  future  Church;  and  secondly, 
if  that  be  ineffectual,  then  the  whole  Church  must 
resolve  itself  into  a  higher  court.3  If  this  fail  to 
bring  the  sinner  to  repentance,  then  the  offending 
brother  is  to  be  excommunicated;  because  he 
persists  in  being  impenitent.4  Then  follows  the 
promise :  "  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  what  things 
soever  ye  shall  bind  on  earth  shall  be  bound  in 
heaven ;  and  what  things  soever  ye  shall  loose  on 
earth  shall  be  loosed  in  heaven."  The  plural  "ye" 
shows  that  the  injunction  was  not  confined  to 
Peter  alone. 

In  the  INDEX  BIBLICUS  it  is  said:  Peccatum  solus 
Deus  propria  auctoritate  r emitter e  potest  ("God 
alone  can  remit  a  sin  by  His  own  authority"). 
Peccatum  remittitur  per  Christum;  peccatum 
sacerdos  remittit  auctoritate  divina  ("  A  sin  is 
remitted  through  Christ ;  a  priest  remits  a  sin  by 
divine  authority");  and  Matt,  xviii.  1 8,  John  xx.  23, 
are  referred  to  in  support.

3  Matt,  xviii.  17.  4  Matt,  xviii.  17. 


ABSOLUTION  103 

We  read  of  an  occasion  when  our  Lord's  in- 
structions thus  given  to  his  disciples  ought  to 
have  been  followed ;  for  St  Paul l  rebukes  the 
Corinthian  Christians  for  going  to  law  before  the 
unbelievers,  instead  of  before  the  Church.  As 
actual  cases  of  binding  and  loosing,  perhaps 
that  of  Ananias  and  the  one  mentioned  in 
his  First  Epistle  to  the  Corinthians  would 
apply.2 

With  regard  to  the  "  power  of  the  keys,"  accord- 
ing to  Jewish  metaphors  this  merely  signified  the 
right  to  teach:  "Woe  unto  you  lawyers,  for  ye 
took  away  the  key  of  knowledge :  ye  entered  not 
in  yourselves,  and  them  that  were  entering  in  ye 
hindered."  3  But  the  key  was  also  used  to  indicate 
authority  and  power.  Thus  Christ  says :  "  I  am 
alive  for  evermore,  and  I  have  the  keys  of  death 
and  of  Hades."4  Again:  "  He  that  hath  an  ear  let 
him  hear  what  the  Spirit  saith  to  the  churches. 
And  to  the  angel  of  the  church  in  Philadelphia 
write :  These  things  saith  he  that  is  holy,  he  that 
is  true,  he  that  hath  the  key  of  David,5  he  that

104  THE   VULGATE 

openeth  and  none  shall  shut,  and  that  shutteth  and 
none  openeth." 

The  key  to  the  abyss  is  also  referred  to.1 

It  would  almost  seem  as  if  the  Church  based  its 
assumed  "  power  of  the  keys "  on  these  passages 
rather  than  on  the  true  meaning  as  applying  to 
Peter  and  the  rest  of  the  Church  ;  and  that  the 
Pope  delegated  to  princes  the  power  to  rule  seems 
implied  in  their  custom,  according  to  Gregory,  of 
sending  a  golden  key  to  them,  wherein  they 
enclosed  a  little  of  the  filings  of  St  Peter's 
chain.  This  key  was  worn  in  the  bosom  of  the 
prince  who  received  it,  probably  as  a  charm. 

That  the  Apostles  themselves  laid  no  claim  what- 
ever to  any  delegated  authority  to  forgive  sins, 
but  only  to  preach  forgiveness  by  Christ,  is  obvious 
if  we  read  the  following  passages  together: — 

"  Peter  said  unto  them,  '  Repent  ye,  and  be 
baptized  every  one  of  you  in  the  name  of  Jesus 
Christ  unto  the  remission  of  your  sins;  and  ye 
shall  receive  the  gift  of  the  Holy  Ghost ' " 2 

"  As  they  spake  unto  the  people,  the  priests  and 

1  Rev.  ix.  i,  xx.  i. 

2  Acts  ii.  38.     Would  Peter  have  thus  spoken  had  he  known  the 
words,  "  To  baptize  in  the  name  of  the  Father  and  of  the  Son  and  of 
the  Holy  Ghost"  (Matt,  xxviii.  19)? 


ABSOLUTION  105 

the  captain  of  the  temple  and  the  Sadducees 
came  upon  them,  being  sore  troubled  because 
they  taught  the  people,  and  proclaimed  in  Jesus 
the  resurrection  from  the  dead."1 

"Be  it  known  unto  you  therefore,  brethren, 
that  through  this  man  is  proclaimed  unto  you 
remission  of  sins/'2 

Similarly,  St  John  says  :  "If  we  confess  our  sins, 
he  is  faithful  and  righteous  to  forgive  us  our  sins, 
and  to  cleanse  us  from  all  unrighteousness."3 

"To  'remit,'  like  the  'retain,'"  writes  Dr 
Farrar,4  "is  referred,  not  to  individuals  but  to 
classes ;  and,  as  even  Peter  Lombard  teaches  in  the 
SententicE,  is  not  a  power  solvendi  et  legandi  but 
ostendendi  solutos  vel  legates  (lib.  iv.  14-20).  The 
absolution,'  he  says,  'is  not  judicial,  but  the 
declaration  of  God's  decree ;  just  as  the  Jewish 
priest  did  not  cleanse  lepers,  but  declared  them 
clean.'  The  sinner  (quoting  Cassiodorus)  is  for- 
given by  God  as  soon  as  he  repents,  and  is  not, 
therefore,  liberated  by  the  priest  from  God's  anger, 
from  which  his  repentance  set  him  free.  .  .  . 
There  is  not  a  trace  of  the  form  absolve  te  before

io6  THE   VULGATE 

the  thirteenth  century.  .  .  .  Scripture  only  teaches 
us  to  confess  to  God." 

In  the  form  of  absolution  of  Anthony  Egane, 
formerly  Confessor-General  of  Ireland,  we  read  as 
follows : — 

"Our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  absolve  thee;  and  by 
virtue  of  His  authority  with  which  I  am  charged 
I  do  absolve  thee ;  first,  from  all  the  bonds  of 
excommunication,  whether  great  or  small.  ...  I 
also  absolve  thee  from  all  thy  sins  and  from  all 
torments  due  to  thee  in  purgatory  for  thy  sins  and 
transgressions,  etc."  The  claim  to  absolve  or 
forgive  sins  is  here  perfectly  clear. 

With  regard  to  the  terms  "binding"  and 
"loosing,"  Dr  Edersheim1  observes:  "Our  first 
inquiry  must  be,  what  it  [this  saying  of  Christ  to 
Peter]  would  convey  to  the  person  to  whom  the 
promise  was  addressed.  And  here  we  recall,  that 
no  other  terms  were  in  more  constant  use  in 
Rabbinic  Canon-Law  than  those  of  '  binding '  and 
'loosing.'  The  words  are  the  literal  translation 
of  the  Hebrew  equivalents  Asar,  which  means 
'  to  bind/  in  the  sense  of  prohibiting ;  and  Hittir, 
which  means  '  to  loose,'  in  the  sense  of  permitting.

ABSOLUTION  107 

.  .  .  '  Binding '  and  *  loosing '  referred  simply  to 
things  or  acts,  prohibiting  or  else  permitting  them, 
declaring  them  lawful  or  unlawful.  This  was  one 
of  the  powers  claimed  by  the  Rabbis.  As  regards 
their  laws  (not  decisions  as  to  things  or  acts),  it 
was  a  principle,  that  while  in  Scripture  there  were 
some  that  bound  and  some  that  loosed,  all  the 
laws  of  the  Rabbis  were  in  reference  to  '  binding.' 
If  this,  then,  represented  the  legislative,  another 
pretension  of  the  Rabbis,  that  of  declaring  *  free ' 
or  else  '  liable/  i.e.  guilty,  expressed  their  claim 
to  the  judicial  power.  By  the  first  of  these  they 
'  bound '  or  '  loosed '  acts  or  things  ;  by  the  second 
they  '  remitted '  or  '  retained/  declared  a  person  free 
from,  or  liable  to  punishment,  to  compensation,  or 
to  sacrifice.  These  two  powers — the  legislative  and 
the  judicial — which  belonged  to  the  Rabbinic  office, 
Christ  now  transferred,  and  that  not  in  their  pre- 
tension, but  in  their  reality,  to  His  Apostles :  the 
first  here1  to  Peter  as  their  representative;  the 
second,  after  His  resurrection,  to  the  Church." 2 

The  very  expression  "  bound  and  loosed  in 
heaven  "  was  rabbinic ;  as  Dr  Edersheim  continues : 
"  In  the  view  of  the  Rabbis,  heaven  was  like  earth, 

1  Matt.  xvi.  19.  2  John  xx.  23. 


io8  THE   VULGATE 

and  questions  were  discussed  and  settled  by  a 
heavenly  Sanhedrin.  Now  in  regard  to  some  of 
their  earthly  decrees,  they  were  wont  to  say  that 
1  the  Sanhedrin  above '  confirmed  what  *  the 
Sanhedrin  beneath'  had  done." 

Our  Lord,  however,  while  thus  adopting  phrase- 
ology familiar  to  the  Jew,  elevates  His  promise  into 
a  spiritual  sphere,  just  as  He  added:  "  Where  two 
or  three  are  gathered  together  in  my  name,  there 
am  I  in  the  midst  of  them."1 

But  there  is  another  sense  or  application  of  the 
terms.  As  the  "  sins  "  refer  to  character  on  the  part 
of  the  offender,  so  tt\z  judgment  lies  in  the  character 
of  the  Christian.  Just  as  the  mere  presence  of  a 
holy  man  or  woman  or  even  of  an  innocent  child 
unconsciously  condemns  the  man  who  is  impure 
of  heart,  so  was  this  the  reason  why  the  disciples 
were  likened  to  a  candle  that  all  might  see,  and 
enjoined,  as  well  as  ourselves  now,  to  let  their 
light  so  shine  before  men  that  they  might  see  their 
good  works  and  glorify  God  likewise.  Thus  would 
the  disciples  be — figuratively — set  on  thrones 
judging  the  twelve  tribes  of  Israel. 

These  texts,  therefore,  do   not   mean  that  only 

1  Matt,  xxviii.  20. 


ABSOLUTION  109 

the  twelve  apostles  had  some  miraculous  power 
transmitted  to  them  for  the  purpose  of  absolving 
a  penitent,  much  less  that  it  should  be  passed  on 
through  them  to  an  English  priest  of  to-day.  Nor, 
on  the  other  hand,  was  the  "  retaining  "  a  presum- 
ably refusing  to  absolve  a  sinner  according  to  their 
own  imperfect  judgment ;  for  a  modern  priest  has 
no  proof  that  he  can  judge  aright,  even  supposing 
the  Apostles  to  have  some  miraculous  gift  of 
insight  by  the  Spirit,  endowing  them  with  an 
infallible  power  of  detecting  duplicity  or  of 
recognising  honesty.  The  quotations,  therefore, 
mean  that  Christ  would  have  all  His  disciples  truly 
spiritual  and  Christ-like.  And  just  as  St  Paul  in 
his  large  heart,  always  ready  to  cover  a  multitude 
of  sins  in  others,  addressed  his  converts  as 
"saints"  indiscriminately,  so  Jesus  would  wish 
to  look  at  all  His  faithful  disciples  as  so  many 
"  Christs,"  or  at  least  His  "  vicars  "  on  earth,  and 
"  perfect "  as  their  Heavenly  Father  is  perfect ;  so 
that  no  one  who  was  not  yet  a  Christian  could 
look  at  the  disciples  or  hear  their  preaching  with- 
out being  convicted  of  their  errors  and  convinced 
of  the  truth.  This,  by  creating  repentance,  brings 
true  absolution  or  remission  of  sins  with  it. 


CHAPTER  XV 

RECONCILIATION,  REGENERATION  ;  AND   "  GOOD 
WORKS,"  OR   THE  "  CHRIST-LIFE  " 

THE  only  passage  (A.V.)  where  "atonement" 
occurs  in  the  New  Testament,  it  will  be  re- 
membered, is  now  altered  to  "  reconciliation " 
(R.V.),1  which  is  a  synonym  for  "  at-one-ment." 
The  Vulgate  has  therefore  correctly  translated 
/caraXXay/}  by  reconciliatio.  The  error  which 
came  to  be  involved  in  the  use  of  this  word  followed, 
as  we  have  seen,  on  the  false  conception  of  our 
Lord  dying  as  an  expiatory  sacrifice  to  appease 
God,  and  so  it  came  to  be  said  that  "  He  reconciled 
God  to  man."  The  true  result  of  Christ's  life  and 
death  was  the  "  reconciling  man  to  God,"  i.e.  the 
making  the  two,  man  and  God,  to  be  "  at  one,"  i.e. 
He  "  atoned  "  them,  to  use  the  word  in  its  sixteenth 

1  Rom.  v.  ii. 

1 10 


THE   "CHRIST-LIFE"  in 

century  meaning.  A  few  passages  will  be  enough 
to  show  that  this  is  the  true  and  only  meaning  in 
the  New  Testament. 

"For  if,  while  we  were  enemies,  we  were 
reconciled  to  God  through  the  death  of  his  Son, 
much  more,  being  reconciled,  shall  we  be  saved  by 
his/^";1  i.e.,  living  His  life  is  our  salvation.  It 
may  be  added  that  St  Paul  is  here  alluding  to  the 
imagery  of  sacrifice ;  for  the  death  of  the  victim 
implied  the  death  to  sin  in  the  guilty  person ;  but 
Christ's  blood  being  the  life,  is  now  offered  to 
him  to  drink  and  so  acquire  salvation,  i.e.  a  pure, 
Christ-like  character  and  conduct. 

So  he  writes  to  the  Corinthians  :  "  God  recon- 
ciled us  to  himself  through  Jesus  Christ,  and  gave 
unto  us  the  ministry  of  reconciliation."2 

Lastly,  he  wrote  in  a  similar  strain  to  the 
Colossians :  "  You,  being  in  time  past  alienated 
and  enemies  in  your  mind  in  your  evil  works,  yet 
now  hath  he  reconciled  in  the  body  of  his  flesh 
through  death,  to  present  you  holy  and  un- 
reprovable."  3 

REGENERATION.— This  is  the  exact  rendering 
of  the  Greek  7raA*yyey«r/a.  It  is  often  alluded  to 

1  Rom.  v.  10.  2  2  Cor.  v.  18.  s  Col.  i.  21,  22. 


112  THE   VULGATE 

both  in  the  Gospejis  and  the  Epistles,  and  always 
means  a  change  of  character  and  conduct,  as 
represented  by  a  new,  i.e.  spiritual,  birth.  It 
follows  on  repentance,  or,  as  the  Greek  word 
//ercu/oia  means,  a  "change  of  understanding," 
i.e.  on  learning  what  the  Christian  character  and 
conduct  must  be.  There  was  always  an  outward 
and  visible  sign  required  as  a  public  witness  to  the 
genuineness  of  the  spiritual  change  within.  For 
adult  converts  our  Lord  insisted  upon  a  public 
baptism  as  a  proof  to  all  that  the  baptized  person 
intended  to  forgo  his  past  life,  probably  well 
known  to  all  who  were  present  at  his  public  pro- 
fession of  faith  in  Jesus.  Baptism  thus  was 
required  to  follow,  not  precede,  conversion. 
The  new  convert  had  already,  as  it  is  described, 
"received  the  Holy  Ghost,"  or,  as  we  might  say, 
a  religious  inspiration.  It  did  not  come  as  an 
accompaniment  to  baptism. 

But  the  tendency  of  the  human  mind  is  to 
materialise  spiritual  conceptions;  hence,  when 
idols  were  made,  the  deity  was  supposed  to  enter 
them.  Similarly,  when  the  bread  and  wine  were 
consecrated,  the  Holy  Spirit  was  besought  in  our 
ancient  liturgies  to  perform  the  miracle  of  infusing 


THE  "CHRIST-LIFE"  113 

them  with  the  substance  of  Jesus  Christ ; l  conse- 
quently the  dogma  of  transubstantiation  was  framed 
upon  it.  Similarly,  in  the  baptism  of  infants — who 
can  know  nothing  of  character  and  conduct — 
regeneration  was  supposed  to  apply  equally  with 
them  as  to  adults,  as  stated  in  our  own  Liturgy. 
With  the  new,  i.e.  spiritual,  birth  of  adults,  their 
outward  sign  of  baptism  was  only  the  preliminary 
one.  Other  signs  were  the  subsequent  "works 
of  faith,"  i.e.  their  whole  character  and  conduct, 
namely,  the  "Christ-life"  spent  on  earth.  This 
alone  proves  their  faith  to  be  genuine. 

Another  outward  sign  is  the  "  laying  on  of  hands," 
whether  in  infancy,  at  confirmation,  ordinations, 
etc.  The  hand  can  convey  nothing.  It  is  the  spirit 
alone  in  the  man's  mind  which  the  hand  bears 
witness  to.  It  is  a  dedication  only. 

GOOD  WORKS  AND  WORKS  OF  SUPEREROGA- 
TION.— The  idea  that  good  works  are  meritorious 
and  receive  rewards,  as  if  presented  to  the  doer  by 
God,  as  well  as  the  word  "merit"  itself  (which 
does  not  occur  in  our  Bible),  are  due  to  the 
Vulgate.  In  the  INDEX  BlBLlCUS  texts  are  given 

1  The  question  naturally  arises,  Why  was  not  the  prayer  made  to 
Jesus  Christ  Himself  \u  come  down  and  enter  the  bread  and  wine?

114  THE   VULGATE 

referring  to — Operum  merita  et  retributio  seu  merces 
("  The  merits  of  works,  and  recompense  or  reward  "), 
Ps.  112,  1 1 8,  etc.  Opera  mala  Deo  displicent,  et 
pcenam  merentur  ("  Evil  works  displease  God, 
and  deserve  punishment").  In  the  first  sentence 
retributio  (i.e.  recompense)  and  merces  (reward)  are 
the  rewards  of  good  works;  the  words  propter 
retributionem  occurring  after  the  following,  Inclinavi 
cor  meum  ad  faciendas  justificationes  tuas,  in  the 
Psalm  mentioned,  correspond  to  Si'  avraiJiei'^siv 
in  the  LXX,  a  word  which  does  not  occur  else- 
where, and  means  literally  "  an  exchanging." * 

Another  verse  quoted  is,  Majores  divitias  cestimans 
thesauro  ^Egyptiorum^  improperium  Christi ;  aspicie- 
bat  enim  in  remunerationem?  Several  passages  are 
quoted  from  the  New  Testament,3  but  the  point 
overlooked  is  that  under  the  old  dispensation 
temporal  rewards  and  punishments  were  believed 
to  come  direct  from  Yahweh  on  obedience  or  dis- 


1  "To  requite  or  punish"  is  the  meaning  of  the  verb 

(Lidd.  and  Scott).  This  shows  that  the  Vulgate  was  translated  from 
the  LXX  :  for  these  two  words  are  not  represented  in  our  Hebrew 
text.  Moreover,  the  number  of  the  Psalm,  1 18,  is  that  of  the  LXX, 
but  is  1 19  in  our  version. 

2  Heb.  xi.  26. 

3  E.g.)  Matt.  v.  12  ;  Rom.  ii.  6. 


THE  "CHRIST-LIFE"  115 

obedience  to  His  statutes;  whereas  in  the  New 
Testament  the  word  "reward,"  whether  for  good 
or  bad  deeds,  is  metaphorical  only,  there  being  no 
word  to  express  the  fact  that  they  are  the  results 
of  God's  natural  law  in  the  spiritual  world.  The 
so-called  "  reward  "  of  "  a  good  conscience  towards 
God "  comes  spontaneously  to  the  true  Christian ; 
but  if  he  do  wickedness,  knowing  it  to  be  such, 
then  he  brings  his  own  condemnation  on  his  own 
head. 

A  Christian  is  told  to  be  "  perfect  as  our  heavenly 
Father  is  perfect." 1  St  Paul  strove  to  "  apprehend 
Christ"  ;  his  converts  are  told  "to  put  on  Christ," 
to  strive  for  the  "  crown  of  glory."  Whatever  the 
symbol  may  be,  it  is  to  make  Christ  the  absolute, 
perfect,  ideal  type  to  be  imitated.  This  no  man 
has  ever  yet  attained.  It  is  practically  impossible 
to  acquire  "  the  measure  of  the  stature  of  Christ." 2 
This  being  so,  it  is  obvious  that  no  man,  however 
saint-like,  can  have  done  more  good  works  than 
were  necessary  for  his  salvation.  So  that  "  works 
of  supererogation,"  as  far  as  man  is  concerned,  are 
impossible. 

A  man-made  moral  law  expresses  what  a  man 

1  Matt.  v.  48.  2  Eph.  iv.  13. 


ii6  THE   VULGATE 

ought  to  be.  A  natural  moral  law  stands  for  what 
always  is ;  and  if  all  men  would  live  the  Christ- 
life,  then  all  character  and  conduct  among 
Christians  would  be  the  universal  result  of  a 
natural  law  in  the  heart  of  man.  Man  would  be- 
come what  St  John  calls  "begotten  of  God," 
and  then  he  cannot  sin.  "  Whosoever  abideth  in 
him  sinneth  not.  .  .  .  Whosoever  is  begotten  of 
God  doeth  no  sin,  because  his  seed  abideth  in 
him ;  and  he  cannot  sin,  because  he  is  begotten 
of  God." 1  But  the  Church  went  further,  and  con- 
sidered that  a  man's  good  works  might  be  more 
than  what  God  required  of  him,  notwithstanding 
the  words  of  our  Lord :  "  When  ye  shall  have 
done  all  the  things  that  are  commanded  you,  say, 
We  are  unprofitable  servants,  we  have  done  that 
which  was  our  duty  to  do  " 2 ;  for  that  "  scholastic  " 
spirit  was  still  retained  by  the  Church,  her 
punishments  being  "penance,"  and  her  reward 
"  absolution." 

Of  course  the  Church  appealed  to  Scripture  to 
support  this  idea  of  "supererogation,"  as  it  was 
called.  Thus  St  Paul  says :  "  For  if  I  preach  the 
gospel,  I  have  nothing  to  glory  of;  for  necessity 

1  i  John  iii.  6,  9.  2  Luke  xvii.  10. 


THE  "CHRIST-LIFE"  117 

is  laid  upon  me ;  for  woe  is  unto  me,  if  I  preach 
not  the  gospel,  etc." ; 1  but  he  would  not  be  paid 
for  preaching,  and  asks,  "  What  is  my  reward  ? 
That,  when  I  preach  the  gospel,  I  may  make  the 
gospel  without  charge,  so  as  not  to  use  to  the  full 
my  right  in  the  gospel."  In  the  "  Annotations  " 
on  this  passage  in  the  Rhemes  (R.C.)  Version  we 
find  it  expressed,  "  I  shal  haue  my  reward  of 
God,  yea  and  a  reward  of  supererogation,  which  is 
given  to  them  that  of  aboundant  charitie  doe  more 
in  the  seruice  of  God  than  they  be  commanded, 
as  S.  Augustin  expoundeth  it.  De  op.  Mon.y  c.  5." 
We  may  safely  say,  that  if  St  Paul  could  sub- 
sequently write,  in  this  very  same  chapter,  "  I 
buffet  my  body  ....  lest  by  any  means,  after  that 
I  have  preached  to  others  I  myself  should  be 
rejected,"  he  would  be  the  last  person  to  think 
that  he  had  been  better  than  he  needed!  It  is 
obvious,  as  Dr  Harold  Browne  says,  "  that,  whereas 
he,  as  an  Apostle,  had  a  right  to  be  chargeable 
to  the  Church,  he  had  refused  to  be  so,  that  he 
might  have  the  more  influence  for  good  over  those 
among  whom  he  ministered."  2

ii8  THE   VULGATE 

"But  the  most  cogent  argument  from  Scripture, 
in  favour  of  works  of  supererogation,  is  drawn 
from  the  passages  in  which  our  Lord  and  St  Paul, 
whilst  highly  honouring  marriage,  yet  give  the 
preference  to  a  life  of  celibacy." 1  But  our  Lord  is 
not  alluding  to  merits  of  celibacy,  but  to  physical 
conditions  which  may  require  it ;  while  St  Paul  is 
alluding  to  the  anticipation  of  Christ's  early 
return.2 

1  Op.  cit.,  p.  340.  2  i  Cor.  vii.  29. 


CHAPTER  XVI 

PREDESTINATION   AND   ELECTION 

THESE  terms,  derived  from  the  Vulgate,  are  usually 
combined  to  express  the  title  of  a  dogma  so 
rigidly  condemned  in  our  Seventeenth  Article. 
It  arose  from  a  very  common  mistake  in  inter- 
preting the  Bible,  namely  of  regarding  as  a  direct 
and  immediate  act  of  God  what  is  really  the 
result  of  natural  law.  It  is  akin  to  the  Mahom- 
medan  "  Kismet,"  that  everything  that  happens  is 
the  will  of  Allah.  The  Jews  of  old  thought  Job 
must  have  been  a  wicked  man  to  be  so  directly 
afflicted  by  Yahweh:  an  idea  which  our  Lord 
once  and  for  ever  refuted.1  So,  too,  this  theory 
of  predestination  and  election  places  God's  sup- 
posed and  arbitrary  act  on  another  but  analogous 
footing,  viz.  that — while  his  condemnation  and 

1  Luke  xiii.  4. 
119 


120  THE   VULGATE 

salvation  are  regarded  as  quite  irrespective  of  a 
man's  free-will,  or  of  his  wickedness  or  goodness — 
they  are  solely  due  to  God's  "  selecting "  him  for 
either  hell  or  heaven.  It  is  a  worse  violation  of 
justice  than  was  the  Jewish  conception. 

Now  when  it  is  said  that  the  Christian  conyerts 
were  all "  elected  "  1  or  "  saints  "  2  without  exception, 
as  St  Paul  calls  the  members  of  his  churches,  the 
question  arises,  Who  elected  them?  The  dogma 
says,  God ;  but  the  true  answer  is  the  convert 
elected  himself,  or,  as  we  use  the  word  now,  he 
"  elected  "  to  follow  Jesus.  The  "  calling,"  typified 
by  Christ's  "  fan,"  was  to  test  all  who  will  follow 
Him,  i.e.  those  who  had  faith  enough  to  do  so. 
But  all  who  will  not  prove  themselves  "  fitted  to 
survive,"  i.e.  to  become  saints,  under  this  spiritual 
natural  selection,  are  self -excluded  or  self- 
condemned. 

The  "  chosen  of  God," 3  therefore,  does  not  mean 
chosen  by  God,  but  only  that  they  now  "  belong 
to,"  or  are,  as  St  John  says,  "begotten"  of  God. 
"Chosen"  means  the  "choice"  ones,  the  "select" 
or  "  elect "  of  God.  They  become  e/cAe/cro/  by  their 

1  i  Pet.  i.  i,  2,  Electis  ....  secundum  prascientiam  Dei,  etc. 

2  Rom.  i.  7,  etc.  3  i  Cor.  i.  27,  28. 


PREDESTINATION    AND   ELECTION   121 

own  willing  and  faithful  obedience.  So  Christ  was 
called  6  e/cXe/cro?  TOV  Oeov,  but  the  Messiah  was  not 
chosen  or  selected  out  of  candidates. 

Connected  with  the  foregoing  theory  is  the 
mistaken  sense  of  "  saved,"  viz.  the  Old  Testament 
meaning  of  "salvation,"  £*.  "safe,"  whereas  the 
Christian  meaning  is  "health."  Instead  of  "saved 
from  hell,"  salvation  now  means  the  perfect  char- 
acter void  of  sin. 

The  Scriptural  apparent  support  of  this  strange 
dogma  is  to  be  found  in  the  ninth  chapter  of 
St  Paul's  Epistle  to  the  Romans.  It  is  clear, 
however,  that  the  Apostle  was  labouring  under 
the  difficulty  of  explaining  how  —  if  man  be 
responsible  for  his  own  wickedness,  as  stated  or 
implied  everywhere  in  his  epistles — God  could  also 
determine  that  some  men  and  some  nations  only 
should  become  Christian ;  while  others  would 
remain  unchristianised.  He  could  not  express 
himself  in  modern  scientific  language,  but  only  in 
the  phraseology  of  the  day,  in  which  God  was 
believed  to  do  everything;  but  all  he  means  to 
imply  really  is  the  "  calling "  and  the  letting  men 
or  people  who  hear  the  Gospel  for  the  first  time, 
"  elect "  to  become  Christians  of  their  own  free-will. 


122  THE  VULGATE 

As  an  old  example  of  the  way  men  spoke,  we 
find  it  said  in  Proverbs,1  "  The  Lord  hath  made 
everything  for  its  own  end  ;  yea,  even  the  wicked 
for  the  day  of  evil  "  ;  so  it  is  said  God  raised  up 
Pharaoh  in  order  to  show  His  power,  etc.2  But,  as 
if  to  avoid  his  words  being  misunderstood,  St  Paul 
gives  the  reason  why  "  Israel  did  not  arrive  at  the 
law  of  righteousness,"3  i.e.  to  become  Christian, 
because  "  they  sought  it  not  by  faith,  but  as  it  were 
by  works.  ...  He  that  believeth  [i.e.  hath  faith] 
on  him  shall  not  be  put  to  shame."  The  result, 
therefore,  of  not  being  adopted  into  the  family  of 
God  is  entirely  due  to  Israel's  own  perversity,  not 
to  God.

3  Rom.  ix.  20. 


CHAPTER  XVII 
SALVATION 

THIS  word,  which  is  now  recognised  as  the  funda- 
mental term  in  Christian  theology,  had  a  very 
insignificant  origin ;  for  salvatio  only  occurs  three 
times  in  the  Vulgate.  Thus  in  a  psalm  of  David 
we  read,  "  He  is  a  strong  hold  of  salvation  to  his 
anointed." x  David  had  previously  called  Him 
"  his  strength  and  shield,"  and  concludes,  "  Save 
thy  people,  and  bless  thine  inheritance." 

Joel  has  the  sentence,  In  Jerusalem  erit  salvatio ; 
corresponding  to  which  the  R.V.  has,"  In  Jerusalem 
there  shall  be  those  that  escape."2 

Lastly,  Habakkuk  says  in  a  metrical  prayer : — 
"  Thou  didst  ride  upon  thine  horses, 

Upon  thy  chariots  of  salvation. 

Thy  bow  was  made  quite  bare."  3 
He  thus  represents  Yahweh  as  a  warrior. 

1  Ps.  xxviii.  7-9.  2  Joel  ii.  32.  3  Hab.  iii.  8. 

123 


124  THE   VULGATE 

"  Saviour "  and  "  salvation  "  often  occur  in  the 
English  Bible  in  the  Old  Testament,  but  almost 
invariably  refer  to  safety  from  enemies,  afflictions, 
etc.  The  LXX  has  (rwTqp,  crwTtjpia,  and  the  n.  adj. 
crwTijpiov.  These  correspond  to  salvator,  salus^  and 
salutare  in  the  Vulgate. 

In  the  Gospels  and  Acts  the  old  idea  is  often 
retained,  meaning  "safety."  Hence  we  see  its 
applicability  in  the  song  of  Zacharias :  "  He  hath 
raised  up  a  horn  of  salvation  for  us  in  the  house 
of  his  servant  David,  ....  salvation  from  our 
enemies,  and  from  the  hand  of  all  that  hate  us." 
It  represents  the  implicit  trust  felt  in  a  great 
general,  just  as  in  Habakkuk's  prayer. 

In  the  Epistles  the  meaning  of  salus,  translated 
"  salvation,"  meant  "  health  of  the  soul,"  equivalent 
to  a  holy  life.  This  is  what  Christ  secures  for  us ; 
it  is  not  "safety  from  hell"  which  is  meant,  for 
"  He  came  to  save  His  people  from  their  sins" 

The  Church,  however,  by  regarding  Christ  as  a 
saviour  from  hell,  places  "  salvation  "  as  the  result 
of  the  concrete  sacrifice  of  His  body  and  blood. 
The  work  of  salvation  is  thus  supposed  to  have 
been  wrought  entirely  by  our  Lord  "instead  of" 
man. 


SALVATION  125 

This  doctrine  is  strongly  emphasised  by  Anselm 
in  his  Cur  Deus  Homo.  He  often  uses  the  words 
salus,  salvus^  salvare,  and  salvari.  Thus  in  bk.  ii. 
ch.  v.,  Boso  asks  the  question,  "  How  shall  we 
impute  our  salvation  to  His  free  grace  if  He  saves 
us  of  necessity  ?  " 

The  word  "  salvation  "  came  into  use  about  the 
twelfth  century  (just  after  the  time  of  Anselm),  and 
had  then  both  meanings  :  "  safety,"  and  "  salvation  " 
or  "  health  "  of  the  soul.  "  Salvation  "  frequently 
occurs  in  Chaucer  (fourteenth  century),  as  in  the 
oath  "  by  my  savacion  "  l  in  the  Manciple's  Prologue 
in  the  Canterbury  Tales. 

Tracing  the  later  history  of  the  word  "  salvation," 
it  appears  that  in  the  Anglo-Saxon  and  in  Wiclifs 
Bible  it  does  not  occur;  the  word  "health,"  a 
meaning  of  salus  ^  uniformly  represents  the  Greek 


Tyndale  (1534)  is  the  first  writer  to  insert 
"salvation,"  in  one  passage  only.2  We  thus  see 
the  source  of  the  word  "  salvation,"  being  first  used 
in  the  sixteenth  century. 

1  Savacion  and  salvation  were  the  French  spellings  in  the  twelfth 
century. 

2  John  iv.  22. 


126  THE   VULGATE 

Myles  Coverdale  followed  him  (1535).  He,  too, 
adopts  it  in  this  same  text,  but  adds  two  more  in 
the  Gospels,1  and  replaces  the  word  "  health  "  by 
"salvation"  in  the  Epistles.  Henceforth  all  the 
subsequent  versions  of  the  Bible  followed  suit ;  and 
so  salvation  has  passed  into  our  A.V.  and  R.V., 
and  has  become  the  most  important  term  of 
Christianity  itself.2

CHAPTER  XVIII 

DOCTRINE  AND   CREED 

DOCTRINE,  in  its  Latin  form  doctrina,  means  "teach- 
ing," and  is  used  in  the  Vulgate  for  tiiSacricaXia  (the 
substance  of  teaching)  and  &<5a%r;  (the  act  of 
teaching)  ;  not  at  all  what  we  now  understand  by 
ecclesiastical  "doctrines"  or  "dogmas."  When 
St  Paul  determined  not  to  know  anything  among 
the  Corinthians  but  "Jesus  Christ  and  him 
crucified,"  he  did  not  call  upon  them  to  believe 
doctrines  about  our  Lord,  but  \htfacts  of  His  life 
and  death  and  their  effects  upon  man.  Doctrines, 
in  the  modern  sense  of  the  word,  did  not  exist  in 
the  first  century. 

In  the  INDEX  BIBLICUS  to  the  Vulgate,  s.v. 
Doctrina,  we  find  a  number  of  texts  referred  to  in 
the  Gospels  and  Epistles  ;  but  they  all  refer  to  what 

may   be    called    teachings    and    exhortations    to 

127 


128  THE  VULGATE 

Christian  conduct,  i.e.  a  pure  and  Christ-like  life, 
etc.,  which  is  the  sum  and  substance  of  the  preach- 
ing and  teaching  of  St  Paul  and  the  other  Apostles. 

This  change  of  meaning  grew  up  with  another, 
viz.  that  of  Trionrewo,  to  the  false  rendering  of 
credo,  "  I  believe."  For,  since  the  Scriptures 
emphasise  the  fact  that  there  is  no  "  salvation  "  in 
the  Christian  sense  without  "  faith  " — i.e.  a  heartfelt 
loyalty  to  Christ's  person  and  teaching,  with  an 
outward  and  visible  witness  to  faith  in  a  Christ-life, 
or  life  of  character  and  conduct — so  when  7no-rei;a> 
came  to  be  represented  as  credo,  doctrina  followed 
suit,  and  to  believe  in  doctrines  came  to  be  regarded 
as  the  sole  necessity  of  eternal  salvation.1 

Probably  no  word  has  brought  more  disasters  in 
its  train  than  the  Latin  word  credo,  the  translation 
in  the  Vulgate  of  -THOTWO).  This  Greek  word  has 
two  senses  :  to  believe  with  the  head,  as  in  saying, 
"If  any  man  shall  say  unto  you, '  Lo,  here  is  the 
Christ,'  or  '  Here ' ;  believe  it  not "  2 ;  but  by  far  the 
oftener  it  signifies  to  "  have  faith "  in  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,3  especially  in  St  John's  Gospel. 
Fortunately  Wort?  is  always  represented  \>y  fides, 

*iAs  emphasised  in  the  Athanasian  Creed. 

2  Matt.  xxiv.  23.  3  Actsxvi.  31. 


DOCTRINE    AND   CREED  129 

hence  our  "  faith."  The  only  word  which 
approaches  Trio-revoo  is  fido,  a  late  Latin  word 
derived  from,  or  of  the  same  etymology  as, 
-jreiOcDy  translated  by  "believe"  in  the  only  three 
passages  where  this  word  occurs.1  Fido  has 
given  us  "con-fide,"  or  trust,  in  anyone. 

Credo  had  the  following  meanings  : — "  to  loan," 
hence  our  "  creditor  "  and  "  credit "  ;  "  to  entrust " ; 
"  to  confide  "  in  a  person  ;  to  give  "  credence  "  to  an 
assertion,  or  to  believe  ;  to  "  admit  as  true,'"  or  to 
"  be  of  an  opinion."  Hence  credulitas,  "  credulity  " 
and  "  credulous,"  etc.  The  word  is  thus  seen  to  be 
quite  devoid  of  all  religious  significance,  and  so 
came  to  mean  the  mere  believing  dogmas  to  be 
true. 

Faith,  on  the  other  hand,  is  a  loyalty  to  Christ's 
Person,  as  He  is  the  Way,  the  Truth,  and  the  Life, 
coupled  with  the  determination  to  live  the  Christ- 
life  on  earth.  It  involves  the  emotion  of  love. 

What  has  been  the  consequence  ?  The  Church 
has  emphasised  the  importance  of  accepting  or 
believing  whatever  has  been  promulgated  as 
"  doctrine,"  so  that  we  are  told  whoever  does  not 
believe  the  "Catholic  faith,"  by  which  is  meant 

1  Acts  xvii.  4,  xxvii.  n,  xxviii.  24. 


130  THE   VULGATE 

"  doctrine,"  of  the  Trinity  will  perish  everlast- 
ingly. Moreover,  all  the  horrible  iniquities  of  the 
Inquisition  have  followed  upon  the  one  word — 
Credit*  ! 

If  the  reader  will  substitute  "  have  faith  in" 
wherever  he  reads  "believe  in  Jesus,"  he  will 
discover  not  only  a  new,  but  the  true,  meaning  of 
Scripture. 

Let  us  take  for  an  example  the  words  of  St  Paul 
to  the  jailer  at  Philippi.  The  words  in  the  Bible 
are,  "  Believe  on  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  thou  shalt 
be  saved."  l  We  turn  to  the  Vulgate  and  find  it 
rendered,  Crede  in  Dominum  Jesum,  et  salvus  eris 
tu  et  domus  tua. 

We  see,  therefore,  that  our  Bible  is  a  literal 
translation  from  the  Vulgate,  whereas  the  Greek  is 
Tllcrrcvarov  e-TTi  TOV  KJ/otov  'Iqcrovv  Xpurrov,  ic.T.X. 
What  our  Lord  invariably  demanded  of  His  hearers 
was  not  "  belief,"  butfaM. 

The  Church,  however,  constructing  its  dogmas 
from  the  Vulgate,  exalted  "  belief"  to  a  position  of 
all-importance  to  which  it  had  no  sort  of  title ; 
and  by  enforcing  the  acceptance  of  dogmas, 
converted  "belief"  into  mere  "credulity."  The 

1  Acts  xvi.  31. 


DOCTRINE   AND   CREED  131 

Protestant  Church  has  similarly  suffered;  so  that 
the  cry  of  the  revivalists  of  the  middle  of  the  last 
century  was,  "  Believe  or  be  damned ! "  and  they 
interpreted  the  above  words  of  St  Paul  as  meaning, 
"  Believe  in  Jesus,  that  He  died  instead  of  you,  and 
you  will  be  safe  for  ever."  Three  errors  are  here 
involved:  believe  should  be  "have  faith";  instead 
of  you  for  "on  behalf  of  you";  and  safe  instead 
of  "you  must  work  out  your  own  salvation,"  i.e. 
spiritual  health. 

If  we  turn  to  the  Hebrew  of  the  Old  Testament, 
the  Hebrew  verb  aman,  rendered  in  English  "  to 
believe,"  primarily  means  "to  support"  or  "to 
sustain " ;  and  as  "  salvation "  in  the  Old  Testa- 
ment was  primarily  the  "  rescuing  "  from  an  enemy 
or  from  afflictions  of  any  kind  by  Yahweh,  thus 
securing  safety  and  peace,  so  trust  in  Yahweh 
was  based  upon  the  belief  that  He  would  sustain 
His  own  people  Israel. 

This  Hebrew  word  aman  is  specially  used  for 
"  supporting  with  the  arm,"  as  in  carrying  a  child.1 
Hence,  intransitively,  it  came  to  be  used  as 
signifying  "to  be  stayed  up"  or  "to  be  firm"; 
hence,  metaphorically,  "  to  be  faithful " ;  and  the 

1  Num.  xi.  12  ;  Isa.  Ix.  4. 


132  THE   VULGATE 

noun  emunah  is  consequently  rendered  by  "  faith- 
fulness" (R.V.)  as  an  alternative  to  "truth"  (A.V.). 

The  first  occasion  where  belief  in  God  is 
mentioned  is  where  it  is  said  of  Abram :  "  He 
believed  (amari)  in  the  Lord  ;  and  he  counted  it  to 
him  for  righteousness."  * 

In  the  Epistle  to  the  Hebrews,  Abraham  is  said 
to  have  had  faith?  There  was  no  "sign"  from 
God,  but  simply  Abram's  heartfelt  trust  in  God. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  children  of  Israel  are 
said  to  have  "believed  the  Lord  and  his  servant 
Moses  "  because  of  the  signs.3 

Similarly,  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses,  "  Lo,  I 
come  unto  thee  in  a  thick  cloud,  that  the  people 
may  hear  when  I  speak  with  thee,  and  may  also 
believe  thee  for  ever.  "  4 

So  our  Lord  said  to  the  nobleman,  "  Unless  ye 
see  signs  and  wonders,  ye  will  not  believe."  5 

Whereas  he  said  of  Abraham  that  he  "  rejoiced 
to  see  my  day."6  May  not  this  mean  that 
Abraham's  faith  was  based  on  a  firm  conviction 
in  the  truth  of  Yahweh's  character,  and  not  based 
on  merely  outward  proof  by  signs,  etc.  ?  For  this 

1  Gen.  xv.  6.  *  Heb.  xi.  8.  »  Ex.  xiv.  31. 

4  Ex.  xix.  9.  §  John  ir.  48.  •  John  viii.  56. 


DOCTRINE   AND   CREED  133 

is  exactly  what  our  Lord  insisted  upon  as  proof 
that  He  Himself  was  one  with  God,  namely,  His 
Personality,  that  He  was  the  Way,  the  Truth,  and 
the  Life. 

Christ  elsewhere  said  the  God  of  Abraham 
was  not  the  God  of  the  dead  but  of  the  "  living  "  ; 
hence  he  could  see  or  know  that  Christ  had  come 
into  the  world,  and  advocating  that  kind  of  faith 
of  which  he  had  been  so  conspicuous  an  example.1 

But  the  word  "faith"  is  not  prominent  in  the 
Old  Testament,  and  is  replaced  by  its  more 
appropriate  meaning  of  "faithfulness."  This  is 
rendered  by  WO-T*?  in  the  LXX,  as  in  the  ex- 
pression, " The  just  shall  live  by  his  faithfulness"  ; 
such  is  better  than  "by  his  faith"  (A.V.).2 

In  the  Apocrypha  TrtWi?  generally  means  "  faith- 
fulness," but  is  sometimes  translated  by  other 
words,  as :  "  Whoso  discovereth  secrets  loseth  his 
credit" \*  "A  wise  man  shall  inherit  glory  among 
his  people  " ;  *  "  True  dealing  shall  endure  for  ever."  5 

If  we  turn  to  ancient  Greek  writers,  irurreveiv 
first  meant  simply  "  to  believe "  anything,  as  a 

1  St  Paul  declares  a  Christian's  faith  is  the  same  as   that   of 
Abraham  (Rom.  iv.  16).

man's  word,  etc.  So  we  read, "  It  is  hard  to  be- 
lieve "  so  and  so.1  Euripides  has  "  Believe  my 
word " ;  he  uses  the  verb  in  the  sense  "  to  feel 
sure "  or  "  confident "  that  anything  is,  was,  or 
will  be.  Herodotus,  as  far  as  is  known,  was  the 
first  writer  to  use  the  verb  as  relying  on  a  person?' 
It  is  thus  equivalent  to  the  Hebrew  aman. 

The  primary  meaning  of  Trio-reva)  is  "  to  believe 
a  thing  to  be  true,"  "  to  place  confidence  in  one's 
words";  but  this  verb  acquired  a  special  moral 
and  religious  sense  in  Christianity.  It  is  an 
absolute  trust  in  Jesus,  seen  in  perfect  loyalty  to 
Him  as  our  great  Master,  first  seen  in  a  firm  faith 
in  His  miraculous  powers,  as  by  the  woman  in 
the  crowd,  who  touched  the  hem  of  His  garment. 

But  most  especially  is  the  faith  in  Jesus  as 
the  Messiah,  the  author  of  the  means  of  salvation 
in  the  kingdom  of  heaven.  This  conception  was 
not  that  of  the  Jews  in  general,  but  the  elevated 
type  of  religious  faith  depicted  in  the  Old  Testa- 
ment, of  the  servant  of  Yahweh,  the  true  Israelite, 
which  found  its  ideal  in  Jesus  Christ  alone.  ILWi? 
in  the  New  Testament  carries  this  same  meaning 
as  Triarrevew.  And  as  faith  in  Jesus  holds  possession 

1  Thuc.,  i.  20.  2  Herod.,  i.  24,  etc. 


DOCTRINE   AND   CREED  135 

of  the  soul  it  necessarily  leads  to  obedience ;  hence 
a  man  with  pure  faith  in  Christ  is  said  viraKoveiv  TQ 
Tritrrei.  And  so  "faith  without  works  is  dead." 
Faith  and  works  together  constitute  Christian 
righteousness,1  or  "  faith  working  through  love  "  2  ; 
and,  as  Paul  said  to  the  Thessalonians  :  "  Remem- 
bering without  ceasing  your  work  of  faith  and 
labour  of  love."3 

In  St  James's  epistle  we  see  the  effort  to  dis- 
tinguish "  faith  "  from  "  belief."  As  faith  with  works 
is  true  faith,  faith  without  works  is  false  faith,  or, 
as  now,  distinguished  as  belief.  "  The  devils,"  he 
says,  "  believe  and  tremble  "  ;  but  we  could  not  now 
say  that  they  have  faith.  St  James  has  only 
7r/(TT£9  and  TTujTeveiv  for  both. 

CONCLUSION. — As  stated  at  the  commencement, 
several  dogmas  of  the  Church  are  not  referred  to, 
as  being  later  "  developments,"  for  which  it  would 
be  hard  to  find  any  support,  either  from  the  Greek 
or  Latin  versions  of  the  New  Testament.  But 
those  I  have  dealt  with  seem  to  me  to  be  the 
most  important  as  far  as  our  own  Protestant 
Church  is  concerned.

136  THE   VULGATE 

I  trust  these  descriptions  of  the  doctrinal  terms 
will  have  made  it  clear  to  any  minds,  in  which  the 
mediaeval  and  erroneous  ideas  are  still  retained  un- 
consciously, that  their  want  is  Scriptural  authority. 
By  clearing  the  mind  of  these  false  influences,  the 
true  teaching  (not  doctrine  or  dogma)  of  Jesus 
Christ  and  His  Apostles  will  be  found  to  be  all 
one  requires,  viz.  faith  and  works,  i.e.  loyalty  to  His 
person  and  teaching  proved  by  living  His  life. 
Such  only  is  salvation.

Vol.  I.  The  Rise  of  the  Religion. 

Vol.  II.  The  Development  of  the  Church. 

Dr.  Marcus  Dods  in  the  British  Weekly — "  We  cannot  recall  any  work  by 
a  foreign  theologian  which  is  likely  to  have  a  more  powerful  influence  on  the 
thought  of  this  country  than  Wernle's  Beginnings  of  Christianity.  It  is  well 
written  and  well  translated  ;  it  is  earnest,  clear,  and  persuasive,  and  above  all 
it  is  well  adapted  to  catch  the  large  class  of  thinking  men  who  are  at  present 
seeking  some  non-miraculous  explanation  of  Christianity."

WHAT  IS  CHRISTIANITY?  Sixteen  Lectures  delivered  in 
the  University  of  Berlin  during  the  Winter  Term,  1899-1900.  By 
Adolf  Harnack.  Translated  by  Thomas  Bailey  Saunders.  (New 
Series,  Vol.  XIV.)  Demy  8vo,  cloth,  IO.T.  6d.  ;  can  only  be 
supplied  when  complete  set  of  the  New  Series  is  ordered. 

Prof.  W.  Sanday  of  Oxford,  in  the  examination  of  the  work,  says  : — "  I  may 
assume  that  Harnack's  book,  which  has  attracted  a  good  deal  of  attention  in  this 
country  as  in  Germany,  is  by  this  time  well  known,  and  that  its  merits  are 
recognised — its  fresh  and  vivid  descriptions,  its  breadth  of  view  and  skilful 
selection  of  points,  its  frankness,  its  genuine  enthusiasm,  its  persistent  effort  to 
get  at  the  living  realities  of  religion." 

"Seldom  has  a  treatise  of  the  sort  been  at  once  so  suggestive  and  so 
stimulating.  Seldom  have  the  results  of  so  much  learning  been  brought  to  bear 
on  the  religious  problems  which  address  themselves  to  the  modern  mind."— 
Pilot. 

"In  many  respects  this  is  the  most  notable  work  of  Prof.  Harnack.  .  .  . 
These  lectures  are  most  remarkable,  both  for  the  historical  insight  they  display 
and  for  their  elevation  of  tone  and  purpose." — Literature.

"  It  will  be  seen  from  what  has  been  said  that  this  book  is  a  very  important 
one.  .  .  .  The  translation  is  also  exceedingly  well  done." — Critical  Review. 

"  We  trust  the  book  will  be  widely  read,  and  should  advise  those  who  read  it 
to  do  so  twice." — Primitive  Methodist  Quarterly.

stand Professor  Harnack,  not  to  understand  Luke  ;  and  the  study  is  well  worth 
the  time  and  work.  Personally,  I  feel  specially  interested  in  the  question  of

Library  Edition,  28^.  net. 

"  It  is  not  too  much  to  say  that  we  close  this  book,  the  most  interesting,  and 
certainly  one  of  the  most  important  we  have  ever  opened,  feeling  better,  wiser, 
and  humbler  for  having  thus  hastily  read  it." — Academy. 

"It  is  a  book  for  all  men  and  for  all  time.  In  its  pages  the  thinker  may 
trace,  step  by  step,  the  synthesis  of  synthetic  philosophy.  Here  the  poet  will 
find  not  only  a  worthy  inspiration,  but  a  possibly  surprising  vein  of  sympathy. 
The  statesman,  the  inventor,  the  litterateur,  the  man  of  theory,  and  the  man  of 
practice  will  find  alike,  within  the  covers  of  these  two  massive  volumes,  an 
almost  inexhaustible  treasury  of  interest  and  constructive  thought.  There  is 
suggestion  and  instruction  for  all  the  world,  and  an  almost  indefinable  fascina- 
tion— whether  it  be  due  to  the  mere  intrinsic  beauty  of  the  picture  itself,  or  to 
the  dignity  of  its  execution,  or  to  the  sense  of  its  almost  laborious  faithfulness, 
or  to  the  combined  attraction  of  all  three." — St.  James's  Gazette.

originally  contributed  by  their  author  to  the  Figaro.  Written  at  fever  heat 
immediately  after  the  great  1870  war,  they  show  Daudet's  power  in  many  ways 
at  its  highest.  .  .  .  We  therefore  do  more  than  recommend — we  urge  all 
readers  of  French  to  get  the  stories  in  some  form,  and  the  present  one  is  both 
good  and  cheap." — The  Schoolmaster.

Sir  Oliver  Lodge  would  make  him  realise  that  there  are  problems  on  the  inner 
side  of  the  school  door  not  dreamt  of  in  his  philosophy — would  make  him  feel 
that  the  more  he  knows  of  these  the  better  will  he  be  able  wisely  to  handle  those
