Note 227 — Chapter XXVIII

Omitte mirari beatæ Fumum et opes strepitumque Romæ. (Horace.)

[228] Προέκοψε: literally, "made progress." The aorist may refer to the event of the First Advent, when our eternal Sun was heralded by Himself the Morning Star. But perhaps it is best represented by the English perfect, as in the A.V. and above.

[229] Περιπατήσωμεν: perhaps the aorist suggests a new outset in the "walk."

[230] From this point to the close of the chapter the writer has used, with modifications, passages from a Sermon (No. iii.) in his volume entitled Christ is All.
