⁴ 1 Cor. xiii. 3.

⁵ S. Luke x. 40-42. The reading which Cassian here follows is found in )

b.c., 2 but has not much Latin authority. It is however followed by Jerome Ep: ad Eustochium, xxii. 24, though the Vulgate has simply Porro unum est necessarium. For Mary as the type of the contemplative life, and Martha of the practical, compare S. Gregory the Great. Moralia VI. c. xxviii.

³⁶ The punctuation which Cassian here mentions only to reject and which is rightly characterized by Alford as "worse than silly," is also mentioned by Theophylact. Com. in loc.

³⁷ S. John iii. 13.

³⁸ Augustine (De Haeres. e. lix.) speaks of "Seleuciani" or "Hermiani" as denying a visible Paradise, and a future resurrection and again in c. lxxxiii. he speaks of some Arabian heretics, as teaching that the soul died and was dissolved (dissolvi) with the body and that it would at the end of the world be revived and rise again. These were the heretics of whom Eusebius speaks in his Eccl. History Book VI.. c. xxxvii., where he tells us that they were successfully refuted by Origen. It is probably to this last error that Cassian is here making allusion.
