The Syriac ms. introduces
this quotation as follows: “From the holy Irenæus Bp. of Lyons,
from the first section of his interpretation of the Song of
Songs.” | therefore, by means of this which has been
already brought forth a long time since, the Word has assigned an
interpretation. We are convinced that there exist [so to speak] two men
in each one of us. The one is confessedly a hidden thing, while the other
stands apparent; one is corporeal, the other spiritual; although the
generation of both may be compared to that of twins. For both are
revealed to the world as but one, for the soul was not anterior to the
body in its essence; nor, in regard to its formation, did the body
precede the soul: but both these were produced at one time; and their
nourishment consists in purity and sweetness.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
