Antioch was the First who in the Year 413 inserted the Name of S. Chrysostom into the Diptychs and who by that means was re-admitted to communicate with Pope Innocent Acacius of Beraea likewise received Letters of Communion from the Pope upon condition that he should not shew any hatred against S. Chrysostom afterwards About the Year 428. Atti●●s Bishop of Constantinople inserted the Name of S. Chrysostom into the Diptychs and exhorted S. Cyril of Alexandri● to do the same This Bishop scrupled it at first But at last 〈◊〉 Is●odore Pelusiota persuaded him to do it Thus all the Churches did right to the Memory of S. Chrysostom and Peace 〈◊〉 ●estored The Number of S. Chrysostom's Works is 〈◊〉 great that the Ancient Criticks durst not pretend to make a Catalogue of them S. Is●odore and 〈◊〉 look'd upon it as almost impossible George and Nicephorus say that he composed above a Thousand Volumes Suidas and ●●ss●●dorus affirm that he wrote Commentaries upon the ●… From all which it is evident that how many soever of S. Chrysostom's Works are ●… they are fewer than they have been and so much the rather because among those that we have some are none of his though they bear his Name The 65 Homilies upon Genesis are the First of S Chrysostom's Commentaries of the Bible according to the Order of the sacred Books the Thirty two first were preached in Lent in the third Year of his being Bishop This Subject was ●●terrupted by the Festivals for he was to preach upon the Passion of Jesus Christ. After Easter he undertook to expound the Acts of the Apostles and was near a Year about that Work Afterwards he betook himself to his former Task and finished his Exposition of Genesis in Thirty four Homilies These Homilies are Commentaries upon Genesis rather than Sermons And he applies himself particularly to explain the Text of Scripture literally The Examples of Vertues or Vices spoken of in the Text which he expounds are commonly the Subject of his Homilies The Style is plain and without those Figures and Ornaments which are to be found in his other Sermons The Nine Sermons of S. Chrysostom upon single passages of Genesis are more florid and contain more moral Thoughts The First is upon the first Words of Genesis In the Beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth in it he treats of Fasting and Alms-deeds The Second is upon these Words of the first Chapter v. 26. Let us make Man after our own Image There he gives the reason why Moses speaking of the Creation of Man uses the Expression God said Let us make whereas he said of the Creation of other things God said Let them be And there he shews wherein this Resemblance with God consists In the Third he makes some further Reflexions upon Man being like God and upon the Dominion given to him over other Creatures and there he answers the Question Why Beasts fall upon and kill Man and confesses that it is because Man by Sin has lost the Empire he had over them S. Austin quotes this Homily in his First Book against Julian and produces a passage out of it to prove Original sin In the Fourth the three kinds of servitude which Mankind is fallen into by sin are discoursed of which are the Subjection of the Wife to her Husband that of one Man to another and that of Subjects to their Princes He insists much upon this last and occasionally speaks of the Attention Men ought to give to Sermons In the Fifth he shews that those who live well purchase their Liberty and declaims against those that refuse to assist the Poor The Sixth Seventh and Eighth are concerning the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. In the First he shews that Adam knew Good and Evil before he tasted the Fruit of that Tree In the Second he says that it is so called because Evil is more perfectly known after Commission there he also explains those Words of our Saviour to the good Thief This Day shalt thou be with me in Paradise The Third is about God's forbidding Man to eat of the Fruit of the Tree The Ninth is upon the Names of Abraham and Noah where he discourses of brotherly Correction The Tenth Homily upon Genesis in the English Edition is not genuine it has the same Preface with the Third Homily upon David and Saul it is written in a swelling Style and full of Metaphors and quite different from the first Part. The following Sermons are upon the History of Hannah Samuel's Mother in the first Book of Samuel but it treats of several Subjects The Preface to the First is upon the Fast of the last Lent and upon the Sermons which he had made since against the Gentiles and after Flavianus his return upon the Feasts of the Martyrs and against swearing After this he resumes the Subject of Providence which he was entred upon he demonstrates That it is God who gave unto Man the knowledge of the things which he ought to know That sickness and death have their use He takes notice that the Love which Parents have for their Children is an effect of Providence and that Mothers are not less concerned in the Education of their Children than Fathers And upon occasion of this last Reflection he relates the History of Hannah and he speaks of it in the following Sermon and thereupon he Discourses of Moderation of Modesty and the Reverence due to Priests and of Grace before and after Meat In the Third he speaks of the Obligation which lies upon Men to give their Children good Education In the Fourth upon the second Part of Hannah's Song he reproves those who neglect Divine Service to go to Plays and publick Shows and discourses of the usefulness of Prayer In the Fifth he shews their Errour who go to Church only upon great Festival Days He expounds the rest of Hannah's Hymns and he speaks of the Advantage of Wealth above Poverty These five Discourses were preached by S. Chrysostom in Antioch about Whitsuntide after Flavianus his Return In this last Sermon he mentions a Discourse upon the first Part of Hannah's Hymn not extant There are three Sermons about David and Saul In the first after a Declamation against those that frequent Plays to the neglect of Holy Worship and a Declaration that they should be excommunicated he treats of patience and forgiving of Enemies proposing for an Example David's Action who would not kill Saul though God had delivered him into his Hands In the second that Action is commended and preferred before all the other great Actions of that King He prosecutes the same Argument in the third Discourse where he also complains of those that were given to Plays He observes that it is as great an Act of Vertue to bear an Injury patiently as to give Alms. At the End of these there is another Sermon against Idleness which hath no relation to the Rest. The Homilies upon the Psalms are Commentaries rather
