Here Stieren gave from Dr. Cramer’s Catena [whence Mr. Harvey gathered it into his edition ii. 510] the words, The god of the world, called god by the unbelievers, i.e., Satan. But Dr. Cramer’s Catena (v. 373) cites S. Chrysostom saying, i.e., God blinded the minds of the unbelieving of this world, for the world to come hath no unbelief [from S. Chrysostom’s Hom. 8. on the second Epistle to the Corinthians,] and adds immediately after, Irenæus too saith the same. Dr. Cramer in the same volume p. 479 quotes just the same words from the Bodleian Ms. Misc. 185. The reference to S. Irenæus will belong to his Book 3, chap. 7 § 1, above page 217, where after giving the text in this from he adds, of the unbelieving of this world he saith that they shall not inherit the future age of incorruption. The words which Stieren took from Dr. Cramer are those which follow the words, Irenæus too saith the same, they are attributed by the Paris Ms. Cod. 224, a tenth century Ms., to S. Cyril in the beginning of his first book against Julian, and Œcumenius’ published Catena, p. 520, Verona, 1532, says much the same; they belong to that work p. 6 B.
