314 OF THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE CHAPTER SECOND. OF THE SXXszrn Kuoi'a, TO WHOM THE SECOND, AND OF Taiog, TO WHOM THE THIRD EPISTLE IS WRIT- TEN. /. Of the hJ-.i-KTri Kyw« in the former Epistle. Even the ancients differed in opinion respecting this lady.^^ Some believed, that here was meant some Christian matron or other, whose name was either 'E'/Skr/tTri or KvoiaP But others,^''^ either because they found it unbecoming that the Apostle should write to a lady,^^ or, perhaps, in order to make this epistle of more importance, and more fit to appear in the collection of Catholic epistles, maintained, (being favoured at least, although not war- ranted, by comparing with 1 Pet. v. 13,^6 that St. sage- ^^ See Schol. Matthäi, p. 232, and CEcumenius on this pas- ^' This opinion we find in the uTo^nris of the 2nd Epistle in JVlatthai, p. 150, also in the Synops. Script. S. and in CEcu- menius on this passage. ^* See Clemens in the Adumbrat., where we read : significat autem electionem Ecclesiae Sanctse. St. Jerome, Ep. XI. ad Ageruchiam. The Schol. Matthäi, p. 151, on ver. 1, and Cassiodorus on Ep. ii. ^'* Here may be mentioned the Apologetical remark of CEcu- menius : nôs 01 yvvettxa 'y^d(pisov '?r:Trfiv ouäiv v-reffTsiXaro, ort i* X^.

SECOND AND THE THIRD EPISTLE. 315 John, by this appellation, denotes some particular congregation, which is not more precisely designated, or the Christian church in general.)^^ Xhe last opinion, fanciful and untenable as it is, and manifestly an offspring of the allegorical interpretation of the ancients, has still, amongst modern authors, met with many friends and protectors, ^^ who partly have gone even further than its inventors, the ancients. It is believed, that, because it is in every way diffi- cult, more precisely to determine the name of the Christian matron ;— because, ver. 5, %«/ i/Dv sooj-oj 6i, zvîc/.,—/Va dya'rrojfMsv dX/J/Xou;, is liable to be misun- derstood by scoffers, and seems to offend against decorum ; — and because it cannot well be conceived how a mere note to an individual Christian matron could liave been received into the collection of Catholic epistles ; it would be much more reasonable to sup- pose, that the epistle either was addressed to the Christian church generally, or, being too brief, and too individual for such a purpose, to a particular Christian congregation, perhaps to the congrega^tion est— ad qiiandam Babyloniam Electam nomine," unless he alluded to 1 Pet. v. 13 ? ^" The latter is maintained by St. Jerome, the former by ( 'assiodorus, who says : Joannes Senior, quoniam aetate pro- vectus, electse Dominae scribit Ecclesiae, filiisque ejus, quos sacro fonte genuerat., cfr. the Schol. I\Iatthäi. ^ See Wolfii Cur. on 2 Epist. ver. 1, where the ancient lite- rary sources of this opinion are enumerated. Among modern authors, J. D. Michaelis, in his Introduction to the New Tes- tament, and Dr. Augusti on the Catholic Epistles, Vol. II. p. 202j have declared in its favour.
