Metalogos The Gospels of Thomas & Philip & Truth

they are sacrificed are not divinities.
(Isa 44:9-20!, Ph 14)
55. Vessels of glass and vessels of
pottery always come forth thru fire. But
if glass vessels break they are recast,
(for¹) they had come to be by means of
a breath². Yet if pottery vessels break
they are destroyed, for they had come
to be without breath. (¹asyndeton; ²=spirit;
ceramics can only be recast before firing: Jer
18:4-10 19:11)
56. A donkey turning at a millstone did
a hundred miles walking. (When¹) it had
been released, it found itself still in the
same place. There are persons who
take many journeys and make no
progress anywhere. When evening
came upon them, they discerned
neither city nor village, neither creation
nor nature, neither power nor angel. In
vain did the wretches toil! (Ps 127:2,
Ecl 2:11; ¹asyndeton; Clement of Alexandria, in
138
