(It may be questioned whether the allegorical commentary onMelchisedek[L^vif,<Y</.iii,20,p.l03j is a fair parallel to Heb. vii. The latter seems more likely to have been taken directly from Psa. ex, without the intervention of Philo.) Heb. si, 4. Kai 6c' alin? airoiavwv en XaXecYac.
An examination of these passages will, we believe, confirm the view which has been above taken of the doctrinal differences between them ; while, at the same time, it will enable us to discern a purpose to be served by the verbal resemblances which they undoubtedly ex- hibit. If we except instances of merely accidental sim- ilarity in language, without any affinity in thought; or quotations by way of illustration, such as St. Paul occa- sionally borrows from heathen writers ; or thoughts and expressions derived from the O. T., and therefore com- mon to Philo and the apostles, as alike acknowledging and making use of the Jewish Scriptures ; they may be reduced, for the most part, to two heads: first, the use of the name 6 Aoyoc, by St. John, as a title of Christ, and the application to him, both by St. John and St. Paul, of various attributes and offices ascribed by Philo to the divine Word, and to the various philosophical rep- resentations with which the Word is identified ; and, secondly, the recognition, chiefly in the acknowledged writings of St. Paul and in the Epistle to the Hebrews, of a spiritual sense, in parts of Scripture, distinct from the literal interpretation; though this is employed far more cautiously and sparingly than in Philo, and as an addition to, rather than, as Philo for the most part em- ploys it, as a substitute for the literal sense. The apos- tles, it would appear from these passages, availed them- selves, in some degree, of the language already estab- lished in the current speculations of their countrymen, in order to correct the errors with which that language was associated, and to lead men's minds to a recognition of the truth of which these errors were the counterfeit. This is only what might naturally be expected from men desirous of adapting the truths which they had to teach to the circumstances of those to whom they had to teach them. There was an earlier gnosticism founded in part on the perversion of the Law, as there was a later gnos- ticism founded in part on the perversion of the Gospel; and it is probable that, at least at the time when St. John wrote, the influence of both had begun to be felt in the
