[206:5] Acts vi. 5. Others conceive, however, that the name Nicolaitanes
is merely equivalent to Balaamites (as Balaam in Hebrew is nearly
equivalent to Nicolas in Greek, each word signifying _Ruler, or
Conqueror of the people_), and that the apostle does not here refer to
any party already known by this designation, but to all who, like
Balaam, were seducers of God's people. See Neander, "General History,"
ii. 159. Edinburgh edition, 1847.

afterwards distinguished by this designation. See a letter from Dionysius
of Corinth in Eusebius, iv. 23. See also Kaye's "Clement of Alexandria,"
p. 418. The first day of the week is called "the Christian Sabbath" in
the Ethiopic version of the "Apostolical Constitutions." See Platt's
"Didascalia," p. 99. But these Constitutions are of comparatively late
origin.

[213:1] Acts ii. 1. That the day of Pentecost was the first day of the
week appears from Lev. xxiii. 11, 15. The same inference may be drawn
from John xviii. 28, and xix. 31, compared with Lev. xxiii. 5, 6. See
