Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[3563] “Corban.” [The note of the Oxford translation is useful in this place, quoting from Palmer, Antiq., iv. 8. But see Pellicia, Polity, etc., p. 237, trans. London, Masters, 1883.]
[3565] This is differently read “a widow, a poor widow is found,” etc.; or, “a woman widowed and poor.”
[3570] [See p. 479, supra, note 7. [Prov. xi. 24.]
[3572] [“The howse shall be preserved and never will decaye
Wheare the Almightie God is honored and served, daye by daye.”
This motto I copied from an old oaken beam in the hall of Rockingham Castle, with date a.d. 1579. In 1875 I saw the householder kneeling under this motto, with all his family and servants, daily.]
[3573] The original is variously read “fœnerat” and “commodat.”
[3576] Tob. xiv. 10, 11.
[3577] Tob. iv. 5-11.
[3578] Some editors add here, “warned by Thy precepts, and who shall receive heavenly things instead of earthly.”
[3582] This appears to be the less usual reading, the ordinary one being “equity.”
[3583] A more ancient reading seems to be, “of return” (scil. “reditionis”).
Treatise IX. On the Advantage of Patience.
