Cyprian

Footnotes

^[3885] Mal. i. 10, 11. [P. 251, note 1, supra. The oblation of Melchizedek. Gen. xiv. 18. The Oxford translator adds, “with the incense of pious prayers.” See Justin, vol. i. p. 215, cap. xli., and Irenæus, vol. i. p. 484.]

17. That the old priesthood should cease, and a new priest should come, who should be for ever.

^[3886] Ps. cx. 3.

^[3887] 1 Sam. ii. 35, 36.

18. That another Prophet such as Moses was promised, to wit, one who should give a new testament, and who rather ought to be heard.

^[3888] Deut. xviii. 18, 19.

^[3889] John v. 39-40, 45-47.

19. That two peoples were foretold, the elder and the younger; that is, the old people of the Jews, and the new one which should consist of us.

^[3890] Gen. xxv. 23.

^[3891] Hos. ii. 23; i. 10.

20. That the Church which before had been barren should have more children from among the Gentiles than what the synagogue had had before.

^[3892] Isa. liv. 1-4.

^[3893] 1 Sam. ii. 5. [Compare Treatise xi. p. 503, supra.]

21. That the Gentiles should rather believe in Christ.

^[3894] Gen. xi. 1-3.

^[3895] The quotation in the Oxford edition begins from this point.

^[3896] Gen. xxvii. 27-29.

^[3897] Gen. xlviii. 17-19. The whole of this quotation is wanting in more than one codex.

^[3898] “Frutice.” The Oxford translator has here, without any authority as it appears, from the text, adopted the reading of the Vulgate, “ad prædam.” Cyprian has used the LXX., reading apparently, ἐκ βλαστοῦ. The Hebrew מִטֶּרֶף gives a colour to either reading. See Gesenius, Lex. in voce מֶרֶף. [Elucidation X.]

^[3899] Original, “ad cilicium;” LXX. τῆ ἕλικι, “the tendril of the vine;” Oxford trans. “the choice vine.”

^[3900] Gen. xlix. 8-12.

^[3901] Num. xxiii. 14.
