Introductory Notice to Cyprian.

[3937] 1 Cor. i. 22-24.

2. That Christ is the Wisdom of God; and concerning the sacrament of His incarnation and of His passion, and cup and altar; and of the apostles who were sent, and preached.

[3938] [The house = the Church; the seven pillars = Isa. xi. 2, 3; her table = the Lord’s table; her cup = the sacrament of the Blood; her loaves = of the Body. Then her servants = preachers. So old authors.]

[3939] Prov. ix. 1-6.

3. That the same Christ is the Word of God.

[3940] Ps. xlv. 1. [דָּבָר מוֹב, Hebrew. λογόν, Sept. Verbum, Vulg. Matter, Eng. and Angl. Psalter.]

[3941] Ps. xxxiii. 6.

[3942] Isa. x. 23.

[3943] Ps. cvii. 20.

[3944] John i. 1-5.

[3945] Rev. xix. 11-13.

4. That Christ is the Hand and Arm of God.

[3946] [Hence the Spirit, “the finger of God.” Luke xi. 20.]

[3947] Isa. lix. 1-4.

[3948] Isa. liii. 1.

[3949] Isa. lxvi. 1, 2.

[3950] Isa. xxvi. 11.

[3951] Isa. lii. 10.

[3952] Original: “Rotas vehiculi triturantis novas in se retornatas.” The Oxford edition reads the three last words, “in serras formatas:” and the translator gives, “the wheels of a thrashing instrument made with new teeth.”

[3953] Some editions omit “and the elm.”

[3954] Isa. xli. 15-20. [Irenæus, vol. i. p. 487. “Word and Wisdom = hands.”]

5. That Christ is at once Angel and God.

[3955] [i.e., the Jehovah-Angel. See Tertullian, vol. iii. p. 335.]

[3956] Gen. xxii. 11, 12.

[3957] Scil. “Beth-el,” “the house of God.”
