Introductory Notice to Cyprian.

^[3991] Luke ii. 10, 11.

8. That although from the beginning He had been the Son of God, yet He had to be begotten again according to the flesh.

^[3992] Ps. ii. 7, 8.

^[3993] Luke i. 41-43.

^[3994] Gal. iv. 4.

^[3995] 1 John iv. 2, 3.

9. That this should be the sign of His nativity, that He should be born of a virgin—man and God—a son of man and a Son of God.

^[3996] Isa. vii. 10-15. The ordinary reading here is, “before He knows, to refuse the evil and to choose the good.” The reading in the text, however, is more authentic.

^[3997] Gen. iii. 14, 15.

10. That Christ is both man and God, compounded of both natures, that He might be a Mediator between us and the Father.

^[3998] Jer. xvii. 9.

^[3999] Num. xxiv. 17.

^[4000] [Here the English (q. v.) gives the more literal reading, which the Septuagint treats as a proverb, unfolding its sense. “Water from the bucket” seems to have signified the same as our low proverb “a chip from the block,” hence = a Son from the Father. Num. xxiv. 7.]

^[4001] The Oxford translator follows the English version, and reads, “over Agag.”

^[4002] Num. xxiv. 7-9.

^[4004] Luke i. 35.
