Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[4847] Ecclesiasticus 2.1.
[4849] [The terrible pictures in S. Stefano Rotondo (see p. 288, supra) might seem to have been taken from this graphic treatise. Can our faith and love be compared with that of these sufferers?]
[4850] [To me, these dramatic narrations of what was going on among the crowds that gazed upon the tortures of Christ’s witnesses, are very suggestive of the whole scene. Compare pp. 295–296, supra.]
[4851] Ecclesiasticus 2.4.
[4852] Or, “earth.”
[4853] Wisd. iii. 4.
[4857] [The adoption of “the sign of the cross,” after the immersion of baptism, is referable to this martyr-age. It was meant to impress the idea of soldiership.]
[4858] Matt. iii. 10. [Elucidation II.]
[4861] Col. ii. 20; “decernitis.”
[4862] Gal. vi. 14. [Compare Ep. xxv. p. 303, supra.]
[4866] Or, “Manes.”
[4867] [Rev. vi. 9; also vol. i. p. 486, note 10, this series.]
