Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[2025] Or, “repentance of the Father;” πατρός for πνεύματος. Maranus explains the confusion on the ground of the similarity between the contractions for the words, πρς and πνς.
Chapter XXXI.—If Christ’s power be now so great, how much greater at the second advent!
[2027] Literally, “And the ten horns, ten kings shall arise after them.”
[2031] πληρώσει πτώματα; Lat. version, implebit ruinas. Thirlby suggested that an omission has taken place in the mss. by the transcriber’s fault.
[2032] πεπήρωνται. Maranus thinks πεπώρωνται more probable, “hardened.”
Chapter XXXIV.—Nor does Ps. lxxii. apply to Solomon, whose faults Christians shudder at.
[2034] [A striking passage in De Maistre (Œuvres, vol. vi. p. 275) is worthy of comparison.]
Chapter XXXV.—Heretics confirm the Catholics in the faith.
Chapter XXXVI.—He proves that Christ is called Lord of Hosts.
[2039] Maranus remarks from Thirlby: “As Justin wrote a little before, ‘and is called Jacob in parable,’ it seems to convince us that Justin wrote, ‘thy face, O Jacob.’ ” [The meaning in this latter case becomes plain, if we observe that “O Israel” is equivalent to, and means, “O house of Jacob:” an apostrophe to the Church of the ancient people.]
Chapter XXXVII.—The same is proved from other Psalms.
[2041] Ps. xlvii. 5-9. [The diapsalm is here used for what follows the “Selah.”]
[2042] “For” wanting in both Codd.
[2044] [Hebrew and Greek, “a good word,” i.e., the Logos.]
[2045] Or, “God, thy God.”
