Introductory Notice To Lactantius.
[1925] Lucretius is undoubtedly one of the poets here referred to; some think that Virgil, others that Horace, is the second.
[1926] Sopiatur.
[1927] Quid fiat. Others read “quid faciat.”
[1928] Imaginibus.
[1929] Sopitus.
[1930] Evigilat.
[1931] Simulacris.
[1932] Species.
[1933] Avocamenta.
[1934] Thus Joseph and Daniel were interpreters of dreams: and the prophet Joel (ii. 28) foretells this as a mark of the last days, “Your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.”
[1935] Quorum præsens et admirabilis fuerit eventus. [A sober view of the facts revealed in Scripture, and which, in the days of miracles, influenced so many of the noblest minds in the Church.]
[1936] Ex parte somnii constiterunt. Some editions read, “ex parte somniis constituerunt.”
[1937] Æneid, vi. 894.
Chap. XIX.—Of the Soul, and It Given by God.
[1938] Sed ego id in eo jure ab ancipiti vindico.
[1939] ii. 991.
[1940] Et citra hoc opus homo resistit. The compound word “resistit” is used for the simple sistit—“stands.”
[1941] Sacramento
[1942] Metitur, “measures.”
[1943] Corpusculum. The diminutive appears to imply contempt.
[1944] The expression is too general, since the body as well as the soul is a true part of man’s nature. [Perhaps so; but Lactantius is thinking of St. Paul’s expression (Philipp. iii. 21), “the body of our humiliation.”]
[1945] Quem rectum rectè sortitus est. In some editions the word “recte” is omitted.
