Introductory Notice To Lactantius.
[779] Confusa est et maledicta.
[780] i.e., Hades, the place of departed spirits.
[784] De manu inferorum.
[786] [A very feeble exposition of Luke xix. 42, 44.]
[787] Revelari, to be laid bare, uncovered, brought to light.
[788] Abdicato et exhæredato. The two expressions are joined together, to give strength. “Abdicati” were sons deprived of a share in their father’s possessions during his life; “exhæredati,” disinherited, those who have forfeited the right of succession after their father’s death.
[790] Or rather “covenant,” διαθήκη, for this signification is much more in accordance with the general meaning of the passage.
[791] Neglexi; Gr. ἡμέλησα.
[793] Consummaturum, “would complete,” “make perfect,” as in the next clause.
[794] See Heb. viii. 13, “In that He saith, a new covenant, He hath made the first old.”
[795] St. John’s testimony is more distinct, i. 12: “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.”
[797] Confirmabo te, “will strengthen Thee.”
