Introductory Note.

[1368] So Oehler points, and Tischendorf in his edition of the LXX. points not very differently. I incline to read: “Because they have filled up the measure of their impieties, and, behold (are) themselves, as it were, grimacing, I will,” etc.

[1369] Comp. Rev. i. 13.

[1370] “Quæ fuit super eam” (i.e. super domum) “in subdivali domûs” is Oehler’s reading; but it differs from the LXX.

[1371] The ms. which Oehler usually follows omits “Tau;” so do the LXX.

[1372] Et in his dixit ad audientem. But the LXX. reading agrees almost verbatim with the Eng. ver.

[1373] Ezek. 8.12-9.6 (especially in the LXX.). Comp. adv. Marc. l. iii. c. xxii. But our author differs considerably even from the LXX.

[1374] Or rather in Deuteronomy. See Deut. 28.65 sqq.

[1375] Or, “sole.”

[1376] In ligno. There are no such words in the LXX. If the words be retained, “thy life” will mean Christ, who is called “our Life” in Col. iii. 4. See also John i. 4; xiv. 6; xi. 25. And so, again, “Thou shalt not trust (or believe) thy life” would mean, “Thou shalt not believe Christ.”

[1377] Or, “in accordance with.”

[1378] i.e., Would they have happened? and, by happening, have been their own proof?

Chapter XII.—Further Proofs from the Calling of the Gentiles.

[1379] Ps. ii. 7, 8.

[1380] Dispositionem; Gr. διαθήκην.

[1381] Isa. 42.6-7; 61.1; Luke 4.14-18.

[1382] Comp. Luke ii. 25-33.

Chapter XIII.—Argument from the Destruction of Jerusalem and Desolation of Judea.

[1383] Mic. v. 2; Matt. ii. 3-6. Tertullian’s Latin agrees rather with the Greek of St. Matthew than with the LXX.

[1384] See Isa. i. 7.

[1385] Comp. John v. 43; x. 37-38.

[1386] Isa. xxxiii. 17.

[1387] Isa. xxxiii. 18.

[1388] Comp. the “failing eyes” in the passage from Deuteronomy given in c. xi., if “eyes” is to be taken as the subject here. If not, we have another instance of the slipshod writing in which this treatise abounds.
