Introduction, by the American Editor.
[7744] Isa. 40.17. The word is spittle, which the LXX. uses in the fifteenth verse for the “dust” of the Hebrew Bible.
[7745] Isa. xlii. 4, Sept; quoted from the LXX. by Christ in Matt. xii. 21, and by St. Paul in Rom. xv. 12.
[7746] An allusion to some conceits of the Valentinians, who put men of truest nature and fit for Christ’s grace outside of the ocean-bounded earth, etc.
[7751] Deut. viii. 3; Matt. iv. 4.
Chapter LXII.—Our Destined Likeness to the Angels in the Glorious Life of the Resurrection.
[7752] Luke xx. 36; Matt. xxii. 30.
[7753] ἰσάγγελοι.
[7754] Cui.
[7757] In this apostrophe to the soul, he censures Marcion’s heresy.
[7758] Compare the De Carne Christi.
[7759] See the De Præscript. Hæret. ch. xxxviii. supra, for instances of these diverse methods of heresy. Marcion is mentioned as the mutilator of Scripture, by cutting away from it whatever opposed his views; Valentinus as the corrupter thereof, by his manifold and fantastic interpretations.
[7760] See the Adv. Valentinianos, supra.
[7761] Joel ii. 28-29; Acts ii. 17-18. [See last sentence. He improves upon St. Peter’s interpretation of this text (as see below) by attributing his own clear views to the charismata, which he regards as still vouchsafed to the more spiritual.]
[7762] We follow Oehler’s view here, by all means.
