[8929] Acts iii. 1: but the man is not said to have been “paralytic,” but “lame from his mother’s womb.”
[8930] Dan. 6.10; Psa. 55.17 (in the LXX. it is liv. 18).
Chapter XXVI.—Of the Parting of Brethren.
[8931] I have ventured to turn the first part of the sentence into a question. What “scripture” this may be, no one knows. [It seems to me a clear reference to Matt. xxv. 38, amplified by the Matt. 25.45, in a way not unusual with our author.] Perhaps, in addition to the passages in Gen. 18; Heb. 13.2, to which the editors naturally refer, Tertullian may allude to such passages as Mark. ix. 37; Matt. xxv. 40, 45. [Christo in pauperibus.]
[8932] I have followed Routh’s conjecture, “feceris” for “fecerit,” which Oehler does not even notice.
Chapter XXVII.—Of Subjoining a Psalm.
[8934] Perhaps “the great Hallelujah,” i.e. the last five psalms.
[8935] [The author seems to have in mind (Hos. xiv. 2) “the calves of our lips.”]
Chapter XXVIII.—Of the Spiritual Victim, Which Prayer is.
[8937] Isa. i. 11. See the LXX.
[8939] Sacerdotes; comp. de Ex. Cast. c. 7.
[8940] 1 Cor. xiv. 15; Eph. vi. 18.
[8941] Or, “provided.”
[8942] “Agape,” perhaps “the love-feast.”
[8943] Or, “procession.”
[8944] Altare.
Chapter XXIX.—Of the Power of Prayer.
[8945] Routh would read, “What will God deny?”
[8948] 1 Kings xviii.; James v. 17-18.
[8949] i.e. “the angel who preserved in the furnace the three youths besprinkled, as it were, with dewy shower” (Muratori quoted by Oehler). [Apocrypha, The Song, etc., verses 26, 27.]
