I. On Repentance.

[9155] [The “water vs. wine” movement is not a discovery of our own times. “Drink a little wine,” said St. Paul medicinally; but (as a great and good divine once remarked) “we must not lay stress on the noun, but the adjective; let it be very little.”]

[9156] Christi dei.

[9157] Dan. iv. 33-37. Comp. de Pæn. c. 12. [I have removed an ambiguity by slightly touching the text here.]

[9159] 1 Cor. vii. 34, 35.

[9161] Ad. It seems to mean flesh has strength given it, by patience, to meet the hardships of the flight. Compare the πρὸς πλησμονὴν τῆς σαρκὸς, of St. Paul in Col. ii. 23. [Kaye compares this with the De Fuga, as proof of the author’s freedom from Montanism, when this was written.]

[9162] Præveniat: “prevent” us, before we have time to flee.

[9163] Solo.

[9164] [Elucidation III.]

[9165] i.e. martyrdom.

[9166] Comp. Luke xii. 50.

Chapter XIV.—The Power of This Twofold Patience, the Spiritual and the Bodily. Exemplified in the Saints of Old.

[9169] Acts vii. 59, 60.

[9170] Job. See Job 1; 2.

[9171] “Feretrum”—for carrying trophies in a triumph, the bodies of the dead, and their effigies, etc.

[9172] Compare Ps. ii. 4.

[9173] i.e. with rage and disappointment.

[9174] Job ii. 8.

[9175] Operarius.
