I. On Repentance.

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

[9163] Solo.

[9164] [Elucidation III.]

[9165] i.e. martyrdom.

[9166] Comp. Luke xii. 50.

[9167] Matt. xxvi. 41.

[9168] “Adversus,” like the “ad” above, note 21, p. 713.

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.

[9176] See 2 Tim. iv. 8. There is no authority for this statement of Tertullian’s in Scripture. [It is his inference rather.]

Chapter XV.—General Summary of the Virtues and Effects of Patience.

[9177] Si. This is Oehler’s reading, who takes “si” to be ="an.” But perhaps “sis” (="si vis”), which is Fr. Junius’ correction, is better: “Come, now, let us, if you please, give a general sketch of her mien and habit.”

[9178] Pura; perhaps “smooth.”

[9179] Compare with this singular feature, Isa. xxxvii. 22.

[9180] i.e., as Rigaltius (referred to by Oehler), explains, after the two visions of angels who appeared to him and said, “Arise and eat.” See 1 Kings xix. 4-13. [It was the fourth, but our author having mentioned two, inadvertently calls it the third, referring to the “still small voice,” in which Elijah saw His manifestation.]

Chapter XVI.—The Patience of the Heathen Very Different from Christian Patience. Theirs Doomed to Perdition. Ours Destined to Salvation.

[9181] One is finite, the other infinite.

[9182] Obsequii.
