[1456] I read “inermum”—a very rare form—here for “inermem.” But there seems a confusion in the text, which here, as elsewhere, is probably corrupt.
[1457] “Ceræ,” which seems senseless here, I have changed to “cereris.”
[1458] There seems to be a reference to 2 Pet. i. 17.
[1459] Here again I have altered the punctuation by a very simple change.
[1460] See 1 Cor. xv. 54; Isa. xxv. 8 (where the LXX. have a strange reading).
Book III.—Of the Harmony of the Fathers of the Old and New Testaments.
[1461] Isa. liv. 1; Gal. iv. 27.
[1463] The Jewish people leaving Christ, “the fountain of living waters” (Jer. ii. 13; John vii. 37-39), is compared to Hagar leaving the well, which was, we may well believe, close to Abraham’s tent.
[1464] Et tepidis errans ardenti sidere potat. See Gen. xxi. 12-20.
[1465] See Matt. xix. 27; Mark x. 28; Luke xviii. 28.
[1466] See Matt. xxiii. 35.
[1467] i.e., apparently the “giants;” see Gen. vi. 4; but there is no mention of them in Enoch’s time (Migne).
[1468] i.e., over the general sinfulness.
[1469] I suggest “translatus” for “translatum” here.
[1470] See Gen. vii. 1.
[1471] Loosely; 120 years is the number in Gen. vi. 3.
[1472] Gente.
[1473] Speculo vultus. The two words seem to me to go together, and, unless the second be indeed redundant, to mean perhaps a small hand-mirror, which affords more facilities for minute examination of the face than a larger fixed one.
[1474] “Sortis;” lit. “lot,” here ="the line or family chosen by lot.” Compare the similar derivation of “clergy.”
[1475] Lignum.
[1476] I have ventured to substitute “Christo” for “Christi;” and thus, for
“Cum Christi populo manifeste multa locutus,” read,
“Cum Christo (populo manifeste) multa locutus.”
The reference is to the fact, on which such special stress is laid, of the Lord’s “speaking to Moses face to face, as a man speaketh with his friend.” See especially Num. 12.5-8; Deut. 34.9-12; 18.17-19; Acts 3.22-23.
