31 Gestationem.

32 Euripi.

33 Rapere.

35 "Nypholeptos," restored by Oehler, = numfolh/ptouj.

36 So Tertullian reads, and some copies, but not the best, of the New Testament in the place referred to, John v. 1-9. [And note Tertullian's textual testimony as to this Scripture.]

37 Compare 1 Cor. xv. 46.

54 i.e. "Annointed." Aaron, or at least the priest, is actually so called in the LXX., in Lev. iv. 5, 16, o9 i9eru\j o9 Xristo/j: as in the Hebrew it is the word whence Messiah is derived which is used.

55 Civitate.

56 Acts iv. 27. "In this city" (e0n th|= po/lei tau/th|) is ommited in the English version; and the name 'Ihsou=n, "Jesus," is ommited by Tertullian. Compare Acts x. 38 and Lev. iv. 18 with Isa. lxi. 1 in the LXX.

74 Compare de Idol. xxiv. ad fin.

75 [II. Pet. i. 9. Heb. x. 26, 27, 29. These awful texts are too little felt by modern Christians. They are too often explained away.]

76 Patrocinia-"pleas in defence."

77 "Libere expeditus," set free, and that without any conditions, such as Pharaoh had from tome to time tried to impose. See Ex. viii. 25, 28, x. 10, 11, 24.

97 Constanter.

98 Potestate.

99 See John i. 33.
