¹³⁰ Jer. iv. 11.

¹³¹ Isa. viii. 6, 7.

¹³² Mic. v. 5. The Septuagint reads auth = And (he) shall be the peace to it. Hippolytus follows the Hebrew, but makes the pronoun feminine, auth referring to the peace. Again Hippolytus reads orh = mountains, where the Septuagint has xwran = land, and where the Hebrew word = fortresses or palaces. [He must mean that "the Assyrian" = Antichrist. "The peace" is attributable only to the "Prince of peace." So the Fathers generally.]

¹³³ Deut. xxxii. 34, 35.

¹³⁴ ouai ghj ploiwn pterugej.

¹³⁵ metewpon.

¹³⁹ linon, proposed by the same for ploion, boat.

¹⁴⁰ yhfaroi, a term of doubtful meaning. May it refer to the karxhsia?

¹⁴⁹ Matt. xxiv. 15-22; Mark xiii. 14-20; Luke xxi. 20-23.

¹⁵⁰ Dan. xi. 31, Dan. xii. 11, 122. The Hebrew has 1,335 as the number in the second verse.

¹⁵¹ Hippolytus reads here ep authj instead of ep auton, and makes the pronoun therefore refer to the coming.

¹⁵³ Isa. xxvi. 10.

¹⁵⁴ Luke xxi. 28.

¹⁶¹ Rom. i. 17.

¹⁶² Dan. xii. 2.

¹⁶³ Isa. xxvi. 19.

¹⁶⁴ John v. 25.

¹⁶⁵ Eph. v. 14. Epiphanius and others suppose that the words thus cited by Paul are taken from the apocryphal writings of Jeremiah: others that they are a free version of Isa. lx. 1. [But their metrical form justifies the criticism that they are a quotation from a hymn of the Church, based, very likely, on the passage from Isaiah.]

¹⁷³ Tit. ii. 13.

¹⁷⁴ Ps. 1xix. 1ff.

¹⁷⁵ Ps. xvi. 10.

¹⁷⁶ oikonomikwj. [The Fathers find Christ everywhere in Scripture, and often undersnnd the expressions of David to be those of our Lord's humanity, by economy.]

¹⁷⁷ Phil. ii. 7.

¹⁷⁸ John xiv. 6.

¹⁷⁹ The text is outwj, for which read perhaps ote = when.

¹⁸⁰ Cf. Matt. xxiii. 38.

¹⁸¹ Wisd. ii, 1, 12, 13.

¹⁸² Wisd. ii, 15, 16.

¹⁸³ Wisd. ii. 14, 16, 17, 20. [The argument is ad hominem. The Jews valued this book, but did not account it to be Scripture; yet this quotation is a very remarkable comment on what ancient Jews understood concerning the Just One. Comp. Acts iii. 14, Acts vii. 52, and Acts xxii. 14.]

¹⁸⁴ Ps. ii. 5.

¹⁸⁵ Wisd. v. 1-9.

¹⁸⁶ (Compare Justin, vol. i. p. 194; Clement, vol. ii. pp 334-343; Tertullian, vol. iii. p. 151; Origen, vol. iv. p. 402, etc.; and Cyprian, vol. v., this series.]

¹⁸⁷ Hades, in the view of the ancients, was the general receptacle of souls after their separation from the body, where the good abode happily in a place of light ( fwteinw), and the evil all in a place of darkness ( skotiwterw). See Colomesii Keimhlia litteraria, 28, and Suicer on adhj. Hence Abraham's bosom and paradise were placed in Hades. See Olympiodorus on Eccles., iii. p, 264. The Macedonians, on the authority of Hugo Broughton, praying in the Lord's words, "Our Father who art in Hades" ( IIathr hmwn o en adh) (Fabricius). [Hippolytus is singular in assigning the ultimate receptacle of lost spirits to this Hades. But compare vol. iii. p. 428, and vol. iv. pp 293, 495, 541, etc.]

¹⁸⁸ Cf. Constitut. Apostol., viii. 41.

¹⁹⁵ geenna.

¹⁹⁶ According to the reading in Parallela, which inserts canqhn = red.

¹⁹⁷ The text reads kai ou, and where. But in Parallela it is kai outoi= and these see, etc. In the same we find wj mhte for kai touj dikaiouj.

¹⁹⁸ [It would be hard to frame a system of belief concerning the state of the dead more entirely exclusive of purgatory, i e., a place where the souls of the faithful are detained till (by Masses and the like) they are relieved and admitted to glory, before the resurrection. See vol. iii. p. 706.]
