491 Frag. xxvii. Τὸ μὲν οὖν παιδάριον χειραγωγοῦν τὸν Σαμψὼν
προτυπωθήσεται εἶς Ἰωάννην τὸν Βαπτιστὴν, ἐπιδεικνύντα τῷ λαῷ τὴν
εἰς Χριστὸν πίστιν. ὁ δὲ οἶκος, εἰς ὃν ἦσαν συνηγμένοι, σημαίνεται
εἶναι ὁ κόσμος, ἐν ᾧ κατῴκει τὰ ἀλλόφυλα ἔθνη καὶ ἄπιστα, θυσιάζοντα
τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὑτῶν· οἱ δὲ δύο στύλοι, αἱ δύο διαθῆκαι. τὸ οὖν
ἐπαναπαυθῆναι τὸν Σαμψὼν ἐπὶ τοὺς στύλους, τὸν διδαχθένται λαὸν
ἐπιγνῶναι τὸ τοῦ Χριστοῦ μυστήριον.
492 Acts ii. 31.
493 Luke xvi. 22. xxiii. 43.
494 Phil. i. 23.
495 1 Pet. iii. 19. iv. 6.
496 IV. ii. 4. Non autem fabulam retulit nobis pauperis et divitis.
497 II. xxxiv. 1. Plenissime autem Dominus docuit, non solum
perseverare, non de corpore in corpus transgredientes, animas; sed
et characterem corporis, in quo etiam adaptantur, custodire eundem,
et meminisse eas operum, quæ egerunt hic, et a quibus cessaverunt,
in ea relatione, quæ scribitur de divite et de Lazaro eo, qui
refrigerabat in sinu Abrahæ: in qua ait, divitem cognoscere Lazarum
post mortem, et Abraham autem similiter, et manere in suo ordine
unumquemque ipsorum, et postulare mitti ei ad opem ferendam Lazarum,
cui ne quidem de mensæ suæ amicis communicabat: et de Abrahæ
responso, qui non tantum ea, quæ secundum se, sed et quæ secundum
divitem essent, sciebat; et præcipiebat Moysi assentire et Prophetis
eos, qui non mallent pervenire in illum locum pœnæ, et recipientes
præconium ejus, qui resurrexerit a mortuis. Per hæc enim manifeste
declaratum est, et perseverare animas, et non de corpore in corpus
transire, et habere hominis figuram, ut etiam cognoscantur, et
meminerint eorum, quæ sint hic; et propheticum quoque adesse Abrahæ,
et dignam habitationem unamquamque gentem percipere, etiam ante
judicium.
