“Deus ad homines venit, immo, quod proprius est, in homines venit,” &c.—Sen. _Ep._ 73. I do not think it necessary to give the original of these passages, except in special cases. Footnote 40: “Peccavimus omnes, alii graviora, alii leviora,” &c. Footnote 41: “Nec delinquimus tantum sed usque ad extremum ævi delinquemus.” Footnote 42: We find from Seneca’s observation respecting the Jews, which St Augustin quotes, “victi victoribus leges dederunt,” how strongly he was impressed with the power the Jews exercised spiritually. The Satires of Juvenal and the complaints of Tacitus present us with similar views on their part. That Christianity was supposed to be a part of Judaism is seen from the words of Suetonius (_Vit. Claud._): “Judæos, impulsore Chresto, assidue tumultuantes Româ expulit.” Footnote 43: “Accendere aliquem lucernam sabbathis prohibeamus,” &c. Footnote 44: Acts xvii. 25. Footnote 45: Mark xii. 33. Footnote 46: Compare this with the passage in the Epistle to the Hebrews, xi. 6: “He that cometh unto GOD must believe that He is.” Footnote 47: Sen. _Ep._ 95. Footnote 48: _Diss._ III. 23. Compare our Lord’s words, Matt. ix. 12. “They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Footnote 49: _Diss._ II. 16. Footnote 50: _Diss._ Β. III. c. 4. Πότε καὶ ἐγὼ ἡμάρτανον· νῦν δ’ οὐκέτι, χάρις τῷ Θεῷ. Footnote 51: Gataker has the following apposite and judicious remark on this passage, “Et quæ sequuntur his gemina, homine Christiano quovis non indigna, Christum modo donatum nobis adjecisset.”—Præloq. _M. Ant. Com._ Footnote 52: _Diss._ B. II. c. 16. Footnote 53: _Diss._ B. IV. c. 12. Footnote 54: _Diss._ B. IV. c. 4. Footnote 55: _Diss._ B. I. c. 3. Footnote 56: _Diss._ B. IV. c. 6. Footnote 57: _Diss._ B. III. c. 13. Footnote 58: Eἴπερ ὁ θεὸς ἀρετὴν μὲν οὐ δίδωσιν ἀνθρώποις· ἀλλὰ τὸ καλὸν αὐθαίρετόν ἐστι· πλοῦτον δὲ καὶ ὑγίειαν χωρὶς ἀρετῆς δίδωσιν οὐκ ὠφελεῖ. Plut. _de Stoic. cont._ c. 27. Footnote 59: “Idem fere, aliis verbis, Apostolus ad Thessal. Εp. I. c. 5. v. 23,” &c.—Gat. _not. in M. Ant_. B. II. c. 2. Footnote 60: M. Aur. _Com._ x. 1. CHAPTER IV.
