Therefore, with wonderful emptiness and\r\nblindness, they contend that the words we have set down\r\nsignify, not death and resurrection, but sleep and awaking\r\nagain. But the 16th Psalm also cries to them, \"Therefore\r\nmy heart is jocund, and my tongue hath exulted; moreover,\r\nmy flesh also shall rest in hope: for Thou wilt not leave my\r\nsoul in hell; neither wilt Thou give Thine Holy One to see\r\ncorruption.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_470_470\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_470_470\">[470]</a> Who but He that rose again the third day\r\ncould say His flesh had rested in this hope; that His soul,\r\nnot being left in hell, but speedily returning to it, should\r\nrevive it, that it should not be corrupted as corpses are wont\r\nto be, which they can in no wise say of David the prophet and\r\nking? The 68th Psalm also cries out, \"Our God is the God<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_208\">[Pg 208]</a></span>\r\nof salvation: even of the Lord the exit was by death.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_471_471\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_471_471\">[471]</a> What\r\ncould be more openly said? For the God of salvation is the\r\nLord Jesus, which is interpreted Saviour, or Healing One. For\r\nthis reason this name was given, when it was said before He was\r\nborn of the virgin: \"Thou shalt bring forth a Son, and shalt\r\ncall His name Jesus; for He shall save His people from their\r\nsins.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_472_472\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_472_472\">[472]</a> Because His blood was shed for the remission of their\r\nsins, it behoved Him to have no other exit from this life than\r\ndeath. Therefore, when it had been said, \"Our God is the God\r\nof salvation,\" immediately it was added, \"Even of the Lord the\r\nexit was by death,\" in order to show that we were to be saved\r\nby His dying. But that saying is marvellous, \"Even of the\r\nLord,\" as if it was said, Such is that life of mortals, that not\r\neven the Lord Himself could go out of it otherwise save\r\nthrough death.</p>","headings":["THE CITY OF GOD.","BOOK SEVENTEENTH.","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45305-paragraph-337"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"03f5249c037b22f0ca435e7b04deaa74efc486a16ec55a03e7cd21a7b3df9d39","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume II","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Books XVII-XVIII)"],"edition_year":1871,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"MAT","chapter":1,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Matt. i. 21","verse":21,"verse_end":21}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45305-Footnote_472_472","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Provider catalog reports public domain in the USA.
