For before\r\nthe advent of Christ it was not altogether possible to exhibit\r\nmanifest proofs of the divine inspiration of the ancient\r\nScriptures; whereas His coming led those who might suspect\r\nthe law and the prophets not to be divine, to the clear conviction\r\nthat they were composed by [the aid of] heavenly\r\ngrace.

The\r\nlight, moreover, which was contained in the law of Moses,\r\nbut which had been concealed by a veil, shone forth at the\r\nadvent of Jesus, the veil being taken away, and those blessings,\r\nthe shadow of which was contained in the letter, coming\r\nforth gradually to the knowledge [of men].</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK IV.","FROM THE GREEK."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70561-paragraph-299"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"9767dc2baa53b4192812b6d2a8150ed9aa07246ea993b981582a72867abd57d7","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 1 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie"],"edition_year":1869,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg70561-f822","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":"Project Gutenberg metadata: Public domain in the USA.
