We have\r\nto remark then, in the first place, that many of the prophets\r\nhave uttered predictions in all kinds of ways<a id=\"r1209\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1209\"><sup>[1209]</sup></a> regarding Christ;\r\nsome by means of dark sayings, others in allegories or in\r\nsome other manner, and some also in express words.
