V.The evident diction of the Old Testament concerning the resurrection of the flesh exhibits partly clear documents, partly splendid and living specimens.
VI.Clear documents are testimonies which no sane person can deny.Here belongs (1) Dan. 12:2, Many of those who sleep, &c.For this reason Chrysostom in Homily 1 on Lazarus was too much hallucinating when he thought the secret dogma of the resurrection unknown to OT men.(2) Job 19:25: For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that he shall at last stand upon the dust, and from my flesh I shall see God.Rightly Jerome, Epistle 61: What is clearer than this prophecy?No one speaks so openly after Christ as this one before Christ concerning the resurrection.
Latin
V. Evidens dictio V.T. de resurrectione carnis nobis exhibet partim perspicua documenta, partim luculenta & viva specimina. VI. Perspicua documenta sunt testimonia, quae nemo sanus negare potest. Huc pertinet 1. illud Dan. 12.v.2. multi ex iis qui dormiunt &c. Hac propter Johannes Chrysostomus hom. 1. de Lazaro nimis hallucinatus est, qui veteris testamenti hominibus arcanum resurrectionis dogma incognitum fuisse opinatur. 2. Huc pertinet illud Jobi 19.v.25. Equidem novi redemptorem meum vivere, & postremo super pulverem constituturum, & de carne mea videbo Deum. Recte Hieronymus epist. 61. Quid hac prophetia manifestius? Nullus tam aperte post Christum, quam iste ante Christum de resurrectione loquitur.
