 | The Extant Works and Fragments of Hippolytus |  |
| ||||||
Part I.—Exegetical. Other Fragments on the Psalms. II. On Psalm 31:22. Of the Triumph of the Christian Faith. The mercy of God is not so "marvellous" when it is shown in humbler cities as when it is shown in "a strong city," [1389] and for this reason "God is to be blessed." Footnotes: [1388] De Magistris, Acta Martyrum Ostien., p. 256. [1389] The allusion probably is to the seat of imperial power itself. |
