St Hippolytus of Rome, ANF 5

34. On Psalm XXXI. 22. Of the Triumph of the Christian Faith

Other Fragments on the Psalms1

The mercy of God is not so “marvellous” when it is shown in humbler cities as when it is shown in “a strong city,”2 and for this reason “God is to be blessed.”

Notes

  1. De Magistris, Acta Martyrum Ostien., p. 256.
  2. The allusion probably is to the seat of imperial power itself.
