For where Christ is named and his faith, there all idolatry is deposed and all imposture of evil spirits is exposed, and any spirit is unable to endure even the name, nay, even on barely hearing it, flies and disappears.
but this work is not that of one dead, but of one that lives, and especially of God.
In particular, it would be ridiculous to say that while the spirits cast out by him and the idols brought to naught are alive, he who chases them away and by his power prevents their even appearing, yes, and is being confessed by them all to be son of God, is dead.
but they who disbelieve in the resurrection afford a strong proof against themselves if instead of all the spirits and the gods worshipped by them casting out christ who they say is dead christ on the contrary proves them all to be dead for if it be true that one dead can exert no power while the saviour does daily so many works drawing men to religion persuading to virtue teaching of immortality
leading on to a desire for heavenly things revealing the knowledge of the father inspiring strength to meet death showing himself to each one and displacing the godlessness of idolatry and the gods and spirits of the unbelievers can do none of these things but rather show themselves dead at the presence of christ their pomp being reduced to impotence and vanity whereas by the sign of the cross all magic is stopped and all witchcraft brought to naught and all the idols are being deserted and left
and every unruly pleasure is checked and every one is looking up from earth to heaven whom is one to pronounce dead christ that is doing so many works but to work is not proper to one dead or him that exerts no power at all but lies as it were without life which is just the case of the idols and spirits dead as they are
for the son of god is living and active and works day by day and brings about the salvation of all but death is daily proved to have lost all his power and idols and spirits are proved to be dead rather than christ so that henceforth no man can any longer doubt of the resurrection of his body
but he who is incredulous of the resurrection of the lord's body would seem to be ignorant of the power of the word and wisdom of god for if he took a body to himself at all and in reasonable consistency as our argument showed appropriated it as his own what was the lord to do with it or what should be the end of the body when the word had once descended upon it
for it could not but die inasmuch as it was mortal and to be offered unto death on behalf of all for which purpose it was that the saviour fashioned it for himself but it was impossible for it to remain dead because it had been made the temple of life whence while it died as mortal it came to life again by reason of the life in it and of its resurrection the works are a sign
but if because he is not seen his having risen at all is disbelieved it is high time for those who refuse belief to deny the very course of nature for it is god's peculiar property at once to be invisible and yet to be known from his works as has been already stated above
if then the works are not there they do well to disbelieve what does not appear but if the works cry aloud and show it clearly why do they choose to deny the life so manifestly due to the resurrection for even if they be maimed in their intelligence yet even with the external senses men may see the unimpeachable power and godhead of christ for even a blind man if he see not the sun yet if he take hold of the warmth the sun gives out knows that there is a sun above the earth
thus let our opponents also even if they believe not as yet being still blind to the truth yet at least knowing his power by others who believe not deny the godhead of christ and the resurrection accomplished by him for it is plain that if christ be dead he could not be expelling demons and spoiling idols
for a dead man the spirits would not have obeyed but if they be manifestly expelled by the naming of his name it must be evident that he is not dead especially as spirits seeing even what is unseen by men could tell if christ were dead and refuse him any obedience at all but as it is what irreligious men believe not the spirits see that he is god and hence they fly and fall at his feet saying just what they uttered when he was in the body
We know thee, who thou art, the Holy One of God, and, ah, what have we to do with thee, thou Son of God, I pray thee, torment me not.
as then demons confess him and his works bear him witness day by day it must be evident and let none brazen it out against the truth both that the saviour raised his own body and that he is the true son of god being from him as from his father his own word and wisdom and power who in ages later took a body for the salvation of all and taught the world concerning the father and brought death to naught and bestowed incorruption upon all by the promise of the resurrection
having raised his own body as a first-fruits of this, and having displayed it, by the sign of the cross, as a monument of victory over death and its
these things being so, and the resurrection of his body, and the victory gained over death by the Saviour being clearly proved, come now, let us put to rebuke both the disbelief of the Jews and the scoffing of the Gentiles.
For these, perhaps, are the points where Jews express incredulity, while Gentiles laugh, finding fault with the unseemliness of the cross and of the word of God becoming man.
but our argument shall not delay to grapple with both especially as the proofs at our command against them are clear as day for jews in their incredulity may be refuted from the scriptures which even themselves read for this text and that and in a word the whole inspired scripture cries aloud concerning these things
as even its express words abundantly show for prophets proclaimed beforehand concerning the wonder of the virgin and the birth from her saying lo the virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son and they shall call his name immanuel which is being interpreted god with us
