Ezechiel — Chapter 46
These annotations are from the original 1609 Douay Old Testament, the first complete English Catholic Bible translation, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Douai. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.
Verse 2
Not only Christian Doctours, but also Rabbi Dauid & other Hebrewes vnderstand this prophecie of Christ the true Messias, and of the sacrifices & rites of his Church: the letter neuertheles alluding to the forme of the old law.
Verse 16
Al workes done by the free choise of God, that is to say done in the state of grace, doe merite eternall reward. But other good workes done in state of mortal sinne are only rewarded temporally in this world, and not in life euerlasting.
