3 But the controversy is, whether this were Samuel or the devil? About which matter, not only the Rabbins, but also the christian fathers have disagreed among themselves. 1Yea and among the latter writers Burgensis thinketh one way, and Lyra another. Justinus Martyr against Triphon saith, that It was Samuel. In which place he hath certain things which may not well be granted. For he saith, that all souls before Christ, even of the godly, were after a sort under the power of the devil; so that he might bring them back when he would. But Christ saith, 2that Lazarus was in the bosom of Abraham, and not in the power of the devil. But that (thou wilt say) is a parable. I grant it; yet is it drawn from things likely to be true, and which might be. Yea and Tertullian so accounted that narration to be done indeed, as he thinketh that Lazarus was John Baptist, and the rich glutton was Herod; and that Christ would forbear their names. 3In the 46. of Ecclesiasticus is set forth the praise of Samuel; where among other things it is said, that he prophesied after that he was dead, and foreshowed to the king the day of his death.
