Ver. 10. By the appearing] By his coming in the flesh; of which also the Psalmist speaketh, Psalms 96:13 .
Brought life and immortality to light] As he drew light out of darkness at the creation. And as he then made light on the first day of the week, so on the same day he abolished death, &c., by his resurrection from the dead; by virtue also whereof
" Et sensus scoplis, et silvis addidit aures;
Et Diti lachrymas, et Morti denique vitam.
De Orpheo Manilius.
