Introductory Notice to Novatian, a Roman Presbyter.
[5056] [The science of the third century had overruled the Pythagorean system, and philosophers bound the Church and the human mind in the chains of false science for ages. The revival of true science was due to Copernicus, a Christian priest, and to Galileo, and other Christians. Let this be noted.]
[5057] “Vigent,” or otherwise “lucent.”
[5058] “Ministraret” seems to be preferable to “monstraret.”
[5059] [Our author’s genius actually suggests a theory, in this chapter, concerning the zoa, or “living creatures,” which anticipates all that is truly demonstrated by the “evolutionists,” and which harmonizes the variety of animated natures. Rev. v. 13, 14.]
[5061] [The universe is here intended, as in Milton, “this pendent world.” Parad. Lost, book ii. 1052.]
[5062] Rom. xi. 33. “Note also the rest of the text” is our author’s additional comment.
