Introductory Notice to Novatian, a Roman Presbyter.

[5180] John ii. 19.

[5181] John x. 18.

[5182] John i. 3.

[5183] [John v. 19. The infirmities of language are such that cunning men like Petavius can construct anti-Nicene doctrine out of Scripture itself; and the marvel is, that the Christian Fathers before the Council of Nicæa generally use such precision of language, although they lacked the synodical definitions.]

[5184] Col. i. 15.

[5185] John iii. 31, 32.

[5186] John iv. 38.

[5187] Isa. ix. 6.

[5188] Col. i. 15. [But not a creature, for the apostle immediately subjoins that He is the Creator and final Cause of the universe. Moreover, the first-born here seems to mean the heir of all creation, for such is the logical force of the verse following. So, πρωτοτοκεῖα (in the Seventy) = heirship. Gen. xxv. 31.]

[5189] 1 Tim. ii. 5.

[5190] Col. ii. 15.

[5191] Perhaps the emendation homine instead of homo is right. “He puts on and puts off humanity, as if it were a kind of tunic for a compacted body.”

[5192] Gen. xlix. 11.

Chapter XXII. Argument—That the Same Divine Majesty is in Christ, He Once More Asserts by Other Scriptures.

[5193] According to Pamelius, ch. xvii.

[5194] Phil. ii. 6-11.

[5195] [Not “a seipso Deus.” See Bull, Defens., vol. v. p. 685.]

Chapter XXIII. Argument.—And This is So Manifest, that Some Heretics Have Thought Him to Be God the Father, Others that He Was Only God Without the Flesh.

[5196] According to Pamelius, ch. xviii.

[5197] [The Noetians, Hippol., p. 148, supra.]

[5198] [Irenæus, vol. i. p. 527.]

Chapter XXIV. Argument.—That These Have Therefore Erred, by Thinking that There Was No Difference Between the Son of God and the Son of Man; Because They Have Ill Understood the Scripture.

[5199] According to Pamelius, ch. xix.

[5200] John i. 14.
