Introductory Notice to Novatian, a Roman Presbyter.

[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.

[5201] Matt. i. 23.

[5202] Luke i. 35.

[5203] “The miraculous generation is here represented as the natural, but by no means as the only cause for which He who had no human father was to receive the name of God’s Son.”—Oosterzee, in loco, on Luke.—Tr.

[5204] Principalitas.

[5205] The edition of Pamelius reads: ut sequela nominis in Filio Dei et hominis sit. The words Dei et were expelled by Welchman, whom we have followed.

Chapter XXV. Argument.—And that It Does Not Follow Thence, that Because Christ Died It Must Also Be Received that God Died; For Scripture Sets Forth that Not Only Was Christ God, But Man Also.

[5206] According to Pamelius, ch. xx.

[5207] Matt. x. 28.
