Introduction, by the American Editor.

[2147] John xv. 26.

[2148] [Tertullian knows no other Vicar of Christ than the Holy Spirit. They who attribute infallibility to any mortal man become Montanists; they attribute the Paraclete’s voice to their oracle.]

[2149] Audeat.

Chapter XXIX.—The Truth Not Indebted to the Care of the Heretics; It Had Free Course Before They Appeared. Priority of the Church’s Doctrine a Mark of Its Truth.

[2150] Utique, ironical.

[2151] Perperam.

[2152] Virtutes, “potestatem edendi miracula” (Oehler).

[2153] Charismata.

[2154] Ministeria. Another reading has mysteria, “mysteries” or “sacraments.”

[2155] Gal. i. 8. [In this chapter (xxix.) the principle of Prescription is condensed and brought to the needle-point—Quod semper. If you can’t show that your doctrine was always taught, it is false: and this is “Prescription.”]

Chapter XXX.—Comparative Lateness of Heresies. Marcion’s Heresy. Some Personal Facts About Him. The Heresy of Apelles. Character of This Man; Philumene; Valentinus; Nigidius, and Hermogenes.

[2156] Fere.

[2157] [Kaye, p. 226.]

[2158] See adv. Marcion, iv. 4. infra.

[2159] Enim, profecto (Oehler).

[2160] 1 Cor. xi. 19.

[2161] Mark. xiv. 21.

[2162] Stemma. The reading of the Cod. Agobard. is “stigma,” which gives very good sense.

[2163] Vetus.

[2164] Sanctissimi. This may be an ironical allusion to Marcion’s repudiation of marriage.

[2165] Impegit.

[2166] In chap. vi. p. 246 above.

[2167] Energemate. Oehler defines this word, “vis et efficacia dæmonum, quibus agebatur.” [But see Lardner, Credib. viii. p. 540.]
