Introduction, by the American Editor.

[2251] [Our author insists on the precise agreement of Catholic Tradition with Holy Scripture. See valuable remarks on Schleiermacher, in Kaye, pp. 279–284.]

[2252] We add the original of this sentence, which is obscured by its terseness: “Quid de proprio intulimus, ut aliquid contrarium ei et in Scripturis deprehensum detractione vel adjectione vel transmutatione remediaremus?”

[2253] That is, teaching the same faith and conversation (De la Cerda).

[2254] Domestica.

[2255] Integro instrumento.

[2256] Callidiore ingenio.

[2257] That is, cutting out whatever did not fall in with it (Dodgson).

[2258] Non comparentium rerum. [Note, he says above “of them, the Scriptures, we, Catholics, have our being.” Præscription does not undervalue Scripture as the food and life of the Church, but supplies a short and decisive method with innovaters.]

Chapter XXXIX.—What St. Paul Calls Spiritual Wickednesses Displayed by Pagan Authors, and by Heretics, in No Dissimilar Manner. Holy Scripture Especially Liable to Heretical Manipulation. Affords Material for Heresies, Just as Virgil Has Been the Groundwork of Literary Plagiarisms, Different in Purport from the Original.

[2259] See Eph. 6.12; 1 Cor. 11.18.

[2260] Instruendis.

[2261] Oehler reads “ex Vergilio,” although the Codex Agobard. as “ex Virgilio.”

[2262] Denique. [“Getica lyra.”]

[2263] Otis.

[2264] Nec periclitor dicere. [Truly, a Tertullianic paradox; but compare 2 Pet. iii. 16. N.B. Scripture the test of heresy.]

[2265] 1 Cor. xi. 19.

Chapter XL.—No Difference in the Spirit of Idolatry and of Heresy. In the Rites of Idolatry, Satan Imitated and Distorted the Divine Institutions of the Older Scriptures. The Christian Scriptures Corrupted by Him in the Perversions of the Various Heretics.

[2266] “Interpretur” is here a passive verb.

[2267] Res.

[2268] Sacramentorum divinorum. The form, however, of this phrase seems to point not only to the specific sacraments of the gospel, but to the general mysteries of our religion.

[2269] Compare Tertullian’s treatises, de Bapt. v. and de Corona, last chapter.

[2270] Expositionem.

[2271] “Et sub gladio redimit coronam” is the text of this obscure sentence, which seems to allude to a pretended martyrdom. Compare Tertullian’s tract, de Corona, last chapter.
