Introduction, by the American Editor.
[2272] The Flamen Dialis. See Tertullian’s tract, ad Uxorem, i. 7.
[2273] [Corruptio optimi pessima. Compare the surprising parallels of M. Huc between debased Christianity and the paganism of Thibet, etc. Souvenirs d’un voyage, etc. Hazlitt’s translation, 1867.]
[2274] Morositatem Illam. [He refers to the minute and vexatious ordinances complained of by St. Peter (Acts xiv. 10,) which Latin Christianity has ten-folded, in his name.]
[2275] Gestiit.
[2276] Attemperare.
[2277] i.e., the Scriptures of the New Testament.
[2278] Conversationis.
[2279] See Matt. vii. 6.
[2280] Lenocinium. “Pandering” is Archdeacon Dodgson’s word.
[2281] Miscent.
[2282] Edocti.
[2283] Repromittere.
[2284] Compare Tertullian’s tract, de Bapt. I. and de Veland. Virg. viii. [Also, Epiphan. iv. p. 453, Ed. Oehler.]
[2285] Temerariæ.
[2286] They were constantly changing their ministers. It was a saying of the heretics, “Alius hodie episcopus, cras alius” (Rigalt.).
[2287] Sæculo obstrictos.
[2288] Promereri est.
[2289] Non parent.
[2290] Enim. [e.g. The Trent system of Unity, alas! is of this sort.]
[2291] Hence the saying, “Wasps make combs, so Marcionites make churches” (see our Anti-Marcion, p. 187); describing the strangeness and uselessness of the societies, not (as Gibbon said) their number (Dodgson).
[2292] Sua in vilitate. Another reading, pronounced corrupt by Oehler, has “quasi sibi latæ vagantur,” q.d. “All for themselves, as it were, they wander” etc. (Dodgson).
