Introduction, by the American Editor.

[2408] Integritas.

[2409] Hæsisti.

Chapter VIII.—Specific Points. The Novelty of Marcion’s God Fatal to His Pretensions. God is from Everlasting, He Cannot Be in Any Wise New.

[2410] Stuporem suum.

[2411] [Cap. xix. infra.]

[2412] The original of this obscure passage is: “Novum igitur audiens deum, in vetere mundo et in vetere ævo et sub vetere deo inauditum quem tantis retro seculis neminem, et ipsa ignorantia antiquum, quidam Jesus Christus, et ille in veteribus nominibus novus, revelaverit, nec alius antehac.” The harsh expression, “quidam Jesus Christus,” bears, of course, a sarcastic reference to the capricious and inconsistent novelty which Marcion broached in his heresy about Christ. [By some slight chance in punctuation and arrangement, I have endeavoured to make it a little clearer.]

[2413] Gloriæ. [Qu. boast?]

[2414] Hæc erit novitas quæ.

[2415] Novo semper ac novo titulo.

[2416] Consecravit.

[2417] Germana.

[2418] Censetur. A frequent meaning in Tertullian. See Apol. 7 and 12.

[2419] We cannot preserve the terseness of the Latin: Deus, si est vetus, non erit; si est novus, non fuit.

Chapter IX.—Marcion’s Gnostic Pretensions Vain, for the True God is Neither Unknown Nor Uncertain. The Creator, Whom He Owns to Be God, Alone Supplies an Induction, by Which to Judge of the True God.

[2420] Agnitione. The distinctive term of the Gnostic pretension was the Greek equivalent Γνῶσις.

[2421] Agnitione.

[2422] Plane.

[2423] Non evagabor, ut dicam.

[2424] Provocari.

[2425] Debebo.

[2426] Ratione.

[2427] Constantius.

[2428] Quale est ut.
