Introduction, by the American Editor.

[2443] Dedicasse.

[2444] Instituat.

[2445] Denique.

[2446] See also De test, anim. 2, and De anima, 41. [Bp. Kaye refers (p. 166) to Profr. Andrews Norton of Harvard, with great respect: specially to a Note on this usage of the Heathen, in his Evidences, etc. Vol. III.]

[2447] Prophetia, inspired Scripture.

Chapter XI.—The Evidence for God External to Him; But the External Creation Which Yields This Evidence is Really Not Extraneous, for All Things are God’s. Marcion’s God, Having Nothing to Show for Himself, No God at All. Marcion’s Scheme Absurdly Defective, Not Furnishing Evidence for His New God’s Existence, Which Should at Least Be Able to Compete with the Full Evidence of the Creator.

[2448] Extraneous.

[2449] Extraneum.

[2450] Alius.

[2451] Plane falsæ vacabit.

[2452] Forma.

[2453] Proprii sui mundi, et hominis et sæculi.

[2454] [Kaye, p. 206.]

[2455] Cicerculam.

[2456] [—“uncique puer monstrator aratri,” Virg. Georg. i. 19, and see Heyne’s note.]

[2457] Præscriptio.

[2458] Tertium cessat.

[2459] Falsæ. An allusion to the Docetism of Marcion.

[2460] Apud quem.

Chapter XII.—Impossibility of Acknowledging God Without This External Evidence Of His Existence. Marcion’s Rejection of Such Evidence for His God Savours of Impudence and Malignity.

[2461] The word cause throughout this chapter is used in the popular, inaccurate sense, which almost confounds it with effect, the “causa cognoscendi,” as distinguished from the “causa essendi,” the strict cause.

[2462] The word cause throughout this chapter is used in the popular, inaccurate sense, which almost confounds it with effect, the “causa cognoscendi,” as distinguished from the “causa essendi,” the strict cause.

[2463] The word “res” is throughout this argument used strictly by Tertullian; it refers to “the thing” made by God—that product of His creative energy which affords to us evidence of His existence. We have translated it “proof” for want of a better word.
