Introduction, by the American Editor.

[2487] Sordidum. [Well and nobly said.]

Chapter XIV.—All Portions of Creation Attest the Excellence of the Creator, Whom Marcion Vilifies. His Inconsistency Herein Exposed. Marcion’s Own God Did Not Hesitate to Use the Creator’s Works in Instituting His Own Religion.

[2488] De industria ingeniis aut viribus ampliavit.

[2489] 2 Cor. xii. 5.

[2490] Tertullian, it should be remembered, lived in Africa.

[2491] Cantharidis.

[2492] Adamavit.

[2493] Laboravit.

[2494] Paupertina. This and all such passages are, of course, in imitation of Marcion’s contemptuous view of the Creator’s work.

[2495] Cellula.

[2496] Infantat.

[2497] Mendicitatibus.

[2498] Matricem.

[2499] Medullas.

[2500] [The use of fish for fasting-days has no better warrant than Marcion’s example.]

[2501] Uteris.

Chapter XV.—The Lateness of the Revelation of Marcion’s God. The Question of the Place Occupied by the Rival Deities. Instead of Two Gods, Marcion Really (Although, as It Would Seem, Unconsciously) Had Nine Gods in His System.

[2502] Vel.

[2503] Conditionem.

[2504] Adv. Marcionem, v. 12.

[2505] For Marcion’s exclusive use, and consequent abuse, of St. Paul, see Neander’s Antignostikus (Bohn), vol. ii. pp. 491, 505, 506.

[2506] [This date not merely settles the time of our author’s work against Marcion, but supplies us with evidence that his total lapse must have been very late in life. For the five books, written at intervals and marked by progressive tokens of his spiritual decline, are as a whole, only slightly offensive to Orthodoxy. This should be borne in mind.]

[2507] Frivolis. Again in reference to Marcion undervaluing the creation as the work of the Demiurge.
