Introduction, by the American Editor.

[2526] To depreciate the Creator’s work the more, Marcion (and Valentinus too) used to attribute to Him the formation of all the lower creatures—worms, locusts, etc.—reserving the mightier things to the good and supreme God. See St. Jerome’s Proem. in Epist. ad Philem. [See, Stier, Words of Jesus, Vol. vi. p. 81.]

[2527] Dinoscetur.

[2528] Quo necessarior.

[2529] Locum.

Chapter XVIII.—Notwithstanding Their Conceits, the God of the Marcionites Fails in the Vouchers Both of Created Evidence and of Adequate Revelation.

[2533] Quadratus.

Chapter XIX.—Jesus Christ, the Revealer of the Creator, Could Not Be the Same as Marcion’s God, Who Was Only Made Known by the Heretic Some CXV. Years After Christ, and That, Too, on a Principle Utterly Unsuited to the Teaching of Jesus Christ, I.e., the Opposition Between the Law and the Gospels.

[2545] The third of these books against Marcion.

[2546] Circumlatorem.
