Introduction, by the American Editor.
[2671] Apud se.
[2672] Exsortem salutis.
[2673] Free from all matrimonial impurity.
[2674] Spadonibus. This word is more general in sense than eunuch, embracing such as are impotent both by nature and by castration, White and Riddle’s Lat. Dict. s.v.
[2675] Tertullian’s Montanism appears here.
[2676] i.e., abstinence from marriage.
[2677] Sectando. [This, indeed, seems to be a fair statement of Patristic doctrine concerning marriage. As to our author’s variations see Kaye, p. 378.]
[2678] Universum conditionis.
[2679] Causa in its proper sense is, “that through which anything takes place;” its just and normal state, therefore. Culpa is the derangement of the cause; some flaw in it.
[2682] Lev. xx. 10, 13, 15.
[2683] Ratio.
[2684] In fide. Tertullian uses (De Pud. 18) “ante fidem” as synonymous with ante baptismum; similarly “post fidem.”
[2685] [Bad as this is, does it argue the lapse of our author as at this time complete?]
[2688] This is the force of the erit instead of the past tense.
[2689] Isses in, i.e., obstitisses, check or resist, for then Marcion would, of course, not have been born: the common text has esses in.
[2690] Tertullian has discussed these “definitions” in chap. ii. vii., and the “conditions” from chap. viii. onward. He will “examine the Scripture” passages in books iv. and v. Fr. Junius.
[2691] Statuum.
