Introduction, by the American Editor.

[2753] Totius orbis possidens.

[2754] There is a profound thought here; in his tract, De Pœnit. 10, he says, “Where one or two are, is the church, and the church is Christ.” Hence what he here calls Adam’s “higher delights,” even spiritual blessings in Christ with Eve. [Important note in Kaye, p. 304.]

[2755] See Gen. ii. 18.

[2756] Sexum Mariæ. For the Virgin Mary gave birth to Christ, the Saviour of men; and the virgin mother the Church, the spouse of Christ, gives birth to Christians (Rigalt.).

[2757] Arguis.

[2758] Ex fastidio liberis.

[2759] Gen. ii. 17.

[2760] Porro si.

Chapter V.—Marcion’s Cavils Considered. His Objection Refuted, I.e., Man’s Fall Showed Failure in God. The Perfection of Man’s Being Lay in His Liberty, Which God Purposely Bestowed on Him. The Fall Imputable to Man’s Own Choice.

[2761] Rev. xxii. 15.

[2762] Articulo.

[2763] John x. 25.

[2764] He refers to Hermogenes; see Adv. Hermog. chap. xxxii.

[2765] Vel…vel.

[2766] Quanquam.

[2767] As the Marcionites alleged.

[2768] Signatus est.

[2769] Animæ.

[2770] Nec alias nisi.

Chapter VI.—This Liberty Vindicated in Respect of Its Original Creation; Suitable Also for Exhibiting the Goodness and the Purpose of God. Reward and Punishment Impossible If Man Were Good or Evil Through Necessity and Not Choice.

[2771] Ratio, or, “His reason.” We have used both words, which are equally suitable to the Divine Being, as seemed most convenient.

[2772] Irrationaliter, or, “irrationally.”

[2773] See above, book i. chap. xxiii. p. 288.
