Introduction, by the American Editor.
[3070] Sursam et deorsum. An allusion to Heraclitus’ doctrine of constant change, flux and reflux, out of which all things came. Καὶ τὴν μεταβολὴν ὁδὸν ἄνω κάτω, τόν τε κόσμον γίνεσθαι κατὰ ταύτην, κ.τ.λ. “Change is the way up and down; the world comes into being thus,” etc. (Diogenes Laertius, ix. 8).
[3071] Sententias.
[3072] Dissimulationes.
[3073] Non nisi emendata.
[3074] Non repercussus.
[3075] Mentitum.
[3076] Non verum. An allusion to the Docetism of Marcion.
[3077] Nihil deliquit in Christum, that is, Marcion’s Christ.
[3078] Paucis amat.
[3079] Secundum.
[3080] Ingeniorum.
[3081] Enim.
[3082] i.e., Marcion’s Antitheses.
[3083] Antitheses so called because Marcion in it had set passages out of the O.T. and the N.T. in opposition to each other, intending his readers to infer from the apparent disagreement that the law and the gospel were not from the same author (Bp. Kaye on Tertullian, p. 468).
[3084] Pro rebus edomitis. See chap. xv. and xix., where he refers to the law as the subduing instrument.
[3085] Repercussus: perhaps “refuted.”
[3086] Exclusus.
[3087] Ab omni motu amariore.
[3088] Singulas species, a law term.
[3089] Arbustiores. A figurative word, taken from vines more firmly supported on trees instead of on frames. He has used the word indomitis above to express his meaning.
[3090] Rationali. Compare chap. vi. of this book, where the “ratio,” or purpose of God, is shown to be consistent with His goodness in providing for its highest development in man’s interest.
