Introduction, by the American Editor.
[3443] On the Hope of the Faithful. This work, which is not extant (although its title appears in one of the oldest mss. of Tertullian, the Codex Agobardinus), is mentioned by St. Jerome in his Commentary on Ezekiel, chap. xxxvi.; in the preface to his Comment. on Isaiah, chap. xviii.; and in his notice of Papias of Hierapolis (Oehler).
[3444] Otiosum.
[3445] [See Kaye’s important Comment. p. 345.]
[3448] Phil. iii. 20, “our conversation,” A.V.

[3454] Evanescente.

[3458] Dispositionis.
[3460] Nostri, i.e., Christians. [Not Montanist, but Catholic.]
[3463] Judæorum enim dispositio in Esau priorum natu et posteriorum affectu filiorum. This is the original of a difficult passage, in which Tertullian, who has taken Jacob as a type of the later, the Christian church, seems to make Esau the symbol of the former, the Jewish church, which, although prior in time, was later in allegiance to the full truth of God.
