Introduction, by the American Editor.
[3861] Per Jesum.
[3862] Professus…sequebatur.
[3864] This obscure passage runs thus in the original: “Marcion captat status controversiæ (ut aliquid ludam cum mei Domini veritate), scripti et voluntatis.” Status is a technical word in rhetoric. “Est quæstio quæ ex prima causarum conflictione nascitur.” See Cicero, Topic. c. 25, Part. c. 29; and Quinctilian, Instit. Rhetor. iii. 6. (Oehler).
[3865] Sumitur color.
[3866] Luke vi. 1-4; 1 Sam. xxi. 2-6.
[3867] Affectum.
[3868] Tunc demum.
[3869] Statum.
[3870] Non constanter tuebatur.
[3871] Non contristandi quam vacandi.
[3872] [This adoption of an Americanism is worthy of passing notice.]
[3873] Placet illi quia Creator indulsit.
[3875] That is, the Christ of another God.
[3877] It is impossible to say where Tertullian got this reading. Perhaps his LXX. copy might have had (in Ex. xx. 10): Οὐ ποιήσεις ἐν αὐτῇ πᾶν ἔργον σου, instead of συ; every clause ending in σου, which follows in that verse. No critical authority, however, now known warrants such a reading. [It is probably based inferentially on Ex. 20.9, “all thy work.”]
[3879] The LXX. of the latter clause of Ex. xii. 16 thus runs: πλὴν ὅσα ποιηθήσεται πάσῃ ψυχῇ. Tertullian probably got this reading from this clause, although the Hebrew is to this effect: “Save that which every man (or, every soul) must eat,” which the Vulgate renders: “Exceptis his, quæ ad vescendum pertinent.”
[3880] Liberandæ animæ: perhaps saving life.
[3881] In salutem animæ: or, for saving life.
