Introduction, by the American Editor.
[4127] Revincat.
[4128] Luke vi. 41-45. Cerdon is here referred to as Marcion’s master, and Apelles as Marcion’s pupil.
[4129] Scandalum. See above, book i. chap. ii., for Marcion’s perverse application of the figure of the good and the corrupt tree.
[4130] In hoc solo adulterium Marcionis manus stupuisse miror. He means that this passage has been left uncorrupted by M. (as if his hand failed in the pruning process), foolishly for him.
[4131] Videbitur.
[4133] Editus.
[4134] Temptabat. Perhaps, “was tampering with them.”
[4135] Eloquia.
[4138] Comp. Epiphanius, Hæres. xlii., Refut. 7, for the same argument: Εἰ οὐδὲ ἐν τῷ ᾽Ισραὴλ τοιαύτην πίστιν εὖρεν, κ.τ.λ. “If He found not so great faith, even in Israel, as He discovered in this Gentile centurion, He does not therefore condemn the faith of Israel. For if He were alien from Israel’s God, and did not pertain to Him, even as His father, He would certainly not have inferentially praised Israel’s faith” (Oehler).
[4139] Nec exinde. This points to Christ’s words, “I have not found such faith in Israel.”—Oehler.
[4140] Alienæ fidei.
[4141] Ceterum.
[4142] Suggillasset.
[4143] Æmulus.
[4144] Eam talem, that is, the faith of Israel.
[4146] Documentum.
