Introduction, by the American Editor.
[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.
[4148] Et quidem adhuc orantes.
[4149] Comp. Epiphanius, Hæres. xlii., Schol. 8, cum Refut.; Tertullian, De Præscript Hæret. 8; and De Bapt. 10.
[4150] Ut ulterius. This is the absurd allegation of Marcion. So Epiphanius (Le Prieur).
[4151] Ego.
[4152] Scandalum. Playing on the word “scandalum” in its application to the Baptist and to Marcion.
[4153] “It is most certain that the Son of God, the second Person of the Godhead, is in the writings of the fathers throughout called by the title of Spirit, Spirit of God, etc.; with which usage agree the Holy Scriptures. See Mark ii. 8; Rom. i. 3-4; 1 Tim. iii. 16; Heb. ix. 14; 1 Pet. iii. 18-20; also John 6.63;56.”—Bp. Bull, Def. Nic. Creed (translated by the translator of this work), vol. i. p. 48 and note X. [The whole passage should be consulted.]
