Introduction, by the American Editor.

[4344] Conscriptum fuerat.
[4345] Marcion’s god.
[4346] Compare above, book i. chap. 15, and book iv. chap. 7.
[4347] Precario. This word is used in book v. chap. xii. to describe the transitoriness of the Creator’s paradise and world.
[4348] Nec nunc.
[4350] Isa. l. 10, according to the Septuagint.
[4351] Ejus est exhibentis.
[4352] Non præmisisti. Oehler suggests promisisti, “have given us no promise.”
[4353] Censum: Some read sensum, “sense.”
[4355] Anima: life.
[4358] Tertullian, by introducing this statement with an “inquit,” seems to make a quotation of it; but it is only a comment on the actual quotations. Tertullian’s invariable object in this argument is to match some event or word pertaining to the Christ of the New Testament with some declaration of the Old Testament. In this instance the approving words of God upon the mount are in Heb. i. 5 applied to the Son, while in Ps. ii. 7 the Son applies them to Himself. Compare the Adversus Praxean, chap. xix. (Fr. Junius and Oehler). It is, however, more likely that Tertullian really means to quote Isa. xliv. 26, “that confirmeth the word of His servant,” which Tertullian reads, “Sistens verba filii sui,” the Septuagint being, Καὶ ἰστῶν ῥῆμα παιδὸς αὐτοῦ.
[4359] In Christo. In with an ablative is often used by our author for in with an accusative.
[4360] Or perhaps “by the Creator.”
[4361] Isa. lxiii. 9, according to the Septuagint; only he reads faciet for aorist ἔσωσεν.
[4362] A Marcionite position.
[4363] Habitum.
