Introduction, by the American Editor.
[5396] Disciplinæ.
[5397] Per naturæ dissimulationem. This Fr. Junius explains by τὴν φύσεως ἀφοσίωσιν, in the sense of “original sin” (ἀφοσιοῦσθαι seems to point to sin requiring expiation).
[5399] 1 Cor. 1.19; Isa. 29.14.
[5400] Causam.
[5401] Aut si: introducing a Marcionite cavil.
[5402] Apud dominum.
[5404] Boni duxit Deus, εὐδόκησεν ὁ Θεός.
[5406] Hic vel maxime.
[5407] That is, “man who lives in the world, not God who made the world.”
[5409] Æmula.
[5410] Causæ: the reasons of His retributive providence.
[5412] Consignat.
[5415] “Etiam Marcion servat.” These words cannot mean, as they have been translated, that “Marcion even retains these words” of prophecy; for whenever Marcion fell in with any traces of this prophecy of Christ, he seems to have expunged them. In Luke ii. 34 holy Simeon referred to it, but Marcion rejected this chapter of the evangelist; and although he admitted much of chap. xx., it is remarkable that he erased the ten verses thereof from the end of the eighth to the end of the eighteenth. Now in vers. 17, 18, Marcion found the prophecy again referred to. See Epiphanius, Adv. Hæres. xlii. Schol. 55.
