Introduction, by the American Editor.
[6131] The tam novella is a relative phrase, referring to the fore-mentioned rule.
[6132] Denique.
[6133] Maldicere singuiis.
[6134] Probably by painting idols (Rigalt.; and so Neander).
[6135] It is uncertain whether Tertullian means to charge Hermogenes with defending polygamy, or only second marriages, in the phrase nubit assidue. Probably the latter, which was offensive to the rigorous Tertullian; and so Neander puts it.
[6136] Quoting Gen. i. 28, “Be fruitful and multiply” (Rigalt.).
[6137] Disregarding the law when it forbids the representation of idols. (Rigalt.).
[6138] Et cauterio et stilo. The former instrument was used by the encaustic painters for burning in the wax colours into the ground of their pictures (Westropp’s Handbook of Archæology, p. 219). Tertullian charges Hermogenes with using his encaustic art to the injury of the scriptures, by practically violating their precepts in his artistic works; and with using his pen (stilus) in corrupting the doctrine thereof by his heresy.
[6139] By the nubentium contagium, Tertullian, in his Montanist rigour, censures those who married more than once.
[6141] Thus differing from Marcion.
[6142] The force of the subjunctive, ex qua fecerit.
[6143] Præstruens.
[6144] Porro.
[6145] In partes non devenire.
[6146] Ut faceret semetipsum.
[6147] Ut fieret de semetipso.
[6148] Non fieri.
[6149] Non ejus fieret conditionis.
[6150] Inveniri.
[6151] Porro.
