Anti-Marcion
Show All Footnotes & Jump to 6287
Introduction, by the American Editor.
[6277] Destructionibus. “Ruin of character” is the true idea of this strong term.
[6278] Præstructione. The notion is of the foundation of an edifice: here ="preliminary remarks” (see our Anti-Marcion, v. 5, p. 438).
[6279] Articuli.
[6280] Utrumque utrique.
[6281] Alterum alteri.
[6282] Boni matrix.
[6283] The usual reading is “Hermogenes.” Rigaltius, however, reads “Hermogenis,” of which Oehler approves; so as to make Tertullian say, “I cannot tell how I can avoid the opinion of Hermogenes, who,” etc. etc.
[6284] Per substantiæ suggestum.
[6285] Excusas jam causam. Hermogenes held that Matter was eternal, to exclude God from the authorship of evil. This causa of Matter he was now illogically evading. Excusare = ex, causa, “to cancel the cause.”
[6286] De præjudicio alieno.
[6287] Unici Dei.
[6288] Rom. 11.34-35; Isa. 40.14.
[6289] De aliquo.
[6290] Adeo ut fecerit.
Chapter XVIII.—An Eulogy on the Wisdom and Word of God, by Which God Made All Things of Nothing.
[6291] Sophiam suam scilicet.
[6292] Apud.
[6295] Or the “inquit” may indicate the very words of “Wisdom.”
[6296] Fontes. Although Oehler prefers Junius’ reading “montes,” he yet retains “fontes,” because Tertullian (in ch. xxxii. below) has the unmistakable reading “fontes” in a like connection.
[6297] Compingens.
