Introduction, by the American Editor.

[6639] Dedi.

[6640] i.e., without wisdom.

[6641] Concutere.

Chapter III.—The Folly of This Heresy. It Dissects and Mutilates the Deity. Contrasted with the Simple Wisdom of True Religion. To Expose the Absurdities of the Valentinian System is to Destroy It.

[6642] Torqueat.

[6643] Per anfractus.

[6644] Nec semel totus.

[6645] By this remark it would seem that Tertullian read sundry passages in his Latin Bible similarly to the subsequent Vulgate version. For instance, in Zech. vi. 12, the prophet’s words הִנֵּה־אִישׁ צֵמַ שְׁמןֹ (“Behold the Man, whose name is the Branch”), are rendered in the Vulgate, “Ecce Vir Oriens nomen ejus.” Similarly in Zech. iii. 8, “Servum meum adducam Orientem.” (Compare Luke i. 78, where the ᾽Ανατολὴ ἐξ ὕψ·ους (“the day-spring from on high”) is in the same version “Oriens ex alto.”)

[6646] Or, perhaps, “whom it (nature) feels in all its works.”

[6647] Alioquin.

[6648] Alloquin a turba eorum et aliam frequentiam suadere: which perhaps is best rendered, “But from one rabble of gods to frame and teach men to believe in another set,” etc.

[6649] A nutricula.

[6650] Inter somni difficultates.

[6651] These were child’s stories at Carthage in Tertullian’s days.

[6652] Apostoli spiritus: see 1 Tim. i. 4.

[6653] Detectorem.

[6654] Designatorem.

[6655] Totius conscientiæ illorum.

[6656] Tanto impendio.

Chapter IV.—The Heresy Traceable to Valentinus, an Able But Restless Man. Many Schismatical Leaders of the School Mentioned. Only One of Them Shows Respect to the Man Whose Name Designates the Entire School.

[6657] Enim.

[6658] Martyrii.

[6659] Conversus.
