Introduction, by the American Editor.

[6928] Or, solitariness.

[6929] Or, Union.

V. On the Flesh of Christ.

[6939] In his work On the Resurrection of the Flesh (chap. ii.), Tertullian refers to this tract, and calls it “De Carne Domini adversus quatuor hæreses”: the four heresies being those of Marcion, Apelles, Basilides, and Valentinus. Pamelius, indeed, designates the tract by this fuller title instead of the usual one, “De Carne Christi.” [This tract contains references to works written while our author was Montanistic, but it contains no positive Montanism. It should not be dated earlier than a.d. 207.]

Chapter I.—The General Purport of This Work. The Heretics, Marcion, Apelles, and Valentinus, Wishing to Impugn the Doctrine of the Resurrection, Deprive Christ of All Capacity for Such a Change by Denying His Flesh.

[6940] Moratam.

[6941] The allusion is to Matt. xxii. 23; comp. De Præscr. Hæret. 33 (Fr. Junius).

[6942] Tertullian’s phrase is “carnis vota”—the future prospects of the flesh.

[6943] Certum est.

[6944] Ordo.

[6945] Τῷ δοκεῖν haberentur. This term gave name to the Docetic errors.

[6946] Opinio.

Chapter II.—Marcion, Who Would Blot Out the Record of Christ’s Nativity, is Rebuked for So Startling a Heresy.

[6947] Luke i. 26-38.

[6948] This is said in opposition to Marcion, who held the Creator’s angel, and everything else pertaining to him, to be evil.
