Introduction, by the American Editor.
[7157] Animalis.
[7158] Factiuncula.
[7159] Informatam.
[7160] Volutabant: see Lactantius, iv. 22.
[7161] De nobis probatum est: or, perhaps, “has been proved to have happened in our own case.”
[7162] Ps. viii. 6, Sept.
[7164] Isa. liii. 3, Sept.
[7165] Ex incorruptela.
[7166] Corruptela.
[7167] Although Tertullian dignifies him with an ille, we have no particulars of this man. [It may be that this is an epithet, rather than a name, given to some enemy of truth like Alexander the “Coppersmith” (2 Tim. iv. 14) or like that (1 Tim. i. 20), blasphemer, whose character suits the case.]
[7168] Census.
[7169] So Bp. Kaye renders “carnem peccati.” [See his valuable note, p. 253.]
[7170] We take the meminerimus to refer “to the Creed.”
[7171] Suggestu.
[7172] Naturam.
[7173] Culpam.
[7174] “Tertullian, referring to St. Paul, says of Christ: ‘Evacuavit peccatum in carne;’ alluding, as I suppose, to Romans viii. 3. But the corresponding Greek in the printed editions is κατέκρινε τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἐν τῇ σαρκί (‘He condemned sin in the flesh’). Had Tertullian a different reading in his Greek mss., or did he confound Rom. 8.3; 6.6, ἵνα καταργηθῇ τὸ σῶμα τὴς ἁμαρτίας (‘that the body of sin might be destroyed’)? Jerome translates the Greek καταργέω by ‘evacuo,’ c. xvi. See Adv. Marcionem, ver. 14. Dr. Neander has pointed out two passages in which Tertullian has ‘damnavit or damnaverit delinquentiam in carne.’ See de Res. Carnis. 46; de Pudicitiâ. 17.”—Bp. Kaye.
[7175] Also in Rom. viii. 3.
[7176] Peccatricis carnis.
[7177] Viri.
