Introduction, by the American Editor.

[7777] [This statement may only denote a withdrawal from the communion of the Bishop of Rome, like that of Cyprian afterwards. That prelate had stultified himself and broken faith with Tertullian; but, it does not, necessarily, as Bp. Bull too easily concludes, define his ultimate separation from his own bishop and the North-African church.]

[7778] Matt. xiii. 30.

Chapter II.—The Catholic Doctrine of the Trinity and Unity, Sometimes Called the Divine Economy, or Dispensation of the Personal Relations of the Godhead.

[7779] The Church afterwards applied this term exclusively to the Holy Ghost. [That is, the Nicene Creed made it technically applicable to the Spirit, making the distinction marked between the generation of the Word and the procession of the Holy Ghost.]

[7780] The “Comforter.”

[7781] See our Anti-Marcion, p. 119, n. 1. Edin.

[7782] See his De Præscript. xxix.

[7783] Tertullian uses similar precaution in his argument elsewhere. See our Anti-Marcion, pp. 3 and 119. Edin.

[7784] οἰκονομία.

[7785] Dirigens.

[7786] Statu.

[7787] See The Apology, ch. xxi.

[7788] Specie.

[7789] See Bull’s Def. Fid. Nic., and the translation (by the translator of this work), in the Oxford Series, p. 202.

Chapter III.—Sundry Popular Fears and Prejudices. The Doctrine of the Trinity in Unity Rescued from These Misapprehensions.

[7790] οἰκονυμία.

[7791] So Bp. Kaye, On Tertullian, p. 499.

[7792] Unicum.

[7793] This was a notion of Praxeas. See ch. x.

[7794] Tam unicis.

[7795] Dan. vii. 10.

[7796] “Pignora” is often used of children and dearest relations.

[7797] [The first sentence of this chapter is famous for a controversy between Priestly and Bp. Horsley, the latter having translated idiotæ by the word idiots. See Kaye, p. 498.]

Chapter IV.—The Unity of the Godhead and the Supremacy and Sole Government of the Divine Being. The Monarchy Not at All Impaired by the Catholic Doctrine.
