I. On Repentance.

[8509] Cf. Psa. 22.1; 38.8; Heb. 5.7.

[8510] Tertullian changes here to the second person, unless Oehler’s “tuum” be a misprint for “suum.”

[8511] “Suæ,” which looks as if the “tuum” above should be “suum.” [St. James v. 16.]

Chapter X.—Of Men’s Shrinking from This Second Repentance and Exomologesis, and of the Unreasonableness of Such Shrinking.

[8512] [Elucidation III.]

[8513] Prodactæ.

[8514] Per. But “per,” according to Oehler, is used by Tertullian as ="propter” —on your account, for your sake.

[8515] Metus.

[8516] 1 Cor. xii. 26.

[8517] In uno et altero.

[8518] See Matt. xviii. 20.

[8519] i.e. as being His body.

[8520] Or, “the Son.” Comp. John xi. 41, 42.

[8521] Or, “by the grace.”

Chapter XI.—Further Strictures on the Same Subject.

[8522] Quod securium virgarumque petitio sustinet.

[8523] “Quæ,” neut. pl.

[8524] Isa. v. 18 (comp. the LXX.).

Chapter XII.—Final Considerations to Induce to Exomologesis.

[8525] Gehennam. Comp. ad Ux.ii. c. vi. ad fin.

[8526] Fumariola, i.e. the craters of volcanoes.

[8527] Superbissimi: perhaps a play on the word, which is connected with “super” and “superus,” as “haughty” with “high.”

[8528] For Tertullian’s distinction between “the Lord’s baptism” and “John’s” see de Bapt. x.

[8529] Or “celandine,” which is perhaps only another form of “chelidonia” (“Chelidonia major,” Linn.).
