[8710] i.e. the powers of administering baptism and “sowing the word.” [i.e. “The Keys.” Scorpiace, p. 643.]
[8711] Dicatum.
[8712] 1 Cor. x. 23, where μοι in the received text seems interpolated.
[8713] Or, as Oehler explains it, of your power of baptizing, etc.
[8714] Quintilla. See c. i.
[8715] Evenerit. Perhaps Tertullian means literally—though that sense of the word is very rare—“shall issue out of her,” alluding to his “pariet” above.
[8716] See c. i. ad fin.
[8717] The allusion is to a spurious work entitled Acta Pauli et Theclæ. [Of which afterwards. But see Jones, on the Canon, II. p. 353, and Lardner, Credibility, II. p. 305.]
[8718] Decessisse.
[8719] Mulieri.
[8720] Fœminæ.
Chapter XVIII.—Of the Persons to Whom, and the Time When, Baptism is to Be Administered.
[8722] Luke vi. 30. [See note 4, p. 676.]
[8724] 1 Tim. v. 22; μηδενὶ omitted, ταχέως rendered by “facile,” and μηδἔ by “ne.”
[8725] “Exertam,” as in c. xii.: “probatio exerta,” “a conspicuous proof.”
[8726] Comp. Acts viii. 26-40.
[8727] Acts 8.28,30,32,33; Isa. 53.7-8, especially in LXX. The quotation, as given in Acts, agrees nearly verbatim with the Cod. Alex. there.
[8728] Tertullian seems to have confused the “Judas” with whom Saul stayed (Acts ix. 11) with the “Simon” with whom St. Peter stayed (Acts ix. 43); and it was Ananias, not Judas, to whom he was pointed out as “an appointed vessel,” and by whom he was baptized. [So above, he seems to have confounded Philip, the deacon, with Philip the apostle.]
[8729] See note 24, [where Luke vi. 30 is shown to be abused].
[8730] Tertullian has already allowed (in c. xvi) that baptism is not indispensably necessary to salvation.
