[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.]

[8724] 1 Tim. v. 22; μηδενὶ omitted, ταχέως rendered by “facile,” and μηδἔ by “ne.”

[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.

The Editor’s interpolations, where purely gratuitous, I have even stricken out, though I agree with them. See that work of genius, the Liberty of Prophesying, by Jer. Taylor, sect. xviii. and its candid admissions.]
Chapter XIX.—Of the Times Most Suitable for Baptism.
[8737] Mark xiv. 13; Luke xxii. 10, “a small earthen pitcher of water.”
