[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.
[8731] Matt. xix. 14; Mark x. 14; Luke xviii. 16.
[8732] Or, “whither they are coming.”
[8733] i.e. in baptism.
[8734] Sæcularibus.
[8735] See beginning of chapter, [where Luke vi. 30, is shown to be abused].
[8736] Virginibus; but he is speaking about men as well as women. Comp. de Orat. c. xxii. [I need not point out the bearings of the above chapter, nor do I desire to interpose any comments. 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.”
[8738] [He means the whole fifty days from the Paschal Feast till Pentecost, including the latter. Bunsen Hippol. III. 18.]
[8739] Lavacris.
[8740] Frequentata, i.e. by His frequent appearance. See Acts i. 3, δι᾽ ἡμερῶν τεσσαράκοντα ὀπτανόμενος αὐτοῖς.
[8741] Comp. Acts 1.10; Luke 9.30: in each place St. Luke says, ἄνδρες δύο: as also in Luke 24.4 of his Gospel.
[8742] Acts i. 10, 11; but it is οὐρανόν throughout in the Greek.
[8743] Jer. xxxi. 8, xxxviii. 8 in LXX., where ἐν ἑορτῇ φασέκ is found, which is not in the English version.
Chapter XX.—Of Preparation For, and Conduct After, the Reception of Baptism.
