I. On Repentance.

^[8778] Ps. ciii. 22.

^[8779] Isa. vi. 3; Rev. iv. 8.

^[8780] Isa. xxx. 18.

^[8781] 1 Tim. ii. 1.

^[8782] Matt. v. 44.

Chapter IV.—The Third Clause.

^[8783] Mr. Dodgson renders, “next to this clause;” but the “forma” referred to seems, by what Tertullian proceeds to add, to be what he had said above, “not that it becomes us to wish God well,” etc.

^[8784] We learn from this and other places, that the comparative adverb was wanting in some ancient formulæ of the Lord’s Prayer. [See Routh, Opuscula I. p. 178.]

^[8785] See note 3.

^[8786] John vi. 38.

^[8787] For this use of the word “provoke,” see Heb. x. 24, Eng. ver.

^[8788] [Something we might think other than good.]

^[8789] Luke xxii. 42.

Chapter V.—The Fourth Clause.

^[8790] Prov. xxi. 1.

^[8791] Or, “world,” sæculo.

^[8792] Or, “world,” sæculi. See Matt. xxiv. 3, especially in the Greek. By “praying for some protraction in the age,” Tertullian appears to refer to some who used to pray that the end might be deferred (Rigalt.).

^[8793] altari.

^[8794] Rev. vi. 10.

^[8795] So Dodgson aptly renders “dirigitur a.”

^[8796] [See Ad Nationes, p. 128, supra.]

Chapter VI.—The Fifth Clause.

^[8797] This is a slight mistake of Tertullian. The words referred to, “Seek ye first,” etc., do not occur till the end of the chapter in which the prayer is found, so that his pluperfect is out of place. [He must have been aware of this: he only gives logical order to the thought which existed in the divine mind. See note 10, p. 682.]

^[8798] Matt. vi. 33.
