[9020] i.e. us Christians.
[9021] i.e. cynical = κυνικός = doglike. But Tertullian appears to use “caninæ” purposely, and I have therefore retained it rather than substitute (as Mr. Dodgson does) “cynical.”
[9022] i.e. the affectation is modelled by insensibility.
[9023] See Ps. lxxiv. 23 in A.V. It is Ps. lxxiii. in the LXX.
[9024] Because they see no visible proof of it.
[9025] Sæculo.
Chapter III.—Jesus Christ in His Incarnation and Work a More Imitable Example Thereof.
[9026] So Mr. Dodgson; and La Cerda, as quoted by Oehler. See Ps. cxxxi. 1 in LXX., where it is Ps. cxxx.
[9028] I have followed Oehler’s reading of this very difficult and much disputed passage. For the expression, “having been trained,” etc., compare Heb. v. 8.
[9030] Or, “yet had there been need of contumelies likewise for the undergoing of death?”
[9031] “Obsequium,” distinguished by Döderlein from “obedientia,” as a more voluntary and spontaneous thing, founded less on authority than respect and love.
[9032] Obsequii.
[9033] “Pollicetur,” not “promittit.”
[9034] Obedientiam.
[9035] “Subnixis.” Perhaps this may be the meaning, as in Virg. Æn. iv. 217. But Oehler notices “subnexis” as a conjecture of Jos. Scaliger, which is very plausible, and would mean nearly the same. Mr. Dodgson renders “supported by their slavery;” and Oehler makes “subnixis” ="præditis,” “instructis.” [Elucidation II.]
[9036] Obsequii.
[9037] Pecudibus,” i.e. tame domestic cattle.
[9038] “Bestiis,” irrational creatures, as opposed to “homines,” here apparently wild beasts.
[9039] Obsequii. For the sentiment, compare Isa. i. 3.
[9040] Obsequii.
