[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.
[9041] See above, “the creatures…acknowledge their masters.”
[9042] Obsequio.
[9043] Obsequio.
[9044] “Oblectatur” Oehler reads with the mss. The editors, as he says, have emended “Obluctatur,” which Mr. Dodgson reads.
[9045] See the previous chapter.
[9046] See the previous chapter.
[9047] See chap. i.
[9048] [All our author’s instances of this principle of the Præscriptio are noteworthy, as interpreting its use in the Advs. Hæreses.]
Chapter V.—As God is the Author of Patience So the Devil is of Impatience.
[9049] “Procedere:” so Oehler, who, however, notices an ingenious conjecture of Jos. Scaliger—“procudere,” the hammering out, or forging.
[9050] Tertullian may perhaps wish to imply, in prayer. See Matt. vi. 7.
[9051] Facere. But Fulv. Ursinus (as Oehler tells us) has suggested a neat emendation—“favere,” favours.
[9052] See Ps. viii. 4-6.
[9053] Compare the expression in de Idol. iv., “perdition of blood” ="bloody perdition,” and the note there. So here “angel of perdition” may ="lost angel.”
