[1417] Faith is called so, as being the reflection of divine reason.
[1418] i.e., the praise of Christ Himself. See Matt. 11.7-15; Luke 7.24-30; John 5.33-35.
[1419] i.e., perhaps “render acceptable.”
[1420] See above, 91–99.
[1421] i.e., teeth which He contemned, for His people’s sake: not that they are to us contemptible.
[1422] i.e., perhaps permeating, by the influence of His death, the tombs of all the old saints.
[1423] i.e., undertaking our debts in our stead.
[1424] Adam. See Rom. v., passim.
[1425] It is an idea of the genuine Tertullian, apparently, that Eve was a “virgin” all the time she was with Adam in Paradise. A similar idea appears in the “Genesis” above.

[1432] “The Lion of the tribe of Juda.” Rev. v. 5.
[1433] Viro. This use of “man” may be justified, to say nothing of other arguments, from Jer. xliv. 19, where “our men” seem plainly ="our husbands.” See marg.
[1434] Virgo: a play on the word in connection with the “viro” and what follows.
[1435] Vir.
[1436] i.e., Adam’s. The constructions, as will be seen, are oddly confused throughout, and I rather suspect some transposition of lines.
[1437] Mulier.
