Part Fourth

Footnotes

^[1667] “Fatentur,” unless our author use it passively ="are confessed.”

^[1668] “Possunt,” i.e., probably “have the hardihood.”

^[1669] Because Christ plainly, as they understood Him, “made Himself the Son of God;” and hence, if they confessed that He had said the truth, and yet that they hanged Him on a tree, they would be pronouncing their own condemnation.

^[1670] “Vinctam” for “victam” I read here.

^[1671] i.e., you and the Jews. See above on 185.

^[1672] Quod qui præsumpsit mergentes spargitis ambo. What the meaning is I know not, unless it be this: if any one hints to you that you are in an error which is sinking you into perdition, you both join in trying to sink him (if “mergentes” be active; or “while you are sinking,” if neuter), and in sprinkling him with your doctrine (or besprinkling him with abuse).

^[1673] Mundus.

^[1674] “Dum carnis membra requirit,” i.e., seeking to regain for God all the limbs of the flesh as His instruments. Comp.Rom. vi. 13, 19.

^[1675] Ligno.

^[1676] “Scriblita,” a curious word.

^[1677] Fel miscetur aceto. The reading may have arisen—and it is not confined to our author—from confounding ὄξος with οἶνος. Comp. Matt. 27.33; Mark 15.23

^[1678] This is an error, if the “coat” be meant.

^[1679] Perhaps for “in illa” we should read “in illam”—“on it,” for “in it.”

^[1680] The Jews.

^[1681] For “ante diem quam cum pateretur” I have read “qua tum.”

^[1682] Or, “deed”—“factum.”

^[1683] Or, “is being poured”—“funditur.”

^[1684] Mundi.

^[1685] I read with Migne, “Patris sub imagine virtus,” in preference to the conjecture which Oehler follows, “Christi sub imagine virtus.” The reference seems clearly to be to Heb. i. 3.

^[1686] Ævo. Perhaps here ="eternity.”

^[1687] i.e., “The All-Holder.”
