I. On the Pallium.

^[399] Sæculi.

^[400] Sæculi. Comp.1 Cor. x. 11; but the Greek there is, τὰ τέλη τῶν αιώνων. By the “blindness,” Tertullian may refer to Gen. xix. 11.

^[401] Or, “short” (Eng. ver.); 1 Cor. vii. 29. ὁ καιρὸς συνεσταλμενος, “in collecto.”

^[402] “Matrimonia,” neut. pl. again for the fem., the abstract for the concrete. See c. ii., “to multiply wives,” and the note there. In the Greek (1 Cor. vii. 29) it is γυναῖκας: but the ensuing chapter shows that Tertullian refers the passage to women as well.

Chapter VI.—Examples of Heathens Urged as Commendatory of Widowhood and Celibacy.

^[403] Comp. de Pa., xiii., and Matt. xix. 12. Comp. too, de Ex. Cast., c. i.

^[404] i.e., Gentile women.

^[405] Oehler marks this as a question.

^[406] Matt. iii. 12.

^[407] Comp. Rev. xii. 9, and de Bapt., 1.

^[408] Pietatis.

^[409] Gehennæ; comp. de Pæn., c. xii. ad init.

Chapter VII.—The Death of a Husband is God’s Call to the Widow to Continence. Further Evidences from Scripture and from Heathenism.

^[410] i.e., eternal life; comp. “consecutio æternitatis,” de Bapt., c. ii.

^[411] 1 Cor. xv. 53; 2 Cor. v. 4.

^[412] Sæculo.

^[413] Mundo.

^[414] “Matrimonio,” or “by matrimony.” Comp.1 Cor. vii. 27: δέδεσαι γυναικί; μὴ ζήτει λύσιν· λέλυσαι ἀπὸ γυναικός; μὴ ζήτει γυναῖκα. Tertullian’s rendering, it will be seen, is not verbatim.

^[415] “Matrimonio,” or “by matrimony.” Comp.1 Cor. vii. 27: δέδεσαι γυναικί; μὴ ζήτει λύσιν· λέλυσαι ἀπὸ γυναικός; μὴ ζήτει γυναῖκα. Tertullian’s rendering, it will be seen, is not verbatim.

^[416] 1 Cor. vii. 28.

^[417] Or, “been able”—valuimus. But comp. c. vi.

^[418] See c. iii., “quod autem necessitas præstat, depretiat ipsa,” etc.

^[419] 1 Tim. ii. 2; Tit. i. 6.
