Chapter 2

Notes

1. 1

   i.e. us Christians.

2. 2

   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.”

3. 3

   i.e. the affectation is modelled by insensibility.

4. 4

   See Ps. lxxiv. 23 in A.V. It is Ps. lxxiii. in the LXX.

5. 5

   Because they see no visible proof of it.

6. 6

   Sæculo.
