[37:1] And He said unto them, “These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms concerning me.” (Luke xxiii. 44.)

[48:1] It is the reading of Codices B and C of the Codex Sinaiticus of the Syriac, and of a number of Fathers and Versions.

[51:1] [Greek:  Hekastos gar tis apo merous tou spermatikou theiou logou to syngenes horon kalos ephthenxato.]

[63:1] For instance, in vol. ii. p. 42, &c., he speaks of one of Tischendorf’s assertions as “a conclusion the audacity of which can scarcely be exceeded.”—­Then, “This is, however, almost surpassed by the treatment of Canon Westcott.”—­Then, “The unwarranted inference of Tischendorf.”—­“There is no ground for Tischendorf’s assumption.”—­“Tischendorf, the self-constituted modern Defensor Fidei, asserts with an assurance which can scarcely be characterized otherwise than as an unpardonable calculation upon the ignorance of his readers.”—­“Canon Westcott says, with an assurance which, considering the nature of the evidence, is singular.”—­“Even Dr. Westcott states,” &c.—­For Tertullian his contempt seems unbounded:  indeed we way say the same of all the Fathers.  Numberless times does he speak of their “uncritical spirit.”  The only person for whom he seems to have a respect is the heretic Marcion.  Even rationalists, such as Credner and Ewald, are handled severely when they differ from him.  The above are culled from a few pages.

[69:1] [Greek:  Hoti Theos hypemeine gennethenai kai anthropos genesthai.]

[69:2] [Greek:  Ex hon diarrheden outous autos ho staurotheis hoti Theos kai anthropos, kai stauroumenos kai apothneskon kekerygmenos apodeiknytai.]

[70:1] The reader must remember that Justin puts this expression, which seems to imply a duality of Godhead, into the mouth of an adversary.  In other places, as I shall show, he very distinctly guards against such a notion, by asserting the true and proper Sonship of the Word and his perfect subordination to His Father.  There is a passage precisely similar in ch. lv.

[71:1] “I continued:  Moreover, I consider it necessary to repeat to you the words which narrate how He is both Angel and God and Lord, and Who appeared as a Man to Abraham.” (Dial. ch. lviii.)

“Permit me, further, to show you from the Book of Exodus, how this same One, Who is both Angel, and God, and Lord, and Man.” (Dial. ch. lix.)

“God begat before all creatures, a Beginning, a certain rational Power from Himself, Who is called by the Holy Spirit, now the Glory of the Lord, now the Son, again Wisdom, again an Angel, then God, and then Lord and Logos.” (Dial. ch. lxi.)

“The Word of Wisdom, Who is Himself this God, begotten of the Father of all things, and Word, and Wisdom, and Power, and the Glory of the Begetter, will bear evidence to me,” &c. (Dial. lxi.)
