64 [Dr. Holmes not uniformly, yet constantly inserts the prefix St. before the name of Paul, and brackets it, greatly disfiguring the page. It is not in our author's text, but I venture to dispense with the ever-recurring brackets.]
65 This is Oehler's arrangement of the chapter, for the sake of the sense. The former editions begin this third chapter with "Sedenim Marcion nactus."
72 Compare what has been already said in book i. chap. 20, and below in book v. chap. 3. See also Tertullian's treatise, De Praescript. Haeret. chap. 23. [Kaye, p. 275.]
80 That is, according to the Marcionite cavil.
85 Posterius revincetur. See De Praescriptione Haeret., which goes on this principle of time. Compare especially chapters xxix. and xxx. [p. 256, supra.]

111 [Not the Order of bishops (As we now speak) but of their succession from St. John. Jaye, p. 219.]
113 De societate sacramenti. [i.e. Catholic Unity.]
118 Favos. See Pliny, Nat. Hist. xi. 21.
119 Patrocinabitur. [Jones on the Canon, Vol. I. p. 66.]
121 See Hieronymus, Catal. Scriptt. Eccles. c. 8.

127 The Gospels of the apostles John and Matthew, and perhaps Mark's also, as being St. Peter's.
132 Apostolica, i.e., evangelia.

139 Posteritati falsariorum praescribentem.
140 [Mark the authority of churches. He uses the plural-quod ab omnibus.]

147 That is, between what is severe and judicial and punitive on one side, that is, the Creator's; and what is mild, merciful, and forgiving, on the other, that is, the Redeemer's side (Rigalt.).
