Cœlum alta sublimitate suspenderit. Hunc Novatiani locum imitatus fuisse videtur Minucius in Octavio, cap. 4, ubi hæc leguntur: Cœlum licet sua materia suspenderit, licet terram fundaverint pondera, et mare licet influxerit e liquore. His gemina item videas apud Lactantium Divin. Instit., lib. II, cap. 9, sub init. Neque omittas velim Theophilum ad Autolycum lib. I, cap 4.
"He hung the heaven with lofty height." Minucius in the Octavius, ch. 4, seems to have imitated this passage of Novatian; there we read: "Though the heaven be hung by its own matter, though weights have founded the earth, and though the sea has flowed in from liquid." You may see twin passages in Lactantius, Divine Institutes, book II, ch. 9, near the beginning. Nor, please, overlook Theophilus, To Autolycus, book I, ch. 4.

Mensurnis. Sic legimus ex ms. cod. Angl. pro menstruis; quod ea vox B. Cypriano etiam Afro usitata sit Epist. XXVIII, num. 11, et Epist. XXXIV, num. 23. Certe etiam sic legebat antea Gagnæus, PAMEL. — Neque aliter Whistonus, Welchmanus et Jacksonus.
"Mensurnis" (monthly). So we read from the English manuscript codex instead of "menstruis", because that word was in use also with the African, blessed Cyprian, Letter 28, no. 11, and Letter 34, no. 23. Certainly Gagnæus too read so before. PAMELIUS. — Nor otherwise Whiston, Welchman and Jackson.

Ne non etiam ipsis quoque deliciis procurasset. Est quidem hæc phrasis Tertullianica, quales infra aliæ quoque: ut denotatur, edici ac viritior cap. 2; qua pater cap. 12; confibularet cap. 18. Verum inde non sequi hunc librum Tertulliani esse vel ex eo patet, quod Afri scriptores omnes, etiam hoc posteriores, utpote B. Cyprianus, Minucius Felix, B. Pacianus et Arnobius similibus uti solent. PAMEL. — Aliter Gagnæus, apud quem sic legimus: Postea ut ipsis quoque delicias procuraret oculis. Sed lectio Pameliana cum editis ex codice Anglicano cohæret. Ventri procuratum est, habet Noster infra, de Cib. Judaic. cap. 6, eadem constructione. JACKSON.
"Lest He should not have provided also for delights themselves." This phrase is indeed Tertullianic, as are others below: such as "denotatur", "edici" and "viritior" in ch. 2; "qua pater" in ch. 12; "confibularet" in ch. 18. But that it does not follow from this that this book is Tertullian's is plain from the fact that all the African writers, even those later than him, such as blessed Cyprian, Minucius Felix, blessed Pacian and Arnobius, are wont to use similar expressions. PAMELIUS. — Gagnæus has it otherwise; in him we read: "Afterwards, that He might provide delights for the eyes themselves." But Pamelius's reading agrees with the editions from the English codex. Our author has "it was provided for the belly" below, On Jewish Foods, ch. 6, with the same construction. JACKSON.

"Tempered". The context seems to require that the word "Deus" (God) be added, omitted perhaps by the copyist because of its likeness to the following "Dum": this is the conjecture of Welchman and Jackson. Just after, whether you read "super terram" with Gagnæus or "super terra" with Gelenius and others makes no difference.

Melius Welchmanus, redemptionis. Sed nihil mutandum videtur. Alluserit fortasse auctor ad illud Luc. XIX, 10: Venit enim Filius hominis quærere et salvum facere quod perierat.
"Of finding". An unsuitable word to Jackson, who thinks "resurrectionis" (of resurrection) or "revelationis" (of revelation) should be written, from Rom. 8:20–21, to which he thinks Novatian was looking. Not very aptly. Better Welchman: "redemptionis" (of redemption). But nothing seems to need changing. The author may have been alluding to Luke 19:10: "For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost."

"Donasset" (had given). I would have preferred "condonasset" (had forgiven), had I not seen that Novatian used the word "donavi" in the same sense as here in the Letter to Cyprian written in the name of the Roman clergy. For so he renders Matt. 18:32: "I forgave you all that debt." JACKSON.

Angelos prius instituerit. Fuit non modo Novatiani hæc sententia, sed etiam B. Hieronymi in cap. I.

Firmiter credimus, tom. de summa Trinit. et Fide cathol. PAMEL.
"That he established the angels first." This was the view not only of Novatian but also of blessed Jerome on ch. 1 of the Letter to Titus, and of all the Greeks: that the angels were established first (that is, before every creature). But blessed Augustine, City of God book XI, chs. 5, 6 and 7, and book XII, ch. 15, and elsewhere, judges rather to be embraced the view that, according to Ecclus. 18:1, God created all things together. The Master of the Sentences follows this too, and after him the scholastic doctors; it was moreover defined in the Lateran Council under Innocent III and received into the Decretals, chapter "Firmiter credimus", title "On the Supreme Trinity and the Catholic Faith".

"For ... are themselves." So Pamelius edited it from Latinius's conjecture. Others: "For neither are the things that lie beneath the earth themselves." But to the two English editors it seems it should be read, with "nam" deleted: "Neither are the things that lie beneath the earth themselves", etc.

"For every spirit is a creature." What Pamelius here finds fault with, and thinks likewise displeased Rufinus, is very slight. For these words, "every spirit is a creature", in no way touch the Holy Spirit. Novatian is showing that God can be designated by men with no word that does not stray very far from that infinite majesty. Therefore, whether he is called light, or spirit, or fire, none of these is said of God aptly and fittingly, because both spirit and fire are creatures. "These things," he says, "are figures rather than what is so. For in the Old Testament too God is called Fire, that fear may be struck into a sinful people while he is shown as judge; and in the New Testament he is set forth as Spirit, that he may be proved the restorer and creator of those who were dead in their sins, through this goodness of the pardon granted to believers." Here you see that the names fire and spirit appear to be transferred by Novatian from material things; nor that he (meant) it to be said of the Holy Spirit (continues)

luisse, quod omnem spiritum creaturam esse. MARAN. Divin. D. N. J. C. lib. IV, cap. 10, § 3, p. 520. — Præiverat in eamdem sententiam Welchmanus: quem tamen locum, notatu sane dignissimum, transilit Jacksonus; qui alia cæteroquin vulgatissima fuse persequitur.
(continued) (nor that he) wished it to be said of the Holy Spirit, that every spirit is a creature. MARAN, On the Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, book IV, ch. 10, §3, p. 520. — Welchman had gone before him in the same view; yet Jackson passes over this place, truly most worthy of note, while he pursues at length other matters that are otherwise very commonplace.

"To all heretics, but also to those who hold the truth." Welchman seems to have conjectured rightly when he holds that "to the heretics themselves, but also to all who hold the truth" should be read.

"You ought to have come otherwise." Rightly "aliter" (otherwise), not "alter" (another), as Welchman conjectures.

Welchmanus autem conjiciebat rescribendum fabulare.
"Of the heretics ... body of fables." Others read, as Francis Junius notes, "hæreticarum", so that it refers to "fabularum" (heretical fables). But this is wrong. The same Junius rather suspects that "fabularium" should be read, a fabulous body: for one says "fabularis" and "fabularius", as "ollaris" and "ollarius". Hence the word "hæreticorum" is not to be disturbed: which I approve. JACKSON. Welchman, however, conjectured that "fabulare" should be written.

At cum caput 23, edit. Pemelii attigeram, argumentum de Christo Deo simul et homine intempestive hic intermissum, intempestivius illic instauratum reperi. Ulterius porro pergenti, varia de Christo Angelo exempla occurrerunt usque ad finem capitis 27, ubi de Jacobo transversas manus Manassi et Ephraimo imponenti agitur; et caput demum clauditur sententia, ad quam hæc verba, Ex quo manus ponere, etc., maxime spectant: capitis vero initium 28 nequaquam. At vero hæc aliaque quæ recensere nimis longum esset, observarim, haud mediocriter gavisus, sum, quod istam libri partem quam quasi penitus amissam deploraveram, integram sane, et loco solum alieno positam, tandem invenerim. De causa autem tantæ hujus confusionis dein cogitanti, nulla mihi tam probabilis visa est, quam bibliopegi incuria: qui codicis istius ex quo omnia quæ nunc habemus exemplaria manarunt, unum alterumve quaternionem extra ordinem suum conjecerit. Atque hæc eo probabilior visa est, quod paginarum versuumque in utraque parte sic male collocata, par fere sit numerus. Uctunque vero id sit, schedarum ordinem turbatum esse satis constat; et, exinde difficilis et obscura facta est Disputatio, facilis alias et aperta, uti nunc iterum reddita est, schedis ad propria loca reductis. WELCHMAN. — In eamdem sententiam post Welchmanum abit Jacksonus. Ante utrumque vero ejusmodi confusionem in Novatiano probe noverat Cotelerius in Monum Eccl. Gr., tom III, pag. 634, ubi et auctoris opus permistum in ordinem redigere studuit. Porro ut clarius pateat mutationis ratio novique ordinis restitutio, tabellam subjicimus, qua editio nostra collata cum Pameliana exhibetur. Edit. nov. / Edit Pamelii. CAPUT XV. . . est . . .

"But if from heaven", etc. In all the editions, after the words "where he was before", there follows straight on: "Whence to lay on hands, showing the figure and form of the passion to come. No one therefore doubts to call Christ as an Angel", etc. When I first read this I was astounded. For what is the point of "Whence to lay on hands", etc., and what business have we here with Christ as Angel, of whom there has been deep silence till now? What has become of all the examples of which he speaks shortly after? But when I had reached ch. 23 of Pamelius's edition, I found the argument about Christ as God and man together, broken off here out of season, resumed there more out of season still. Going on further, various examples of Christ as Angel met me up to the end of ch. 27, where it treats of Jacob laying his crossed hands on Manasseh and Ephraim; and the chapter at last closes with a sentence to which these words, "Whence to lay on hands", etc., most belong, but not at all the beginning of ch. 28. Having observed these and other things which it would take too long to review, I was not a little glad that I had at last found this part of the book, which I had lamented as almost wholly lost, wholly intact indeed and only set in the wrong place. Then, thinking about the cause of so great a confusion, none seemed to me so probable as the carelessness of a bookbinder, who threw one or two quires of that codex, from which all the copies we now have flowed, out of their order. And this seemed the more probable because the number of pages and lines on either side, so misplaced, is nearly equal. However that may be, it is quite certain that the order of the leaves was disturbed; and thence the Disputation became difficult and obscure, though otherwise easy and open, as it has now been made again, with the leaves brought back to their proper places. WELCHMAN. — Jackson, after Welchman, comes round to the same view. But before either of them Cotelier had well known of such a confusion in Novatian, in his Monumenta Ecclesiae Graecae, vol. III, p. 634, where he too tried to bring the author's jumbled work into order. Further, so that the reason for the change and the restoration of the new order may appear more clearly, we add a small table in which our edition is shown compared with Pamelius's.

Etenim, si hunc editorem Anglum audias, ita scripsisse Novatianus perhibetur: Ergo verbum Christi præstat immortalitatem, et per divinitatem præstat immortalitatem.
"Through immortality he bestows divinity." Welchman, not grasping the force of this passage, against the testimony of all preceding editions and without the authority of any manuscript codex, inverted these words and the following thus: "through divinity he bestows immortality — but by bestowing immortality through divinity — by holding out immortality", etc. Who, moreover, does not see, to pass over the rest, that by this transposition of words a tautology is brought into the author's text? For, if you listen to this English editor, Novatian is held to have written thus: "Therefore the word of Christ bestows immortality, and through divinity bestows immortality."

Nec magis de Spiritus sancti divinitate detrahit, quum eum hoc sensu æqualem Filio negat, quam de Filii, quum eum Patri subjicit, ut originis principio, a quo totam divinitatis auctoritatem accepit. Quin etiam divinitas Spiritus sancti non leviter commendatur hoc loco. Nam si Spiritus sanctus creatura esset, id non majus esset argumentum divinitatis Christi, quam quod cæteræ res creatæ ab eodem accipere dicuntur, deinde vero quod addit Novatianus, Christum a Spiritu sancto accepturum fuisse, si homo tantum esset aut Angelus (Angelum enim esse fatebantur hæretici): nonne argumento est, res omnes creatas, si modo ratione utantur, ex (continues)
"But if he received from Christ", etc. Pamelius finds fault with what Novatian here says of the Holy Spirit, and warns that it be read with caution. But on the principles of Novatian, who denies that the Son, in so far as he is begotten of the Father, is equal to the Father, it was entirely fitting and consistent that he should hold the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, to be less than both. Nor does he detract more from the divinity of the Holy Spirit when he denies him equal to the Son in this sense, than from the Son's when he places him under the Father as the principle of his origin, from whom he received the whole authority of divinity. Indeed, the divinity of the Holy Spirit is commended in no slight way in this place. For if the Holy Spirit were a creature, this would be no greater argument for the divinity of Christ than that the other created things are said to receive from him. Then again, what Novatian adds, that Christ would have had to receive from the Holy Spirit if he were only a man or an Angel (for the heretics admitted that he was an Angel): is it not proof that all created things, if only they use reason, (receive) from (continues)

Nimirum, auctor locum Geneseos XXI, 17 edisserens, ubi legitur; Exaudivit autem DEUS vocem pueri, vocavitque ANGELUS Dei Agar de cœlo, hæc habet: Hic Deus, — ANGELUS dictus, cum superius — DEUS esset potius, non alius intelligitur, etc. Perinde ac si dixisset: Qui dicitur Angelus Dei vocasse Agar de cœlo, hic antea Deus esse perhibetur qui exaudierit vocem pueri. Illud quoque accedit, emendatione Jacksoni admissa, vim orationis in Novatiani textu retundi; cum illud Deus esset potius plurimum valeat, contra vero frigore frigescat Jacksoniana restitutio Deus esset positus.
"God was rather." So the editions, every one. Jackson, however, thought the text should be emended, and printed "Deus esset positus" (God was set forth); because, he says, "potius" (rather) has no sense in the place. But I judge this emendation hardly admissible: for the common reading is found to yield a proper sense. The author, that is, expounding the place in Genesis 21:17, where we read: "And GOD heard the voice of the boy, and the ANGEL of God called Hagar from heaven", says this: "This God — called an ANGEL, though above — was rather GOD, no other is understood", etc. As if he had said: he who is said to be the Angel of God who called Hagar from heaven is the one declared before to be God who heard the voice of the boy. There is this too: if Jackson's emendation is admitted, the force of the sentence in Novatian's text is blunted; for "Deus esset potius" carries great weight, whereas Jackson's restoration "Deus esset positus" grows cold with chill.

For if all things ... And if any Angel. So exactly Pamelius reads and supplies, partly from Gagny's earlier edition. Yet the passage still seems tangled. A learned man has pointed out that the words gods, rightly also Christ God seemed to be Gagny's addition, and were left out by Gelenius, with the British manuscript to back him; and its reading, with the one word subjecti or subditi added after the verb dicuntur, yields this sound sense: For if, all things heavenly, earthly and infernal being subject to Christ, even the Angels themselves, with all the rest whatever are subject, are called (subject or subordinate) to Christ: and yet any Angel, etc. This, as I at least think, is the genuine reading.

Welchman and Jackson labour in vain in trying to disturb this reading of the earlier editions, rewriting humanae conditionis fragilitatem ("the frailty of the human condition"). Minucius, in the Octavius, ch. 36, is found using the same manner of speech, Corporis humana vitia for corporis humani vitia.

Both, however, without weighty cause, as it seems. Nor do I approve the same Jackson's view, reading a little after immortalis anima ("the immortal soul"). For [anim as printed] everyone sees that the word immortalitatis belongs with generositatem; and all ambiguity, if there is any, vanishes when Novatian's sentence is shaped in this or a similar way: For if the soul in any man has this nobility of immortality, that it cannot be killed, etc.

To Christ my Lord. Whereas the Seventy had written Κύρῳ ("to Cyrus"), the copyists, thinking Isaiah was speaking of Christ Jesus and not attending to Cyrus, took up the neighbouring word Κυρίῳ ("to the Lord") and so long ago corrupted the passage of Scripture [Sbripturae as printed]. Hence Tertullian, Against the Jews ch. 7 and Against Praxeas chs. 11 and 28; Cyprian, Testimonia bk. I ch. 21; NOVATIAN here, with very many, Greek as well as Latin, cited by Jerome on this text (Isa. 45:1) and on Habakkuk 3:3, read κυρίῳ and interpret it of Christ the Lord.

These two passages ... the eyes being dug out. Namely John 10:30 and 14:9, in which, says the author [aucor as printed], the heretic rejoiced as in two eyes: but of these one was dug out for him in this chapter, the other in the one just before. WELCHMAN. — Since this meaning is recognized as plain enough to anyone who attends seriously, what pleased Jackson does not seem acceptable, namely his ruling that the true reading is effusis luminibus ("the eyes being poured out"), which Wower's manuscript shows [exibet as printed].

Et haec quidem, etc. Queritur hic Pamelius Spiritum sanctum a Novatiano Deum non appellari, nec ullam ejus mentionem fieri, cum Patrem et Filium unum esse Deum hocce in capite auctor demonstrat. Sanctum quidem Spiritum nominatim non appellat Deum Novatianus: sed de illius divina aeternitate in cap. praecedente non silet, et Deum esse multis argumentis probat. Quid enim ei propositum est, cum divina illius attributa defendit: nisi ut probet, quod se probaturum promiserat, nempe oportere credere etiam in Spiritum sanctum, ac proinde eum unum esse cum Patre et Filio Deum? Unde etiam postquam ea absolvit quae de Spiritu sancto dicere statuerat, sic initio hujus capitis tres personas conjungit; Et haec quidem de Patre, et de Filio, et de Spiritu sancto breviter nobis sint dicta. Quod si tacere de Spiritu videtur Novatianus, dum Patrem et Filium non duos esse Deos, sed unum ostendit; non aliunde quaerenda hujus rei causa, nisi quod in evertenda Filii divinitate omnis haereticorum conatus versabatur. Nam si semel probassent Filium non esse unum cum Patre Deum, eadem opera Spiritum sanctum a Divinae naturae consortio dissociassent. Sic etiam semel demonstrato, Patrem et Filium per substantiae communionem, ut ait Novatianus, unum esse Deum; non jam superaret dubitandi locus, quin Spiritus sancti divinitas nequaquam tres Deos efficeret. MARAN. Divin. D. N. J. C., lib, cap. 19, § 3, pag. 521.
And these things indeed, etc. Pamelius complains here that the Holy Spirit is not called God by Novatian, nor is any mention made of him, when in this chapter the author shows that the Father and the Son are one God. Novatian does not, indeed, call the Holy Spirit God by name: but in the preceding chapter he is not silent about his divine eternity, and proves by many arguments that he is God. For what is his purpose, when he defends his divine attributes, except to prove what he had promised to prove, namely that one must believe also in the Holy Spirit, and therefore that he is one God with the Father and the Son? Hence too, once he has finished what he had resolved to say about the Holy Spirit, at the beginning of this chapter he joins the three persons thus: And let these things about the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit have been said by us briefly. And if Novatian seems silent about the Spirit while he shows that the Father and the Son are not two Gods but one, the cause of this is to be sought nowhere else than in this: that the whole effort of the heretics was spent on overthrowing the divinity of the Son. For had they once proved that the Son is not one God with the Father, by the same stroke they would have separated the Holy Spirit from fellowship in the divine nature. So too, once it was shown that the Father and the Son are one God through communion of substance, as Novatian says, no room for doubt would remain that the divinity of the Holy Spirit by no means made three Gods.

Ut non aut dissonantia, aut inaequalitate, Fatebor ingenue in his verbis legendum mihi videri aequalitate. Utrumque enim pari studio removet auctor a sanctissima Trinitate, et in natura et substantia discrepantiam, et in originis ordine aequalitatem. Quare substantiae communionem inter Patrem et Filium admittit, eamque in hoc positam putat, quod tota divinitatis auctoritas Filio tradita, eadem in Patre esse non desinat. Sed illud semper arctissime tenet Filium ut a Patre genitum non esse origine aequalem Patri. Quare illud Pauli Philipp. II, 6: Non rapinam arbitratus est esse se aequalem Deo, sic interpretatur: « Quamvis se ex Deo Patre Deum esse meminisset, nunquam se Deo Patri aut comparavit aut contulit, memor se esse ex suo Patre, et hoc ipsum quod est, habere se, quia Pater dedisset. » MARAN. Divin. D. N. J. C. lib. IV, cap 19, § 2, pag. 519.
So that not either by discord or by inequality. I will frankly confess that in these words it seems to me aequalitate ("by equality") should be read. For the author removes both from the most holy Trinity with equal zeal: discrepancy in nature and substance, and equality in the order of origin. So he admits a communion of substance between Father and Son, and holds that it consists in this, that the whole authority of the divinity handed to the Son does not cease to be the same in the Father. But he always holds most firmly that the Son, as begotten by the Father, is not equal to the Father in origin. So he interprets Paul's words, Phil 2:6, He did not count it robbery to be equal to God, thus: "Although he remembered that he was God from God the Father, he never compared or set himself beside God the Father, mindful that he was from his Father, and that he had this very thing that he is because the Father had given it."

Manente in illo ("there remaining in Him"). The place seemed very obscure to Pamelius and, as far as appears, mutilated or corrupt. Gagny read manentem in se quod audivit ab illo ("remaining in himself what he heard from him"); Welchman, reading manentem for manente by adding one small letter, judged that the sentence runs correctly and that the author alludes to Heb 5:7 in the words auditus est ("he was heard"). In Jackson [Aqud as printed], however, a learned man conjectured that it should be rewritten manens et in illo, cui etiam subditus est ("remaining also in Him to whom He is also subject"); yet this reading seems to depart too far from the text of the copy.
