⁵⁵⁸ "We have here the sense of Marcion's objection. I do not suppose Tertullian quotes his very words."-Le Prieur.

⁵⁹¹ This is the idea, apparently, of Tertullian's question: "Quis enim poterit diligere extraneos?" But a different turn is given to the sense in the older reading of the passage: Quis enim non diligens proximos poterit diligere extraneos? "For who that loveth not his neighbours will be able to love strangers?" The inserted words, however, were inserted conjecturally by Fulvius Ursinus without ms. authority.
