Further, even if we should desire to prove you to be\r\nslayers of the prophets, it would be too long a task to collect\r\nthe evidence through all the several instances of the slaughter\r\nwhich your infuriated leaders of the Circumcelliones, and the\r\nactual crowds of men inflamed by wine and madness, not only\r\nhave committed since the beginning of your schism, but even\r\ncontinue to commit at the present time. To take the case\r\nnearest at hand. Let the divine utterances be produced, which\r\nare commonly in the hands of both of us. Let us consider\r\nthose to be murderers of the prophets whom we find contradicting\r\nthe words of the prophets. What more learned\r\ndefinition could be given? What could admit of speedier\r\nproof? You would be acting less cruelly in piercing the<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_271\">[Pg 271]</a></span>\r\nbodies of the prophets with a sword, than in endeavouring to\r\ndestroy the words of the prophets with your tongue. The\r\nprophet says, \"All the ends of the world shall remember and\r\nturn unto the Lord.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_721_721\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_721_721\">[721]</a> Behold and see how this is being\r\ndone, how it is being fulfilled. But you not only close your\r\nears in disbelief against what is said, but you even thrust\r\nout your tongues in madness to speak against what is already\r\nbeing done. Abraham heard the promise, \"In thy seed shall\r\nall the nations of the earth be blessed;\"<a id=\"FNanchor_722_722\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_722_722\">[722]</a> and \"he believed,\r\nand it was counted unto him for righteousness.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_723_723\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_723_723\">[723]</a> You see\r\nthe fact accomplished, and you cry out against it; and you\r\nwill not that it should be counted unto you for unrighteousness,\r\nas it fairly would be counted, even if your refusal to\r\nbelieve was not on the accomplishment, but only on the\r\nutterance of the prophecy. Nay, not only are you not willing\r\nthat it should be counted unto you for unrighteousness,\r\nbut even what you suffer as the punishment of this impiety\r\nyou would fain have counted unto you for righteousness. Or\r\nif your conduct is not a persecution of the prophets, because\r\nyour instrument is not the sword but the tongue, what was\r\nthe reason of its being said under divine inspiration, \"The\r\nsons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their\r\ntongue a sharp sword?\"<a id=\"FNanchor_724_724\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_724_724\">[724]</a> But what time would suffice me\r\nto collect from all the prophets all the testimonies to the\r\nChurch dispersed throughout the world, all of which you\r\nendeavour to destroy and render nought by contradicting\r\nthem? But you are caught; for \"their sound is gone out\r\ninto all lands, and their words to the end of the world.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_725_725\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_725_725\">[725]</a> I\r\nwill, however, advance this one saying from the mouth of the\r\nLord, who is the Witness of witnesses: \"All things must be\r\nfulfilled,\" He says, \"which were written in the law of Moses,\r\nand in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me.\" And\r\nwhat these were let us hear from Himself: \"Then opened He\r\ntheir understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures,\r\nand said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved\r\nChrist to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third\r\nday: and that repentance and remission of sins should be<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_272\">[Pg 272]</a></span>\r\npreached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_726_726\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_726_726\">[726]</a>\r\nSee what it is that is written in the law of Moses,\r\nand in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning the Lord.\r\nSee what the Lord Himself revealed about Himself and about\r\nthe Church, making Himself manifest, uttering promises about\r\nthe Church. But for you, see that you resist such manifest\r\nproofs as these, and as you cannot destroy them, endeavour to\r\npervert them, what would you do, if you were to come across\r\nthe bodies of the prophets, when you rage so madly against\r\nthe utterances of the prophets, as not even to hearken to the\r\nLord when He is fulfilling, and making manifest, and expounding\r\nthe prophets? For do you not, to the utmost of\r\nyour power, strive to slay the Lord Himself, since even to\r\nHimself you will not yield?</p>","headings":["WRITINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE DONATIST CONTROVERSY.","BOOK SECOND."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45843-paragraph-462"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"c41bdefdc8fdad2297f5dde547e67a23826fa9b59d20c395e6dbf00b7ec7c685","edition_title":"Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy","edition_translators":["John Richard King"],"edition_year":1872,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"PSA","chapter":57,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Ps. lvii. 5","verse":5,"verse_end":5}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45843-Footnote_724_724","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Provider catalog reports public domain in the USA.
