Testimonia

What need is there of further disputation here, seeing\r\nthat we have already handled with the utmost care that very\r\nepistle to Jubaianus of which he has made mention? And\r\nas to what he has said here, let us not forget that it might be\r\nsaid of all unrighteous men who, as he himself bears witness,\r\nare in the Catholic Church, and whose power of possessing\r\nand of conferring baptism is not questioned by any of us.\r\nFor they come to the Church, who pass to Christ from the\r\nparty of the devil, and build upon the rock, and are incorporated\r\nwith the Dove, and are placed in security in the garden\r\nenclosed and fountain sealed; where none of those are found\r\nwho live contrary to the precepts of Christ, wherever they may\r\nseem to be. For in the epistle which he wrote to Magnus,\r\nwhile discussing this very question, he himself warned us at\r\nsufficient length, and in no ambiguous terms, of what kind of\r\nsociety we should understand that the Church consists. For\r\nhe says, in speaking of a certain man, \"Let him become an\r\nalien and profane, an enemy to the peace and unity of the\r\nLord, not dwelling in the house of God, that is to say, in the\r\nChurch of Christ, in which none dwell save those who are of\r\none heart and of one mind.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_613_613\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_613_613\">[613]</a> Let those, therefore, who would\r\nlay injunctions on us on the authority of Cyprian, pay attention\r\nfor a time to what we here say. For if only those who\r\nare of one heart and of one mind dwell in the Church of<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_222\">[Pg 222]</a></span>\r\nChrist, beyond all question those were not dwelling in the\r\nChurch of Christ, however much they might appear to be\r\nwithin, who of envy and contention were announcing Christ\r\nwithout charity; by whom he understands, not the heretics\r\nand schismatics who are mentioned by the Apostle Paul,<a id=\"FNanchor_614_614\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_614_614\">[614]</a> but\r\nfalse brethren holding conversation with him within, who\r\ncertainly ought not to have baptized, because they were not\r\ndwelling in the Church, in which he himself says that none\r\ndwell save those who are of one heart and of one mind: unless,\r\nindeed, any one be so far removed from the truth as to say\r\nthat those were of one heart and of one mind who were\r\nenvious and malevolent, and contentious without charity; and\r\nyet they used to baptize: nor did the detestable waywardness\r\nwhich they displayed in any degree violate or diminish from the\r\nsacrament of Christ, which was handled and dispensed by them.</p>","headings":["WRITINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE DONATIST CONTROVERSY.","BOOK SEVENTH."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45843-paragraph-386"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"131af8c6f7ab65311968c267188b3bc9e077224720eeea1f3ef8e808ca375294","edition_title":"Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy","edition_translators":["John Richard King"],"edition_year":1872,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg45843-Footnote_613_613","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.
