For what\r\nthey had not received from the friend of the Bridegroom, this\r\nit was right that they should receive from the Bridegroom\r\nHimself, of whom that friend had said, \"The same is He\r\nwhich baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.\"</p>","headings":["WRITINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE DONATIST CONTROVERSY.","BOOK FIFTH."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45843-paragraph-173"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"fe63fb763138e5e09ab3b1ba4829d0f2e07949d7a250514fcb90d945a2e34257","edition_title":"Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy","edition_translators":["John Richard King"],"edition_year":1872,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg45843-Footnote_328_328","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.
