{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p>239. <span class=\"smcap\">Augustine</span> answered: What you say is true. For\r\nthat priesthood in the body of Christ had an anointing, and\r\nits salvation is secured by the bond of unity. For indeed\r\nChrist Himself derives His name from chrism, that is, from\r\nanointing. Him the Hebrews call the Messiah, which word\r\nis closely akin to the Phœnician language, as is the case with\r\nvery many other Hebrew words, if not with almost all.<a id=\"FNanchor_1005_1005\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1005_1005\">[1005]</a>\r\nWhat then is meant by the head in that priesthood, what\r\nby the beard, what by the skirts of the garments? So far\r\nas the Lord enables me to understand, the head is none other\r\nthan the Saviour of the body, of whom the apostle says,\r\n\"And He is the head of the body, the Church.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_1006_1006\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1006_1006\">[1006]</a> By the\r\nbeard is not unsuitably understood fortitude. Therefore, on\r\nthose who show themselves to be brave in His Church, and\r\ncling to the light of His countenance, to preach the truth\r\nwithout fear, there descends from Christ Himself, as from the\r\nhead, a sacred ointment, that is to say, the sanctification of\r\nthe Spirit. By the skirts of the garments we are here given\r\nto understand that which is at the top of the garments,\r\nwhereby the head of Him who gives the clothing passes on\r\nits way. By this are signified those who are perfected in\r\nfaith within the Church. For in the skirts is perfection.\r\nAnd I presume you must remember what was said to a certain\r\nrich man: \"If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast,<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_397\">[Pg 397]</a></span>\r\nand give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven;\r\nand come and follow me.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_1007_1007\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1007_1007\">[1007]</a> He indeed went away sorrowful,\r\nslighting what was perfect, choosing what was imperfect. But\r\ndoes it follow that there were wanting those who were so\r\nmade perfect by such a surrender of earthly things, that the\r\nointment of unity descended upon them, as from the head\r\nupon the skirts of the garments? For, putting aside the\r\napostles, and those who were immediately associated with\r\nthose leaders and teachers of the Church, whom we understand\r\nto be represented with greater dignity and more conspicuous\r\nfortitude in the beard, read in the Acts of the\r\nApostles, and see those who \"brought the prices of the things\r\nthat were sold, and laid them at the apostles' feet. Neither\r\nsaid any of them that ought of the things which he possessed\r\nwas his own; but they had all things common: and distribution\r\nwas made unto every man according as he had need.\r\nAnd the multitude of them that believed were of one heart\r\nand of one soul.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_1008_1008\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1008_1008\">[1008]</a> I doubt not that you are aware that it\r\nis so written. Recognise, therefore, how good and how pleasant\r\nit is for brethren to dwell together in unity. Recognise\r\nthe beard of Aaron; recognise the skirts of the spiritual garments.\r\nSearch the Scriptures themselves, and see where those\r\nthings began to be done; you will find that it was in Jerusalem.\r\nFrom this skirt of the garment is woven together the\r\nwhole fabric of unity throughout all nations. By this the\r\nHead entered into the garment, that Christ should be clothed\r\nwith all the variety of the several nations of the earth, because\r\nin this skirt of the garment appeared the actual variety\r\nof tongues. Why, therefore, is the Head itself, whence that\r\nointment of unity descended, that is, the spiritual fragrance\r\nof brotherly love,—why, I say, is the Head itself exposed\r\nto your resistance, while it testifies and declares that \"repentance\r\nand remission of sins should be preached in His\r\nname among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem?\"<a id=\"FNanchor_1009_1009\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1009_1009\">[1009]</a> And by\r\nthis ointment you wish the sacrament of chrism to be understood,\r\nwhich is indeed holy as among the class of visible\r\nsigns, like baptism itself, but yet can exist even among the\r\nworst of men, wasting their life in the works of the flesh, and<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_398\">[Pg 398]</a></span>\r\nnever destined to possess the kingdom of heaven, and having\r\ntherefore nothing to do either with the beard of Aaron, or\r\nwith the skirts of his garments, or with any fabric of priestly\r\nclothing. For where do you intend to place what the apostle\r\nenumerates as \"the manifest works of the flesh, which,\" he\r\nsays, \"are these; fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry,\r\npoisonings, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife,\r\nseditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings,\r\nand such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also\r\ntold you in time past, that they which do such things shall\r\nnot inherit the kingdom of God?\"<a id=\"FNanchor_1010_1010\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1010_1010\">[1010]</a> I put aside fornications,\r\nwhich are committed in secret; interpret uncleanness\r\nas you please, I am willing to put it aside as well. Let us\r\nput on one side also poisons, since no one is openly a compounder\r\nor giver of poisons. I put aside also heresies, since\r\nyou will have it so. I am in doubt whether I ought to put\r\naside idolatry, since the apostle classes with it covetousness,\r\nwhich is openly rife among you. However, setting aside all\r\nthese, are there none among you lascivious, none covetous,\r\nnone open in their indulgence of enmities, none fond of strife,\r\nor fond of emulation, wrathful, given to seditions, envious,\r\ndrunken, wasting their time in revellings? Are none of such\r\na character anointed among you? Do none die well known\r\namong you to be given to such things, or openly indulging\r\nin them? If you say there are none, I would have you consider\r\nwhether you do not come under the description yourself,\r\nsince you are manifestly telling lies in the desire for strife.\r\nBut if you are yourself severed from men of this sort, not by\r\nbodily separation, but by dissimilarity of life, and if you behold\r\nwith lamentation crowds like these around your altars,\r\nwhat shall we say, since they are anointed with holy oil, and\r\nyet, as the apostle assures us with the clearness of truth, shall\r\nnot inherit the kingdom of God? Must we do such impious\r\ndespite to the beard of Aaron and to the skirts of his garments,\r\nas to suppose that they are to be placed there? Far\r\nbe that from us. Separate therefore the visible holy sacrament,\r\nwhich can exist both in the good and in the bad,—in\r\nthe former for their reward, in the latter for judgment; sepa<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_399\">[Pg 399]</a></span>rate\r\nit from the invisible unction of charity, which is the\r\npeculiar property of the good. Separate them, separate them,\r\nay, and may God separate you from the party of Donatus,\r\nand call you back again into the Catholic Church, whence you\r\nwere torn by them while yet a catechumen, to be bound by\r\nthem in the bond of a deadly distinction. Now are ye not\r\nin the mountains of Zion, the dew of Hermon on the mountains\r\nof Zion, in whatever sense that be received by you; for\r\nyou are not in the city upon a hill, which has this as its sure\r\nsign, that it cannot be hid. It is known therefore unto all\r\nnations. But the party of Donatus is unknown to the majority\r\nof nations, therefore is it not the true city.</p>","headings":["WRITINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE DONATIST CONTROVERSY.","BOOK SECOND."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45843-paragraph-668"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"d138f33b05697fd38c5b8432c4984aa1d1fd3d03d83c28c3d9476c279b0a740c","edition_title":"Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy","edition_translators":["John Richard King"],"edition_year":1872,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"MAT","chapter":19,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Matt. xix. 21","verse":21,"verse_end":21}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45843-Footnote_1007_1007","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.
