Since, therefore, there be dead men within\r\nthe Church, who either do not belong at all to that living dove,\r\nor at least do not as yet belong to her; and since there be\r\ndead men without, who yet more clearly do not belong to her\r\nat all, or not as yet; and since it is true that \"another man\r\ncannot be quickened by one who himself liveth not,\"—it is\r\ntherefore clear that those who within are baptized by such\r\npersons, if they approach the sacrament with true conversion\r\nof heart, are quickened by Him whose baptism it is. But\r\nif they renounce the world in word and not in deed, as\r\nCyprian declares to be the case with some who are within, it\r\nis then manifest that they are not themselves quickened unless\r\nthey be converted, and yet that they have true baptism even\r\nthough they be not converted. Whence also it is likewise\r\nclear that those who are dead without, although they neither\r\n\"live themselves, nor quicken others,\" yet have the living\r\nbaptism, which would profit them unto life so soon as they\r\nshould be converted unto peace.</p>","headings":["WRITINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE DONATIST CONTROVERSY.","BOOK FIFTH."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45843-paragraph-184"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"74220dff7b149b92badb63598a40b45635277890e9581e308c51203287084baa","edition_title":"Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy","edition_translators":["John Richard King"],"edition_year":1872,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg45843-Footnote_348_348","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.
