But since\r\nyou think that in this sentence you have so strong a confirmation\r\nof your vain opinions, that you deemed it right to end\r\nyour epistle with these words, that they might remain as it\r\nwere the fresher in the minds of your readers, I think it well\r\nto make a short reply. We recognise in heretics that baptism,\r\nwhich belongs not to the heretics but to Christ, in such sort\r\nas in fornicators, in unclean persons or effeminate, in idolaters,\r\nin poisoners, in those who are fond of contention, in the envious,\r\nin drunkards, in revellers; and in men like these we hold valid\r\nthe baptism which is not theirs but Christ's. For of men like\r\nthese, and among them are included heretics also, none, as the\r\napostle says, shall inherit the kingdom of heaven.<a id=\"FNanchor_1023_1023\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1023_1023\">[1023]</a> Nor are\r\nthey to be considered as being in the body of Christ, which is\r\nthe Church, simply because they are materially partakers of\r\nthe sacraments. For the sacraments indeed are holy, even in\r\nsuch men as these, and shall be of force in them to greater\r\ncondemnation, because they handle and partake of them unworthily.\r\nBut the men themselves are not within the constitution\r\nof the Church, which grows in its members through\r\nconnection and contact with Christ, to the exaltation of God.\r\nFor that Church is founded on a rock, as the Lord says,\r\n\"Upon this rock I will build my Church.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_1024_1024\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1024_1024\">[1024]</a> But they build\r\non the sand, as the same Lord says, \"Every one that heareth\r\nthese sayings, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a\r\nfoolish man, which built his house upon the sand.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_1025_1025\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1025_1025\">[1025]</a> But that\r\nyou may not suppose that the Church which is upon a rock\r\nis in one part only of the earth, and does not extend even to\r\nits furthest boundaries, hear her voice groaning from the psalm,\r\namid the evils of her pilgrimage. For she says, \"From the\r\nend of the earth will I cry unto Thee, when my heart is overwhelmed:\r\nlead me to the Rock that is higher than I. For\r\nThou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the\r\nenemy.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_1026_1026\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1026_1026\">[1026]</a>\r\nSee how she cries from the end of the earth. She<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_404\">[Pg 404]</a></span>\r\nis not therefore in Africa alone, nor only among the Africans,\r\nwho send a bishop from Africa to Rome to a few Montenses,<a id=\"FNanchor_1027_1027\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1027_1027\">[1027]</a>\r\nand into Spain to the house of one lady.<a id=\"FNanchor_1028_1028\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1028_1028\">[1028]</a> See how she is\r\nexalted on a rock. All, therefore, are not to be deemed to be\r\nin her which build upon the sand, that is, which hear the\r\nwords of Christ and do them not, even though both among us\r\nand among you they have and transmit the sacrament of baptism.\r\nSee how her hope is in God the Father, the Son, and\r\nthe Holy Ghost,—not in Peter or in Paul, still less in Donatus\r\nor Petilianus. What we fear, therefore, to destroy, is not\r\nyours, but Christ's; and it is holy of itself, even in sacrilegious\r\nhands. For we cannot receive those who come from\r\nyou, unless we destroy in them whatsoever appertains to you.\r\nFor we destroy the treachery of the deserter, not the stamp\r\nof the sovereign. Accordingly, do you yourself consider and\r\nannul what you said: \"I,\" say you, \"baptize their polluted\r\nones; they, though may God never grant them such an opportunity,\r\nreceive those who are made mine by baptism.\" For\r\nyou do not baptize men who are infected, but you rebaptize\r\nthem, so as to infect them. But we do not receive men who\r\nare made yours by baptism; but we destroy that error of yours\r\nwhereby they are made yours, and we receive the baptism of\r\nChrist, by which they are baptized. Therefore it is not without\r\nsignificance that you introduce the words, \"Though may God\r\nnever grant them such an opportunity.\" For you said, \"They,\r\nthough may God never grant them such an opportunity, receive\r\nthose who are made mine by baptism.\" And in this, while you\r\nintend the meaning to be, \"May God never give them the opportunity\r\nof receiving such as are mine,\" I suppose that, without\r\nknowing what it meant, you said, \"May God never make\r\nthem mine that you should receive them.\" For we pray that\r\nthose may not be really yours who come over at the present\r\nmoment to the Catholic Church. Nor do they come over so as to\r\nbe ours by right of baptism, but by fellowship with us, and that\r\nwith us they may belong to Christ, in virtue of their baptism.</p>","headings":["WRITINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE DONATIST CONTROVERSY.","BOOK SECOND."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45843-paragraph-676"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"8b89109f799f4f02b0b842ca8ac7806f2405e85fff1e67f4e48a62fe249b9be3","edition_title":"Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy","edition_translators":["John Richard King"],"edition_year":1872,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"PSA","chapter":61,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Ps. lxi. 2","verse":2,"verse_end":2}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45843-Footnote_1026_1026","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.
