But who can fail to understand what they\r\nmay be saying in their hearts? \"What then are we to do,\"\r\nsay they, \"with those whom we have already rebaptized?\"\r\nReturn with them to the Church. Bring those whom you have\r\nwounded to be healed by the medicine of peace; bring those\r\nwhom you have slain to be brought to life again by the life\r\nof charity. Brotherly union has great power in propitiating\r\nGod. \"If two of you,\" says our Lord, \"shall agree on earth<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_51\">[Pg 51]</a></span>\r\nas touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for\r\nthem.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_108_108\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_108_108\">[108]</a> If for two men who agree, how much more for two\r\ncommunities? Let us throw ourselves together on our knees\r\nbefore the Lord.

See\r\nhow much he considered to depend upon the blessing of unity,\r\nfrom which he did not sever himself to avoid the communion\r\nof those who disagreed with him; how, though he considered\r\nthat those who were baptized outside the communion of the\r\nChurch had no true baptism, he was yet willing to believe\r\nthat, by simple admission into the Church, they might, merely\r\nin virtue of the bond of unity, be admitted to a share in pardon.\r\nFor thus he solved the question which he proposed to himself\r\nin writing as follows to Jubaianus: \"But some will say, 'What\r\nthen will become of those who, in times past, coming to the\r\nChurch from heresy, were admitted without baptism?' The\r\nLord is able of His mercy to grant pardon, and not to sever\r\nfrom the gifts of His Church those who, being out of simplicity\r\nadmitted to the Church, have in the Church fallen asleep.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_110_110\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_110_110\">[110]</a></p>","headings":["WRITINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE DONATIST CONTROVERSY.","BOOK SECOND."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45843-paragraph-92"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"b6bd32d349c02fa1b36d7061e5df0ad2af754e5e72717464221d016c1f06d5df","edition_title":"Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy","edition_translators":["John Richard King"],"edition_year":1872,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg45843-Footnote_110_110","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.
