CONCERNING THE BAPTISM OF HERETICS. 215 the church,when they are convertedto the church,must be baptized. Verulus 1 of Rusiccada2 said: A man who isa hereticcan not givewhat he has not; much more a schismatic,who has lostwhat he once had. Pudentianus of Cuiculis3 said: The noveltyof my epis copal office,beloved brethren,has caused me to awaitwhat my eldersshould judge. For it is manifest that heresies have nothing,nor can have anything. And thus,if any one comes from them, it is most justlydecreed that they must be baptized. Peter of Hippo Diarrhytus4 said: Since thereisone bap tism in the CatholicChurch, itismanifestthatone cannot be baptizedoutsidethe church. And thereforeI judge that those who have been dipped in heresy or in schism,when they come to the church,shouldbe baptized. Also another Lucius of Ausafa* said: According to the directionof my mind, and of the Holy Spirit,as thereisone God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,and one Christ, and one hope,and one Spirit,and one church,there ought alsoto be one baptism. And thereforeI say,thatifanything have been set on footor accomplishedby heretics,it ought to be rescinded,and that those who come thence must be baptizedin the church.Also anotherFelixof Gurgitese said:I judge that,accord ing to the preceptsof the holy Scriptures,he who isunlaw fullybaptizedby hereticsoutsidethe church,when he wishes to take refuge in the church, should obtain the grace of baptism where itislawfullygiven. Pusillusof Lamasba7 said: I believethat there is no saving baptism exceptin the CatholicChurch. Whatsoever is apartfrom the CatholicChurch isa pretence. 1 Calledinsomeeditions" a martyrfromtheschismatics." 3 A cityofNumidia. *A cityofNumidia. 4 A cityofZeugitana,calledDiarrhytusbecauseofthenumberofthe streamsthatwaterit.The name isotherwiseread" HippoDiarrhy- torum."s A cityofZeugitana,sometimeswritten" Assapha." • A cityofBysacena. 1 " Lambesa,"a cityofNumidia.
