26. Return, then, to the Church, those of
you who have wickedly separated yourselves. For He promises
forgiveness to all who are converted, since it is written:
“Whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be
saved.” Joel ii. 32. And
lastly, the Jewish people who said of the Lord Jesus, “He hath a
devil,” S. John viii. 43. and “He
casteth out devils through Beelzebub,” and who crucified the Lord
Jesus, are, by the preaching of Peter, called to baptism, that they may
put away the guilt of so great a wickedness.
