Then who is there that could fail to perceive\r\nfrom what a vein of conceit it proceeds, that in explaining\r\nas it were the declaration of the apostle, he says, \"He\r\nwho said, 'I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase,'\r\nsurely meant nothing else than this, that 'I made a\r\nman a catechumen in Christ, Apollo baptized him; God con<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_470\">[Pg 470]</a></span>firmed\r\nwhat we had done?'\" Why then did not Petilianus\r\nadd what the apostle added, and I especially took pains to\r\nquote, \"So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither\r\nhe that watereth; but God that giveth the increase?\"<a id=\"FNanchor_1154_1154\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1154_1154\">[1154]</a> And\r\nif he be willing to interpret this on the same principle as\r\nwhat he has set down above, it follows beyond all doubt, that\r\nneither is he that baptizeth anything, but God that giveth the\r\nincrease. For what matter does it make in reference to the\r\nquestion now before us, in what sense it has been said, \"I\r\nplanted, Apollos watered,\"—whether it is really to be taken\r\nas equivalent to his saying, \"I made a catechumen, Apollos\r\nbaptized him;\" or whether there be any other more apposite\r\ninterpretation?—for in the mean time, according to his own\r\ninterpretation of the words, neither is he that makes the catechumen\r\nanything, neither he that baptizes, but God that gives\r\nthe increase. But there is a great difference between confirming\r\nwhat another does, and doing anything oneself. For He\r\nwho gives the increase does not confirm a tree or a vine, but\r\ncreates it. For by that increase it comes to pass that even a\r\npiece of wood planted in the ground produces and establishes\r\na root; by that increase it comes to pass that a seed cast into\r\nthe earth puts forth a shoot. But why should we make a\r\nlonger dissertation on this point? It is enough that, according\r\nto Petilianus himself, neither he that makes a catechumen,\r\nnor he that baptizes, is anything, but God that gives the increase.\r\nBut when would Petilianus say this, so that we\r\nshould understand that he meant, Neither is Donatus of Carthage\r\nanything, neither Januarius, neither Petilianus? When\r\nwould the swelling of his pride permit him to say this, which\r\nnow causes the man to think himself to be something, when\r\nhe is nothing, deceiving himself?<a id=\"FNanchor_1155_1155\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1155_1155\">[1155]</a></p>","headings":["WRITINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE DONATIST CONTROVERSY.","BOOK THIRD."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45843-paragraph-744"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"dd1f1d5021a84d7be81a4c7a81f6ec970c14171451457f523f94844102d46ada","edition_title":"Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy","edition_translators":["John Richard King"],"edition_year":1872,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"GAL","chapter":6,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Gal. vi. 3","verse":3,"verse_end":3}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45843-Footnote_1155_1155","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.
