First, then, let us record for further consideration\r\nthe case proposed for decision by Cyprian himself,\r\nwith which he initiates the proceedings of the Council, and by\r\nwhich he shows a peaceful spirit, abounding in the fruitfulness\r\nof Christian charity. \"Ye have heard,\" he says, \"most\r\nbeloved colleagues, what Jubaianus, our fellow-bishop, has\r\nwritten to me, consulting my poor ability about the unlawful\r\nand profane baptism of heretics, and what I have written\r\nback to him, expressing to him the same opinion that I have\r\nexpressed once and again and often, that heretics coming to\r\nthe Church ought to be baptized, and sanctified with the\r\nbaptism of the Church. Another letter also of Jubaianus has\r\nbeen read to you, in which, agreeably to his sincere and religious\r\ndevotion, in answer to our epistle, he not only expressed\r\nhis assent to it, but also gratefully acknowledged that he had\r\nreceived instruction. It remains that we should individually\r\nexpress our opinions on this same subject, judging no one,\r\nand removing no one from the right of communion if he\r\nshould entertain a different opinion. For neither does any\r\none of us set himself up as a bishop of bishops, or by tyrannical\r\nterror force his colleagues to the necessity of obeying,\r\nsince every bishop, in the free use of his liberty and power,\r\nhas the right of free judgment, and can no more be judged by\r\nanother than he can himself judge another. But we are all\r\nawaiting the judgment of our Lord Jesus Christ, who alone<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_157\">[Pg 157]</a></span>\r\nhas the power both of preferring us in the government of His\r\nChurch, and of judging of our actions.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_401_401\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_401_401\">[401]</a></p>","headings":["WRITINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE DONATIST CONTROVERSY.","BOOK SIXTH."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45843-paragraph-210"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"00d9b081811b82843727dc0e80814b08f3868b184e6184e5de8c5e0c1e8fbb37","edition_title":"Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy","edition_translators":["John Richard King"],"edition_year":1872,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg45843-Footnote_401_401","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.
