For the portion of this epistle which he wrote to his\r\nadherents—from the beginning down to the passage in which\r\nhe says, \"This is the commandment of the Lord to us, 'When\r\nthey persecute you in this city, flee ye into another;'<a id=\"FNanchor_1137_1137\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1137_1137\">[1137]</a> and if\r\nthey persecute you in that also, flee ye to a third\"—came\r\nfirst into my hands, and to it I made a reply; and when this<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_464\">[Pg 464]</a></span>\r\nreply of ours had fallen, in turn, into his hands, he wrote in\r\nanswer to it this which I am now refuting, showing that he has\r\nmade no reply to mine. In that first portion, therefore, of his\r\nwritings to which I first replied, these are the passages of\r\nScripture which he conceives to be opposed to us: \"Every\r\ngood tree bringeth forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree bringeth\r\nforth evil fruit. Do men gather grapes of thorns?\"<a id=\"FNanchor_1138_1138\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1138_1138\">[1138]</a> And\r\nagain: \"A good man, out of the good treasure of his heart,\r\nbringeth forth good things; and an evil man, out of the evil\r\ntreasure, bringeth forth evil things.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_1139_1139\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1139_1139\">[1139]</a> And again: \"When a\r\nman is baptized by one that is dead, his washing profiteth\r\nhim nothing.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_1140_1140\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1140_1140\">[1140]</a> From these passages he is anxious to show\r\nthat the man who is baptized is made to partake of the character\r\nof him by whom he is baptized; I, on the other hand,\r\nhave shown in what sense these passages should be received,\r\nand that they could in no wise aid his view. But as for the\r\nother expressions which he has used against evil and accursed\r\nmen, I have sufficiently shown that they are applicable to the\r\nLord's wheat, dispersed, as was foretold and promised, throughout\r\nthe world, and that they might rather be used by us against\r\nyou. Examine them again, and you will find it so.</p>","headings":["WRITINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE DONATIST CONTROVERSY.","BOOK THIRD."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45843-paragraph-740"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"d3d02e2b584760d146c74d58340ec28672e7e42d49539818fdc55759d027532c","edition_title":"Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy","edition_translators":["John Richard King"],"edition_year":1872,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"MAT","chapter":10,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Matt. x. 23","verse":23,"verse_end":23}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45843-Footnote_1137_1137","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.
