For if you wish\r\nto bring forth proofs from holy Scripture, will you bring forth\r\neven those which you cannot find therein? But it is in your\r\nown power to multiply your lies according to your will. For\r\nwhere is what you quoted written? or when was that either\r\nsuggested to our Lord, or answered by our Lord? \"Many<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_349\">[Pg 349]</a></span>\r\nlay on hands in Thy name, and are not with us,\" are words\r\nthat no one of the disciples ever uttered to the Son of God;\r\nand therefore neither could the answer have been made by\r\nHim, \"Let them alone: if they are not against you, they are\r\non your side.\" But there is something somewhat like it\r\nwhich we really do read in the gospel,—that a suggestion was\r\nmade to the Lord about a certain man who was casting out\r\ndevils in His name, but did not follow Him with His disciples;\r\nand in that case the Lord does say, \"Forbid him not: for he\r\nthat is not against us is for us.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_902_902\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_902_902\">[902]</a> But this has nothing to do\r\nwith pointing out parties whom the Lord is supposed to have\r\nspared. And if you have been deceived by an apparent resemblance\r\nof sentiment, this is not a lie, but merely human\r\ninfirmity. But if you wished to cast a mist of falsehood over\r\nthose who are unskilled in holy Scripture, then may you be\r\npricked to the heart, and covered with confusion and corrected.\r\nYet there is a point which we would urge in respect of this\r\nvery man of whom the suggestion was made to our Lord.\r\nFor even as at that time, beyond the communion of the disciples,\r\nthe holiness of Christ was yet of the greatest efficacy, even\r\nso now, beyond the communion of the Church, the holiness of\r\nthe sacraments is of avail. For neither is baptism consecrated\r\nsave in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the\r\nHoly Ghost. But who will be so utterly insane as to declare\r\nthat the name of the Son may be of avail even beyond the\r\ncommunion of the Church, but that this is not possible with\r\nthe names of the Father and of the Holy Ghost? or that it\r\nmay be of avail in healing a man, but not in consecrating\r\nbaptism? But it is manifest that outside the communion of\r\nthe Church, and the most holy bond of unity, and the most excellent\r\ngift of charity, neither he by whom the devil is cast\r\nout nor he who is baptized obtains eternal life; just as those\r\ndo not obtain it, who through communion in the sacraments\r\nseem indeed to be within, and through the depravity of their\r\ncharacter are understood to be without. But that Christ\r\npersecuted even with bodily chastisement those whom He\r\ndrove with scourges from the temple, we have already said\r\nabove.</p>","headings":["WRITINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE DONATIST CONTROVERSY.","BOOK SECOND."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45843-paragraph-607"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"597ece284495b52c1bbfca7b65e411a90789a0771b70ab1de47d627e24e1638a","edition_title":"Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy","edition_translators":["John Richard King"],"edition_year":1872,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"LUK","chapter":9,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Luke ix. 49","verse":49,"verse_end":49}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45843-Footnote_902_902","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.
