Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[2173] Gal. v. 15. [See note 9, infra.]
[2174] The following is found only in one ms. Its genuineness is therefore doubted by some: “And although I have most fully written to our clergy, both lately when you were still kept in prison, and now also again, to supply whatever was needful, either for your clothing or for your food, yet I myself have also sent you from the small means of my own which I had with me, 250 pieces; and another 250 I had also sent before. Victor also, who from a reader has become a deacon, and is with me, sent you 175. But I rejoice when I know that very many of our brethren of their love are striving with each other, and are aiding your necessities with their contributions.”
Epistle VII. To the Clergy, Concerning Prayer to God.
[2175] Oxford ed.; Ep. xi. a.d. 250.
[2176] [Compare, in former letters, similar complaints, to which brief notes are subjoined. And mark the honest simplicity of these confessions. 2 Peter ii. 13, 14, 15.]
[2179] Satisfacimus.
[2182] [A comment on Luke 18.3; Matt. 18.19. Importunity necessary, even in the latter case.]
[2183] Ps. lxviii. 6. [Vulgate and Anglican Psalter version.]
[2187] [After the manner of Hermas. Vol. ii. p. 24, note 2.]
[2193] [A vision granted to the pastor in behalf of his flock. See Vulgate version of Ps. lxxxix. 19, which Cyprian’s, doubtless, anticipated.] This prediction of settled times was published in unsettled ones; and it was fulfilled by the sudden and unexpected death of Decius, in his expedition against the Goths.
