Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[2290] Oxford ed.: Ep. xxxi. [This epistle shows that Cyprian’s gentle reproof of their former implied regret at his retreat (see p. 280, supra) had been effective.]
[2291] [Note this testimony to the universality of the persecution. Vol. iv. p. 125, this series.]
[2292] Supplicia sua post fidem amare cœpisse.
[2298] [Note the power of Holy Scripture in creating and supporting the martyr-spirit.]
[2299] [See valuable note, Oxford translation, p. 71.]
[2300] Lit. “of our postponement.”
[2301] [I have amended the translation here from the Oxford trans.]
[2302] [An important testimony to Cyprian’s judicious retirement, in the spirit of St. Paul, Phil. i. 24.]
[2303] “Sanctum.” [Note what follows: a rule for our times.]
[2304] [An important testimony to the Cyprianic theory from members of the Roman presbytery.]
[2305] [The extent of the lapses which Cyprian strove to check by due austerity must be noted.]
[2306] [The casting of a grain of incense upon the coals before an image, to escape death.]
[2307] [Meats offered to idols.]
[2308] [Note the profound convictions in these very lapsers of the truth of the Gospel and of the value of full communion with Christ.]
Epistle XXVI. Cyprian to the Lapsed.
[2309] Oxford ed.: Ep. xxxiii. a.d. 250.
[2310] [This is the Cyprianic idea. The idea that this was peculiar to any one bishop had never entered his mind. See vol. iv. p. 99.]
