Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[2475] [Compare Cyprian, in all this, with his less reasonable “master” Tertullian.]
[2476] Apud inferos. See Ps. vi. 5.
[2477] Prov. xviii. 19 (old version).
[2483] [I bespeak admiration for this loving spirit of one often upbraided for his strong expressions and firm convictions.]
[2484] These words are variously read, “to be purged divinely,” or “to be purged for a long while,” scil. “purgari divine,” or “purgari diutine.” [Candid Romish writers concede that this does not refer to their purgatory; but, the idea once accepted, we can read it into this place as into 1 Cor. iii. 13. See Oxford trans., p. 128.]
[2485] [The unity of the Catholic Church, in his view, consists in this unity of co-bishops in one episcopate, with which every Christian should be in communion through his own bishop.]
[2486] [The independence of bishops, and their intercommunion as one episcopate, is his theory of the undivided sacrament of Catholicity.]
[2488] Tob. iv. 10.
[2491] Wisd. i. 13.
