Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[2491] Wisd. i. 13.
[2495] [Matt. v. 4. A striking exposition. “The quality of mercy is not strained,” etc.]
[2496] [The primitive canons require the consent of a majority of comprovincials, and three at least to ordain.]
[2497] [One of the many aphoristic condensations of the Cyprianic theory. Elucidation X.]
[2499] [“The body of his fellow-bishops,” as above.]
[2508] [“Fools make a mock at sin.” But what serious reflections are inspired by the solemn discipline of primitive Christianity! Mercy is magnified, indeed, but pardon and peace are made worth striving after. Repentance is made a reality, and we hear nothing of mechanical penances and absolutions.]
[2509] [He has never heard of indulgences and masses for the dead, nor of purgatorial remission. See p. 332, note 7.]
[2510] [To the unity of our common episcopate. Note this; for, if he had imagined Cornelius to have been a “Pope,” he must have said, “to unity with the true pontiff, against whom Novatian has rebelled, and made himself an anti-pope.”]
