Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[2608] Bel and the Dragon 5.
[2609] [Referred to by St. Paul, Heb. xi. 35. I say St. Paul advisedly. See, to the contrary, Farrar, St. Paul, p. 6.]
[2611] [Valuable note, Oxford trans., Ep. lviii. p. 142, note k.]
[2616] Scil.: the sign of the cross in baptism.
[2617] It is observed here that the Eucharist was at this time received by the hand of the communicant, and not placed in his mouth by the minister, as some have pretended was the original mode of administration. [See Cyril of Jerusalem, Mystagog., v. p. 1126, Migne.]
Epistle LVI. To Cornelius in Exile, Concerning His Confession.
[2619] Oxford ed.: Ep. lx. a.d. 252.
[2620] Damasus mentions this epistle in the life of Cornelius, as being that on account of which a calumny arose, whence the tyrant took an excuse for his death.
[2621] [Note the entire equality of these bishops. Carthage and Rome are of equal sacerdocy.]
[2622] [Cornelius the voice of his diocese only because they concur with him. Compare Leto, Vat. Council, p. 223 and passim.]
Epistle LVII. To Lucius The Bishop of Rome, Returned from Banishment.
[2623] Oxford ed.: Ep. lxi. a.d. 252.
[2624] [Hi episcopate lasted not six months. See Eusebius, H. E., vii. 2. He seems to have suffered martyrdom by the sword.]
[2625] [Not Novatian. The organization at Rome is here glanced at, as answering to the Cyprianic theory in all respects.]
Epistle LVIII. To Fidus, on the Baptism of Infants.
[2626] Oxford ed.: Ep. lxiv. [It would be unbecoming in me to add comments of my own on this letter. Such are the views of Cyprian; and one may see the opposite views, set forth with extreme candor, by Jeremy Taylor in his Liberty of Prophesying.]
