Introductory Notice to Cyprian.

[2784] It is suggested with some probability, that this form of superscription was intended to rebuke the rudeness of Florentius, who, in addressing Cyprian, had used his heathen name of Thascius instead of his baptismal name of Cæcilius, which he had adopted from the presbyter who had been the means of his conversion.

[2785] Matt. x. 29.

[2786] John v. 31, 32.

[2795] [Præpositum is the word thus translated.]

[2796] Antistitem. [This word occurs in Tertullian, De Fuga.]

[2803] [Not any of his successors, but Peter personally, is thus honoured on the strength of Eph. ii. 20. All the apostles were in this foundation also, Rev. xxi. 14; but the figure excludes successors, who are of the superstructure, necessarily.]
