Introductory Notice to Cyprian.

[2786] John v. 31, 32.

[2787] [A mild remonstrance against the officious conduct of Stephen, also.]

[2788] Deut. xvii. 12, 13.

[2789] 1 Sam. viii. 7.

[2790] John xviii. 23.

[2791] Acts xxiii. 4, 5.

[2792] [A mild remonstrance against the officious conduct of Stephen, also.]

[2793] Luke x. 16.

[2794] [His aphorism, Ecclesia in Episcopo, is here used in another form. “The bishop” here = the episcopate.]

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

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

[2797] [In all this his theory comes out; viz., that unity is maintained by communion with one’s lawful bishop, not with any foreign See.]

[2798] Ecclesiasticus 28.24 (Vulg. 28).

[2799] Prov. xvii. 4, LXX.

[2800] [See sec. 6, note 3, supra.]

[2802] John vi. 67-69.

[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.]

[2804] [In all this his theory comes out; viz., that unity is maintained by communion with one’s lawful bishop, not with any foreign See.]

[2805] [See sec. 5, supra. This is the famous formula of Cyprian’s theory. The whole theory is condensed in what follows.]

[2806] Gen. xxxvii. 19, 20. [It seems a beautiful coincidence that another Joseph was a “dreamer” (Matt. ii. 20, 23); and in those days, when prophets and prophesyings were hardly yet extinct, we must not too readily call this credulity. Ps. lxxxix. 19, Vulgate.]

Epistle LXIX. To Januarius and Other Numidian Bishops, on Baptizing Heretics.
