Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[2878] [One of the Catholic maxims which has been terribly misunderstood and cruelly abused. See below, p. 385, notes 2 and 3.]
[2879] John iii. 5. [His exposition of this passage explains his hyperbole, nulla salus extra ecclesiam. Of which sec. 23, infra.]
[2880] Luke xii. 50. [See p. 386, first line.]
[2881] [Here is the qualifying maxim to that other dictum. Potens est Dominus misericordia sua, indulgentiam dare. Matt. ix. 13; xii. 7. How emphatic this repeated maxim of Christ! And see Jas. ii. 13.]
[2882] [John’s baptism was under the Law, and was distinguished from Christ’s baptism; which accounts for the plural in Heb. vi. 2.]
[2883] [See Ep. lxxi, sec. 3, p. 379, supra. Here is the spirit, not of Tertullian, but of Irenæus (vol. i. p. 310), which seems to have prevailed in the practical settlement, between East and West, of one vexed question. As a question of canonical consent and of irresistible logic, assuming the premiss, Cyprian appears to me justified.]
[2884] [See Ep. lxxi, sec. 3, p. 379, supra. Here is the spirit, not of Tertullian, but of Irenæus (vol. i. p. 310), which seems to have prevailed in the practical settlement, between East and West, of one vexed question.

[2886] [See this volume, infra.] a.d. 256.
Epistle LXXIII. To Pompey, Against the Epistle of Stephen About the Baptism of Heretics.
[2887] Oxford ed.: Ep. lxxiv.
