Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[2896] [This “unity” consisted not at all in agreeing with Stephen, according to our author. See good note (l) Oxford edition, p. 260.]
[2898] [Cyprian does not believe in the mere opus operatum of the water. And one fears that Stephen’s position in this matter bore its fruit long after in that pernicious dogma of the schoolmen.]
[2901] [Allowing the premisses admitted alike by Stephen and Cyprian (of which it is not my place to speak), the logic of our author appears to me irresistible. Practically, how wise the inspired maxim, Rom. xiv. 1.]
[2902] Mal. ii. 1, 2. [Compare Tertullian, vol. iv. p. 122.]
[2903] [A terrible indictment, indeed, of his brother Stephen; provoked, however, by conduct less warranted. See Ep. lxxiv. infra.]
[2904] [Stephen’s presumption in this step is the dark spot in his record. It was a brutum fulmen, however, even in his own province. See Augustine’s testimony, Oxf. ed. (note l) p. 258.]
[2906] [Another of Cyprian’s striking aphorisms: “Consuetudo sine veritate vetustas erroris est.”]
[2907] Esdras iv. 38–40.
[2909] Original, “docibilis.” 2 Tim. ii. 24.
[2911] [Elucidation XVIII. See pp. 380 (note 1) and 322 (note 2).]
[2914] [It is obvious that the Cyprianic theory of unity has not the least connection with a theory depending on communion with a particular See. But this calculates the maxim, p. 384, note 7.]
[2915] [See letter lxxi. p. 378, supra.]
