Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[2944] John xx. 22, 23. [The two texts here quoted lie at the base of Cyprian’s own theory; (1) to Peter alone this gift to signify its singleness, (2) then the same to all the apostles alone to signify their common and undivided partnership in the use of this gift. Note the two alones and one therefore. And see Treatise I. infra.]
[2945] [Cyprian’s theory is thus professed by the Orient.]
[2946] [This place and succession are conceded in the argument; but Stephen himself does not appear to have claimed to be the Rock or to exercise the authority of Peter. Vol. iii. p. 266.]
[2947] [Stephen abolishes the Rock, and “deserts unity;” here, then, is evidence that he was not the one, nor the criterion of the other.]
[2948] [The Roman custom seems to have been a local tradition, to which more general custom is opposed. See p. 375, supra.]
[2949] [i.e., Montanists.] Or, “as we do the prophets.”
[2950] [See sec. 7, supra.]
[2952] Or, “they not only speak of, (but have),” is a proposed reading of this obscure passage, “non modo dicunt.”
[2953] [These, as the schoolmen teach, do virtually receive the sacrament, though in voto tantum.]
[2955] Prov. ix. 19 (LXX.).
[2956] Prov. xix. 5. [Note the charge of schism that follows.]
