Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[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.]
[2958] [This, by the structure of the argument, is supposed to be said to Stephen.]
[2960] [By Canon XIX. of Nicæa the Paulianists were compelled to observe the Carthaginian discipline, which was a Catholic decision, so far, in Cyprian’s favour. His position was not condemned.]
[2961] [These passages are noted here, because they all must be borne in mind when we come to the Treatise on Unity.]
[2962] [These passages are noted here, because they all must be borne in mind when we come to the Treatise on Unity.]
[2964] Otherwise “unity.” Some commentators omit this clause.
[2965] [“Pseudo-Christum, pseudo-apostolum, et dolosum operarium.” Compare Cyprian’s meekness (p. 386) with this.]
