Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[2981] Ps. lxviii. 6. [Vulgate and Anglican Psalter.]
[2982] [See p. 362, supra, and Augus., tom. v. p. 1246, ed. Migne.]
[2983] [This hinges unity for the individual, according to Cyprian; the individual must be in communion with his lawful bishop, and the bishop with the universal episcopate. It never enters his head that any one See is the test of unity. Vol. i. 415 and 460.]
[2987] [What would Cyprian have said to Boniface III., a.d. 607, and to Nicholas, a.d. 858? The former attempted to set up a universal throne: the latter founded the papacy on the forged Decretals.]
[2990] “Within the very barriers of the Church;” v. l.
[2992] [Here comes into view the question of clinic baptism and of the exceptional mode of sprinkling or affusion. On which let the extreme modesty of our author be a check to me. Elucidation XX.]
[2994] Num. xix. 8, 12, 13.
[2997] The Oxford translator has given this name as “Socrates” here, but, as it appears, by an oversight only; for the original text has “Soranus,” who is described as “of Ephesus, under Trajan and Adrian, a well-instructed author in methodical medicine,” just as the translator describes Socrates. [Elucidation XX.]
[2998] The exact meaning of this sentence is very doubtful.
[2999] [We may think this fanciful in argument: but this absorption of all Scripture, by primitive believers, into the analogy of faith, is not to be despised. See St. Paul’s example, Gal. iv. 21.]
[3001] [Acts xvi. 16 and xix. 15. We must not overlook such Scriptures in judging the exorcisms of the primitive Church.]
