Introductory Notice to Cyprian.

[3191] John vi. 38.

[3192] 1 John ii. 6.

[3193] 1 Tim. ii. 9, 10.

[3194] 1 Pet. iii. 3, 4.

[3195] 1 Cor. x. 23.

[3196] Wisd. v. 8.

[3197] 1 Cor. vii. 30, 31.

[3198] The meaning is,—gifts to the poor will induce them to pray for the virgin, and in answer to their prayers, God will grant her the glory of virginity. [Luke xvi. 9.]

[3199] Perhaps this sentence would be more literally translated, “and the dress of no women is, generally speaking, more expensive than the dress of those whose modesty is cheap;” i.e., who have no modesty at all, or very little.

[3200] Rev. 17.1.

[3201] Isa. iii. 16.

[3202] Gen. i. 26.

[3203] 1 Cor. v. 7.

[3204] Matt. v. 36.

[3205] Rev. 1.14.

[3206] [The utterly intolerable paganism here exposed, and fully sustained by Martial and other Latin poets, accounts for much of the discipline of the early Church, and its excessive laudations of virginity.]

[3207] Otherwise read, “among you;” or possibly, “whose bathing is modest towards you.”

[3208] Gen. iii. 16.

[3209] Luke xx. 35, 36.

[3210] 1 Cor. xv. 47.

Treatise III. On the Lapsed.

[3211] [Written a.d. 251.]
