Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[3641] [This is numbered xii. in Oxford trans., and is assigned to a.d. 256.]
[3642] The deacon Pontius thus briefly suggests the purpose of this treatise in his Life of Cyprian: “Who was there to restrain the ill blood arising from the envenomed malignity of envy with the sweetness of a wholesome remedy?”
[3644] According to some, “of our members.”
[3645] [The nude in art, the music of the opera, and sensual luxury of all sorts, are here condemned. And compare Clem. Alex., vol. ii. p. 249, note 11, this series.]
[3646] [Chrysostom, vol. iv. p. 473, ed. Migne. This close practical preaching is a lesson to the younger clergy of our days.]
[3647] Some add “long ago.”
[3648] Wisd. ii. 24. [So Lactantius, Institutes, book ii. cap. ix. in vol. vii., this series.]
[3649] [Chrysostom, vol. iv. p. 473, ed. Migne. This close practical preaching is a lesson to the younger clergy of our days.]
[3650] [Chrysostom, ut. supra.]
[3651] Variously “semel” or “simul.”
[3653] Or, with some editors, “more increased in honours.” [To be purged from a Christian’s heart like a leprosy from the body. See Jeremy Taylor, sermon xix., Apples of Sodom. Quotation from Ælian, vol. i. p. 717.]
[3654] [The sin of Novatian and Arius. See p. 489, note 3, supra.]
[3655] [Another specimen of our author’s pithy condensations of thought and extraordinary eloquence.]
[3659] Erasmus and others give this reading. Baluzius, Routh, and many codices, omit “vulnus,” and thus read, “what is seen.”
[3660] [“It punishes the delinquent in the very act.” Jer. Taylor, ut supra, p. 492, also Anselm, Opp., i. 682, ed. Migne.]
[3661] Luke ix. 48. [Elucidation IX.]
